The warm water of the shower rained down on my head and washed over my body. I just stood there, kind of in my own cone of silence, trying to get my head around the business of the day. There was work to do, but oh, how I wanted to just get back in bed with Rebecca. A little nap, a little nookie.
Nookie, I thought. There's a word you don't hear much anymore. Too bad. It fits right in with the nap.
Nap and Nookie. Nookie and Nap. It sounds so darn playful. Fun. Milk and Nookie. Nookie and cream.
Vanilla Nookie. Chocolate Nookie.
Okay. Too many times listening to George Carlin in my teens. Time to get focused. Breakfast meeting at
7:30. First presentation at 9. Then the shower curtain opened.
"Hey water boy!" Rebecca stuck her head in. "It's been 10 minutes already. When do I get my turn?"
Ten minutes in the shower and nothing to show for it.
"Well, I've been a bit distracted," I said. "I haven't even washed up. Just standing here trying to think about the day ahead but for some reason my mind keeps wandering."
Rebecca flashed a big, beautiful grin. "Ah," she said. "I hope that reason is me. Me... and us. Me and us and last night."
"That. And how much I'd prefer just spending the morning in bed with you."
"Can't do that," she replied. "Too many people counting on you showing up this morning. How about I join you in here and we can talk about what's on your mind."
Rebecca pulled the shower curtain open more and I was once again taken aback by her beauty. Every time I saw her, she just got more beautiful. Her brown hair was still pulled back in a ponytail. Her round face made her look younger than she was. Her brown eyes were bright and happily soaking up the image of my wet, naked body. Her big smile, full of perfectly aligned teeth, coupled with her high cheekbones brought a sense of sheer joy to her being.
This was my first look at her standing naked in the light. She wasn't big. She wasn't petite. She was almost perfectly proportioned. It was the hourglass look, though she was a bit thinner in the hips than across the shoulders. And as I noticed before, her breasts were full and round. The highlight, of course, were her nipples, again at attention, again pointing slightly upward. She was a beautiful young woman, though probably a bit older than she appeared.
Rebecca stepped into the shower, pulled the curtain closed, and grabbed a washcloth. As she soaped it up, she asked what I was thinking about.
"Nookie," I replied.
"Nookie?"
"Yeah, it's a fun word."
"And one with many meanings. What's your definition of Nookie?"
I thought about that for a moment. "70s version," I said. "My generation. Fun, playful sex. How about you?"
Rebecca looked surprised. "You that old?" she asked.
"Ancient," I replied.
