40 The Showering (1/2)

I looked around at the hotel room, taking in the arrangement of furniture and furnishing of the room that screamed lust. The atmospheric pink ceiling lights shined down from the ceiling and into the room. It was arranged so that the brightest part of the room was the large, circular waterbed that sat in the center of the room and near the far wall of the hotel room similar to a spotlight, almost as if emphasizing to whomever that entered the sole purpose of the room, which was to indulge in the world of sexual desires.

There exist a small door to the left of the entrance that led to the bathroom. However, when I and Loriana walked further into the room and when Loriana asked me whether or not I wanted to shower first, I realized a huge problem in the design. Instead of a solid wall, it was see through glass that separated the bathroom from the main hotel room, meaning everything within the bathroom could be seen by whoever was outside. Now that is a huge problem.

”So...what now?” I asked, looking over at her with nervousness speeding up my heart rate.

”Hmm...” Loriana appeared to be in thought. ”We still have to shower and change or else we might catch a cold. I didn't know that this will be here...”

”So what do we do?” I asked.

”We'll just have to use it as is,” Loriana closed her eyes and proceeded to walk over to the waterbed to take a seat. She then took out her phone and began entertaining herself with it. ”You can shower first.”

”Okay...” I muttered as I gazed at her in order to make sure that she was, in fact, serious about the proposal. However, after I realized that she seemed to be fully engrossed by her phone at the moment, I sighed and complied.

I entered the bathroom and I peeked over at the glass and at Loriana who sat on the waterbed. I was extremely nervous and in addition to that, I felt uneasy about the situation. Although I did relieve myself from the fear of failing the mission Ralus had assigned me since we were already in the lover hotel, but the problem now is making it past the night and into the morning. I have a feeling that it will be a long evening since I wasn't sure if Loriana had taken what I suggested in the wrong way. I hope she didn't. Because then, things will become awkward for the two of us, and we might not be able to go back to our old relationship.

To distract myself, I decided that I would check out the bathroom. The ground was of a dark colored tile and the wall a light brown with a pattern. The lighting in the bathroom seemed quite normal, although being a bit dark, it still illuminated the large bathroom. The toilet appeared shiny and clean underneath the warm lighting provided by the ceiling light above, and then a short distance from that was a large bathtub. Next to that bathtub was a shower head with no barrier preventing the water from splashing elsewhere, which led to my conclusion that the bathroom must be designed with that in mind since the shower was on the far opposite wall of the bathroom that spanned the entire length of the hotel room.

I was baffled by how large the bathroom was. However, once I saw the pack of condoms neatly arranged on a small stand on the bathroom counter, I realized why it was that and blushed. This bathroom is this size because—well—people want to have sex in weird places. This probably is the same reason why the bathtub was so big as well. In fact, it was to the point that two people could lie comfortably within it.

I walked over to the shower first, checking out the body wash, shampoo, and conditioner offered. I realized that those bathing essentials listed were all available in their small, bottled containers. One thing I realized about those were that they were all odorless, meaning that others would not be able to know if you had used a lover hotel.

This...well...is quite considerate of the hotel. Odorless body wash and shampoo...so that no one will know. Quite useful for cheating men and women. Well...the hotel does not discriminate when it comes to business, which I respect.

Once I checked everything, I began proceeding to the next step of my shower process. I walked back to the bathroom counter and took off my hoodie. I neatly folded it and placed it on the small basket provided by the hotel. Then, I stripped myself of my T-shirt, and as I placed it in the basket, I peeked over at Loriana through the glass window, watching her. She seemed to be focused on her phone. However, she noticed me staring and looked up at me, smiling and waving towards me.

I blushed as I was once again reminded of the fact that she could see everything that I do inside the bathroom. Why the hell did they have to design it this way? Well...people do come here for sex, so seeing each other's bodies should not be a big problem...But don't they know that not seeing could often times make things even spicier, like a surprise reveal would've been better, wouldn't it?

I brought both hands to my jeans, reluctant to take them off. I stood there with a bare chest, just merely standing idle there. What I was about to do...well...let's just say I had never done so before in front of Loriana. In fact, Loriana had never seen me in my underwear. Now, things are awkward for me. Like what the heck am I supposed to do now? If I don't shower, then...well...things are gonna be hard to explain to her. What am I supposed to say? I don't want to shower because the wall is see through so you can go ahead? No. That's just absurd.

I took in a deep breath and began to strip myself of my jeans. Now, all that separated me from full nudity was my underwear, which is a pair of boxer briefs. In this sacred war between those who prefer briefs and those who prefer boxers, I survive by staying neutral.

Man, am I a genius.

I smirked as I remained proud of the fact that I am not caught up in that war between those who prefer briefs and those who prefer boxers.

However, now is not the time for me to be proud in that trivial—nah it's not trivial. It's important—fact. I still have to shower. I looked over past the glass wall to make sure that she wasn't looking. However, like that time before, she noticed me staring and looked up. She appeared quite surprised at first since this is the first time she had seen me in my underwear, but she then merely smiled and looked at me.

What? Look at me?
