Pantless

[Lorenzo Frijas]

Night time was Lorenzo's time for chores. He often couldn't fall asleep and had nothing better to do. Usually he just clean up one of his many messes or did the odds and ends then needed to be dealt with.

Tonight was laundry.

The chore had been brought to his attention when after school, he went to change into something more comfortable but found every single article of clothing in his hamper, which was by-the-way filled to the brim. He passed to off, of course, until 1 in the morning. Reluctantly, he grabbed the soiled mess and snuck out of his door as to not wake up his roommates. He always tried not the other them because nobody likes the obnoxious asshole who doesn't give a shit about anyone else's wellbeing. 

Anyways, Enzo wondered left and right down the many halls until lye came across the laundry room. It was stacked with metallic boxes, none of which were operating. Oh yeah, he was pants-less. boxers were the only things covering his body, even those barely staying on. Of course, the only boxers that were clean were the ones two sizes too big for him. He didn't really give it a second thought though, he thought everyone was asleep. Im mean come on, it was something around 1:30 am and he was sure no one was up. Sure of it. 

As he filled his goods into the washer and reached up onto the shelf to grab the detergent, someone walked in. At first he stayed still and closed his eyes. "Shit." He quickly pulled what little he had on back up and turned to the individual. He tired to prevent his face rom reddening, but he failed. "Good morning." Was all he managed to say.

It was late. Really late. Callie had just gotten back to her dorm from one of her many escapades in the great outdoors. She really does get lost out there. Not in a physical way, she always knows where she is, but more in a mental way. She losses all sense of time. It’s her sanctuary. Not to mention there was always something new to discover. She took her pocket cam out of her back pocket and threw it on her bed. She’d need to upload all of the footage from today and go through, edit, and study it.

There was something about the school at this time, it was peaceful. Just like the mountains that surrounded them. Callie eyed her pocket cam. She knew she’d need to leave it for tomorrow. Otherwise she’d be up all night, and exhausted for her adventures tomorrow. It was odd, she was both a night owl and a morning person. The morning thing came from growing up on a ranch where you had to be up and outside before the sun came out. The night owl things is new. It’s because she likes the serenity that comes along with it.

Callie’s blues eyes looked over to where her laundry basket usually was. “Gosh darn it!” She said with a giggle. She wasn’t really upset or mad. It was actually kind of funny. She remembered that she started laundry earlier that day before she went outside, but that was over eight hours ago. She knew that if she was lucky her clothes would be tossed on top of a washer, and hoped that they weren’t on the floor, or worse, the garbage. No, no. It would be on top of a machine.

The student quickly made her way down to the laundry room, positive her clothes would be where she left them…eight hours ago. Letting out a sigh, she swung open the door. As soon as she walked in she saw someone standing there. Was he not wearing pants? Callie’s blue eyes went wide with shock and awe. It was so unexpected. She let out a giggled, and immediately covered her mouth with her hand. Oh how she wished she had her camcorder. She watched as he pulled up his falling boxers and turned to see a red faced boy.

“Morin’.” Callie said with a warm smile. Her southern accent heavy. Sure. It was technically the next day, therefore being morning. Yeah, why not. She averted her eyes from the boy. Not wanting to make him any more uncomfortable than he probably already is. Her eyes scanned around the room. Shit. She didn’t see any clothes out. Before moving she looked back at the boy, making sure to only look at his face, which she was very much interested in studying. “All outta pants huh?” She asked, concerned that she too might now be out of a lot of clothes.

Oh shit. A pretty girl. Of course, a college student. He'd seen her around before. The accent triggered his recognition. 

Lorenzo tried his best to cover himself as best as he could. In the right mood he could have just stood there confidently but for some reason the shock of it all embarrassed him. "Yeah, uh- chores aren't really my thing." He nervously looked over at the dryer. "Hurry up." He whispered, barely audible, facing it. His sweatpants were still soaking wet. "Dammit. Yeah, I uh- just got to the laundry. I didn't think anyone was up." He suddenly decided to change his attitude towards the situation. He wasn't in the mood to be all shy and modest. Besides, he honestly didn't give a shit about what this girl thought of him. Lorenzo didn't even know her. 

He relaxed, changing his body language and tone. He wasn't tot cocky about it or anything, just nonchalant. "You're welcome to join me if you'd like." He shrugged. The boxers were almost coming off of him but he didn't bother to pull them up. He might get a kick out of this. The girl seemed sweet and innocent. He maybe she had some late night angst build up or something? Who knew?

Oh how she wished she had her pocket cam with her. This was embarrassment and awkwardness in its purist form. If only she had taken it with her, but then again she hadn’t expected to run into someone in the laundry room this late at night either, neither did he. Callie remained frozen in the doorway for about a moment too long. She watched as he looked back at the dryer as if that would make his clothes dry any faster. Now that would be an interesting power, being able to make things dry faster. This boy could definitely use that right about now.

“Yeah, well can’t say I blame ya. I didn’t think anyone would be here either.” She said as her eyes left the boys face and looked around the room once again, as the she would have missed a big pile of clothes in the first place. When he spoke again she looked back at him, this time noticing that his boxers looked too big for him to be wearing. She looked over there room once more and bit her bottom lip. Damn. “Aw thanks, but I’m really just hoping my laundry is here from early.” She said as she began playing with the tips of her hair. She would need to take the pony tail out soon, it was starting to give her a headache. “I kinda started it about eight hours ago…” She added, looking back at the boy. She was half tempted to run back up to her room and grab her pocket cam, but that would be too weird now.

Callie stepped closer to the boy, looked him once over, and gave a smile. “Why you wearing boxers that are clearly too big anyhow?” She jested, curious of his answer. She raised and eyebrow and continued twisting the tips of her hair.
