Samuel had only just gotten inside when lightning flashed, thunder sounded, and the rain began to fall.
Already the air felt cooler. It had been one sweltering day and Samuel didn't want to speak more of it. His clothes were covered in a thin layer of dust, his feet were close to blistering in his boots, and his body ached like crazy.
He had to sit down on the floor to pry off his boots. Even when unlaced, they were still tricky to get off. Combined with arms very tired from holding heavy tools all day, Samuel was struggling.
Eventually they were off, with a resounding plop. Samuel revelled in his feet's new found freedom, wiggling his toes.
He didn't have much purpose downstairs. It was late now, the sun having set a few hours ago,

He hadn't had the energy this morning to run up the stairs and he certainly didn't have it now. This day was marked to go down as one of the worst of the year.
He entered the bathroom and locked the door, even though Brandon was unlikely to disturb him. Just like the Barkers had a morning ritual, they had an evening one, too. And Samuel's started with him entering the house, locking the door, going upstairs and making it his first item of business to get clean.
Samuel twisted both taps so spurts of warm and cold water trickled into the bath. He was more than happy to strip off, pulling off the sweat-laden t-shirt and shorts, screwing them up into a ball and taking aim at the laundry

He just wanted enough time to lean back on the ceramic, stretch out his legs, and close his eyes, letting the water soothe his aching muscles. Which was exactly what he did, until he felt the water level rising above his stomach, and then he leant forward to turn the taps off.
Shampoo and conditioner weren't something Samuel used. His father kept a bottle of each in the cupboard above the sink, but Samuel didn't touch them. Instead, he reached out for the bar of soap, lathering that on his hands instead and scrubbing at his hair. The soap left his hair dry and frizzy, obviously not good for washing hair, but Samuel wasn't able to tell that it left his hair slightly damaged after every use. It was cheaper to use than shampoo and conditioner, got rid of the dirt and grease from his hair, so why did Samuel care if it was the right thing to use or not?
Once he'd washed his hair, there wasn't much point lingering in the bathroom any more. If he wanted to rest, he could do that in the comfort of his own bed.
Samuel pulled the plug to drain the bathwater and stepped out, grabbing a towel which he'd conveniently left for himself on the toilet seat. He used it briefly to dry off his hair so it was now only damp before he wrapped it around his
The hot sun beamed off Remi's body as sweat ran down her skin like rain drops. Today was the official beginning of fall and the sun has yet to show mercy on any soul living. And to make matters even worse the A/C unit was out of order which meant every one in Lakeview Apartment would have to suffer from the unbaring heat.
She headed to the adjoining bathroom to wash up and change clothing. Trenor stood outside the door, waiting diligently for her to open it once she was done.
It took very little time to fill one of the tubs with water from the tank. It was late in the evening and the firebox had not been tended by the girl who was supposed to see to that so it had gone out. The water in the cistern was still plenty hot enough though. Ben stopped Jeb from filling the second tub, “I think one is good enough don’t you.” Jeb smiled at the statement. Ben got into the tub first and faced in the correct direction, his large cock already hard and sticking up out of water. Jeb knew exactly what it was that he had in
The water erupted. William and Tabitha leaned back against the jets, letting the burst of water massage their lower backs. After a few minutes adjusting to the tub, Tabitha turned to William. “So, what do you think so far?”
down to the nurse’s office so that they could examine his injuries that he had gotten overnight.
Bob shook his head, smiling slowly. “You could use a bath, Greaser. And a good working over. And we’ve got all night to do it. Give the kid a bath, David” (55).
Resigning himself to this, Steve unwrapped the last layer of twisted sheets, swung his legs off the bed, raked his fingers through the dark tangles of his hair, and pulled himself to his feet. Without turning on the lights, he made his way through the shadows to the bathroom where he splashed water in his face. After finding his sweats, he pulled them on and was off for his early (although not usually this early) morning jog through the murky Dallas streets.
His gaze caught his brothers, and he briefly poked his tongue out as he exited the river; shirtless, and with gleaming droplets of water dripping down his broad chest, and the muscles of his torso rippling with each movement.
The lad stormed off after placing the hog and his belongings down to go check out the well out in front. The boy approached the stone well, and checked to see if everything was still in tact. It was, there was even more than one bucket. Jessime rotated the lever to uprooted the small bucket from the water below, he checked the water to see if it was any good and hauled it back to the church. He decided it would be best if he bathed after he finished with the swine.

The tub is full to capacity. Water splashes over the side. It’s full of bubbles. Maxwell puts her down to stand next to the tub. He gets inside first. He then helps her in. They sit down together. Maxwell takes the time to give her a bath. He washes her body slowly. Jada lets him do what he needs to. She’s too tired to do anything about it.
In the article, Reviere noted that women in Essence were portrayed as being more independent compared to women in Cosmo. As noted above this is primarily so because the income levels of women in Essence is double the amount of those in Cosmo, which means that the targeted audience is a big age difference. In the table, it can be seen that their sexuality is different in both magazines. Essence conveys an approach that is more of a feminist saying that women can be independent and they don’t need to have man. It also advises women to not stay in relationship where your partner isn’t faithful. Meanwhile, in Cosmo, women are advised to be the complete opposite. While Essence does not accept infidelities, Cosmo advices women to weigh out their
Tuesday, September 11th, 2001 began as a normal, late summer day in New York City, New York. It started as a beautiful morning, with its sky cloudless and bright with the shining sun. Despite the seemingly peaceful morning, a sequence of catastrophic events occurred and caused the day to take a turn for the worst. Anything that made the day appear normal drastically changed.
The first article chosen about this event was focusing on the iPhone’s newest features and how it compares to the last release of iPhones. The newest iPhones are faster, have better camera quality, and feature a structure made out of complete glass. What strikes me is that our society has taken this phone and given it such high regards so that we feel we NEED it. In the article, Manjoo quotes “And while experts said Apple’s lead might slip over time, for now, its advantage remains enormous enough to make the iPhone a must for people who think of their phones as their most important computing device — in other words, you and me and everyone we know”. This symbolizes iPhones in our culture as a cultural object, something we have highly regarded, and by definition is something that has a creator, and “has a shared significance; it has been given a meaning shared by members of the culture” (20). We feel as though we cannot live without our phones, making it a part of our daily lives, and leaving Apple with the upper hand on us.
The second it unlocked, Seohyun flung herself inside to the bathroom where she yanked the shower hose off the wall, slammed on the water, and began spraying every speck of mud off of her skin. The water stung, ice cold, but she didn’t care. It just had to come off.
