Chapter 4: The new guy

The next day, Courtney and I met up again with hopes of continuing our bucket list for summer.

We had a very long list of things to do together well planned and planned on doing them all before the summer break was finally over.

The next thing on our bucket list was to go hiking. This was something we had never done before, but would at least give it a try.

I was very scared of heights and wasn’t even sure to climb half the height of where we chose.

Courtney on the other hand was a fancy young lady who loved fashion and fancy trips and had never gone hiking either.

We knew it was going to be a very tiring yet beautiful adventure together. We had been wanting to do this for so long and now was the time.

She and I woke up very early and were all set and ready for our adventure. We chose to climb a hill which was not very far from where we lived.

We packed some food, water, face towels, dressed up in sportive attires and kicked off.

We took a cab to the foot of the hill where we alighted and started to climb. We had no one to accompany us but were not bothered at all.

So many other people visited the country side to climb this hill because it was a point of attraction and tourism.

The top of the hill was said to have the most beautiful view of the entire area. The hill was about 400m high and people from all around visited it everyday.

Courtney and I joined the other hikers to climb together.

It really wasn’t easy for us but after some time, we got to the top.

As soon as we reached the top, we took some very beautiful pictures and recordings of ourselves and also of the beautiful view nature provide from there.

We sat down for a while, ate some snacks and headed down without any more time wasted.

We were all so tired and our feet were swollen and sore.

As we climbed down the hill, Courtney toppled, fell and rolled down a certain distance where she obtained so many wounds on her body.

She was in so much pain that she screamed at the top of her voice.

I hurried down after her and help her stand on her feet.

We were almost at the foot of the hill but nothing major could be done to help heal the wounds immediately.

Once we got down the hill, I was about taking her to a nearby hospital when suddenly Henry appeared.

He immediately saw the wounds Courtney had obtained and helped me lift her into the vehicle and straight to the hospital where she was well attended to.

For a moment I was jealous when Henry lifted Courtney but stayed calm and hoped we reached the hospital sooner.

While at the hospital, Henry realized I was also limping and asked if it was due to the climbing and I shook my head to a Yes.

Without any further questions, he offered to give me a massage to help relax my feet and without hang hesitation, I agreed.

There was a wooden bench meant for visitors to sit out in the waiting room just about 2m away from us and he asked me to go sit there with him.

I sat down and he stretched my feet towards him, letting them lay on his thighs while he folded up my trousers a little and began to massage my feet.

I still couldn’t believe that I was sitting right next to “my Henry” and he was actually helping me relax my feet.

I didn’t even pay any attention to what he was doing as I kept on lusting after him in my thoughts.

His palms were unimaginably soft and his touch was very gentle. I couldn’t help but think about having him this close and even more in the days to come.

I also noticed he looked at me even deeper and he was so close that all I wanted to do at that moment was kiss him.

I had never felt that way before but I also didn’t find anything wrong with wanting this handsome young man to myself.

I was not so sure of what he was feeling but as he massaged my feet even more, my nervous system became very much active and I wasn’t really sure of what I was feeling.

I raised my hands and placed them on the back of his palms just to see his reaction. He lifted his head, looked at me and asked if he was massaging me too hard.

Of course not! I replied in a shallow voice. “Actually, you are doing it just perfect and it’s actually really relaxing, I said.
