Chapter 3

Go down to the pool to see Erica?
Nah, he just eats his lunch.
It was a silly idea. Hiro just picked up the remains of his sandwich and finished it. He knows he saw the device but it wasn't real anymore, how could it be? Maybe he was too stressed at work. He should take a rest.
Hiro sat there on the bench pondering this and thinking again about Ericas long, lean legs as well as a particular tweet stream he'd send out tonight about his hallucination. Then as he was staring down at his phone, he sensed someone walk up in front of him and stop.
He looked up slowly and saw a pair of beautiful feet, let shapely, smooth legs, they were familiar perhaps? He kept looking and saw a smart black skirt, exactly knee length but tight and sexy and up across a fantastic chest encased in stylish blazer and suit with a delicate blouse just light enough to make you dream it was transparent when you know it wasn't. Then the face, her eyes and red hair, and she was smiling.
He thinks she might be talking too. She was.
"Did you hear me Hiro?", Erica said sweetly, and a bit worried. "Are you alright? I looks like a disaster area here?"
I looked down at the spilled bottle and food everyone, and mumbled, "Yah, thanks, I just dropped my food when a bird swooped on me. No harm done."
He jumped up and gathered his things, "I should head back to the office actually, shall we? Were you are the pool?"
She instantly turned red and a bit sheepish, "Ya I was actually. I often go at lunch right. I just love to get a few laps in and get some sun, then ... shower. It's so refreshing. But today was, well, as you can imagine, different."
Hiro furled his brow, confused. "Why? Too nice and sunny? Did you get sunburned?"
Her perfect eyes widened, "No, the sun was fine. I just didn't realize when I was going in about the change in, you know, the thing about bathing and being...naked."
Hiros mouth was hanging open as he stopped in his tracks, he decided to play dumb, "oh, um, how so?"
Erica kept walking and looked decidedly up and away from him, "Well, I mean it's silly, obviously it's perfectly natural to be naked when you're bathing. And so it's perfectly natural to not make any unnecessary fuss about when, or (gulp) where you take your clothes off or dry off. So, I mean, the women's shower and change room are awfully crowded at lunch. They're not very big and hardly any men go during the day. And today was such a nice day outside. Well, it made sense...at the time."
"What made sense?", Hiro had a growing pit of regret growing in his stomach.
