Warm water cascaded through her hair, no where near splashing all over her face. Thats good.

When Shane felt that her hair was wet enough, she shut off the water. She opened the bottle of shampoo and squirted some onto her palm. Immediately, the smell of jasmine filled the small room.

MJ waited anxiously. This is the real test.

Shane saw MJ tensed up and was wondering what she was thinking. She shrugged it off and went to it.

MJ felt fingers entered her hair as if in a caress. Her body at its own accord relaxed and let go. Gentle stroking and kneading lured her deeper in her lethargy, but oddly she felt her body starting to heighten in awareness, becoming more heated. She unknowingly let out a low moan.

Shane heard the moan, and knew that she was in the right direction. She smiled to herself. She didnt think she would enjoy this as much as she was. MJs hair was a silky wet bundle in her hand, slipping and sliding. Realizing that she was about to cross that line, Shane turned on the water and rinsed off MJs hair, taking care as to not get any water into her eye.

The last suds now gone, Shane asked, So, did I pass the test?

MJ couldnt believe that it was over. She was really enjoying herself. She started to reply but found that she had to clear her throat for it came out as croak. Finally, Yeah, it was perfect.

Glad to hear it. Shane grinned proudly.

MJ found herself smiling back almost goofily. All of a sudden she turned away as if realizing something. All right, uh I have to go. We dont have that many people coming in here this morning, and you are perfectly fine at it. So yeah, I have to go but I will be back probably before we close.

Okay, Shane said, a little confused now, if you think Im ready.

Yup, you sure are. With that said, she spun around and practically ran out the door before realizing that she did not have her stuff, so ran back in again. With bag in hand, she waved and disappeared through the door.

That was interesting, Shane said to the empty room.
