Dads Best Friend

Chapter 23

Today is the last day of the two week trip.

Over the last couple of days we just have been relaxing and enjoying the little time we have left.

My mom and dad decided for us to go get lunch and swim for the rest of the day, so thats what we do.

Heading to a little diner a couple minutes away from the cabin is what we decided on.

Taking our seats in the back we wait for our waiter to come take our drink order.

Me and Archer haven't done anything since the night the storm ended.

Which is perfectly fine!

But we only have one more day left and who knows when the next time I will get to see him.

"Can I take your drink order miss?" The waiter says staring at me.

Snapping out of my thoughts I swallow hard and whisper out softly the word water.

He nods his head and leaves to get the drink.

Looking up from the table I see Archer
watching me with his eyebrows scrunch together.

I give him a small smile and open the menu that is In front of me.

Looking at the menu I read through it but have to go back and do it again because my mind didn't comprehend anything.

When the waiter comes back he places the drinks In front of everybody and asks what everybody wants to eat.

Taking everybody's order he finally looks at me.

"Can I get a chicken finger plate."

He nods his head and asks if that was all.

I nod my head and hand him the menu with a smile.

I fill a vibration run through me from my phone that's In my pocket.

Pulling it out I see a text from Archer and a older text from MK.

Opening hers first I see a picture of a navy blue dress that is about knee high, with the caption: Going on a date tonight. Is this dress ok for going to a concert.

Replying that it is beautiful and definitely, I open up Archers.

Archer: Are you ok?

Me: Yea

I look up and over beside me to see him reading what I sent.

Archer: Are you sure, you look to be thinking about something a lot for the last couple of days.

Me: yeah I'm sure. I promise.

He nods his head at his phone a puts it away.

Second later the waiter brings us our food and leaves the check.

We eat our food and talk to each other, but I still can't get out my mind that today is the last day that I might get to see him everyday.

And I'm gonna miss it.

                       *****************

Taking my shorts and shirt off I automatically jump into the 8 feet side.

Popping back up seconds later I push back my hair from my face and smile up at the sky.

I love swimming.

I haven't been able to swim because it has been cold, but thank god summer is coming.

Floating around the pool I hear a couple more splashes then hands on my hips.

Suddenly Im lifted from the water and thrown a couple feet away.

Popping back up I narrow my eyes at Archer, who has a smirk on his lips.

Diving under I grab his legs and pull making them come out from underneath him.

He falls backwards going under the water.

Laughing I come back above water seeing my dad jump in with my mom in his arms.

Floating on my back I see Archer watching me with a smile on his face.

"What?" I whisper once I float closer to him.

He shakes his head with a smile.

"I just like seeing you happy, I'm glad you feeling better than this morning."

"What do you mean. I told you that I was fine."

He comes closer to me pulling a piece of my hair that was floating in the water.

"I know when you lying Becca."

" No you don't." I laugh

He walks closer and bends down low to whisper in my ear. "You have a tell, your nose twitches when you lie."

He pulls back to look at me but before I can say anything back he swims away.

My nose does not twitch when I lie!

Right?

I've never noticed.

We swim for over two hours until our fingers start to prune.

Everybody gets out the pool and goes to the bathroom to change back into their dry cloths.

Once we've all changed we placed our clothes into a white trash bag and puts them into the back of the car.

Getting into the car we head to the cabin and all of us take a quick shower before starting dinner.
