"i have an idea"

...
"no", i reply and vinnie's face falls into a frown. i raise and eyebrow and shake my head. "oh come on why?" he whines, sitting up. "we can't go swimming at almost 12 midnight vinnie! who knows what lurking at the bottom of that lake anyways", he chuckles at my words.

"sure we can! its probably not even cold! see?" vinnie stands up and sticks his hand in the water and immediately shudders. i roll my eyes and laugh. "okay maybe it is a tad cold, but you'll warm up, i promise" he tries to persuade me, but there's no way i'm getting in there with him.

"even if i did consider it, i have nothing to wear" i fold my arms across my chest, leaning on my back foot. i watch as vinnie pulls his shirt over his head, revealing his tattooed chest and arms. i struggle to keep my jaw from dropping to the floor as it gapes open slightly. my eyes wander down his upper body as his large muscles flex with every move he makes.

"what?" he blurts out, walking closer to me. that stupid smirk has returned, and i want nothing more than to slap it off his face. "nothing", i feel my cheeks start to deepen in shade and i look down, to avoid any remarks or snide comments. vinnie places his arm in front of me, his t-shirt is scrunched up in his hand and i look down at it.

"you can wear my t-shirt. just please?" he pleads, and i have no choice but to give in. i also kind of want to swim with vinnie, it could be fun, despite the semi-cold water. "fine" i grab the t-shirt and smile.

i stand in front of him waiting for him to turn around to let me change. he looks into my eyes, dumbfounded. "uhh, privacy", i say. i watch as he chuckles at my words before turning around. i quickly take my sweatshirt off, revealing my plain black bra. my chest is of regular size, not too big or small, which i am grateful for as i tend to be insecure about a lot of places. apparently my body isn't ugly, in emily's words, but i think it is. its just...plain. nothing's special about it. i've always wanted the model typical feminine body, hourglass waist, slim legs and arms but i was granted with the square cereal box. thanks, mom.

i would love to see it from another point of view, that isn't my own eyes from the mirror in my bedroom. maybe my opinion on it would change then, but as of know, i don't think so.

pulling me out of my peripheral thoughts, i hear vinnie clear his throat, his back still faced to me.

"you done?", he questions. i can inwardly see a smile forming at his lips. i dont even realise i have been standing there for almost a minute not doing anything. "oh, not yet" i tell vinnie, to which he laughs. i then put his t-shirt on which reaches the middle of my thighs. i take my skirt and shoes off leaving my in a long t-shirt dress type of look. "done", i tuck a piece of my hair behind my ear before he turns around to face me. his eyes scan over my body as they widen, causing me to feel a tad uncomfortable but i know he has good intentions nonetheless. "you erm-- it suits you" he says with a nervous smile.

i nod at his words in thanks and he goes to unbutton his pants. i have to force myself not to stare at him as he undresses so i walk closer to the bank. i dip my foot in and wiggle my toes around. the water is cold against my skin, and i shiver a little before turning to see vinnie.

he looks at me, only wearing a tight pair of boxers. i wonder where he gets his confidence from. i almost choke on my own breath as he runs towards the bank and jumps into the water. a loud splash can be heard as he upsurges. his hair is matted down to his head as water droplets fall from his body. the water reaches up to his chest, so it should reach my shoulders if i'm standing. i sit down at the edge, closing my legs to avoid vinnie seeing my underwear. he moves closer to me, watching my every move as i finally submerge myself into the water. it's not as deep as i thought, it reaches up to my shoulders as i predicted. a smile forms at vinnie's lips as his face softens. the water ripples as he walks closer to me, then splashing water my way. i scream and push it towards him, causing him to stumble back. we both laugh and continue to splash one another.

vinnie stops, his eyes scan over my face and his face falls. i am taken by surprise as he trudges closer, our faces inches apart. i instantly feel a wave of ardour engulf me. i feel a droplet of water make its way down my face. a shaky breath passes my lips as i watch his eyes. i see them trail the droplet. they go from my hairline, to my cheeks and near my lips. his eyes linger there for a moment before his eyes  continue trailing the droplet as it falls off my face. his eyes instantly flick back to look at my lips. i bite the corner of my lip and watch his eyes follow my every movement.

"i can't take this anymore" he groans.

"what are you talking about vin--" i start.

before i can finish, he gently pulls me closer by my waist before smashing our lips together.
