Alfred rolled his eyes as he watched them swimming around when his eyes landed on Kaitlyn. She wasn't swimming, Just sitting at the edge standing at the edge of the pool with the lower part of her body immersed in the water. He found himself liking the way her hair was partially wet. Rafael said something in her ear and she laughed. He bit his lip at the sight.

"Let's play Volleyball" Katherine suggested

"Do you have a net?" Justin asked

"We obviously do. You want to play? Or water ballon toss"

"What's that?" Rafael asked

"We will be divided into two teams and water balloons will be tossed back and forth" she explained "the game will continue until the balloon breaks and the person who drops it gets eliminated"

"It sounds fun" Kaitlyn said and looked at Troy whom unlike the others had a long sleeve tee shirt and trunks on while the Justin and Rafael were half naked, Alfred had a singlet. Why is he always covered up?, she asked herself, watching his muscles flex as he tossed the towel he was holding aside.

"Okay then I guess" Troy said

"Twice as wet" Rafael yelled which earned him a smack on the head from Troy. "I'm on the same team as Kaitlyn" he swam over to her and they do a high five

"Then I'll be in Katherine's team" Justin said and swam to her

"Why are we divided?" Katherine asked "I want to play with Kai"

"Cause you two are the only girls" Rafael explained with an eye roll as if it was so obvious

"Al should be in Kaitlyn's team. It will be great for their bonding" Justin said and earned dirty looks from both Alfred and Kaitlyn.

"No way" Kaitlyn said and watched as Alfred walked towards the pool.

"I'm not even playing the game" he said with a passive look on his face

"It's decided then all teams have equal number of players" Troy said as he swam towards the Katherine's side. She pressed a button at the side of the pool and Luciana appeared

"We'd like three water balloons" she said and Luciana smiled and went without questioning.

"You keep all those stuffs at home?" Rafael asked and she gave him a 'yeah and so?' look

"Yes we do. But secretly" she added a grin at the end. "My sister and I like playing when my cousins come over"

"That's nice" he kept quiet for a minute "how old is your sister?"

"Rafael!" The boys yelled and he raised his hands in defeat.

"I just wanted to know her better"

"Yeah sure" Kaitlyn said with an eye roll and Rafael smiled.

"I don't remember ever agreeing to this game" Alfred spoke again, sounding bored.

"We don't remember asking for your opinion" Troy spat back and Alfred dipped his legs into the pool and glanced at Kaitlyn who was talking to Rafael with a smile on her face. Only the top part of her body was still visible. He bit the inside of his cheek as Luciana came back with the water balloons.

"Okay guys try not to lose cause I'm the queen of this game" Katherine bragged as she took the balloons from Luciana

"Let your balloon do the talking" Rafael said and they looked at him "okay that came out wrong" Kaitlyn smiled as Alfred finally got into the water and joined her side.

"Okay let's start" Justin yelled.

****
"Are you okay?" Alfred asked Kaitlyn as he helped her straighten up. He helped her take hair out of her face and mouth and she bit back a smile.
