The day after my 18th birthday was a Friday. After basketball practice, I was exhausted. I went home, and ran myself a warm bath to soothe my sore legs. My Stepmom was the only one home besides myself. My dad had left for India on a business trip earlier in the week. He had just gotten married to my new Stepmom, but this trip was important for his business. He felt it was necessary to leave the two of us alone.
After letting the water run for a few minutes, I turned it off and sat in the bath slowly, trying not to groan from my aching limbs. The water was warm, and I closed my eyes in peace. I must have fallen asleep and several minutes later my Stepmom came in with a towel wrapped tightly around her.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were in here. I'll get out of here." She said sympathetically.
"No don't worry about it I was about to get out anyway." I replied, even though I had no intention of leaving the tub for quite a while.
I began to slowly lift myself up out of the water as my Stepmom watched. I thought that she would look away, but she kept watching.
