VACAY VIBES - Payton Moormeier

Part 4

The day goes by fast. You went on a hike and ate dinner. It was now around 9:30 pm. You were walking back from the toilet to your caravan when it started raining very hard. You slowly continue walking as your anxiety levels rise. Vacation is fun, unless it rains. You can't go anywhere and the tent you sleep in is very small, leaving you claustrophobic. Dry weather makes that easier because you can just walk out if it becomes too much. But with rain you can't.

I can't go anywhere. I'm stuck in this small spot. It's wet everywhere. I don't know what to do. What can I do. F*ck. F*ck. F*ck. F*ck. F*ck! F*CK I'M SCARED

Thoughts rushing through your brain. You haven't reached your caravan yet when you stand still, in the pouring rain. You start crying because you don't know what to do.

I have nowhere to go... I'm stuck here. What could I do- oh I don't know F*CK!!

You start to panic, while crying.

Payton: 'Y/n?' You turn around to face him. His smile disappears once he sees you've been crying. 'Oh no what's wrong?' He walks closer to you and rubs your back.
You: 'I- I- the rain- where could I go I mean- we're stuck-'
Payton: 'You're completely freaking out.' He hugs you, which makes you calm down a little more. You're both still standing in the pouring rain. Wet till your underwear. 'Do you want to go to my tent?' You want to because you know his tent is very big.
You: 'I have to shower.'
Payton: 'Of course. It'll warm you up too.' You nod.

He wraps his arm around your waist, conforming you, as you walk to your caravan together. You tell your mom you're going to shower and that you will go to Payton's tent after. She was a little confused about the "going to Payton's" part since he was a boy, but your wet eyes made her let you go anyway. Payton told her he would be very sweet and caring. You grab your shower supplies and continue your trip to the shower.

Once you arrive you stand still.

Payton: 'I'll just wait here for you to finish. Take your time.' You look at him and start breathing faster by the second.
You: 'I'll panic again.'
Payton: 'I'm sorry but I can't do anything. Showering will make you feel better, I promise.' He rubs your back, slowly pushing you towards the shower.
You: 'You can do something.'
Payton: 'I'd do anything but I really can't do much, I-' He stops talking as he looks at you. You look at him with watering eyes. You're shaking 'Do you want me to join you?' You slowly nod and look down, fear in your eyes about what'll happen if he won't join you.

I'll freak out again and I'll cry again. I don't want to be alone. I don't want to shower alone...

Payton: 'If that's what makes you feel better I will.' You look him in his eyes and softly smile.

He grabs your hand and walks to a shower cabinet. You both get in. Payton puts all of the stuff down. You start to undress yourself after he had locked the door. Payton just stands still. He's confused about what is going on. He keeps looking at you until you're in your bra and underwear. You don't even notice him looking at you, you're way too sad and caught up in the rain situation. He moves his eyes away as you take your bra and underwear off.

You turn on the shower, get under the warm water and turn around facing Payton, but while looking at the ground. He's blushing, looking at you with wide eyes.

Payton: 'You're beautiful.'
You: 'Thank you.' You smile and look up at his face. 'But -um- can you please just come in?' You sigh and look at the ground again. He nods and takes his clothes off fast.

You're now both naked. It's not awkward, it's just comforting because you're out of your mind scared. He steps in the shower with you. You had started crying again because of the tension it had all created. You didn't even care about being naked around Payton. He's been very sweet and caring to you. It just felt as a (really) friendly gesture.

As Payton gets in you look at him and pull him closer into a hug. A much needed, naked hug. You cry on his shoulder as he slowly puts his arms around you. Payton is a bit awkward in this situation. You squeeze your arms tighter around him and breathe in deeply, then sigh.

You pick up the shampoo and close your eyes rubbing it in.

*Payton's POV*

This is the most intense, out of my comfort zone, but cute moment. I don't know why I think it's cute. Her asking me to join her in the shower, that shows she trusts me even after just a day of meeting. That's cute right?!

Looking at her washing her hair is so peaceful. She's calmed down a lot, while my heart is just beating faster and faster looking at her. Am I a weirdo checking out her naked body? Yes. But you'd do the same if a beautiful, naked girl was standing right in front of you.

I could kiss her. I would. But I shouldn't. She just needs someone to calm her down right now. Not someone who's wanting to kiss her.

She opens her eyes and looks at me. Gently smiling.

I shake my head, out of my thoughts and grab the soap. I start washing her back. She grabs my hands as I massage her shoulders and pulls me into a hug from behind. You all know IT touched her. I mentally slap myself. Of course there was nothing I could do about it, it was just there. She chuckles and lets go of my arms. She turned around and looks at me. Our faces really close to each other.

At this moment we could be kissing. But I don't know if she wants to. No Payton, you should not be kissing her right now. Don't.

I take a step back and get out of the shower.

*End POV*

You get out of the shower and grab the towel to dry yourself quickly so Payton can use it as well. You put your pjs on. Payton puts his old clothes on. You haven't said anything in the shower.

You both leave the shower and walk towards Payton's big tent.

You: 'Payton, I'm very thankful for what you did.'
Payton: 'You're welcome. It wasn't that big of a deal. I hope you're at least feeling better.'
You: '"Not that big of a deal". Yeah it was. I asked you to join me in a shower.'
Payton: 'And I did with all my love.' You blush.
