"Sure," Finnick agreed readily. He didn't have the habit of lazing in bed, and he only did so earlier because Vivian was still in bed.
Since she was now awake, he promptly got out of bed and dressed.
As Vivian was a touch shy last night, she merely took off her coat but kept her clothes on before sleeping. For that reason, it took her no time to get dressed.
She remembered that Finnick moved fast, so she turned around to see whether he was done dressing.
But never had she thought that he'd only be wearing a shirt at this moment. As her eyes continued traveling down, a particular part of him was slightly erect and showed signs of springing
right up.
Shock swamped her when she saw that.
Huh? Did he strip everything when he went to sleep last night? And why is he dressing so slowly? He's doing this deliberately, yes?
"What's the matter? Do you miss it?" Finnick teased when he noticed that her gaze remained fixed on that part of him.
Subsequently, Vivian followed his gaze, only to spot Larry, who was standing at the side. Then, she realized the reason he was slower in getting dressed than usual.
It turned out that he had dressed Larry while she was still putting on her coat.
After realizing that, she was gripped by the urge to crawl into a hole. Argh! This is truly mortifying!
Alas, she had no choice but to face him.
"Alright, speed up." As Finnick gazed at her face that was as red as an overly ripe tomato, he couldn't help chortling even harder.
"Okay." Vivian touched her flaming face before hastening her movements.
Very quickly, she finished dressing and went into the bathroom to wash up. In the bathroom, she saw her toothbrush with toothpaste laid out as usual, with Finnick having prepared everything for her.
In a flash, a burst of warmth flooded her. After brushing her teeth, she went downstairs. Just when she had reached the landing, she caught sight of the three people, who were eating breakfast downstairs.
"Hurry up and come have breakfast, Vivian," Benedict hastily prompted when he saw that she was still looking around upstairs.
