Chapter 5 "trust"

Tina's POV
I head to my bathroom where I have a hot tub alongside a shower. It's easier to use the tub so I just went with that option.

"Cold or hot water," I ask as I watch him enter the room.

I pulled out his hair which took over an hour, I'm sure even with my absent time checking. All the joints in my arms and fingers hurt like hell at this point. I soak my hands in some ice for a little and he tries his best to convince me that if it's too much I don't have to do it. He has way more hair than I do but I'm close to positive that it's easier to handle than mine.

"Cold," he says and removes his shirt. What was the point of him taking the shirt off? Is he trying to flex right now? My eyes trail over his naked upper body. I laugh to myself and he takes notice.

"What's the problem?" he questions and walks over to the stool placed at the front of the tub.

"Nothing," I responded, unable to get the lingering smile off my face.

"Sure," he says and folds his arms as a form of saying "I'm not stupid."

"Just wondering what you doing cause mi nuh know if a flexing yuh call dat," I laugh and he flips me off.

"Yuh can do betta?" he asks with folded arms. I'm sure I could but do I want to do that right now? No not really...

"I'm not proving anything to you. Come and sit and rest your head on the tub," I instruct and he follows like a puppy. I find myself being really nervous when I'm around him. I'm afraid of screwing up and potentially hurting him or accidentally making his day bad or worse.

"Tell me if I'm hurting you, cool?" I ask as I turn the water on. It's freezing cold because that's what he asked for.

"Cool," he agrees and I smile.

I'm not inexperienced because it's always just been me and my mother so I had to learn how to do basic stuff like this on my own. She always made sure I knew the bare minimum to survival.

His hair is really easy to deal with even though it's so long. As my fingers caress his scalp I take the time out to just enjoy the beautiful sound of running water and silence. Aldaine is fast asleep and shows no sign of waking up till tomorrow.

"Yuh hand dem nuh tired?" he asks in a quite puzzled tone of voice.

"No actually," I say in response to his question.

A few moments later I'm finished conditioning and combing out his hair. Then I gave him a towel to wrap around it and he proceeded to just take a shower at the same time.

"Just a guh wull a fresh meanwhile and den mek yuh do yuh ting afta," he says.

"Alright,"

He removes his pants and wraps a towel around his waist. His head is now wrapped with another towel. I leave the room to give him some privacy.

"Bomboclaat!" he shouts and I run back into the bathroom without hesitation. Forget privacy right now.

"Yuh good?" I ask in a panicked state.

What the hell happened?

"A boil yah try boil mi my girl," he winced and I couldn't help but chuckle.

"What's with women and this blasted hot water man?" he murmurs and I laugh. For a split moment I forgot he's naked.

"You're over exaggerating, it's not all that hot. Turn down the water heater if you'd like," I tell him and he scoffs.

"It look like yuh lose yuh damn mind, weh yuh mean it nuh hot. Mi swear mi meet mi maker nuh too long to rass. Mi could a mek tea wid dis to shit," he curses and once again I'm laughing at his overdramatic behavior.
