on getting wet

i love taking baths. but because my bathroom is too small for those ball-and-claw bathtubs i adore, i take showers instead. if i want a bath, i go to a hotel (with my endymion, more often than not). exorbitant and maybe a bit too sybaritic for some, but yes, that's what i do.

so i already said that i love baths. i will pretty much stay in one until i turn into a prune. after which i will leisurely moisturize with body butter all over, a ritual my significant other will ignore the sports channel for (an occurence that is so astoundingly rare, i would faint if it happened without provocation).

of course, this has nothing to do with seduction. i ALWAYS moisturize. i lay down in bed, bare of everything but my good intentions, slip into a trance and moisturize. i am not putting on a show for him, folks. i do what i always do. i don't even like to be disturbed while i hydrate my skin. so sometimes, i'm amazed that what is essentially a natural act (for me, anyway) can still reduce him to an ogling, rabid creature. if i were a cuore sportivo on exhibit, he would've elbowed his way through the crowd, cursing under his breath, to the front. if i were a movie, he would've bought a large bucket of extra-butter popcorn. if i were a steak, he would have brandished his serrated knife with glee. if i were a basketball game he had been dying to watch on the sports channel, he would have conveniently missed that great three-pointer. holy shit, not the three-pointer!

and when the sounds of the raucous crowd reaches his ears, he turns to the TV then to me then back to the TV with that classic look of unadulterated rage mixed with desperate confusion. holy shit, not the three-pointer!

but surprisingly, he gets over it.

i, of course, am too caught up in moisturizing to even notice. i could even be humming a little tune by then, unmindful of his intense regard.

so it's too late to get those precious seconds back when he could've cheered along in real-time with his fellow basketball fans. he tries to salvage the lost moment and offers to do my back. but i can't let him do that. in his state, he will be more likely to roll me on my back than do my back, totally defeating the purpose of moisturizing. and that i cannot allow, the stickler for proper post-bath toilette that i am.

a girl needs to feel a few minutes of pure, unadulterated silkiness before she is carried kicking and screaming (well, not really, unless it was some sort of juvenile role-playing) to the hotel bathroom, where the cycle of getting wet starts all over again.

immerse onself in bubbles, lather, rinse, moisturize, make boyfriend miss seeing the three-pointer, be pleasantly punished for it, repeat. who would've thought that taking baths could be so damnably delightful?
