Different Perspective! Chapter 6!
5 minutes later, Meggie was sitting on the edge of the pool. "Aren't you going in?" Nick asked, from behind her."Nah, I just wanted to relax first. Ya wanna go in the hot tub?" she asked.
"Yeah, sure," he said, helping her up.
They walked over there. Meggie looked over ther, and realized Nick was not bare chested. "Nick, why don't you take off your wife beater?" Meggie chuckled.
"Umm...well, alright. Don't make fun of me though, k?" he said, like a little boy.
"Why would I make fun of you?" she asked, surprised that he even asked that.
"Because, well, some people make fun of my weight," he said, quietly.
She smiled at him. "Don't worry, I won't," she assured him.
"Alright," he said, taking off his wife beater. He stood there, waiting for her reaction. When he didn't get one, he gave a sigh of relief.
He slipped in the hot tub with her. "So, y astill single?" he asked.
"No, when you were upstairs, the life guard and I hooked up," she said, sarcastically.
"He's got good taste," he said, moving closer.
Meggie ignored his comment. "What about you? A guy as good looking as you must have about 50 girlfriends," she said.
"Nope, not me. It's a good thing, too. She might have gotten mad when she found out I was falling for another girl," he said, looking sweetly at her.
"Oh yeah, that's a shame," Meggie said.
"Hey, do you wanna go skinny diping?" Nick asked.
"No!" she said.
"Why not?" he asked.
"Alright, changed my mind. Give me your trunks, and I'll meet you in there," she said.
"I may be blond, but I'm not stupid," he said, laughing.
"Oh damn. I was hoping you'd fall for it," she said.
"So...umm, don't you hate this? The ackward silence, I mean?" Nick asked.
"No, I enjoy it. It's romantic," Meggie said.
"It is?" Nick asked, surprised.
"Yeah, I think it is," Meggie said.
"Oh, alright," Nick said, confused.
"I guess we should be going up to bed. It is pretty late."
"Yeah, I guess," Nick agreed. They got out, dripping wet. Nick grabbed a towel and wrappd it around Meggie, rubbing her arms to make her warm. He grabbed his towel, and wrapped it around himself.
