Shannon couldn't hold back her giggles. "You are such a nerd," she teased, taking a few steps toward him and kissing his cheek before heading into the bathroom, shaking her head and grinning in amusement.
He hadn't been wrong about the bathroom being huge. In all honesty, Shannon was surprised. It was even bigger than hers and more surprising, still, nicer. Hers was simple, because it looked just like the one in the apartment she'd shared with Nora, minus, of course, the litter of Nora's numerous skin and hair care products and appliances.
Looking over her shoulder reflexively to make sure he wasn't peeking, Shannon stepped further into the bathroom and, with a small smile and a roll of her eyes, put down the toilet's lid so she could leave the clothes there. Before turning on the water, she looked at herself in the mirror. "Ugh...I wouldn't kiss me looking like this," she whispered to herself, wrinkling her nose. Her face was dirty and her hair was a mess, matted in the spot where the lizard had held her.
After getting herself a towel, Shannon turned on the shower, disrobed, and got in, sitting down on the floor of the shower and letting the water pelt down on her. She was truthfully too damn tired to be taking a shower, but it felt good, in any case. Squinting against the water, she looked around the shower for shampoo, conditioner, and soap. She was disappointed, but not surprised, only to find a bar of Zest and a bottle of cheap shampoo. No conditioner at all. With a sigh, she pulled herself to her feet again. "I can't use that," she said softly, not wanting Dean to hear her complaint but unwilling to use what he had in his shower on herself. "I need Aveda shampoo and conditioner, Pangea shower gel - lavendar - some facial cleanser - and not the cheap shit, either - and a loofah," she went on, addressing the Planet. When all of it appeared, she gave herself a triumphant, self-satisfied smirk, and proceeded with her shower.
Once she felt sufficiently clean, she got out of the shower and wrapped the towel around herself, letting out a soft sigh of appreciation. Stepping back so that she was hidden by a bit of wall rather than just the mood beads, Shannon moved the towel to wrap it around her hair until she had dressed again. She lifted the collar of the sweatshirt to her nose reflexively and could smell something very distinctly Dean on it. She closed her eyes as a wave of guilt washed over her. She hadn't felt badly about flirting with Sam or taunting Greg...but wearing Dean's clothes, staying in his room; kissing him? It wasn't really cheating on Sayid if they hadn't made themselves an official couple, but she still felt badly. Maybe because she already felt so attached to Dean when maybe she shouldn't.
Shannon dropped heavily down onto the still-closed toilet and took her head in her hands, heaving a sigh. Was she a bad person? She'd never see Sayid again if the Plaque was to be trusted, but she'd heard of people being sent back and if that happened how could she look Sayid in the eye again after Dean? She didn't want to think about it.
Taking a deep breath, Shannon sat up straight again, discarding the towel to the floor and asked the Planet for a brush, dragging it through her hair until all the tangles were out. She reached down, grabbed the towel, and stood, hanging it on a hook on the wall before heading back out of the bathroom.
Dean was already on his bed. She gave him a weak smile. "Much better," she announced. Her hair was still wet, her makeup had been mostly lost in the shower, save her waterproof mascara and eyeliner which she'd purposefully avoided with the facial cleanser, but other than that, she felt and looked much better, in her own opinion. Crossing the room, she sat down on the edge of the other bed and drew her knees up to her chest, wrapping her arms around them. "Thanks again for letting me stay," she added, giving him another grateful smile before unfolding herself and laying down on her back, staring up at the ceiling. How she was going to sleep with her mind turning over so many things, she had no idea.
