Chapter 28: The Power Couple! Part 2 (1/2)
After the cool down of their work out, the two of them decided to wash away the sweat and grime that had acc.u.mulated on their bodies. Initially, the procedure was that they would take turns, but this time, since they were now an item, they could bathe together. Tanatswa was still getting used to this side of their romancing and was making sure he wouldn't over extend himself, least he would anger the only girlfriend he had ever had. As the two of them submerged their bodies into the pool of water, Shami, made her clavicle to the neck up visible to him. She unstrapped the animal hide she was wearing and used the coconut soap to scrub her body. As the foam built up on her hair, she divided down and saw Tanatswa's junk and then resurfaced with a wicked smile. Tanatswa just watched as this girl did her thing, being energetic and jovial over the simplest of things. Tanatswa just washed and minded his business, but soon enough, Shami found his act a bit boring.
”Why are you acting all coy Tana?” she asked, splas.h.i.+ng water at him.
”Hey, stop that, stop splas.h.i.+ng water at me.” he said, peeved by her antics.
”You know you should relax a bit, or are your muscles so sour that you can't just let loose in this pool. I mean you bath like you're in a concentration camp.” she said, jokingly.
”You do realise that if we were in different circles, that joke would have probably offended a lot of people.” he said, glancing at her as he tried to dodge her water projectiles.
”Well f.u.c.k political correctness. We live in Goshem now, so that won't affect us. You know Tanatswa, you're really fascinating guy.” she said, as she floated atop the water. Her b.r.e.a.s.t.s and her knees were showing as she did back strokes.
”Really now, I wonder where you're going with this?” he asked, curious as to what insane thing would come out of her mouth.
”You have this knack of being either very hot or cold, never Luke warm. When you're dark and gloomy, you're 100% doing it and when you're getting very excited, you go crazy.” she said, floating towards him in the pool.
”What made you come to that conclusion?” he asked, unsure of where she was going with this.
”Well observation and the fact that we have been staying together. For a guy who claims you never went hard for fitness in the past, you sure look like you're in the zone when you do it.” she said, reaching him and then submerging her body.
”Like I said before, I had the pa.s.sion for it, but circ.u.mstances didn't allow for me to even scratch the surface.” he said, now sounding a bit serious.
”Well then, now that you're in the right circ.u.mstances, what else could you not do that you wish you could do now? I remember you mentioning you drawing comics and making music at one point in your life, so would you want to draw me comics?” she asked, with a whimsical expression.
”You want me to draw you comics? Okay where the h.e.l.l is this coming from?” he asked, doubtful of her true intentions.
”Well you said you were a promising artist who didn't get the chance to live your dreams, so maybe we could get you to draw or paint your material again.” she said, with a gleaming face.
”Even if I wanted to, there aren't any pens, paints, paper or any art stores where I can just easily get a hold of such equipment. Let's face it, I am better off cave painting and sculpting models with clay.” he said in a rather b.u.mmer tone.
”Well, we are pretty smart people plus we have the added advantage of the custom goal, it's basically google afterlife. If people back in the day figured out how to make paper, pens, ink and anything, then we can too.” she said, getting close to him. Tanatswa felt really uncertain about her close proximity and believed that it conflicted with her stipulation that they weren't supposed to touch. She had insisted on no touching, but here she was, nude in water, right next to him.
”Okay, maybe I could get back into that…” he said, before getting interjected.
”Yeah and even your music.” she said, now grabbing him by the torso.
”I can't produce music without a laptop. I don't think it's possible for me to just whip up a pc that has the right music software like FL Studio 11 without any background knowledge in manufacturing nor specialised sound software development. Just forget about it.” he said, becoming frustrated by her arrogant questions.
”But you can play an instrument right?” she asked.
”Yeah, but regardless…” he said before being interjected by her again.
”Well I could make you an acoustic guitar. You don't need to plug anything or use any music software” she said, with frantic enthusiasm.
”Why all the sudden are you interested in facilitating my past pa.s.sions?” he asked, now grabbing her by the torso.
”I know I tend to do things in an unconventional manner, but when you talked about us having to do those insane drills every day plus factoring in my priority list, I realised that we have just been surviving and not really living. Like once we get our s.h.i.+t together, level up, get the mana farm up and running, kick all the a.s.ses of the a.s.sholes who try to gank our s.h.i.+t, what will become of our lives? Maybe we could invent things or do cool s.h.i.+t like your music, or we could start a football club. It's just that, it would be nice for a change of pace. You and me, we are a bunch of crazy, s.e.xy and beautiful people playing the Hunger games. Even if it's necessary for us to live like this for now, just remember that even war torn kings need a court jester. Saw think about it.” she said, as she embraced him.
”Alright, I will consider what you're saying. We better head off and get started with the mana plant stuff.” he said, feeling awkward about Shami's b.r.e.a.s.t.s rubbing against his lower chest as she tried to convey to him something serious.
