Ky's POV:

I open my eyes and see him standing there.

Oh my god, my life is over.

My cheeks turn about fifty shades of red. I turn my body away, hiding it as well as I can under the circumstances.

"Newt! Why would you do this to me?!" I shout angrily.

He shrugs.

"Just thought I might join you", he says, removing his shirt and pants.

"Um...Newt, maybe...", but before I can finish, he drops his boxers and steps into the shower with me.

I freeze, not knowing what to do.

"Don't act like you've never seen me naked before", Newt says, smirking.

"I haven't!" I say, indignantly.

Newt reaches across me and grabs the shampoo, watching my face the whole way. His arm brushes mine and I shiver, but not from the cold this time.

Newt washes his hair while I finish washing the rest of my body. As I'm rinsing off, Newt touches my wrist, stopping me.

He slowly trails his hand up my arm to my shoulder. He plants a kiss on my neck and moves closer to me. My body shudders with excitement.

I put my hands on his chest.

"Ne-Newt", I mumble.

Newt stops and takes a step back looking me in the eyes.

"Yes, love?"

I look down.

"I'm not ready. I mean, I'm not ready for this....sex, or anything like that..."

Newt touches my chin, lifting my face up to meet his eyes.

"Love, I respect that, and I won't make you do anything you don't want to do. If you aren't ready, then I'm not either. I can wait", Newt says smiling.

I smile.

"Thank you, Newt."

I turn off the water and kiss his cheek, walking towards my clothes. I slip them on, and Newt follows suit, doing the same.

We walk out of the bathhouse together, talking and laughing.

Chuck and Thomas are standing by a tree nearby.

"Oh! Newt! You're walking!" Thomas says excitedly.

Thomas looks at Newt and I's hands locked together and his eyebrows knit together in confusion.

"What...." Chuck starts.

My face burns hotly. Newt shrugs and plays it off cool.

"We were just freshening up", he says without hesitation.

Thomas shrugs and turns to Chuck saying something quietly to him. The fat little boy bursts out laughing, falling over in hysterical laughter. This causes Thomas to giggle.

I turn away angrily and pull Newt along with me, leaving those immature babies to laugh the day away in private.
