The Pool
“Cold water feels warm while your freezing.” I said, in a snarky way, looking to my right to see my best friend, Wesley. He had a smug grin on his face knowing damn well what I was talking about. “It’s not my fault your so light” he retorted. I stepped further into the pool, shaking. I still can’t believe he just picked me up and threw me into the freezing cold water, now we’re at the shallow end of the pool, trying to get used to it. I sighed, “I guess, but you didn’t need to throw me.” He snickered, “but where’s the fun in that?” I rolled my eyes, stepping closer to him, using his body heat to warm myself up. He wrapped an arm around my shoulder as I looked up at the sky to see the glistening moon, it was so beautiful. “Isn’t the view beautiful?” I ask wesley, still looking up at the sky. “Yeah, it is.” He said. I moved my focus to his face, but he was already looking at me. “The moon?” I asked quietly, “or me?” He pulled me closer to him, our chests touching. “You, obviously.” He said. I felt blush pricking my cheeks and to keep Wesley from seeing I buried my head in his chest. If he knew I was blushing, he’d make fun of me so much. I mean, yeah, Wesley was really cute and attractive and really hot… and… you get the point, but it’s not like I like him, well, I love him, but it’s purely platonic. I wrapped my arms around his waist, angling my head to look to his face. He smiled down at me then suddenly moved his arms from my shoulders to my waist, picking me up and spinning me around. I squealed in surprise, my heart rate picking up. He quickly ran into the deep end, dunking us both into the water. I screamed, laughing as my head popped out of the water. I gripped Wesley’s strong arms, holding myself up. I looked into his eyes, seeing him laughing seemed to make time stop. My lips parted, and I leaned in closer to him, as he did the same. “Arianna… are we on the same page?” Wesley asked, leaning closer and lining up our lips. I nodded my head and moved my gaze down to his lips, my hands brushing his bare chest. He brought his mouth to mine, in a slow, but quickly intensifying kiss.
