5,000 Miles

Goodbye Argentina

10:00AM

I woke up and looked down at what I was wearing. I still had the same clothes on as last night. I groaned and got out of bed to get changed.

I was going through my suitcase and saw a swimsuit I had packed. I looked at it for a second and realized Ivan had a pool and I haven't even been in it yet. I smiled to myself and grabbed the swimsuit. I got undressed and put it on.

Ivan was still sleeping, and I didn't want to wake him, so I quietly walked out into the backyard. I shut the door and walked towards the pool. I sat down by the pool edge and let my legs fall into the water. The view from here was amazing. The beautiful morning sky mixed with the beautiful city of Santa Fe.

After a few more minutes of admiring the view, I got into the pool. I loved the feeling of being in water. I don't know why. It just makes me feel so... free. I held my breath and went under water. I came back up and rubbed my eyes. I've never understood how people swim underwater with their eyes open.

There was a slight breeze which made this even more enjoyable. The pool has to be one of my favorite places. Whether I'm alone or with a group of people, I always manage to have a great time.

I was getting lost in my own thoughts, just floating on my back when I heard the back door open. I looked over and saw a messy-haired Ivan walk slowly towards the edge of the pool.

"What are you doing out here?" He asked rubbing his eyes. "I'm just going for a swim. To just clear my mind and relax." I swam up to the edge.

"Mind if I join?" He asked already taking off his shirt. "Well this is your pool after all so I guess not." I chuckled. "Watch out." He walked all the way back to the front door and sprinted forward. He cannonballed into the water, causing a huge splash.

"How graceful." I said as he resurfaced. He laughed and swam up to me. His hand went to the side of my face as he stared into my eyes.

"You're so beautiful. How did I ever pull you?" He said. "Because you're more attractive than you think." I smiled. "You have pretty privilege."

He chuckled. "Yeah look who's talking." I wrapped my arms around his neck and just looked into his eyes. I admired all of his features. His hair, his eyelashes, his eyebrow slit, his nose ring, his precious smile, his earrings, his chain, and so much more.

"I love you so much." I smiled. "I love you more." He wrapped his arms around my waist. "Impossible." I scoffed. He pulled away from me with a daring face. "Wanna bet?"

His hands reached for my lower body and he lifted me up, onto his shoulders. "Damn, you're strong." I said. "You're also a skinny queen." He said. "Never say that again." I joked.

"So what are you gonna do no-" I got cut off by Ivan shoving me backwards. I fell off his shoulders and straight into the water. I came back up coughing up water. "Oh you're so fucking dead." I said.

His face filled with fear as he swam to the edge and got out of the pool. I followed him and chased him around the backyard. Once I finally caught up to him, I ran at him and pushed him into the pool, bringing me along with him.

We both resurfaced and started laughing. "Holy shit did you used to play football or something?" He laughed. "There's no way I actually hurt you that bad." I laughed. "Yeah there's definitely gonna be a bruise there tomorrow." He said pointing to his side.

There I was again, staring into his eyes. "You're like actually so attractive." I chuckled. He smiled as his hands found my waist, pulling me closer.

"Is this the part where we kiss?" I joked, trying not to laugh. He chuckled and moved one hand up to my face and the other one to my lower back. His hand moved my face forward, connecting our lips.
