Of Roadways and Relationships
Jack
I woke up in the morning
to the sound of Justin
showering. I groaned as
I woke up. Memory
reminded me that I was
in a motel room. It
was quiet for the most
part this morning.
The sound of running
water stopped. I
heard Justin get out of
the shower, and a few
moments later, he stepped
out in nothing but the
towel around his waist.
I realized he had a
very nice body, actually.
He was kind of built.
His muscles were defined,
so I guess he was
working in mostly hard
labor. His hair was still
dripping with water.
Good morning, sun-
shine. I see you're
awake now. He smiled.
He was really at
ease with being half
naked. It surprised
me a lot to find this out.
"Oh, um... Hi." I felt
embarrassed to say
the least right now.
For some reason, I
wanted to blush upon
seeing this guy that
I barely knew without
almost anything on.
I hadn't really felt like
this before, but I
supposed it wasn't
all that strange of me.
I just needed to
get my clothes
and then we can
get back on
the road to Austin.
Justin beamed
a big smile at me
before he got
his clothes and
went back into
the bathroom.
I got changed
as well and
as soon as he
got out, we took
the keys back
to the main
office, and we
got back on
the road again.
I started thinking
about what I
was going to do
when I got
into Austin and
where I would
go from there,
but Justin ended
up clouding up
my thoughts. I
couldn't think of
a single other
thing, not even a
little bit.
