We watch a little TV, then Q asks me if I’d like to get into the hot tub.
Alida: But I don’t have a swimsuit.
Quincy: I don’t either. It’s just us…you don’t really need one.
Q gives me enough privacy to undress and step into the tub, before he turns on a stereo and steps in after me. He’s stark naked and I find myself shyly averting my eyes. At least until he leans over and begins to kiss me…

“It’s simple,
I love it,
Having you near me, having you here.
Our conversations,
Outrageous
You smile,
and I smile then I say
Boo, this getting personal, personal, personal
Let’s stay for a while and play
Girl let’s make this a moment
Giving you the best of me, amazing, (amazing), amazing,
Having you close to me, amazing, outrageous
Give your best to me…”
This. This moment is nothing like I expected. What I witnessed between my mom and her ‘client’ was basically an exchange not much different than what occurs between a cashier and a buyer. It was just woohoo…the act of two bodies joined for an act of pleasure on the part of the ‘client’.
That’s not what Q and I are sharing. It’s deeper than that. His eyes lock with my eyes, he smiles and I smile back. He moans and I do what I can to intensify it. His body giving…mine receiving and likewise. This is not just the joining of bodies. This. This is the joining of souls…
…at least I hope so. Despite what I felt moments ago…after woohoo, I panic for a moment and I ask myself what if Q treats me like Roman treated Michelle? What if this was just a drop in the bucket for him…just a routine act with another girl? Is he just ‘getting what he wants’? Or does he truly care for me?
Q climbs out of the hot tub and wraps himself in a towel. He gives me one as well…and I wrap it tightly around myself.
Quincy: Would you like to take a shower?
I try to push those doubts out of my mind as Q shows me the nearest bathroom. It’s the nicest bathroom, I’ve ever seen. There’s a tub big enough for two people as well as a separate shower. This is another first for me. Q occupies himself while I get cleaned up.
If this is nothing more than an exchange for Q…then he’s playing his hand well. I figure I might as well enjoy it while I can. I’m not quite ready for this night to end, so I come out of the bathroom dressed in my panties and bra. Q immediately takes the hint and pulls me into his arms. Our next stop…the master bedroom on the first floor.
Q washes off the sweat from his quick workout then comes out of the bathroom once again wrapped in a towel. He wants it as much as I do, so we crawl under the covers for round two.
