Wednesday's POV
I go sit on the couch after calling my mother. She seemed happy enough not to worry about her. She said she'd calm my father down, he doesn't like the idea of me or Pugsley hanging out with the opposite gender alone. So I might have hurt him or made him nervous. It wasn't like we were romantic. It just got late and I was far too tired to go home. Right? "Hey Wednesday", Xavier says. I simply look at him so he knows he has the floor right now. "Can you swim?" , he asks. Random question but the answer was actually embarrassing. I really couldn't but it never worried me. I did notice the huge pool in the back of the house but I hoped he wasn't asking to swim. "No, actually", he looks almost shocked. "Oh, I was going to ask if you wanted to go for a late night swim, its usually calm and the water is sorta chilly but soothing", he says. At this point I don't think he really heard me say I couldn't swim. "I can't swim remember!" , I say forcefully. I'll admit, I'm embarrassed and it shows. He looks at me apologetic. "I can teach you, we may not be able to tonight but I can teach you tomorrow morning. If that's ok with you?" , he says. Hes wasting his time on me. Is that such a bad thing though?
Xavier's POV
She so quiet. Yet shes so pretty when shes thinking. Gorgeous honestly. "Well?..." , I say. "Ok", she doesn't sound to sure but she said ok and I don't wanna push her. "If you want I can get the guest room ready? ", no response. "Or.. You could lay with me?, I'll take the side of the couch you don't want", I add. Still no response." sure", she says. Yay now im happy I won't be alone.
