Strangers, friends, lovers

Chapter 14

I got home and looked at my phone to see a text from Peter. 

P : can I come over Ned went home and I'm bored?

Y : yess ofc 

P : see you in a bit :) 

I waited patiently for Peter to come and when he did I greeted him with a kiss "you look so happy" he said and I nodded 

"Yeah just went laser tag with the team" I said and he nodded 

"I'm assuming you won" he said eyebrows raised and I nodded profusely 

"Pietro got his ass handed to him" I boasted winking 

"What do you wanna do?" he asked and I thought for a minute. 

"Wanna go swimming? Tony installed a heated indoor pool and I haven't had a chance to try it out" I suggested

 "I don't have any swimming trunks" Peter said.

"Go nude" I shrugged and he stared at me eyes wide "I'm only joking Pete" I added quickly laughing 

It was a little too soon for that.

"Go ask Steve I'm sure he'll lend you some and I'll change and meet you down" I instructed as Peter nodded and left. 

I went to my closet picked out a nice swimsuit and got changed.

I put some white shorts on as well and tied my hair up into a bun as I walked down to the pool. Peter was already there in some blue swimming trunks with his abs on full display. I took my shorts off as I jumped into the warm pool. 

I swam around a bit and noticed Peter hadn't gotten in "come on it's warm" I said and he reluctantly jumped in, we messed around a little until I swam up into his arms. 

"Hi" I whispered 

"Hi" he replied as I placed my arms around his neck, he grabbed the back of my legs hoisting me up as I wrapped them around his waist. 

His hands then made their way next to my face, he brushed a strand of my wet hair behind my ear that had escaped my bun. I watched as water droplets slowly rolled down his face and neck, taking in all of him.

We were both a little shy, him more so than me but this felt natural. I leaned down as I kissed his lips softly for a split second I stared into his eyes and he returned the stare before kissing me this time, our lips moved in sync and I grabbed the sides of his face deepening the gesture further.  

His hands brushed up and down my hips before resting on my lower back rubbing gentle circles with his thumbs. 

My lips felt raw and swollen yet nothing in me made me want to pull away.

A blush was very evident on his face as well as mine. 

Someone cleared their throat which scared both Peter and me resulting in him dropping me. I swam back up staring at Steve, embarrassed who had his arms crossed  stood at the entrance of the pool. 

"It's late go to bed" he said walking out, he walked back in poking his head into the room again "in separate rooms" he clarified leaving for definite. 

 I looked at Peter and we both burst out laughing because of the embarrassment of getting caught. We dried off with towels before I made my way back up to my room and Peter made his way into one of the spare bedrooms.
