Scrubbing The Dirt, Part 2

A normal shower usually takes me about five minutes tops, ten minutes if I wanted to be thorough.

Twenty minutes was a new high for me that I never thought I'd reach. I've been submerged and soaked for so long that the skin on my fingertips was starting to prune and wrinkle as if I'm skinny-dipping here in the fountain of un-youth. 

But honestly, not a single drowning and sagging pore in my body felt like leaving. This was just supposed to be a quick refreshing bath, but having Adalia's presence, the feel of her naked body resting against mine - was a serene feeling of tranquility I don't think even zen monks have ever achieved… can't blame me for not wanting to dry myself back to reality. 

Yet despite that, there was any good without the bad, and in this case, the bad here was the simple irrefutable fact that I was practically acting like a player… and I don't mean that in a good way.
