Against All Odds: MewGulf

Chapter 2

It was the following day at night when Gulf's parents tried the hot spring and enjoyed it. They had a relaxed alone time in the springs that they thought Gulf would enjoy it too. They came back and knocked on Gulf's door. He opened the door sleepily

"You are sleeping already? Are you not feeling well?"

Gulf wanted to say yes but ended up saying no. It was not good to lie at the parents.

"No, I'm just tired."

"Well go ahead and try the hot springs. Not many people are there you'll enjoy it I promise. It will make you relax"

"No thank you."

"Son it's not good to stay cooped in your room when we came here to have some fun."

"But Pa"

"If you continue that way, I'm taking your phone."

"Where is the hot spring?"

"Get a map from the lobby and go. I promise you will have a good time."

Gulf left his room a few hours later to look for the hot springs. He went to the elevator and on it was a map of the building. He squinted his eyes as he took a look at the tiny letters written in the paper.

He saw the hot springs and started his journey with his headphones on his head.

He went into the elevator and stopped on the ground floor. He slowly looked around and saw a gym. That took his attention. He had never gone to the gym before, but he wanted to see what it looked like. What it felt like being inside.

The room was empty. He looked and saw different instruments. He tried them all. Well most of it. He was sweating by the time he got done. He went to the adjoined showers and stripped his clothes making sure his headphones stayed in place. When he was naked, he went in the shower stall and took off his headphones. It was then that he heard someone taking a shower too. He should've brought his clothes in with him he thought.

It didn't take long until he was coming out of the shower with a towel on his waist. He looked around as he heard the shower from another stall stopping.

He waited before he could get dressed. He didn't want another person seeing his naked self.

The person was surely taking their time. But after a while they came out with a towel wrappped on their waist too. Gulf was  face to face with the butler from yesterday.

"Are you allowed to be using this shower?"

The butler just looked at him.

"Don't you have butler rooms where you can shower instead of disrupting the guests quality time?"

"I didn't know anyone was going to come here this late" the man spoke up for the first time.

"Well someone is..." Gulf got distracted by water dripping from the man's hair making a trail on his chest until it disappeared in his belly button...  "Someone is here" he finished.

"My apologies" the butler said as he intensely stared at Gulf.

Gulf kept on looking at the belly button waiting for the drop of water to come out. He started counting in his head. It was at 7 that the droplet of water came running down on the towel. He smiled satisfied. He looked at the man's groin and got reminded about their last encounter. The man started walking heading for the gym lockers to get his clothes.

"About yesterday" Gulf interrupted him as he scratched his head.

"I'm sorry about that." The man offered his apology.
