Till Dark

Jordan's thoughts were on Andy as she entered her hotel and took the elevator to her room. The doors opened and she stepped out and walked down the narrow corridor to her suite. She wondered what they had discovered on the items found in his closet the previous night. There was no mistake in the way he had been looking at her or the way he had held her in his arms while the unshed tears of pain had rolled down her cheeks. Jordan had thought of and wanted little else but to be back in his arms again. Removing her shoes next to the door she padded across the room in her bare feet to the bedroom. Pulling a pair of khaki shorts and a peach colored shirt from one of the drawers in the dresser she laid the items neatly across the bed. She walked to the beautiful glamour bath to turn on the tap. The spray felt wonderful sliding over her fingers and when she was satisfied with the temperature she closed the door to let the room fill with intoxicating steam. If this doesn't wash away some of the bad vibes I have then nothing will she thought, as she slipped into the warm spray.

Jordan let the steam and pulses of the shower seduce her raw nerves for a calm she had not felt over the past twenty-four hours. Her thoughts slid back to Andy as the intoxicating spray slid enticingly over her body. There was no mistaking that there was an attraction between them but, what type of attraction was it? Her husband and she had held that type of attraction at one time or was that just something that was not real. She was not sure anymore and at this point she would never figure it out, nor did she care to. It was in the past she told herself. If that were true then why did he haunt her dreams and invade her private thoughts each day. The same way Andy's image popped in her mind more than she cared to admit. She cared for Andy but was that enough to take away the pain she had suffered and could she go through that pain again over someone else. Somehow she didn't think she wanted to try but, it could not hurt to just spend time with Andy and let her attraction to him bring her to life again. Ashamed and embarrassed at herself for thinking of Andy as just a lover for her own pleasures she brought her muddled mind out of its present state with a firm mental shake. This is my vacation she reminded herself and I am not going to sit around contemplating some man, with that she abruptly reached out to turn the stream of water off and got out.
