to you. Knock before you come back in, ok? And we’ll try this. If it’s too awkward or neither of us feels right, we’ll stop, call it a night, and then I’ll figure out what to do in the morning. What do you say?”
“Ok, but if I say no again, you’ll let it go and not ask this of me?”
“If it makes you that uncomfortable, let’s just not do it then.” I felt horrible. He seems scared of me now. Earlier today he was the tower of strength and he even convinced me to spend the night with him. Does the thought of me in a swim suit scare him that much? Surely, he’s seen women at the pool, on the beach? And surely he’s seen naked women and had sex with them. I don’t know what to say.
“No, it’s just that…” He turns to me now. “I, just, I, um….damn it. I don’t know how to say this to you.” He sighed.
Maybe I read him all wrong. Maybe he wasn’t turned on. He’s trying to let me down easy and I’m not even asking him to have sex with me, just help me in and out of a bath with my swim suit on! “Oh, I see. You don’t have to say anything more. I understand. I’m so sorry. And I thought I had embarrassed myself enough today. Please take my apology and go call your mom and go to bed. Let’s just pretend this never happened, ok” I started towards the door to usher him out and lock myself in when he grabbed my arm. An electric sensation coursed through me.
“Stop. You don’t understand anything. Whatever you think you know, trust me, you don’t know.” His eyes were burning me with intensity. “Go put your suit on. I’ll be right back.”
And then he walked out of the room closing the door on his way out. A shiver went through me but not the bad kind. Without thinking I hopped right to my suitcase on the bed and started to change into my swim suit as anticipation built throughout my body.
Chapter Five
I was sitting on the edge of the tub with the water running so it would heat up. I chose the most modest but easy to remove swim suit I had, a ruby red halter top with bikini bottoms. The top covered more than my other swim suits so I thought it more appropriate for this situation, although with a D cup it was always a challenge to find a swim suit that fit well and didn’t make you look cheap and sleazy. I remembered I needed to pull my hair into a ponytail so it wouldn’t get wet so I grabbed my crutches and headed back into the bedroom to retrieve one when I heard Ozais knock on the door.
“Adira? Is it ok to come in?” He spoke timidly.
“Yes, come on in.” He stopped dead in his tracks as he entered the room. I saw his jaw tense and his pupil’s dilate. “I was just looking for a ponytail holder to put my hair up.” I leaned the crutches next to the bed and stood stork-like on one foot while digging in my makeup organizer for ponytail holder.
“Can I help you?”
“No, I got it.” I started to twist my reddish-brown shoulder length hair in to a ponytail. I pushed the end of my hair through the coated rubber band to make a messy bun. “There, that way I won’t get my hair wet. I can wait another day to wash it. I’ve already got the water filling up the tub, so let’s get this over with.” I hopped into the bathroom with Ozias following me.
“Here, let me hold your hand.” He took the crutches from me and sat them against the sink. “Do you just want me to help you in so you don’t injury yourself further. I mean, I’m already here.”
“Ok.” He gently picked me up and I instantly felt at home again. I sighed. Ozias smiled and lightly laughed. “What?” I asked shyly.
“Nothing.” He smiled when he said it. “Ok, here we go. Put your hands on the sides and I’ll
