Chapter 17: ERICH SLEPT IN NATHAN'S ARMS
“Man! I can’t do this! I can’t bathe him,” I am here fighting with my thoughts, whilst Erich he’s standing waiting for me to remove his clothes to get inside the bathtub.
“Why am I so scared if I am straight? Or is it because he’s a guy, and I’m a guy and it’s not easy to bath a guy?” I am so confused, battling with my thoughts.
“Nathan,” Erich called Nathan with a pain in his tone. It made Nathan to snap out from his thought.
“Sorry, let me help you remove your clothes,” I said that to him, whilst removing his PJ tee with my eyes closed, well I was behind him, so he was not seeing anything.
Erich he’s looking on the mirror that was reflecting Nathan’s face while removing his PJ tee with his eyes closed, and he said nothing, he was just appreciating that Nathan was there to help him.
I managed to remove everything on Erich’s body without looking at his actual body, and I placed him inside a full warm water with aloe vera and lemon foam bath, it has a nice and fresh smell. I washed Erich silky black long hair first, going to his face then I bend him down a little to wash his back, then I went to his toes to his legs then I gave him the exfoliating sponge to finish the rest and I went out from the bathroom for few minutes until he called me in.
I got inside to find Erich waiting for me to pull him up and wrap him with a towel around his body. I looked around first trying to find a towel, then he told me it’s in his wardrobe, after getting the towel, I placed it on my left shoulder while pulling Erich up and wrapped up his towel on his body, it was very thick, and fast to dry out all the wetness from his body.
When I was busy applying some rosehip lotion on his body whilst his hair was wrapped in its own towel, my phone bleeped twice, I thought it was Edward and I just ignored it. Erich has the smoothest skin, when I was applying the lotion, my hands were trembling especially at his back, this is the bare back I was longing to get my hands on and got me drooling, before knowing he's actually a guy. I was standing whilst applying the lotion on his body, and honest speaking, his skin felt so nice in my hands.
He told me that I will find his fresh PJ’s clothes on the first door of the wardrobe, and I did, they were sweet pink, it was long sleeve tee and long pant. I put them on him. I had to do it, I had to help him this far, this showed how much I can care about someone, and now seeing him in his blankets sleeping peacefully it made me feel joy in my heart.
“Guys, we have to go to Erich’s dorm to check up on him,” Lana stated.
“No, Nathan said he will take care of him,” Edward stated whilst taking a bite from his place.
“I think he will be excited to see us. Why don’t we go there and do our project there? Let’s finish and leave this cafeteria,” Eddie stated, with a big bite in his mouth, and he nearly choked.
“Don’t eat like that, we are not rushing,” Michael said while looking at Eddie who stopped chewing for a second.
“Yes, let’s go to his place,” Rose stated.
Chris breathed heavily before saying, “I guess today we won’t see Joseph and his friend.”
“What’s wrong with Chris being obsessed with those dumb guys,” Aaron said in his own thoughts, looking at Chris with an evil eye while Chris his looking down at his food with a fork on his right hand.
Zack his in his room on his bed laid with his stomach, thinking about how hard it is for him to keep the Miller’s twin siblings it is the hardest thing for him to do, he literally can’t stop chatting with Zoe because he doesn’t want to lose Jack, and the fact that Zoe she’s deeply into him, she keeps throwing some signals to Zack to show him that she’s interest in him whilst Zack acting like he can’t see the signs, it’s a lot of hard for him.
“I want to tell Zack that I like him, actually I love him,” Zoe talking with Jack with a jumpy motion and a wide smile on her face whilst sitting down on sofa in the living room next to Jack who was busy with his phone.
Jack heart skipped a beat, it was a hard beat that made him to gulp a hard lump that immediately formed on his throat.
“Isn’t that too soon? You barely know him,” Jack stated.
“When you have some love to share, just share it sooner before its being taken away from you whilst you’re still deciding,” Zoe said with excited voice.
“Damn it felt like she was talking about me, I felt my head pound a little bit,” Jack stated in his mind.
“Uhm! Okay just don’t expect positive answer, and good luck,” Jack stated with some bit of sighs between his words. This is truly hard for Jack, and I can’t imagine how Zack will react.
Jack stood up from the couch and went to bed, and pressed his face hard with the pillow and let out the scream that was filling up in him.
Edward and all of his friends went to Erich’s place, the guard gave them the permission after explaining themselves why they need to be at Zoe’s dorm room. The found Nathan preparing food for him and Erich who was already up waiting for food. And he’s looking much better, I guess Nathan can take a good care of a person. Or is it just Erich!
Thank you, guys, for being here, once we are done eating, we will join you with the project, and his friends were just very impressed by Nathan how he takes care of Erich like it’s his wife or husband. But they don’t want to say anything to either one of them since they have new partners in the picture.
“Please take care of Erich guys, I already gave him medications, now I want to go to my place, take a bath and come back with some fresh clothes for tomorrow,” Nathan stated whilst going out, after they finished with the project.
“Wait… wait… And wait! Is Nathan sleeping here tonight?” Toni asking whilst looking at Erich who was also in shock.
“I guess he cares about Erich more than he thought he does,” Lana stated.
“Oh! Girl,” Chris talking with some snapping both of his fingers, with the tongue out and twitching his shoulders.
It was night, and time for Nathan and Erich to sleep, all of their friends they’ve been gone to their places.
I was sleeping on the floor, till I heard Erich shivering, his teeth were making sound from trembling, and I got up pulled the blankets up to his face, but they did no justice, it was time for me to slid inside the blanket with him behind him so that I can wrap my arms around him and make him warm. It was so soothing for me also, as I yearn more of him, that I kept pushing my body to his, more and more until his head was on my hard chest. It felt so nice sleeping with him inside my arms.
Erich felt Nathan’s hot breath touch his skin on his neck when he pulled himself up trying to catch a breath because his head was fully covered with blankets, making some strands of his hair at the back of his neck to stand, it felt amazing as the smile escaped his lips.
