I was just sitting back and trying to think of some inspiration for my next story, when this memory flew into my consciousness. Before I knew it, the whole episode was saved onto my laptop. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did at the time, Reader!

The water ran like fire down my face as I thrust my head into the full force of the shower. Blasting off the fuzziness of the night the water cleared my head and I wondered what time it must be. Four? Five maybe, we'd stopped off for food on the way back from Blazer's. My feet ached from wearing heels for so long.
Eyes screwed tightly against the wet heat, I twisted round and reached for the shelf where the shampoo should be. My arms waved wildly, meeting steamy air where normally the plastic bottle would be waiting. Cold hardness was pressed onto my waist and I thrashed about, the water making me splutter as I reeled and blinked, trying furiously to see what had assaulted my skin.
A giggle and a click, the door to the wetroom being pulled tight.
The coldness again, and my sight returned.
Sue laughed as she took the shampoo bottle away from my waist. Uncapping the bottle she poured the pearlescent shampoo, and it pooled into one of her small palms. Returning the bottle to its rightful place, she rubbed the goo between her hands and beckoned me to spin so that she could wash my hair.
My long black tresses were soon being foamed into a frothy lather around my shoulders. Sue worked the foam into my scalp; her fingers pressing into my head. The vodka coursing through my bloodstream made its presence known as she squeezed the foam into the roots of my hair, a wooziness making me feel dizzy. I closed my eyes and let her wash away the traces of cigarette smoke. The vile stuff always clung to my hair after a night out. Why was it that the best places to spend the night dancing also housed the thickest smog clouds?
My thoughts returned from their alcohol-fuelled reverie as Sue pressed herself against me, forcing me to step back and into the stream of water. I closed my eyes and felt the warmth sliding down my shoulders, my hair falling back between my shoulder blades and down to my waist as it released the fragrant foam to the water. Her hands pulled my hair back and rinsed the last of the soap from it.
"You always close your eyes when you're under the shower. Yyou remind me of a wet mole!" Sue's voice reverberated slightly against the steam and tiles as I heard a click, the lid of the conditioner. She manhandled my head away from the jet and began to run the cold fluid onto my head.
"I hate water in my eyes, I always have. The kids at school used to laugh because I wouldn't put my head under the water in swimming class," I replied. "Besides, its all the more reason for you to run me a bath instead. It's much more relaxing."
"Yes, but then I don't get to sneak up on you!" she giggled again as she reached behind me and pressed the bottle of conditioner into the soft curve of my lower back. I fought the urge to squeal, remaining statuesque as I heard her put the bottle back. She massaged my head. I imagined her behind me, teetering on tiptoes to coat my raven hair in the slick pink liquid. "And I think you look cute like that, moley."
I grimaced. Sue always came up with the cutest pet names, which she then relished to call me while we were out in town.
"Moley now? You know, it's hard keeping up a Goth appearance when your girlfriend calls you Snugglebum in front of the bartender. Can't you think of something less saccharine?"
"Nope, sorry Snuggles, I can't be anything but honest. It is snugly."
She grabbed me by the buttocks and swivelled us gently, taking her turn under the water. Her golden hair glistened as it began to soak up the water, a vivid contrast against the blue tiling. Eyes wide open, she reached for the shampoo and lathered up as I stood and admired her. Her lids were flashed with peacock blue, a deep green lapped along the underside on the outer edges and thick black mascara outlined the largest, most sparkling pair of ice blues I'd ever seen.
As she finished lathering her hair, I passed her the facial wash, it's neat little tube snapping open and I squeezed a dollop into her hand. Black nail polish, small fingers. My girl's hands matched my own except for their petite size.
Closing her eyes, Sue brought her hands to her face and delicately circled the cleanser, bringing off the rainbow colours into a muddy sludge. Mascara rivulets coursed down her slender neck and poured like the river Styx before vanishing in the floodwater of the main jet pounding along her form.
For a moment I thought her the perfect crying angel.
I saw my chance. I took it.
I grabbed the shower gel and whisked the clip top to the side. Pointing it at her chest, I gave it a hard squeeze. An instantaneous rope of pale blue translucent goo emerged from its top and splattered against her chest, just under her left collarbone, and trailed itself down along her breast. The goo kept flowing as I did my best to empty the bottle between her glorious cleavage and down onto her belly. Sue squealed, jumping as if I had connected her up to the mains.
Shampoo, face wash and blue shower gel ran down her body and into the puddle of foam at her feet. Her eyes clenched tightly against the soap. She bent and forced her hands forwards to fend off her attacker. I dropped the shower gel bottle into the rapids below.
Grabbing her wrists neatly and bundling them into one hand, I brushed the soap from her eyes and rinsed my fingers under the water and rubbed again, making sure that her blues were free from soap. The cold shower gel mess pressed against my belly and right bosom, and I was reminded how much taller than my elfin partner I was.
"Now who's the mole, moley," I breathed into her ear.
"OK, OK, you win Snugglebum."
I shook my head, the cooling wet hair waving along my back and I spun her to the side, squishing us both in to share the warmth of the water. "You look even cuter when you're surprised, honey." I met her gaze and grinned as she broke into a smile. "Now come here and finish getting washed up."
As Sue took to rinsing off the remnant of shampoo and cleanser, I made the most of having her midriff to myself. Her breasts rounded as her hands were lifted to drag through her hair. Nipples raised, tempting me to nibble. If it weren't for the threat of a mouthful of soap...I almost regretted my choice of ammunition. Still, easily remedied. My hands ran up the soapy-slick sides of her ribcage and converged on her globes, my thumbs pressing gently into that softest of flesh beneath her nipples. I cupped round the outside of each sizeable mass and slid over, my fingertips pulling her flesh towards me. The gel slid between my palms and her breasts as I massaged them lovingly.
Perhaps a little too lovingly.
"Babe," she said, giggling. "I'm fairly sure my tits aren't that dirty."
I loved her breasts, far too big for the rest of her torso. She was a true hourglass, emphasized by years of corset wearing. I let my hands drop to her waist and pulled her as close as I could.
Her eyes opened as she leant in, gazing up at me. We were day and night, her blond hair to my black, those topaz blues far outshining my deep chocolate-dark brown ones.
The water continued to pour, slithering along our joined bodies, keeping us just warm enough to languish. Sue pulled the last of the water from her hair and tilted herself away from the splashing torrent. Our bellies and breasts slithered too, the gel still thick on her breasts. Gently she pushed me away and leant my back against the tiles. The shower head angled over her back now and I imagined the stream snaking its way between her buttocks.
Leaning downwards my lips found hers as she pressed against my slippery skin. She tasted of sweet cola, her breath warm and sugary. My hands splashed in the water, coiled again around her waist. Kissing a woman, this woman, was always so different to kissing a man. Sue responded to my insistent pressure by writhing her tongue against my lower lip and into my mouth hungrily. There was never any hurry in her kisses yet somehow they made me feel her urgency. I drew a finger along her cheekbone, feeling down to her jaw line. Cradling her head in both hands, I kissed her deeply, my fingers fanning out into her wet hair and along the back of her neck.
Her hips pushed against me involuntarily, my ownership of her head and the kiss turning her on in a way that she found irresistible. At a full eight inches taller than her, I couldn't help but take the more masterful role in our partnership. When I met Sue for the first time, it was as model and photographer. She placed an ad in a magazine we both read, for young "alternative" models for her derelict building shots. She needed someone, male or female, who wouldn't object to a bit of law-bending, breaking into sites for her photo shoots and also involving nudity. I'd never done anything like that before. I wasn't a natural exhibitionist, but I thought her ideas sounded interesting.
