Chapter thirty six
**Oliver West**
Mom and Mrs. Morrison chose that moment to burst inside the bathroom. The door banged open and wide eyes fell on us, and the genuine horror in their eyes shattered the spell.
I could see the awkwardness of our position through their gaze, Kieran's hand was still pressed against my shoulders. He still held me flattened against the wall, both our bodies were soaking wet.
"What is going on here? Oliver, we heard your voice. Are you alright?" Mom asked, her voice was filled with panic as she regarded me. Perhaps, it was the fact that I was still fully dressed beneath the shower that made her seem to not guess the wrong meaning.
"Oh my!" Mrs. Morrison gasped aloud, her hand flying to her chest.
I met Kieran's gaze and disappointment welled deep inside of me. This was the closest we had ever been on an emotional level. His gaze that had been so deep with all the emotions he felt were now hidden behind a blank mask.
