Katrina

After lunch, our parents suggested to go swimming, since it's quite warm. Elijah agreed, they all looked at me.

"Okay. I'll be back then." I say, getting up from my seat.

My mom nods. I walked on inside and headed straight for the front door. Elijah stops me.

"See you in what 10 minutes or less?"

"Yup, see you." I say and walk out the door, heading towards my house. I unlocked my door, walking inside and shutting it closed, I locked it. You can never be too safe. I headed on upstairs to my room. Now, just gotta find a bathing suit. I pulled out couple of different ones, I settle on a simple black, daisy print one piece.

Making sure that the curtains are closed, I changed out of my clothes and changed into the bathing suit plus my swim shorts.. I just simply don't feel comfortable being without them, soo I prefer shorts over bathing suits. After, changing into my swimming clothes, I put on my "Guns 'N' Roses" oversized shirt over.

I grabbed the towel from the storage closet in the hallway and headed on downstairs, out the door, locking it. I walked over to their house. I knocked and walked in. Elijah coming straight downstairs, just as I entered.

"Hey, cool shirt" he says.

"Thanks." I say, smiling.

"You got your towel?" He asks me.

I look at him in a way that says "boy you dumb?"  I pointed to a towel hanging over my shoulder, he grins.

"Alright, let's go then."

I nod, following him back outside. As we stepped out, I noticed that none of our families are here. I turn to Elijah, him answering my question, way before I could get the chance to ask.

"They've moved to the lounge area inside."

"Ah, okay." I say, setting the towel on the lounge chair.

He removes his shirt, setting it down on the other lounge chair, plus his towel. He looks at me and dives into the water.

Show off...

He pops out of the water, looking at me. "You coming in?"

"Uh huh.." I reply. I take off my shirt, setting it down, I run and jump into the water. The cold water instantly cooling me off.

"The water is nice and cool" I say.

"Yeah, it is. Cute bathing suit, but what's up with the shorts?"

"Simple answer, I never go without shorts over a bathing suit." I answer.

"Ah, okay. Makes sense." He says. I nod and dive under the water, Elijah following my actions, he does the same thing. I stuck my tongue at him, he did the same. I rolled my eyes. I'm okay at holding my breath for some time under water.

Elijah was fooling around and showing off by doing tricks and flips under the water. I only shook my head, eventually, I went up for air. He did the same.

"You good?" He asks me.

"Yeah, just needed to catch my breath." I respond. He nods. After some time, of being in the water, we decided to use the diving board.. just having fun.

We both jumped at the same time, he grabbed my hand and pulled me closer under the water.. I looked at him confused, he wrapped his arms around and pulled me into a kiss. On instinct, I wrapped my arms around his neck, as we shared an underwater kissing moment.
