My friend and I had been best friends since our freshman year of Uni. We had gone through all the ups and downs of Uni life together, and we were always there for each other. We were always joking around and having a good time.
One day, we were hanging out in his dorm room and he asked if I wanted to take a shower with him. I was taken aback by the suggestion, but I agreed because I thought it would be a fun way to bond and hang out.
Drops his soap bar on purpose
We both got into the shower and I noticed that he had a bar of soap. He started to lather up with it and then he dropped it. He quickly picked it up again, but I couldn’t help but think that he had done it on purpose.
I looked over at him and he was looking back at me. He had a smirk on his face and it was almost as if he was trying to tell me something. I couldn’t help but think that he was hinting at something more than just a shower.
I was feeling a bit embarrassed and uncomfortable, so I decided to just ignore it and move on. We finished our shower and got out. We both got dressed and I thought the awkwardness was over.
But then he started to make suggestive comments about how I looked in my clothes and how he wished he could take them off. I was starting to get really uncomfortable and I decided to leave.
I told him that I had to get going and he said that he understood, but he also asked me if I wanted to stay the night. I said no and left, feeling a bit confused and a bit creeped out.
Confronted him about it the next day
The next day, I asked him what had happened in the shower and why he had dropped the soap. He said that he had done it on purpose, because he wanted to see if I was interested in ‘giving’ it to him.
I was shocked by his confession and I told him that I didn’t appreciate him doing that. He apologized and said that he was just trying to see if I was interested. I told him that I wasn’t and that it was inappropriate.
After that, things were a bit awkward between us. We never talked about it again and eventually we went back to being best friends.
I still wonder sometimes about what he was thinking when he dropped that soap in the shower.
