The following morning, I was awakened by the motel door opening. Initially, I didn't think anything about it. Then, I heard Frank tell my father, "Jeez, look at her. Her body is flawless."
I realized that I had nothing covering me, and they were looking at my naked body. I quickly pulled the blanket over me and told them, "What the fuck, guys. Did you spend the morning staring at me?" I was pissed that my father didn't cover me when he realized I was lying there in plain view. What did he tell Frank, I thought. Frank had to have asked him why I slept nude with him.
My uncle thought everything was a joke as he laughed at my frustration. "No, we didn't spend the morning staring at you. We went out to get coffee and breakfast sandwiches. By the way, we got you a sausage, egg, and cheese because we know it's your favorite. When we came back, you were sprawled out on the bed naked."
I could tell he was annoyed with the way I spoke to him. My head was pounding, probably from drinking whisky, I thought. "Oh, sorry then," I told them. I was attempting to get over my embarrassment when my father handed me a coffee and my sandwich. I sat up, keeping the blanket tucked around me to hide my nudeness. I thanked my father and shot him a look. I don't know how we were going to explain my being nude in the bed we shared. He shrugged his shoulders and gave me a look back. Plus, I knew my uncle. He was not going to let it go.
My father told me, "We're going to be heading out soon. We tried to let you get as much sleep as possible. How long is it going to take you to get ready?"
"I will get dressed as soon as I'm done eating. I just need to find my clothes," the minute I said I needed to find my clothes, I knew my uncle was going to say something. Sometimes, I speak without thinking.
And like clockwork, my uncle asked, "And why do you not know where your clothes are? Jesus, what did I miss out on," he said as he laughed.
I knew I had to clean up the mess my father and I had made. Frank isn't an idiot. He suspected something had happened. Out of nervousness, I decided to make a joke out of it. That's what I always did when I got caught doing something I shouldn't have done. "Well, you shouldn't have slept through everything. You missed a show. I told you that you would regret telling me to sleep on the floor." It was not my best comeback, but I needed to say something.
"Well, Maggie, I owe you an apology. Please feel free to share a bed with me anytime you want moving forward," my uncle said sarcastically.
The fact that he was joking about it meant he wasn't mad at either of us. That meant regardless of his feelings, he wasn't going to say anything to anyone. I was embarrassed, but I was also relieved. I asked, "Do you guys see my clothes anywhere?"
My father threw my shorts on the bed. I put them on under the blanket. When my uncle threw me my shirt, the blanket fell from my upper body as I attempted to catch it. I yelled, "Fuck!" as I grabbed my shirt and pulled the blanket up. I couldn't do anything but laugh at this point.
Frank was not known for leaving a joke unsaid, "No need to be modest at this point."
My father finally spoke, "Give her a break, Frank. She's already having a rough morning. We're going to warm the trucks up while you get ready to leave."
When they left, I got my toiletries from the bathroom and put a pair of sweatpants on with a hoodie. When I got outside, Frank was standing between the trucks. I asked my uncle where my father was.
"He went to return the room key. He'll be back in a minute. Hey, so you know I was playing around with you in there. I hope I didn't hurt your feelings or anything."
I was glad my uncle said this to me. "Thank you, Uncle Frank. Sorry if I was bitchy. It's early in the morning. I'm sure it was weird seeing me like that."
My uncle had a quizzical look on his face. I know he must have been curious about how I ended up naked. Then he asked, "Did you have fun though?"
He was either fishing for information or wondering if I did something I regretted. I knew I needed to be careful with my answer to protect my father. "Yes. I had fun last night, and I'm having fun on this road trip. Can we let it go?" Frank laughed at my answer. I asked, "What? What's so funny? You might as well tell me. I mean, you saw me naked twice. There's no secrets at this point."
"I can let it go, Maggie. But you being naked on the bed is burned into my memory. I don't want that to go. Jeez...Your body looked amazing," Frank told me.
I giggled at his comment. "Well, thank you for the compliment, I guess. I give you permission to keep the memory. Ok?"
"Thanks, I think I will. Any chance we will share a bed on this trip," he asked me with a laugh.
I know he thought my father and I had sex, even though we didn't. Before last night, I never thought they looked at me like a woman. Things were happening fast, and I was getting confused. I felt like I could no longer be my flirty, sarcastic self. "Just to be clear, what you think happened didn't happen. I know how it looked, but that did not happen. I need you to believe me about that."
"So, you two didn't have sex," he asked. Before I could answer, he asked, "But something happened. Just not sex, is what you're saying."
I vaguely said, "We did not have sex," and left it at that. I knew my answer left everything open for interpretation, but it was the best I could do without opening up for more questions.
Finally, my father was walking towards us. "We're all set. Let's hit the road before the traffic picks up."
I got in the truck with my father and immediately asked, "He knows we did something. What are we going to do?"
