Summary: Vae is an easy-going, if rather bookish, 16-year-old girl. When her dad remarries and she comes to meet his new family, she meets her step-cousin Andrew and accidentally sees him naked! Chaos ensues and she thinks he's the most annoying person she's ever met but as she gets to know him, she realizes there is more to him than meets the eye.
The Purpose of Locks:
Vae sighed and decided to take a quick shower to get the mousse of her head. It wasn’t working anyway.
She headed for the bathroom, connected to her room, with her toiletries in hand. She turned the knob, stepped inside, and let out a shriek when she caught a glimpse of a naked male body amidst the steam blanketing, and thankfully obscuring, the view inside.
She slammed it shut and rested her back on the door breathing heavily.
This could not be happening.
It was probably all a mistake.
Some sort of hallucination brought on by the heat.
She hesitantly opened the bathroom door again only to face angry brown eyes. "Do you mind?" the guy asked while in the process of wiping the steam off of the mirror. Thankfully there was a towel riding low on his hips and he was significantly more covered than when she'd first seen him. She gaped at him, "Who are you…?
"I'm Andrew, and I'm guessing you're Vae, my aunt's new step-daughter…right?"
Vae continued to gape at him, not quite believing that that this was all actually happening to her. She was traumatized for sure!
Andrew’s hand closed on her shoulder as he steered her backwards into her room, "We're going to be sharing this bathroom so next time, if you don't mind…knock, got it?"
The door slammed shut in her face.
Vae blinked and then something occurred to her and she knocked.
"What?" he looked exasperated.
She glared at him, "Next time learn to lock the door."All Rights Reserved
