the minor details

don't even think about it

i adjusted my sunglasses and shifted a little on the pool float i was on. i felt completely peaceful, without a care in the world. fleetwood mac was playing softly on a speaker. it was maybe four pm and i was still at gwens house, because i didn't want to go home, and she liked my company (though she'd never admit it). she has a pool and once i saw it i insisted we swim. she lent me a bathing suit and now i was lying on a pool float in the big pool while gwen laid on a tanning chair. i was trying to push any thoughts about going back to school tomorrow out of my head, but it was proving to be impossible. thoughts about what our relationship would turn into once we were brought back to reality plagued my mind. i groaned and rolled off the float, and into the cold water. i held my breath and sunk deeper and deeper, letting my whole body go limp. i eventually ran out of air and swam back up to the surface. i pulled myself up and out of the pool and walked over to gwen, who looked like she was sleeping. she looked ethereal, with her black two piece that hugged all her curves and her golden blonde hair strewn over the chair messily. she was seriously beautiful when she slept, i don't think i've ever seen any one more perfect. i slowly approached her and smiled to myself as i as laid down next to her on the small chair. her eyes fluttered open and she groaned as she sat up. she tried to shove me away but i just hugged her.

"you're wet sara, get off me" she whined. i ignored her and hugged onto her tighter. she finally stopped resisting and laid back onto the chair with me.

"are you always this childish?" she asked.

"it's just my personality, you don't like it?"

"i think i would like it more if it made you act older, and less like a doofus" i feigned a hurt reaction and she rolled her eyes and held back a laugh.

"you're a baby" she mocked. i snuggled closer to her and said,

"i'm your baby!" she gagged and rolled her eyes.

"no pet names, for the love of god no pet names" she groaned. i laughed at her disgusted face.

"get up i wanna show you something" she said as she sat up. i followed her as she walked to the edge of the pool and pointed at the water.

"what did you want to show me?" i asked.

"look closer" she said, still pointing to the rippling water. i bent down a little and squinted my eyes, and i didn't expect what happened next. gwen shoved me into the water and i didn't have time to stop myself. i fell into the water with a splash and immediately popped back up with an annoyed expression. i flipped her off while she was bent over laughing.

"you're a bitch" i said.

"you fell for it!" she said, still laughing hard.

"help me up!" i whined as i held out a hand from the water for her to take. she was still laughing as she took my hand. i yanked her hand towards me and she gasped as she fell into the water as well. now i was the one laughing while gwen glared at me through blonde strands of her now soaked hair.

"that was not cool" she said with a pissed expression.

"you fell for it" i mimicked her earlier words. a smile slowly graced her face as her gaze locked on me.

"i like having you here" she said.

"i like being here, but i think i'm getting attached" i admitted.

"is that a bad thing?" she asked with an arched brow. she wrapped her arms around my neck and stared into my eyes waiting for a response.

"possibly. what if i'm falling too fast? or my feelings for you aren't as strong as yours?"
