I got the worst sun burn once, good thing I had some help to relieve it.
We spent the afternoon at the beach. I spent most of the day under the sun working on a tan and my friend Carrie under the shade nearby. We had just met at the movies a few weeks earlier, but both of us alone for the time being. I had just been dumped by my boyfriend and Carrie was going by herself. We ended up talking and the friendship clicked. As we drove home, Carrie sang along to the radio and my eyes kept focusing on her rather than on the road, nearly had a wreck more than once.
The both of us were having fun and enjoyed the company. It was nice to have someone to talk to, to do things with. Any way back to it...I drove back to my apartment. When we got in the cool apartment, suddenly the slight sunburn I had felt worse. Carrie hopped into the shower. I took my suit off from under my clothes and got dressed. Carrie came back out in a large button up shirt and undies. I was sitting on the couch trying to conceal the pained look on my face. "What's wrong with you?" Carrie asked. I tried a smile, "just a sunburn, they get me every time"
Carrie went to the cabinet and brought back some aloe. I lifted my shirt. Carrie laughed. "You're dying of a sunburn but you put your bra back on isn't that making it worse? And besides, since when do you wear a bra anyway?" Not really having an answer I just shrugged. "Take off your shirt and bra, the air on your skin will help" I did as told and took off my shirt and bra. I then laid down on the couch, causing the burn on my stomach to awaken. Carrie kneeled beside the couch on the floor and started to rub in the aloe, her cold hands felt good on my burning skin. She let the aloe sink in and sat with her back against the couch.
She turned to look at me. "I really do appreciate you girl." I said out of the side of my mouth. "Love you too, babe" said Carrie. She reached out and pushed a strand of my hair behind my ear. She then leaned forward and kissed me on the cheek. I loved that we were so close, the fact that we could do anything together and be comfortable was great. Carrie said "all that fresh air knocked me out, would it be all right if I take a nap?"
