My friend Anna invited me to go to her father's cabin on Saltspring Island BC for the week and my mom said okay cause she trusted Tom, Anna's father.
It is a beautiful place that is really a house with a wonderful view of this passage where the ferry goes between Swartz Bay and Tsawassen. There are other places around, but it is kind of isolated.
The first couple of days Anna and I would sunbathe and then sit and talk at night with Tom. On Wednesday her mom showed up while I had taken my bike to town for some things and she and Tom had a ferocious row. She and Anna left and when I got back Tom explained to me that he still had work to do on the place and I would be stuck with him for four more days. We got on okay and we got to be really friendly and we talked about a lot of relationship things.
Saturday night before we were supposed to leave to go home I was taking a shower and Tom just walks in behind me and says he needs to get cleaned up before the hot water runs out. I freaked and told him to get out and he told me to calm down and that it was no problem. I had never seen a guy naked before and it was a shock to see Tom all of a sudden like that. I still said that this was not a good idea and he just laughed and reached for the soap and says its easier to shower when you have help.
