Behind Closed Doors

Chapter 44

Sasha entered the room and knelt down beside the tub. She picked up the hose attached the faucet and regulated the water to a comfortable temperature. "Lean your head back Hannah." She directed. She carefully wet down the little girl's hair. "Not spoiled Brian." She said flipping the lever to momentarily stop the water flow. "Just well loved." She set the sprayer down and poured some shampoo into her hands, rubbing them together to work up a lather. "Mmm… I smell strawberries!" She stated as she worked the shampoo into Hannah's hair.

"It smells good huh?"

"Yes it does. I might have to buy some of this for me!"

Hannah giggled. "You can use mine if you want to!"

"Thank you Hannah!" She picked up the sprayer and flipped the switch to start the water again. "Tilt your head back for me so I don't get soap in your eyes OK?" Hannah did as she was told. Sasha carefully rinsed her hair until all of the soap was washed out. She turned off the water. "All done!" She declared standing up.

"Thanks Sasha!"

"You're welcome Hannah." She went over to the drawer Hannah had showed her earlier containing her hair accessories. She took out a clip and went back over to Hannah. "Let's put your hair up so it doesn't get soapy while you finish your bath." She said as she twisted the little girl's hair up and secured it with the clip.

"Wow! Daddy never does that!" Hannah stated.

"That's 'cause your daddy's not a girl so he doesn't think of these things!" Sasha teased winking at Brian.

"Spoiled!" Brian stated laughing. "Thanks for washing her hair Sasha!"

Sasha smiled. "No problem. I'll meet you downstairs." She replied as she started to open the door.

"You can stay and talk to us while I finish my bath Sasha!" Hannah affirmed.

"Hannah!" Brian scolded. "Sasha probably doesn't want to hang out in a hot bathroom while you take a bath!"

"OK." She looked up at Sasha. "Sorry Sasha." She apologized dejectedly.

Sasha hated to disappoint anyone. She took her hand off the doorknob and turned around. She walked over to the counter and hoisted herself up. "What do you want to talk about Hannah?"

"Spoiled!" Brian mouthed smiling at Sasha as he knelt down beside the tub to help his daughter finish her bath.
