My six

for Six Sentence Stories where the given word is Treatment.

.

She’s been very good to me just lately so I thought she deserved some special treatment and knowing how much she likes luxuriating in a mountain of sumptuous bubbles  I splashed out on some very expensive bath lotion. Okay, it was half price in a sale but she didn’t need to know that!

I popped upstairs to find out how she was enjoying it, and as I entered the bathroom she was climbing out of the tub and there she stood with a big smile on her face, all pink and shiny and she looked so sweet I just had to give her hot little body a cuddle.

I gave her a squeeze and she suddenly shot up from my arms and hit her head on the ceiling; actually, I’m joking but she was extremely slippery!

As for me, I think the ideal soak would be in a bath of red wine, just laying there in a cheeky little Chateau  Branleur with a hint of blackberries and plum, and an aroma reminiscent of balmy summer nights in Bordeaux, although it might be more like marinating than bathing, and I’d probably emerge looking like a chunk of coq-au-vin!

In the meantime, I’ll make do with my usual squirt and a half of citrus washing-up liquid, and pretend it’s gin and lime!

    Hm…maybe you’re onto something there with the “ideal soak”, Keith 😁

      Yea, all I’d need is a drinking straw and a bowl of olives and I’ll be in bathtime heaven!

    A bath in red wine does sound more like marinating than bathing.

    Fun idea, Keith. Not sure about the effect on red wine of body sweat, exfoliation and other bathtime ‘accidents’. 😉

      Requires a little more thought before I take the plunge! Cheers, Doug.

    What an …exhuberant Six!
    Not sure that is the correct word for a story that is not only fun to read, imagery abounding, but to hear.
    Very cool

      I’m not sure either but I’ll gratefully accept it in the generous way it was intended! Thank you.

    Ha! I remember using a particular washing up liquid as shampoo because it smelt nice.It stripped my hair of all its natural oils and took months to get the shine back!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings October 22, 2021 / 12:35

      Now you come to mention it, I can understand how that might happen! Thanks for the warning!

    Hi Keith – way too early … but bathtime time heaven … no thank you – rather the bottle and the olives after a luxuriating bath – overlooking the sea and setting sun. Cheers – Hilary

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings October 22, 2021 / 12:32

      I agree with you Hilary, that’s the way to do it!

      A match made in … the bathtub! I thought I’d give audio a go, and I might just do it again. You should!
