Chapter 24: (Aubrey's POV)- Three Seconds
We were in his room. I had just stepped out of the shower and walked in with towel-dried hair and my pajamas on. I was wearing my sweats with a full-sleeved tee. I looked around in confusion to see the room empty. Why was it empty?
"Parker?" I called out. I peeked behind the door thinking he was gonna scare me but didn't see anyone. Then I headed to the bathroom. "Parker?" I asked, my voice softer almost a whisper as I stumbled around in the dark, looking for him. Why didn't I turn the damn lights on? "Park-" I was saying but his voice cut me off.
Correction.
His scream cut me off. "Boo!" he shouted, making me jump three feet in the air as a shrilling scream escapes my lips.
"Piss off! You scared the hell out of me!" I slapped his chest with a lot more force than intended.
"Ow, that kind of hurt," he chuckled while rubbing the spot where I hit him.
"Yeah?" I blurted out and before I could process, I slapped him right across the face. I gasped almost instantly, smacking my hand over my mouth. "Shit!" I shrieked. "Sorry!" I pinched myself. Did I just do that?
"Did you just..." He struggled to find his words.

"You're dead, Carthy," he spoke in a low warning way.
I should run.
"I'm just gonna- yeah uh ok," I stuttered while slowly backing up.
He grabbed my wrist and pulled me against himself.
"No head start this time?" I managed to stutter out.
He smirked devilishly. "You just slapped me why would I give you a head start?" He arched an eyebrow at me teasingly.
"Because I'm as slow as a turtle?" I stated but it came out more like a question.
