Surprised that when she opened the door, James slipped right by her and headed right for the bathroom. She couldn’t help giggling. She figured he would have none of that – her helping. He always wanted Freya to just relax, but that’s exactly what she wanted of James when he was not working. He did say that he was not going to neglect her duties, so she couldn’t argue very much. She was going to head into her room to gather a change of clothes, but James had begun talking so she gave pause.

At the mention of their hot chocolate time, she smiled. [color=0072bc][b]“Right – I’m not sure one does like being stood up for a promised cup of warm chocolate.”[/b][/color] At the mention of wonderful company, she felt a warmth in her chest. They did enjoy each other’s company – able to relax considerably and talk about almost anything. She appreciated that, watching as he walked back into the apartment and closing the door gently with his foot since his hands were full and back into the bathroom. Giggling at him as he came out, still sitting in the living room, she tilted her head curiously. [color=0072bc][b]“How do you do that, James? I think I might have flooded the bathroom.”[/b][/color] She laughed, sliding off the chair and headed towards her room. [color=0072bc][b]“I’ll go grab a change of clothes since I couldn’t before – save I be rude leaving in the middle of someone talking to me.”[/b][/color] She teased with a grin as she closed the door behind her to her room to pick out some comfier clothes. 

Gladly removing her shoes, she put them by her closet doors where the rest of her shoes lie and grabbed one of her comfier pajamas. The night out had been great, and so had being on the ferris wheel, but the night air really had her shivering. She needed to get warm asap. The bath would help her get warm, but she needed to stay warm after she got out and grabbed a [url= https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/21/5c/7f/215c7fc3f6d4dd8e7067b48e1ea10ef9.jpg]plush gray onesie with snowflake decorations on it [/url] that her aunt had sent her last Christmas. She grabbed her brush and then headed back out and in passing James, waved. [color=0072bc][b]“Thank you again! You should probably shower and get changed into your pjs too, James. You know I take forever in baths.”[/b][/color] With that, she entered the bathroom and set her change of clothes down before sighing. Unzipping her dress from the side, it slid to the floor and she removed her undergarments, putting them into the basket that was inside the bathroom. The air inside the bathroom smelled divine and she gently began brushing her hair out, before sinking into the warm steamy water. 

A sigh of content left her as she sank into the water, noticing the petals that were scattered in. Freya smiled and her cheeks gained a small amount of color. Leave it to James to think of the little things. She leaned into the water more, enjoying it for about twenty minutes. She wanted to take full advantage of the warmth of the water, saving to wash her hair until she was just about to get out. She did have to get out, though. If she didn’t then she was sure to get sick. Besides, she had hot chocolate to look forward to once she got out.
