My brother quickly straightened up and hugged me for a few seconds as he whispered into my ear, "That was close..." He playfully smiled and turned around.
"Yes darling, the beds are ready. Tami helped me out and we were done in no time."
"That's great! Thank you dear," she said looking at me.
I smiled and nodded my head as I headed to the door. Before leaving I asked my sister in law, "Would you mind lending me a towel? I really want to take a shower."
"No problem, follow me dear."
I looked back at my brother as we left the room. She opened a small door located on the side of the corridor and handed me a deep red colored towel which had a soft texture and was very big in size. She noticed my confused expression and said laughing, "Haha, you know how big your brother is, that's why towels need to be huge as well."
I giggled a little and agreed with her.
"Where are my mom and my sisters?" I asked her.
"They're downstairs watching a movie. You can join them when you're done."
"I will, thank you."
My sister in law then led me to the bathroom which had black and white decorations. It felt very sophisticated even though it wasn't too big. She explained me how to use the shower handles and left with a smile on her face.
I opened the hot water and while it warmed up I got undressed. First, I took off my black sweater, followed by my white shirt, my black brassier, and I dropped my flannel skirt on the floor. I then pulled down my black panties. Lastly, I stepped out of my shoes.
Before getting into the water, I tied up my hair into a bun. I stepped in the shower and the water felt marvelous running down my skin. The combination of a cold night with a nice hot shower was priceless.
I began to wash up myself, scrubbing every inch of my body. Suddenly, the sound of a closing door startled me. I grabbed the shower curtain only to peek through the side of it. Gonzalo was standing there, leaning against the door, and looking what seemed directly at me.
I froze for a couple of seconds and could barely make out his face because of the water vapor. A smile began to appear on my face and I uncovered my body a little bit more by moving the curtain further to the side.
