The late afternoon sun bathed the backyard in a golden glow, reflecting off the pool's shimmering water. It was TikTok Monday, and the Amp squad had decided to film some fun water challenges. Everyone was gathered around the pool, ready for the next video idea, but Andrew's attention was fixated on Lexi. She looked stunning in her black bikini, her hair pulled back into a high ponytail, strands already damp from their earlier splash wars. Her laughter filled the air, lighting up Andrew's heart like a spark.Andrew couldn't help it. His eyes were drawn to her like a magnet, and every time he saw her in that swimsuit, he felt a pang of possessiveness mixed with admiration. He sidled up to her, unable to resist the pull. As he reached her side, he leaned in close, his lips brushing her ear. "You look so damn good," he whispered, his voice thick with desire. Lexi glanced at him with a smirk, her eyes twinkling with mischief.
"Andrew," she warned playfully, keeping her voice low. "Behave."
He grinned, letting his hand brush against her lower back, feeling the smoothness of her skin. "I can't help it, Lex. You're just too tempting," he murmured, his fingers trailing up her spine. He felt her shiver under his touch, and the reaction sent a thrill through him.
"Andrew," she whispered again, this time with a bit more urgency. They were surrounded by their friends, after all. But the way she looked at him, the way her lips parted slightly, only made him more desperate to be closer to her.
Unable to resist, he leaned in again. "I want you," he said, his voice low and husky. He saw look her cheeks flush, her eyes widening a little. The corners of her lips curled into a smile, but she quickly schooled her expression into one of feigned annoyance.
""If you're going to keep teasing me, then do something about it," she challenged. Her eyes sparkled with the dare, and Andrew felt his heart race in response.
"Hey, that's my line," he grinned, and with that, he took her hand and pulled her towards the deeper end of the pool, away from the others. Once they were out of sight, he turned to her, his eyes dark with longing. Without another word, he pulled her close, capturing her lips in a heated kiss.
Lexi responded eagerly, wrapping her arms around his neck. Her body pressed against his, and Andrew groaned softly as he felt her legs wrap around his waist. The kiss deepened, turning hungry, as if both were trying to make up for the weeks they had been apart, for the misunderstandings and the distance.
They were lost in their own world, oblivious to everything else, until a voice cut through the haze. "Hey, lovebirds!" Dom's voice rang out, causing both of them to jump slightly. "Get over here! We need you for the next challenge!"
They pulled apart, both breathing heavily. Andrew couldn't help but laugh, pressing a quick kiss to Lexi's forehead before they reluctantly swam back to join the others. His heart was still pounding, his mind lingering on the feel of her in his arms.

Later that evening, the sun began to set, casting a beautiful orange and pink hue across the sky. The pool was quiet now, the challenges over, and everyone was relaxing with drinks and snacks. Lexi sat on the deck, needing a moment to herself. She loved the view from up here, the way the sky stretched out endlessly above her, the cool breeze against her skin. She sat down, pulling her knees to her chest and gazing at the horizon.
A few moments later, she heard footsteps behind her, and she didn't need to turn to know it was Andrew. He sat down beside her, close enough that their shoulders touched. He had brought a blanket, which he draped over both of them.
"Cold?" he asked softly, his eyes scanning her face.
She nodded slightly. "A little."
He pulled off his hoodie, leaving him in just his t-shirt, and handed it to her. "Here, wear this."
Lexi smiled, taking the hoodie and slipping it over her head. It smelled like him, a mix of cologne and the fresh, slightly salty scent of the pool. She loved that smell. "Thanks," she said, pulling it around herself and snuggling into its warmth.
Andrew grinned, leaning back on his hands. They sat in comfortable silence for a few minutes, watching as the sun dipped below the horizon. The sky was now a deep purple, stars beginning to appear one by one. Lexi turned to look at Andrew, her heart swelling with affection.
"I missed you," she said softly, her voice barely above a whisper.
Andrew looked at her, his eyes softening. "I missed you too, Lex." He reached out, brushing a strand of hair away from her face. His fingers lingered on her cheek, and she leaned into his touch.
Their faces were inches apart, and in that moment, all the uncertainty, the hurt, and the fear from the past month seemed to fade away. Lexi leaned in, slowly this time, and then closed the space between them. Andrew responded immediately, his hand moving to the back of her neck, deepening the kiss. Her fingers slid up his chest, feeling the firmness of his muscles through his t-shirt.
Andrew's lips left hers, trailing kisses along her jawline, down to her neck. Lexi closed her eyes. She felt so alive, every nerve in her body tingling with his touch. She moved closer, pressing her body against his, her hands slipping under his shirt to feel his skin.
A voice shattered the tranquility. "Andrew!" Brent's voice called from below, breaking the spell. "Can you come help me with something?"
Andrew pulled back with a groan, resting his forehead against Lexi's. "Perfect timing," he muttered, his voice laced with frustration.
Lexi giggled softly, pressing a quick kiss to his lips. "Go," she said, her voice still breathless. "We'll finish this later."
Andrew grinned, stealing one more kiss before climbing to his feet. "Count on it," he said, winking at her. Left the deck, leaving Lexi sitting there, wrapped in his hoodie, her heart racing.
As she watched him go, she realized how deep her feelings for him were. She loved him, truly loved everything about him. And despite everything that had happened, she knew he loved her too.
With a contented sigh, she looked back up at the sky, her mind replaying the kiss, the feel of his hands on her, the sound of his voice. She was hopelessly, undeniably, and completely in love with Andrew Davila.
