My Crush's Roommate

Chapter 9

Taylor's POV:

I remove my glasses and set it on top of a chair.

Then, I put on some music to keep me company since I was the only one at the pool area.

(Play song):

I pull on my goggles over my small head and dive my body in the pool.

The cool water chilled my body for a moment.

The water was so clear that I could see my arms moving gracefully.

I rose up to breathe when suddenly-

"AH!"

Julia's friend was standing at the edge of the pool, staring down at me. "You like Selena Gomez? Well I guess that's noted in my journal,"

I pull myself up and wrap a towel around me, pushing the pause button on my pink radio.

(Stop song)

"How did you know I was here?"

"Julia told me,"

I nodded. He sighs. "Look, I just wanted to say... I... I'm sorry,"

What?

"For...?" I squinted my eyes out of confusion.

"For yesterday. About... you know... how I scared you last night,"

"Oh," I laugh. "That's nothing to apologize about,"

I extend my pale hand. "I'm Taylor,"

He takes my hand and smiles. "Justin,"

"Justin. I like that... Justin Bieber," I joke. I laugh. He frowns.

"What about you? Taylor Swift,"

I shrug. "Fair enough," We laugh.

I couldn't help but chuckle about the funny thing that our parents name us common names.

"I wonder if Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber actually dated, maybe once...?"

I shrug. "Who knows?"

Justin shoves his hands into his jean pockets. "So... I heard that there was this good ice cream shop and-"

"Yeah, of course!"

I interrupt, knowing that he was gonna ask me to come with him. "Great!"

"Let me just change into some clothes, okay?"

He nods.
