Going for a swim.

"Ugh, what time is it even." Curtis said to himself when he awoke. Last night he fell asleep right away, forgetting to even set an alarm. He glanced over to the clock seeing it say 9:00 AM. Next, he checked his phone to see that due to the **** snow storms across the country, his flight would be delayed for another 2 days. While thoroughly disappointed, he decided he would not let it get in the way of a good day. Remembering the pool he decided that it could be a fun way to relax, the pool was outside in the 32 degree weather, except it was heated so it shouldn't be too bad he thought.

After changing he left his motel room in nothing else than swim shorts and his keys. When he came to the pool he was pleased to see that he was the only one there and seized the opportunity to swim around the pool completely alone. The heated water felt great on his body, especially when compared to the parts of his body that got exposed to the cold air when he stopped swimming. Later, around 30 minutes into his swimming a pair of girls that seemed to be his age got in with him. While Curtis was not super shy, he felt uncomfortable around girls and decided that he would leave right about now. However, he could smell the chlorine all over his body and saw there were public towels and a private stall shower he could use before he went to his room, so he thought why not.

When he went into the stall he just dropped his shorts and slightly kicked them behind him right next to the stall door. When he turned on the water he was shocked, it was freezing cold, and despite him being unable to get heat he decided that he would still use it to clean the chlorine off him rather than bringing the smell into his room. As he showered he heard giggles outside, and just assumed the girls he saw earlier were having fun in the pool.

What he did not realize though was that while he showered they had stolen his shorts from under him, and were quickly making a getaway while he kept showering. As he finished the shower he tried to grab for his shorts since he didn't bring a towel into the stall. Surprised to not find his shorts, Curtis decided that maybe somehow a motel worker accidentally took them, and decided to yell out.

"Hello? Did someone accidentally take my shorts?" he yelled to no avail. Since nobody replied, he decided to cup over his privates and take the quick walk over to the towels. This was nerve-racking for him, but as far as he was aware nobody had noticed. But, the worst was yet to dawn on him.

"Shit, my keys were in my shorts. I don't think I have a way into my room anymore."
