The air was cool as Ms. Shay dropped us off in front of the hotel. It was dark by this time and the street lights turned everything an amber hue. Today had been a roller-coaster, not to say that day prior hadn't been either. At this point all I could think about was crawling even literally into bed.
I started for the door as Ms. Shay left view, but was stopped when I found myself alone. Ms. Laura was standing by the curb still. She glared at me with a half grin. Suddenly I realized my day wasn't over.
"Johnny, where are you going?" she said as she started to around the hotel.
"The room?" my words trailed off as she disappeared.
I had to run to catch up finding her around the corner. She was inserting her key card into the locked gate guarding the hotel's pool. As she entered I noticed the pool area was dark. The building blocked most of the lights from the streets. I should have known better than to ask.
"Ma'am, what are you doing?" I followed her in through the gate and to one of the deck chairs.
"Can you swim Johnny?" she asked throwing her things on the chair.
"Yes," I answered knowing I was about to get an answer to my question, "but I don't have my swim suit."
I knew I didn't need one as I knew where she was going with this. She started to strip out of her cloths and only pause to glare at me. I knew what she wanted and quickly began to strip too. My heart was racing. I had never done anything like this and my head was filled with thought of what would happen if we got caught.
As I pulled my shirt over then off my head I looked over at Ms. Laura and froze. I had done many things with her, but it was the first time I truly saw her naked. My fears rushed out of my body along with my breath.
She was almost pale, her skin was flawless, and every curve seemed to be perfect. I couldn't take my eyes off her. Her ample breast hung lower showing her age, but still held some perk. Her small pink nipple stuck out in the chilly air and in anticipation of the cold water.
I finished getting naked as she ran passed and dove head first into the water.
She surfaced, "what are you standing around for?"
I woke from my lustful stoop suddenly I remembered I was standing naked on the deck of a public pool. I quickly edged over to the water then jumped in. The cold hit me like a wall and tensed up to keep warm. Surfacing a moment later I found the surface of the water a still black. Without lights everything under the surface wasn't visible.
Ms. Laura was a few feet away smiling, "cold?"
I looked at her and nodded my teeth were starting to chatter and I hugged my body to keep warm. She slowly paddled over and grabbed the side.
"You need to move around to warm up," she leaned her head back soaking her hair then tucking it behind her ears, "let's do a few laps and you'll see."
She kicked off and started to back stroke her way to the other side. As she did her face caught the light from one of the windows and I could see it clearly. Her makeup was washed away and hair matted down by the water she again looked old.
This duality in her appearance confounded me. Why was this so hard? This was the same woman only in different light. She was the same woman that I had confided in for years and lusted after only a few hours ago. Yet the same one I dreaded to be seen with. She was like my dark side. Like a piece of me that I couldn't remove yet so terrible I had to hide it.
She started back after touching the other end of the pool. I remained in one spot still cold. She swam up touching the wall next to me, then gracefully sinking her legs. The light no longer on her face her smile brightened the shadow.
"You haven't moved," still gripping the wall with one hand she wrapped her legs around me, "let me warm you up."
She pulled me in and I grabbed the wall as she squeezed tighter. Suddenly I felt warm. Her smooth soft skin hugged mine and I was no longer cold. She pulled me in closer and her arm wrapped around me. As she did she moved her face closer.
I realized what she was about to do. She was going to kiss me. I didn't know what to do. Her lips got closer and I closed my eyes. Them I felt her breath on my mouth and hover there.
"What's wrong?" she lingered before her voice lit up, "is this your first kiss?"
I didn't know what to say. Opening my eyes I just stared at her blankly.
