bullets and bouquets

"Sadie!" Bella drunkenly calls. It's 4 PM and the girls have all been drinking since noon, "Come here!"

Sadie, Finn, Dacre, and Natalia walk out to the pool having finished business for the day. Music plays over the speakers and Robin dances on top of the waterfall that flows into the pool.

"Robby, what are you doing?" Natalia laughs.

"Dancing for you, baby!" the girl jumps from the waterfall into the pool. Her girlfriend just face-palms.

"We leave them alone for a couple of hours," Dacre jokes about the girlfriends, although Briar is still pretty mellow, even when drunk.

"Sadie!" Bella calls from the pool, "come in here!"

"One second, let me change," she answers. She turns to the other three, "guess it's time for some drinks."

"It's five o'clock somewhere," Finn jokes as he loosens his tie. The four head back inside to change. Meanwhile, Sabrina and Robin have a cannonball competition. They jump off from the top of the waterfall into the pool, sending waves over Bella's head.

"Bella! Come try!" Sabrina says.

"I can't," Bella laughs, "I can't."

"Yes you can, girl! Come on!" the blonde urges.

"No, no. I really can't," the brunette says, "I'm afraid of heights."

"Oh, boo!" Sabrina laughs as she jumps in again, "I bet Sadie would catch you."

"No, no. That's embarrassing," Bella laughs.

"What's embarrassing?" Sadie asks. The brunette turns in the pool, catching her redhead in a two-piece swimsuit, her abs showing. Bella's eyes grow wide, the other night she had a one-piece on and she's never seen her abs out in broad daylight.

"Uh..."

Sabrina notices Bella's blush, "She's afraid to jump off the waterfall and I told her that you would catch her."

"Sabrina!" Bella turns to the blonde. When she's not facing her girlfriend and her girlfriend's abs, she can speak.

"Oh, I'll catch you, Darling," Sadie says nonchalantly. Bella turns back and is stuck in a trance, "Unless you don't want me to."

Before she can speak, Sabrina answers, "Oh no, she does. She's just nervous."

The blonde drags the girl out of the pool while Sadie gracefully dives in.

"Sabrina... I can't believe you," Bella whispers while the girl drags her over to the top of the waterfall.

"I was saving you... I can see the drool coming down your chin when you look at her abs," the blonde smirks, "Okay, Bella... ready?"

The girl looks down at the pool. It's not a far drop, about a four-foot drop into a nine-foot deep pool. Sadie waits at the bottom, her arms out and ready to catch Bella.

"Oh my god..." the girl whispers, "Um, Sadie I think I'm gonna not jump."

"You can do it, cara mia, I'll catch you," Sadie smiles.

"Sweet Jesus..." Bella whispers. She plugs her nose and jumps off. She shrieks as Sadie catches her body when it hits the water. The girl comes up, holding onto the redhead, "Oh my god."

"You did it!" the mafia boss cheers. Bella smiles but turns up to see Sabrina still standing at the edge.

"I did... but I will not be doing it again!" she shouts to Sabrina who laughs. Sadie swims her over to the shallow end, where Bella can touch.
