I drove back to my apartment and found familiar cars in the parking lot. Ian, Anthony, Sohinki, Lasercorn, and Joven were all sitting around the living room, "Wes!" Joven exclaimed, "Come join us."
"I have plans-" he jumped to his feet and turned to face me.
"Plans?" Everyone turned to look at me.
"Yes." I entered my room and shut the door behind me, locking it. I changed into a pair of red swim trunks, then grabbed a towel and extra clothes.
"You're going swimming?" Ian asked excitedly, "I wanna come!"
"Me too!" Everyone joined in saying. I sighed loudly and grabbed my phone out of the pocket of my swim shorts.
After getting an 'okay' from Steph I allowed them to tag along. Everyone drove to change, then met back at Joven and I's apartment. We divided into two cars and I led them to Steph's apartment complex.
I parked my car next to Steph's and Ian parked next his to mine, "Please act normal." I told the people in my car and glared at Joven. I stepped out of my car and they followed me towards the front door to Steph's apartment. She opened the door wearing a small red bikini, "I brought a few extra-." I stopped as my eyes quickly moved down her body. I looked up to see her blushing. She covered her flat stomach with a towel and I glanced over my shoulder to see everyone watching me with smirks on their lips, "They decided to tag along." I said awkwardly as she exited her apartment and stepped towards me. The towel was the only thing separating us as she leaned behind her and shut the door.
The group split and I followed her to the front, "Swimmings free, but if we all want to rent a racquet for tennis it may cost a little." She said over her shoulder as she led the line of people towards the pool area. As she walked in front of me I couldn't help my eyes from watching her.
I felt someone tap my shoulder and quickly glanced back to see Sohinki, "Could you be more obvious?" He laughed quietly and Steph turned around and met my eyes. She smiled and opened the gate to the pool area.
We each claimed a chair and stacked our belongings on it before entering the pool. Her lightly tanned skin was accented by the red bikini. She walked into the pool and dunked her head under the water, making all of her blonde hair turn a light brown color. She swiped it out of her face, then swam closer to me, "Let's play a game." Anthony shouted. My head snapped to look in his direction. I turned back to look at Steph, but she was looking at Anthony.
He stood up and she was still looking at him. I felt physically inferior to him. His chest and arm muscles were bigger and stronger then mine, "What game?" I heard Steph ask. Her voice distracted me and I stopped comparing myself to Anthony.
"We can play Marco Polo," Ian said with a shrug.
We swam for almost two hours, then Steph's phone began to ring. My eyes lingered on her as she walked out of the pool towards her phone. She looked like a model. Before she turned to face us I tore my eyes away and looked down at the water, slightly blushing, "Looks like we may have to call it quits early." She said as she walked to the edge of the pool and sat on the concrete next to me. She dangled her feet in the water, "Someone at the studio needs to talk to us." I immediately began to hold back a smile.
Everyone crawled out of the pool slowly and I noticed Anthony stop in front of Steph. He was floating in the water a few feet in front of her as she sat on the side. They were both laughing as he moved closer to her and held onto the edge of the pool.
I felt a feeling of jealousy slowly rising inside of me. I turned around when I felt someone tap my shoulder, "Wes, you okay?" Ian asked with a light laugh and I nodded. I collected my clothes and glanced over my shoulder to see Steph pushing herself to her feet.
"Everyone can take turns changing in my place," Stephanie said loudly as she walked over to her bag. We walked back to her apartment. She opened the back gate, then moved to unlock the front door. She told everyone where the two bathrooms were as she stepped back outside. Joven and Ian walked in first.
Once everyone had changed they all squished into the back seat of Ian's car. They drove off, leaving Steph and I still in our swim suits, "Who is at the studio?" She shrugged her shoulders, "What's that mean?" I asked with a laugh.
"No one is at the studio," she told me with a shy smile, "The producer called to say that he wouldn't be there for the next few days."
"So-."
"Let's go play tennis." She shut her door and we walked back towards the pool area. We walked into the building next door and she rented two racquets and a basket of tennis balls, "Ready?" She asked as she strut to the opposite side of the court.
"I've never played," I admitted to her with a laugh and she began to direct me on how to hold the racquet correctly.
She hit the ball with full force making it impossible for me to hit it, "Hey!" I exclaimed happily.
"What?" She asked as she leaned on her racquet with a smirk on her lips, "You don't expect me to go easy on you, huh?"
"Alright, bring it on." I said before missing every ball she hit in my direction.
"Let's actually try to volley," she told me, "I'll go easy on you."
I missed the first few, but eventually got the hang of it. It was sometimes hard to focus on the ball with her standing directly across from me in that red bikini. We began to count how many times I was able to hit the ball back. After struggling, I was finally able to hit ten. I threw my hands up excitedly and she walked over to my side of the court, "congrats," she said with a cute smile, "it's been a hour and you've hit ten balls over the net." She lightly laughed.
I lightly bowed, "Thank you," I said happily, "I'll be here all week."
She lightly rolled her eyes, "It's almost four. What do you want to do now."
"I would say that we could watch a movie, but you'll probably fall asleep." She slightly stuck her tongue out at me and I smiled, "We can go get food." I suggested, realizing that I hadn't eaten since breakfast.
"That sounds like a great idea."
