1 spend some time relaxing in the warm water, letting the heat soak away some of my aches. Then I notice how hairy I am. Wow, who knew I could grow so much hair in 6 weeks? I glance around for a razor, I can’t walk around like this. I might be the reincarnation of a cavewoman but it’s 2024, there’s no need to live like my past self now. My search for a razor is unsuccessful and I huff in frustration. How the hell am I going to deal with this? I stare at the unwanted hair, wishing it would just disappear. Then yelp in shock when it dissolves right in front of my eyes. “No way,” I gasp, running my hands over my now smooth legs in disbelief. I lift an arm to check my underarm and that hair is gone too. This is my favourite power to date. Never having to shave ever again? Awesome! Then I reach up to touch my head in a panic, a rush of relief washing over me when I feel my hair still there. My eyebrows and eyelashes are thankfully still intact too. I hear a brief shout before the bathroom door flies open and 5 men come piling in, ready to fight.
I shriek and cover myself when Mr Collins‘ worried gaze lands on me.
“What happened? Your heart rate picked up,” Luke breathes. Still looking on edge, dispute being able to see I’m just fine.
“I… erm… I magically shaved, and then I got scared I might have…” I pause to search for a word, ” deleted the hair on my head, sorry” I chew nervously on my lip. Theo barks out a laugh.
“Shit babe, that’s awesome but don’t scare us like that,” he puts a hand on his heart. Mason huffs and walks out followed by Mr Collins and I relax a little.
“You three need to leave too,” my red–headed nurse commands.
“Not happening sweetheart, we’ve got it from here,” Luke tells her. Her eyes meet mine, a warning of what she had said earlier and I give her a nod. I thank both the nurses and they leave.
“You’re done in there right?” Theo asks and I nod. He leans over and lifts me from the bath holding my wet body to him, seemingly unbothered that I’m soaking his clothes, Luke comes up from behind and sandwiches me in between them.
“I’ve missed you so fucking much, Jose,” Theo whispers, placing a kiss on the top of my head.
“I never want to go that long without seeing your smile again,” Luke murmurs against my shoulder.
I can tell they are emotional at our reunion but I don’t fully understand how they feel because for me it feels like no time has passed.
“My turn,” Axel says, gently coaxing me from Theo and Luke to wrap me in his own arms. I rest my face against Axel’s strong chest and I feel a towel wrap around me from behind.
After I convince the guys to let me clean my teeth alone I check my appearance in the mirror. My face looks thinner but otherwise, I look the same. I run my fingers over my scalp and there’s no obvious sign of where I was injured. Satisfied I’m not a hideous mess I leave the bathroom wrapped in a towel. My legs still feel a little shaky but I feel better with every passing minute. With every step, my joints quickly get used to moving again. I hear Mason talking quietly with Mr Collins and a flash of a memory hits me. Mason’s desperate pleas for Dot to fix me. My heart breaks as I remember the utter fear and desperation in his voice as he’d fallen to his knees with me in his arms. I stride over to him, interrupting his conversation to wrap my arms around him. His body stiffens at my touch and he doesn’t return my embrace. All the progress I’d made with him seems to have gone.
“Theo,” Mason grunts in a warning and Theo quickly pulls me from Mason. I watch in shock as he storms away. My eyes meet Mr Collins and he gives me a sympathetic look before going after Mason.
