Will finishes his shower

Will was finishing his shower turning off the hot water. The bathroom smelled of his body wash. He dried off and fixed his shirt hair. He threw on some cargo shorts and a teal short sleeve shirt. While brushing his teeth he could have sworn he heard laughter. He could tell one was Tora but who else was here. It sounded like her sister was on speaker phone. He flossed and burned his gums with mouthwash. Opening the bathroom door he saw Tora sitting next to Caroline. They we're watching a video on the blonde's phone.

"Oh hi Will." Caroline stood up.

Tora knew why he was staring with wide eyes but he looked at Tora who shook her head. Caroline gave him a big hug knowing how jealous Tora always was whenever another woman interacted with him. She savored the hug rubbing her face against his shirt taking in his scented body wash. She was in an olive green flutter top. It had shear ruffle drapes in front and back with a V neck line. She wore with a frilly black mini skirt that showed her beautiful tan legs. Her bright blonde hair was now curly and of course he could never forget her beautiful emerald eyes.

"Long time no see." She said letting go to sit back with Tora who she noticed was not smiling. The bubbly blonde smiled and put her head on her shoulder for a moment.

"So how long have you two been here?" Caroline said.

"Oh we just got here last night." Will said still standing in the door way.

"Jared, Aunt Lori and I got here I think three days ago." Caroline said sounding happy.

"Oh Aunt Lori is here!? How is she doing? I don't remember the last time I saw her. Maybe high school when she took us to the movies." Tora said.

"She's great. She's doing much better after her knee surgery."

"That's good. Will we should go see her before we go." Tora looked over at Will who seemed to still be day dreaming.

"Oh um yeah we could see her." He said.

Tora gave him a look.

"Just make sure it's at night. She loves to be on the beach under her umbrella all day undisturbed." Caroline said.

"Does she still keep her hair in that updo that she did in..."

"No not anymore." Caroline turned towards her.

"She tends to straighten her hair more."

Will walked over to the mini fridge and opened a bottle of water.

"Oh! That reminds me." Caroline got up and went to her bag on the floor near the door. She pulled out a bottle.

"You should try this Tor. It's like a wine but it tastes like cranberries and strawberries mixed together." Caroline said sitting back down.

"Hey do you guys have glasses? I didn't bring any." She said looking around.

Will checked around and pulled out some small styrofoam cups.

"We have these I guess." He said handing them to her.

"If this is all we got." She said opening the bottle.

"Is your Aunt Lori still...well I don't want to say racist but..." Will said scratching his arm leaning against the wall.

"Oh! As soon as she got here it started." Caroline said.

"Oh boy." Tora smiled.

"She looks around when we first arrived and says to us. Man look at all the Jose's."

Tora laughed knowing her Aunt much better than Will.

"Since we got here she has called every guy with brown skin Jose." Caroline laughed sipping from her cup.

"An employee takes our bags to our room. Thanks Jose. Another employee walks by. OH HI JOSE!" Caroline and Tora laughed loud. Will smiled and shook his head.

"A woman brought us some wine. Aunt Lori opens it right there and drinks some. She looks at the poor girl and says. Hey this is pretty good Jose-a."

"Jose-a!" Tora burst out laughing.

"She turns around and says. What!? She's a she so you put an a after." Caroline put her head back against the seat and laughed.

"Oh my god." Tora wiped her eyes.

They took a minute to catch their breath.

"How is it living with her?" Tora thought to ask.

"I know everything between you and your mother got uh...worse." Tora stopped herself.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have brought her up." Tora said looking down at her cup.

"No it's okay." Caroline said refilling her cup.

"I actually haven't spoken to her in years to be honest." Caroline traced her thumbs along the side of her cup.

"After what she did to me, when high school was over. She demanded that I go to school to be a psychiatrist like Dad. Since I'm her little burden then I should at least make him proud. That's what she said to me. But I wanted to go into fashion. Maybe make some beautiful wedding gowns or the season's next style. By Caroline Remy." She said smiling.

"You...took your Aunt's last name." Tora asked softly.

"Yeah. It helped me forget about Mom. She hated having that last name. I'm not sure why though. Dad understood when I told him. He always told me he was happy to see his little girl smile." She sniffed.

Tora smiled. Caroline looked at her and they nuzzled their head together using each other as support.
