A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"Emily, are you okay?"

In the darkness, Emily could barely see a faint shadow, tall and slender, standing at the doorway of the bathroom.

Without a conscious thought, she pulled down a towel to cover herself, and answered,"I'm okay."

"Okay." Jacob turned away without a moment's hesitation.

The thought of spending another second in the dark bathroom all by herself sent shivers down her spine as she implored,"Please wait for a moment, Jacob."

Jacob stopped in his tracks and walked back in an instant, as if he knew she was going to call him.

"I'm a little scared. Could you please wait for me at the doorway?

"But you've asked me to stay at least two meters away from the bathroom." Jacob replied in a calm voice, but with a hint of sarcasm,"So you want me to stand at the door, right?"

"Yeah." Acknowledging the fact that it was her request, Emily felt embarrassed, as her face turned red immediately. However, when she realized that Jacob wouldn't be able to see her in the dark, she felt relieved and added,"I want you to turn your back to me."

Jacob stood still at the doorway, silently. Not having received any responses, Emily called out again,"Jacob..."

Jacob had to turn his back to her. However, surrounded by the hot steam floating in the bathroom, as soon as he heard the sound of rushing water again, he started to get hot gradually.

'Emily, even without a conscious thought, somehow, you still manage to turn me on, ' Jacob thought to himself.

Tsk! Was it not true, that a man standing at the door of the bathroom waiting for a woman to take a shower, was similar to a hungry wolf waiting for the little sheep to wash itself, before eating it? Too much credulity was never a good thing.

"How are you, Emily?" Outside the door, Jack had heard Emily's shriek followed by the loud sound of the door being pushed open, which made him a little anxious as he mistakenly thought that she had fallen down,"Don't be afraid, Emily. Open the door and let me in..."

However, both Emily and Jacob ignored his "kindness" spontaneously.

Jack got tired of anxiously waiting outside, so he started to knock on the door, making a loud and muffled sound.
