I woke up the next morning to find Joseph setting up his cameras. I tried to get up, but the soreness on my abdomen was too much for me to be able to stand. I tried to curl back in bed, the aching didn't go. I could hear him laugh and I asked, "What's so funny?". He responded, "Looks like someone enjoyed themselves last night... Need some help?". I tried to get up on my own again to spite him but I ended up falling off the bed and landing on the blankets and pillows from yesterday night on the floor. I say, "Looks like someone didn't clean up last night". He laughs and says, "You got me there. Why don't we shower together today?".

Heat rises to my cheeks and I say "Okay" without thinking. He walks over to me and carries me bridal style over to the bathroom, he smiles and says "It's a good thing you didn't sleep with any clothes on". I feel my face get flushed as Joseph sets me down in the bathtub already full of water. I watch him remove his underwear and he gets inside the bathtub with me. We both sit at opposite corners and we both sit there in silence. Joseph initiates the first move and says, "Come here I'll help you wash yourself". I pause for a moment and say "I can do it myself, but alright". He puts his hand over his chest in a dramatic way and scoffs, "I know you can. I was just trying to do something romantic for you". I laugh and say "Well we don't have much time left until breakfast". As Joseph scrubs my back helping me clean myself I feel a slight discomfort when he washes by my neck.

Joseph finishes and says "I'm all done, If you'd like you can get changed now". I give him a dramatic hand to the chest and say, "How impolite! I was about to offer something very romantic for you and here you are suggesting I leave at once". Joseph laughs and says "Dramatic aren't you? I guess I'll allow you to stay". We both laugh and I say, "Come here let me wash you". Joseph turned around and I scrubbed his back making sure to be very gentle. I lightly brush over my fingers on his skin to provoke him, he shudders with every light touch. I laugh and say "Turn around I need to wash your other side".

Joseph turns around and I begin to wash his chest, slightly touching him more as I reach his lap. He carefully moved my hands aside and said "We'll continue this later...After all we need to get out! Look at how wrinkly we are, we've been here too long!". We both laugh and he gets up, grabbing a fluffy towel and he sets it on the toilet. He helps me stand and he begins to dry me quickly. Once he finishes drying me, he wraps the towel around me and carries me bridal style to the bed. He sets me sitting upright and begins to look through his drawers.

He grabs one of his shirts and my undergarments as well as my pajama bottoms. He says, "Lift your hands up...I'll put the clothes on you". I lift up my hands and he puts on my bra, before clasping it shut he plants a kiss on my neck. I get goosebumps and he laughs as he is putting on my shirt. He slips on my underwear and pajama bottoms and I was ready to go have breakfast. Joseph scoops me up and I ask, "Wait! What are you doing!?". He smirks and says "Well what did you expect? Force you to walk? Never". I laugh and say "Well then, carry me to the dining room".

He ended up carrying me to the dining room and nobody was there yet. Joseph sets me down and I try to use the counter in the kitchen as support. Joseph laughed as I was trying to stand. I looked over to Joseph who was serving breakfast for the both of us, somehow my gaze kept looking over to Joseph's...nether region. Joseph looks over to me and asks, "How cute, are you thinking of last night?". I feel heat rise to my cheeks and I quickly look away and say, "You must be imagining things". He laughs and hands me my plate and says, "I'll walk out first and check if there's anyone else here, I'll come back for you".

I walk into the dining room and hear the voices of two people inside the kitchen. I hear a male voice say "Are you thinking of last night?". I pause and press my ear up to the door to hear better, a female voice says "You must be imagining things". I feel my heart sink to my stomach as I recognize the voice. Something must be going on between her...and someone else. I hear the man say he was going to walk out first and I quickly walk over to the dining room, pretending I was just walking in.
