Stranded

V

Soft.

Squishy.

I take a whiff.

Smells good too.

I squish the thing I'm holding a little more.

"Hmm."

A moan?

Uh oh.

I opened my eyes and looked to where my hands were. My eyes bulged open. I quickly removed my hand from where it was. I was sleeping in Lisa's arm.

How did she even get undressed? Does this girl always go commando with her bra? Or at least a shirt?
When did we even get this close, during the night?

Lisa stirred.

I shut my eyes closed.

"Jen-nie?"

I hear her say.

Lisa slowly pulled my arm off her stomach and got off the bed. I lay still to avoid embarrassment. I basically harassed her in her sleep.

I hear clothes rustling and the flap for our front door-

I just said 'our' front door.

What am I thinking.

I slightly opened my eyes to make sure Lisa was gone, as the coast cleared. I let out a huge sigh. I don't know if it's a relief or out of frustration.

I hit myself on the head and immediately pretend to fall sleep when Lisa came back in.

Some more rustling and Lisa left again.

Finally?

Am I relieved though, I don't know where I'm stranded, I fondled with some boobs while the person was asleep, for all I know, she's preparing to cook me tonight.

I got up and looked around the room. Really neat for someone who was covered in dirt just last night. The walls or the whole house is made of strips of bamboo. The roof with dried banana leaves.

I left the house and went in search for my undergarments, still where I had left them last night. I grabbed them off the line and started to strip.

I hear a stick crunched.

"Jen-nie, sho-wer, sand, water, be-ach."

Lisa was reciting the words I taught her and put a smile to my face.

"Lisa I'm here, don't come in."

"Jen-nie?"

She called out, and apparently didn't understand of what I asked because she barged in the shower room. Instead of pushing her away like last time, I just covered myself.

"Jen-So-rry." Lisa said and turned around to walk out.

I quickly get changed and went out. Lisa was crouched down with buckets on both her sides.

"You can go in now, what are you doing?"

"Sho-wer." She carried the buckets in her hand and filled the tub.

"Can I help?"

Lisa stared at me with no expression and pointed to my feet.

"I'm okay, see?" I wiggled my ankle and toes.

She laughed. I stared up at her, Lisa nodded and handed me a bucket.

We walked a few meters from her house and stopped in front of a Well. Lisa rotated a handle to pull up the bucket and dumped it into ours.

I said our again.

I shake the feeling off and carried the bucket.

-----

Lisa showed me around her place and now I see the electrical wires running on the walls of her house, that's how her shower is warmed. It's all connected to solar panels, with her looks last night, I wouldn't think she has anything in modern living style.

If she has all these things.

"Lisa, do you have a phone?" I motioned a telephone with my hand. 🤙

"Ah." Lisa motioned back and rummaged through her bag.

A flip phone.

Well it's better than nothing at all.

No service. Good for nothing flip phone.

"Market."

Lisa says and gestured towards the phone.

"Market?"

"Talk?" She gestured towards the phone again.

I guess the market is where I can use the phone.

"Okay," I smile, "thank you."

Lisa smiled back.
