It was mid-afternoon. Alex and Ethan decided to take a mini vacation and headed to a resort near their town, and they happened to have the best pool. They spent their whole day there, renting out a hotel room for the both of them so they can just get away from reality.

"I can't do this Ethan." Alex said, looking down below her. 

"I know you can do this, Alex. Conquer your fears, okay?" Ethan muttered against her neck, placing a small kiss right below her chin.

"What if something happens? So many things can go wrong. I might die today." 

"Don't say that. Please, I can't ever imagine losing you."

"I'm sorry but you know how I feel about high diving boards. You're literally plunging into the deep depths of water! What if you drown. Oh, please don't let me drown."

"You'll be fine, okay? If you dive I'll buy you anything you want that I can afford." Ethan said, cracking a smile.

"But-"

"Can you two please hurry up? We don't have all day for your stupid love festival." A person screamed out from behind the couple. Ethan and Alex smiled and Alex looked down below.

"It's now or never." She muttered.

"That was fantastic!" Alex said, wrapping herself in a towel. 

"See, I told you it would be worth it."

"I'm wondering why the water was so warm. Imagine we were swimming in a pool full of pee?" Alex said, snickering to herself. She knew Ethan hated thinking of that.

"Gross." Ethan said, shivering, "Anyways, since I promised you a great surprise, what do you wanna do?" 

Alex winked and grabbed her purse. "Why don't you come and find out?" She took out the towel that was wrapped around her now dry body and held onto it. 

Ethan eyed her, up and down. Of course he had seen Alex this way already. They just went into the pool. Although, there was something so alluring to him about her. 

Maybe it was the wet hair and the way her bikini hugged her body features in all of the right places. He groaned to himself.

He walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Why do you make me feel this way?" Ethan said, growling a bit.

"How do I make you feel?" Alex whispered.

"I don't know what it is but my little friend down there is a bit excited." 

Alex broke free of his grasp and chuckled, glancing at his shorts. 

"Have fun walking around with that." She said, grabbing the towels and dashing off. Ethan tried to cover himself up, but he got many stares from people as he walked by. A woman even had her children ask what was happening with him because his pants extended outwards, and it was a bit more extended than he had expected.
