CHAPTER 21
~Jade's POV~
My eyes widened when the footsteps approaching grew louder. "Shit," I whispered.
The door creaked open slightly.
"Yo, anyone in here?" a male voice called out.
Xander reacted instantly. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me toward the showers. I barely had time to gasp before he pushed me behind the tiled partition and into the narrow stall, stepping in after me and pulling the curtain shut.
My back hit the cold tile as his hands came down on my waist, anchoring me in place.
"Do not make a sound," he murmured close to my ear.
My heart was pounding so hard I was sure the guy outside could hear it.
We stood there pressed together in the tight space, barely breathing.
The bathroom door opened wider.
"Man, I don't know why the restroom downstairs was closed. I really have to pee," the guy muttered.
I squeezed my eyes shut as I heard him move toward the urinals.
