"You're welcome... I guess. I don't know why you're even thanking me." She smiled at me.
"Because, I've wanted to do that since you got here." I smiled back and grabbed her hand inside of my own.
"What can we do now?" She asked.
"Well, we could go to the pool. But you probably don't have a bathing suit with you." I chuckled.
"I have my bra and underwear. I could use those to swim in, I mean.... if that doesn't bother you." She said looking up at me again. I nearly choked, looking down at her and seeing that she was actually serious.
"I was kidding, Kim."
"I know you were, but I'm not. Come on, it'll be fun." She said dragging me towards the door.
I probably had a total look of awe on my face. I honestly felt like I was gonna be sick! She was actually gonna strip down to her unmentionables and swim in them. Then the nervousness started to ease and something else happened. I felt heat rising into my cheeks, my heart thundered in my chest. She was going to swim in her underwear! I chuckled slightly. Any man with a pulse would have loved to be in my shoes at that moment. I was pretty sure about that, atleast! I shrugged my shoulders and followed her.
We reached the pool area, which was indoors. Thank God. I didn't want people watching me. She let go of my hand and quickly pulled her shirt up over her head. Her dark blue bra looked magnificent against her lightly tanned skin. I just stood there, mouth opened wide. My jaw felt like it was locked in that possition, and I realized I was staring at her again. I tore my gaze away from her and pulled my own shirt off and put it on the closest chair I could reach. I was glad I had decided to wear shorts. I heard a splash and realized that she was already in the pool. I took my shoes off and kicked them to the side. She surfaced and looked over at me.
"Come on, Zac. The water feels fantastic!" She smiled and leaned against the edge of the pool.
I jumped in and swam towards her. I surfaced quickly, my face just inches from hers. She grinned widely at me, her eyes sparkling brightly. I leaned in to kiss her again. I closed my eyes tightly and felt her arms slip around my shoulders..... then I was underwater! She had dunked me under the water! Oh, she was going to get it! I surfaced again and spit out the water that had made its way into my mouth. I looked around, and I didn't see her anywhere. Where the hell was she? I kept looking, back and forth. Still nothing!
"Hi." She laughed somewhere behind me. I turned around and there she was, leaning against the opposite end of the pool.
"Oh, you're gonna get it." I laughed back and continued to walk towards her.
"Ohh, I'm scared." She said trying to keep a straight face.
"You should be, because you are in BIG trouble!" She didn't swim away. She just stood there, waiting and watching. I reached her finally, and smiled at her. She smiled back, pushing her hair back behind her ears.
"You're not going to run away?" I asked her.
"No, I deserve the pay back." She smiled. "So, do your worst."
I just looked at her, dumbfounded. She was actually going to let me push her in the water. Too bad Taylor and Isaac weren't more like her! I never got them back this easy. I smiled at her again, pulling her close to me. I could feel her skin touch mine, as it sent tingles all over my body. I pushed my lips against hers, wrapping my arms around her tightly. I walked forward until I could feel my arms hit the wall of the pool. I held us in the corner as tight as I possibly could as I kissed her. She opened her mouth to me as I slipped my tongue in and let it touch hers. The warmth of her mouth against mine felt so good. The tip of her tongue massaged mine lightly as my lips continued their assault upon hers. Everything seemed to stop again, like it was just her and I. Then life seemed to jumpstart itself.
I heard the door to the room open and voices echoing in my ears, but I couldn't seem to pull away from her. I didn't want it to stop, this feeling inside of me that was stirring. I wanted it to last, even if for just another moment. Then I heard........
"Jesus Zac, let the poor girl breathe!"
I pulled away from her quickly and turned to see Isaac and Taylor sitting on the edge of the pool. Taylor was laughing as Isaac just sat there with his mouth open.
"Shit." I whispered quietly.
"Don't let them get to you." Kim whispered into my ear. Once again, her breath tingled my senses. What happened next, I could have died!
"I don't think I want to swim anymore, who knows what's in that water now." Taylor laughed loudly.
"Taylor, that's sick man!" Isaac said, still looking at me. He was staring at me as if I had sprouted another head or something!
I suddenly wished that I could drown myself! Or maybe a hole would open up in the pool and swallow me whole.... anything just to get me out of there. My brothers had this really annoying way of making me feel like I was 11 all over again. I looked at Kim. She was smiling at me still, and I smiled back. I turned back to my brothers, and looked right at Taylor.
"What's the matter, Tay? Jealous?" I asked.
He stopped laughing and looked over at me. Isaac chuckled loudly. Taylor snapped his head at Isaac.
I knew that would shut him up, atleast for now. But I was sure I would hear about it later!
