Chapter 49 - best memories

— STEPHANIES POV —

I run the bath at full heat, the hot steam devours my face as I add bubbles. I wrap my fluffy pink bathrobe around me tightly as I adjust the temperature of the running water slightly. I brush my hand through the almost filled bath tub, forming ripples underneath the thick layer of bubbles.

Once the bubbles almost overflow, I turn off the water quickly, leaving only a few slight drops of water echoing in the room. I test the water with my hand, dipping my hand in the soothingly warm water. Once I'm reassured that the water is at a perfect temperature, I dip my toes in carefully until my entire body is engulfed by the water.

I sit silently in the bath as the bubbles reach al way up to my neck. This feels so familiar to me, this feeling. I rack my brain in hope I can remember, that's when everything's comes flooding back into my mind. Memories of what we did each night of summer fills them.

• STEPHANIES FLASHBACK •

I continue running the bath as Michelle leans over my shoulder, kissing my neck softly as I test the water, her long bathrobe brushes gently against my leg. The water is eventually a perfect temperature. Me and Michelle pull off our bathrobes in sync as we giggle.

I hop into the bath carefully, squashing myself as far across as possible to make room for Michelle. She ties her hair up into a messy bun as she steps into the bath beside me. Once we're both situated, Michelle wraps her legs around me tightly.

Small strands of her long hair hang down, resting on my defined collarbone. She's pressed her lips against me as she tightly grips my hair. I lightly shut my eyes as her strawberry scented lips become one with mine.

I reposition myself so that my back is facing Michelle. I lean back into her chest as she massages my shoulder soothingly, pecking at my cheek carefully. I let out a quiet moan as she continues to massage me, it feels amazing.

I lean back up, spinning myself back towards Michelle as I press my head against her grinning. We both grab a large handful of shampoo in our cupped hands and begin bathing each other. I comb my way through her smooth light hair, the soap masking her blonde over completely.

"I love you." She whispers, continuing to massage my head with the shampoo.
"I'll always love you." I respond instantly, cupping my hands with water as I pour it over her head to get rid of the shampoo.

Michelle does the same, pouring small portions of warm water over my head as she kisses my neck lightly. She wraps her limbs around my body tightly, submerging us underwater together.

Usually, I don't like being underwater whatsoever, but I feel safe in Michelle's arms. She wraps her arms around my head, pulling our faces together slightly, trying to hold her breath. Her hair flows in my face as she cuddles me tightly.

We come up to the surface for breath, panting as we gasp for air throughout laughter. I unplug the black plug, throwing to the side as we watch the water get sucked away.

Hand in hand, we step out of the bath and onto the cold tiles. We dry ourselves down with a scratchy towel and sneak off into Michelle's room. I collapse on her bed in a heap as the bubbles from my hair soak into her sheets. She gently lies firefly on top of me and begins kissing at my lips. I clutch her hair tightly as she carries on kissing.

We yawn briefly in sync, smiling into each others eyes deeply.
"Shall we get some rest." I whisper throughout my yawn.
"For sure." She responds.

We bury ourselves under the covers, cuddling tightly as we stroke one and others damp long hair. I uncomfortably kiss her soft lips, leaving them there to rest. I watch as Michelle's eyes close tightly, her lips pressing together gently.
"I love you baby." I whisper "night."
"I love you too." She softly responds, right before drifting off in my arms, her heart beating in mine as she comfortably cuddled up to me as our lips stay in contact.
