"Uhhhh!" A low grunt left him, and her eyes snapped open.
"Oops! … I'm sorry!" She quickly released her hand and reached for the blanket to cover him again. However, before she could, she felt him turn and curl in a fetal posture and wrap his arms around her!
Shelby froze.
'What is it with him and seated waist hugs?'
She tried to detangle him, but he wouldn't budge. Shelby took off the towel that was now pressed between them wetting her already thin attire and placed it back in the basin. Shelby reached out with a bit of difficulty and brought the blanket around him and her legs so that he was at least fully covered. After she was done, she turned to look at him only to see him staring straight up at her. Her heart skipped another beat!
'My poor heart!'
Meeting those clear but cloudy set of eyes made Shelby's calm heart go haywire.
'Oh no! He caught me! What do I do now? Ahhhhhhhhh! Shelby! You silly girl!'
"It's you!"
