Chapter 5 : The forgotten clothes

                                    

                                          
Emma wanted to start her morning daily routine again, which was running. She woke up at 5.40, then washed her face. She threw her hair up into a ponytail and quickly put on sweatpants and a sports tank top. She plugged earphone on her ears and turn on the song in her mobile phone, then hitched her phone at the waist of her sweatpants.
The morning weather was slightly cold. Grass and leaves were still covered by morning dew. It was refreshing for her. She ran for about 1 hour around neighborhood. She passed small park, playground, and basketball court. She could feel the wind blew her face and hair.
When she arrived at home (well because she lived here now, she could say that it was her home too right?) she strolled to the kitchen to grab some drink. Then she heard voices from the backyard. The brothers were playing basketball. They were glistened in sweat on their face and arm. She opened the French door that accessed to the yard. Both boys looked to her direction.
"Morning," Emma greeted them. Andrew gave smile then dribbled the ball and did a three-point shoot.
Alex checking her out from head to toe before greet her, "Morning. Early riser too?"
"Yep." She gulped her drink, trying to ignore Alex's gaze.  He smirked and returned to his game trying to snatch the ball from Andrew. 
She stayed there for couple of minutes, looking at her soon to be brothers. The backyard was equipped with sort of fitness equipment's; such as squat rack, bench press, dumbbells, punch bag and others thing that she couldn't see it clearly from the distance. They've already built some sort of mini gym. Next to the mini gym was a patio with a table and 4 seats. And there was also a field that dedicated as basketball court, although the size only half of the regular, where Andrew and Alex were playing. She watched them play one-on-one. Alex was dribbling the ball, he stepped left and right tried to avoid Andrew's guard, then he managed to pass him and jumped to do the shoot, but Andrew managed to block it.
"SHIT!" Alex cursed him. Andrew smirked at him and gave him a smug face.
Emma had these weaknesses:
1.       Everything that crawl and disgusting animal
2.       Handsome guy
3.       Handsome tall guy 
4.       Handsome guy who can play basketball
5.       Handsome guy who can cook
6.       Handsome guy who are gentleman
She sighed, "I need to hang out with my friends. I need to escape from this sweet and forbidden temptation," suddenly she felt so thirsty. She stood up, turn around, and went back into the house to grab more drink after that she took a shower.
*couple minutes later in the bathroom*
"Shit, I forgot my clothes" 
When Emma went back to the house, she suddenly felt stomachache. So, she dashed to the bathroom. After she had done with her 'business', she decided to take shower afterwards. And when she had dried her hair and body, turned around to find her clothes, at that moment she realized that she forgot to bring her clean clothes to the bathroom.   
What should I do? What should I do? Mm...well I just need to get out and walk to my room, I think they haven't finished their exercise yet. I hope. She braced herself. She covered her body with her towel, making sure that the towel was tied properly so it would not drop when she walked to her room. As she opened the bathroom door, she froze. Because they were there. Standing in front of her room's door, stopping whatever they were doing, then just staring at her. Their face looked surprise. 
SHITE. WHY!!??. She cursed universe that was not on her side right now.
She stepped back inside the bathroom again and slammed the door closed. She leaned her back on the door and panted. She considered whether she continued to walk to her room or just waited in the bathroom until they had gone to their room. There was a debate happened in her mind. She waited for a few minutes in the bathroom to make sure they had already went somewhere. Then she braced herself again, she opened the door and...... they were still there.
"SHIT", she muttered and gritted her teeth.
They turned their head and looked at her when they heard the door opened. Then a smirk grew on their lips. 
BOTH. Even Andrew!! She screamed silently. Deciding to brace herself, she looked down then sprinted to her room. But Alex blocked her right in front of her door room. 
That jerk. She took a deep breath. 
"Move, Alex" she ordered him.
"Aww... is that what your mom taught you when you want something? What is the password Emma?"  sweet teasing voice came out from him.
"What? Is this some kind of game?" Emma snapped back, shot glare at him. She forgot about the embarrassment that she felt before.  She could feel Andrew was staring at her back. 
"The password Emma?" Alex smiled sweetly. His eyes traveling from her eyes to her body and getting low. He licked his lips. She clenched the grip on her towel and took a deep breath.
"Alex, please?" she pleaded, trying to give her sweetest smile that she could. Although her eyes gave death glare to him. He smirked.
"There you go, Princess" he stepped aside, letting her pass through. Once she in her room, she spun around and slammed the door right in front of their face. On the other side of door, both boys burst out laughing. She lightly banged her head to the door. Cursed them both.   
"ASSHOLE"
