“I’m sorry Carmen I got a little distracted there for a second….where was I?”

“Hydrotherapy…your gonna get wet with me…”

“Yeah sure……um right…so then we add some weights….2 pounds, three. And we move up till you can walk around on your own…Worse case scenario we use ultrasound to stimulate your muscles with sound waves…Even worse case, electrical stimulation to kick start your endorphins…but I don’t think we will need that…you where till the time of the attack a very fit person…great shape….I mean you are still in good shape all thing considered… it saved your life….”

“No you saved my life.”

“I was just able to get there before anyone…um…yeah…”

“You are very humble…how many people do you know that was save a complete stranger from a shark at the risk of there own lives?”

“Well thank you Carmen. Now let’s get that massage in…ah shit I forgot to mention the massages…it a deep tissue massage then the sauna…”

“Are you gonna give me a massage Shane?”

“Yes…ma’am I am going to give you a message”

And we just look at each other no one says anything, no one moves..I have to ask, I have to know….

“Shane do you have someone you know that you go home to?”

“Well I am seeing a couple of ladies…but no one you know exclusive….”

“It’s too bad. your a very giving person…I can’t see why you don’t have a steady woman in your life….”

“……..We should probably get started yeah I’ll go get a wheelchair and yeah….”

Fuck came on way too strong…she must think I am a complete hooker….

Man Carmen must think I am complete dork. I mean this beautiful sexy woman is hitting on me and I am all professional and shit…loser. Get her chair and focus on her training and for god’s sake stop staring at the way her hospital gown hugs her breasts. Cool like a breeze. Like waves crashing, like the side of a pillow…I walk back into her room without knocking and get an eyeful of naked Carmen…well not naked but topless…she was changing into her workout clothes…and I was staring at her bare breasts like a…dork…
