It was a hot day, and Megan was walking home from the gym. Rob had given her the address for his new apartment, and she decided to call in on her way home. It didnât take long to get there, and she was reassured to see his car in his parking spot; it meant he was home.
Walking up the stairs, she found his door, number 7. The front door was open, and through the screen door Megan could see Rob sitting at his computer. She knocked softly, and Rob looked around and saw her. He smiled, and invited her in.
Putting her gym bag down next to the door, she had a look around. It was a new flat, with one large room for living and dining. A balcony jutted from the front of the flat, to her right, and the curtains were open, giving a great view of the nearby lake. She could see the kitchen off to one side, with stainless steel appliances, and to the rear, a hall led off to what she assumed were bedrooms and bath.
Rob got up and gave Megan a long kiss, then said, âYou like it?â
âYeah,â said Megan. âYou want to give me a tour?â
âSure,â replied Rob. Taking her hand, he led her towards the hall. âWell, youâve seen the lounge and kitchen. ThisâŠâ he said, waving a hand towards a door on the right, âis the laundry. Not very interesting, so weâll skip that. This door on the left is the second bedroom.â He opened the door, and Megan saw an average sized room, but it had built-in cupboards and its own small balcony at the rear, looking towards the city. The door opposite the bedroom turned out to be the bathroom. It was almost the size of the second bedroom, and boasted a huge glass-enclosed shower, as well as a corner spa. Rob opened a second door in the bathroom wall to her left, and led Megan through to the master bedroom, which was huge, and also included its own balcony.
âVery nice,â Megan said.
âIt is, isnât it? I was lucky to get this place,â Rob replied. âHey, I was just going to watch a video I got today. Want to watch it with me?â
âSure,â said Megan, then she hesitated. âActually, would it be alright if I used your shower first? I was at the gym before coming here, and Iâd love to freshen up a bit.â
Rob agreed, and got her a towel from the linen closet. Megan went to have her shower, and Rob poured himself a glass of Coke.
He headed up the hall to his bedroom, but paused at the door to the bathroom. Megan had left the door open, and he could see her, standing under the stream of hot water, with her back to him. She stood with her legs slightly apart, and was busy washing herself.
