We walked down the hall to the bathroom and took a long, sensuous shower. We went to bed and held each other close. We talked quietly for a few minute...s, a conversation interspersed with a lot of gentle kisses.Before we drifted off to sleep I reset my alarm to give us both time to get ready in the morning. We curled up together and once again we spent a little time getting to know each other better.We found that we share a lot of important views. We already learned that we lean in the same. I was waiting in the reception area for a good ten minutes, feeling very edgy and a little apprehensive when I heard my name called.I made my way up to the surgery and for some reason I looked at my watch, it was 12:10pm, dinner time. That would explain the dentists I could see were leaving. I knocked on the door and there stood my dentist, Mahmood, an Asian guy, about 35, 5’8”, slim build, black hair, he was waiting for me, he understood my feelings.As I walked in his assistant said to him. The name sounded like you were saying it with your mouth full."We really need you," Donna pleaded as she licked her fingers."I'll think about it."She pounced. "Come to practice on Thursday!" I have swimming, a team meeting." I was clutching at straws."But you're a diver," she reminded me. "And the swimming season doesn't start until after Thanksgiving. And you know that meeting'll just be organizational."I wanted to escape before I said something stupid -- like "okay" -- so I started packing. She had just finished shampooing his hair and was trying to clean it up using a washcloth. She wet the cloth, got up as much suds as she could, rinsed off and repeated. It was going to take forever.I had a coffee cup in my room from this morning. I took it in to Sam and picked up the bucket. I was able to hold the bucket under his head while she poured water on his head, wiping it off with her other hand. Being in an easy chair and a cast made it difficult, but we finally got him rinsed off..
