I started up the water for my bath when I heard the knock at the door. It was Troy.
"Um, hi, I know this is unexpected, but... just thought I'd drop by... I had a call for the place just downstairs, just... thought I'd drop by..." He looked a bit lost, so I took pity and let him in, trying to bite back my annoyance. I had planned for a nice, relaxing night of no interruptions, finally some time to myself. All week had been one long social affair, and I was a bit tired of being with people. But Troy was a nice boy, and hopefully he would only stay for a short while. I showed him in, still feeling a bit resentful. I couldn't help but want to make him feel a LITTLE bad, make him realize he was interrupting things.
"I was just looking forward to a nice bath."
"Oh! I'm sorry! Um."
I sighed. I really do like the boy, his attractive features melted me every time he smiled. "No, it's all right. I suppose it's rude for the hostess to take a bath while she has a guest?" I joked.
Troy, however, was all seriousness when he answered, "Not unless the guest can watch."
