The water is scalding and then freezing and then scalding again. It’s so impactful I can’t do anything other than scream. I’m getting burned and then frozen over and over. I guess I’m vaguely aware of the bathroom door flying open, but it isn’t untilI’m out of the shower and holding onto Drake while I cry from the pain that I realize he ran in to save me.
“You’re okay now,” he says gently.
It’s when Courtney says, “here, Honey,” and I feel her trying to get the robe around me that I notice I’m naked. I’m completely naked and holding onto Drake.
I’m naked holding Drake’s rock-hard body and feeling his strong arms wrapped around me.
I manage to pull away, and it takes all of my willpower to do it, but I have to, or I’ll end up staying there in his arms for far too long. Courtney wraps the robe around me, and they lead me to the kitchen. On the way, I see Cooper come out of Courtney’s room, concern on his face. “What’s wrong? Is Shelly okay?”
“She’s fine,” Courtney tells him. She just got shocked by the shower.”
“Oh yeah,” Cooper says. “Yeah, the pipes take a minute or two to flow together. You have to start the water, then wait a little while before you step inside.”
“Silly, Shelly,” Courtney says gently. “I told you that.”
She did. That was one of the first things she told me when she told me I could stay with her for a while. I feel my cheeks flame hotter than they were in the shower. Drake must think I’m an idiot now.
They get me seated at the kitchen table, and Courtney makes some hot chocolate. Drake sits next to me, his arm around my shoulder, and despite my embarrassment, I can’t help but wish it was only the two of us in the house so I would have an excuse to straddle him.
Hey, I might as well fantasize. After this little episode, it’s all but guaranteed that Drake won’t want anything to do with me anymore.
After a little while, Courtney hands me my hot chocolate, and I start to calm down. I feel embarrassed still, but the physical and emotional shock of the water is no longer so vivid.
The three of them take turns comforting me and teasing me. Well, it’s mostly Courtney who teases me, but she teases me in a way that’s comforting. She’s my best friend, so she and I talk to each other differently than we talk to other people.
Anyway, I’m about to apologize to Drake for embarrassing myself in front of him when he says the sexiest thing imaginable.
“I’m going to spend the night on the couch, so if you need anything, you’ll be able to come get me.”
And despite everything that’s happened so far, I start to think about what I might give him.
Chapter Three
I start to masturbate as I lie in bed. I stop, though. Part of it is that I’m afraid that Courtney might come to check on me. I guess I’m also at least a little worried that maybe Drake will come check on me. That would be pretty embarrassing.
Of course, how much more embarrassed can I be?
I make a complete fool of myself and then hold onto him while I weep like a little kid and… Well, and stand there against him completely naked. Yeah, I think we’ve already reached the point where embarrassment is way past being an issue, right?
Still, I don’t want him to come in and see me touching myself. So, I lay there in bed and I just think about everything. It occurs to me that the guy thinks I’m hot. Then, he sees me naked and decides to stay on the couch. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that he’s full of shit and just trying to get some action but it kind of confirms that he’s really interested in me.
And he’s really sexy and sweet.
It occurs to me as I climb out of my bed and put the robe back on that I’m either going to be pleased with myself for scalding and freezing my body in the shower or I’ll beat myself up more vehemently. It all depends on what Drake does.
Well, I have the robe on, so I’m sort of committed. I’m really nervous, though, so I rush to the bedroom door and step out before I can think better of it. I walk to the end of the hallway and whisper, “Are you awake, Drake?”
I have to be honest. I hope he’s asleep and doesn’t answer. I’m so freaked out!
But he says in a quiet voice, “I’m up. Are you okay?”
I don’t have the guts to step out into the living room. I whisper, “Can you help me with something.”
“Sure,” he says.
He starts to ask what I need but I whisper over him. “I’ll be in the room.”
Then, I hurry back to my room, my heart beating like crazy and my entire body alive with jitters. I guess my skin is a little tender still from the scalding water. I’m also shivering a little even though I don’t feel cold anymore. I step in the room and try to take some deep breaths. I realize the light is off and turn it on just as Drake arrives. He raps on the door, and I open it and say, “Come in.”
