From Savannah's house, we got to Interstate Highway 30 within a few minutes. Mandy had been right about traffic. Apparently many holiday travelers wer... out and on the highway. Savannah and Mandy had worked out an alternate root, but that would require getting off the highway, and that wasn't going to happen very quickly.Feelings from our sharing still lingered. I was still anxious, and I was sure the girls probably were too. We needed a distraction, but I couldn't think of anything to talk. Everyone thought he was stupid. They only saw him battle, assumed it was just enough that he understood battling and Pokémon. But Misty knew. She sighed again and walked down the steps toward the baths. The Pokécenter’s bathroom was tiled and nice, with shower stalls and fresh towels ready for any trainer that came along. Misty set her clothes on the bench and walked carefully to the shower stall. The tile was cool under her feet, so she hopped more than anything. She stepped into the shower. ‘Jiao, if you don’t listen to me, I may have to give you a spanking,’ I semi-threatened, but with a smile. She actually leaned over and shook her bare butt at me! I made a motion like I was going to spank her, but of course ‘missed.’ Jiao giggled, then raised her hand to her lip. I picked her up and carried her over to the bed where I put her down. I had also stopped before returning to the bedroom and brought back some wet cloths, and dry towels, along with a bucket of hot water. Jiao, all. Paula's face softened. "Oh Adam." Suddenly she giggled. GIGGLED! Adam was astounded. Her eyes sparkled without a hint on anger in them. "I'm sorry, I just couldn't resist putting you on the spot. I know it was mean of me." How did you know?" Well, unlike Janey, I know very well the aroma of a male in rut. When we were leaving I sort of wandered over towards where it was strongest and I saw what you had left behind. I confirmed it when I saw the front of your pants." But you didn't say.
