Chapter 11: The Last Good One

5 days later

Lily sat in her room as instructed by James. His words: "This is our last full day together. So, I'm gonna make it a good one."

Lily was staring around when James' head followed by a muscle tee and khaki shorts popped in her door. Lily was in a halter with a loose jean skirt.

"Ok. Just down here!"

Lily got down the stairs. They went to the kitchen. The table-

"Everything is a saucy texture. We're having a little food fight. Then, see that tub?" he pointed across the room. It was a square tub with walls 6 feet long. "It's a little tug of war game. The loser falls in the tub! I bewitched the pool water not to get dirty. We can have our fight then dive in. After, we'll eat supper. Pizza! Made it myself. After supper, we can swim or do whatever you want. You'll choose, Lily dearest."

"James? You really did think of everything!" She kissed his cheek and poured macaroni on his head! The food fight had begun

In the end, Lily was a walking macaroni, mustard, ketchup, miracle whip, peanut butter, ice cream, butter and salsa jar all mixed together. As for James, he had all of the above plus jam, relish, orange juice, and cheese wiz! Poor him!

They raced to the pool and jumped in. After 30 minutes, they got out and blow-dried themselves off, too.

"Now! Lily, are you sure you wanna play tug of war?"

"Oh yeah. Definitely. I'm gonna kick your ass!"

"Ok then." They began to pull. After 10 minutes of struggle, Lily used all her might and pulled James into the pool of-whatever it was.

James got up and slipped about 15 times before he put aside his pride and asked for some help.

Lily got close. She looked like a ballerina the way she tiptoed on one foot to pull him out.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" James laughed. Lily stared, unsure.

Then she felt his massive arms pull her in! It had the consistency of jell- o and pizza dough.

"Ah! It's EGGS!" It felt rather cold up her skirt. "James! You - you - I love you!" She flung herself forwards and flattened James into the eggs. She kissed him as she rubbed in all the egg white. She was pressing up against him. Her hands were roaming around and caressing his hair.

"Oh James. I love you. I love you. This is the best day yet!"

"Lily, I would do anything for you if it made you happy!"

He slid his hands behind her neck and the other around her waist. They kissed until he pulled away briefly.

"Hey, Lily?" He had a slight tone of amusement in his voice.

"Yes, James?" she played along. She liked his little mood.

"I know this started it all, but now that we're a couple, item, and all, well - can I do this?" and with that, he reached and grabbed hold of her left rear cheek.

"I'm not sure, can I do it, too?" She replied the action.

"Sure. Trust me. I don't mind in the least." He smiled his award-winning grin.

"Well, I'm all yours." With that, they continued to kiss and fully enjoy each other and their company.

They didn't even care. They stopped kissing and sat in a corner of the tub in each other's arms. They paid no attention to where or what they were in. It felt like a cool blanket and pillow. And, it was well into the evening before they got out and cleaned themselves up.

They ate supper together while remembering the day and asking for each other's favorite part. They both agreed the egg bath was amusing.

Later, Lily changed into a long silk nightgown in a pale turquoise color with skimpy spaghetti straps. James had his boxers and a button up shirt.

She sat on the side of the tub. James asked, "What do you wanna do now?"

She reached up and began to kiss him once more. Then, without warning, she let go and dropped in. James grinned and jumped in with her. It was a perfect end to their week together!
