Chapter 04 {By Me}

Neptune's POV

We all ran out to the pool. Calum being the fastest, and splashing us all as he jumped in.

"Hey!" I exclaimed, "Now my clothes are all wet!"

"Then take them off!" Calum said. I felt my face heat up and his eyes widened, "That is not what I meant!" Michael started laughing and I just shook it off.

Rylie walked over to me and whispered, "I call dibs on Michael."

"What! No fair!" I whispered back.

"Oh please! You like Luke!"

"Shut up! He's right there." Rylie looked up and we both stared at the blonde boy walking towards us. He just smiled and walked over to the chair next to me. Well then.

I watched out of the corner of my eye as he pulled the blue tank top over his head. He looked back at me. I looked away, blushing.

"Are you gonna swim, or just stand there?" Rylie asked.

"I uh... Yeah." I said as I pulled my tank top over my head and tossed it down on the chair.

Rylie and Michael were already splashing each other in the pool. I looked around and Luke and Calum were staring at me.

I turned away, and slid my shorts down my legs, revealing the black bikini bottoms.

"Come on! Get in, you're taking forever!" Rylie shouted. I was still embarrassed, and Luke and Calum were still staring at me. I slid off the edge deck into the pool.

Everyone was quiet. I had no idea what to do, so I just went under water. It never really hurt me to open my eyes under water, so I did. I know that it probably wasn't the best idea because of the chlorine, but oh well.

I heard muffled laughing. Next thing I knew, Ashton appeared under water. I laughed at the face he made, but then I breathed in water, so I had to go back up.

I coughed a few times. Luke swam over to me, "You okay?" I nodded, "Come on." He got out of the water, "Where are you going?"

"Just follow me." He smiled, and motioned me to walk with him.

"Okay..?" I got out of the water and followed Luke into the garage. He turned around and looked at me, "Is something wrong?" I was so confused with what was happening.

"No, just uh... Come here." I walked closer to him, not understanding why. Luke took my face in his hands, and next thing I knew, his lips were pressed against mine. I was taken back a bit, but I also had no idea what to do. I had never kissed a guy before. So, I just close my eyes and kissed him back.

He pulled away, looked me in the eyes, and blushed. Why is he blushing? I should be the one blushing. I am blushing. He kissed me.

"Not saying it was bad, but was that for exactly?" I asked.

He chuckled, "Oh uh... nothing."

"Okay, well we should probably get back before the think something is up."

"Yeah, except grab something so it looks like we came in here for a reason."

I raised an eyebrow, "Didn't we?" He laughed and picked up a ring that was huge and had a flamingo head on it. I picked up a green raft, and we walked back out to the pool.

Rylie's eyes immediately went to me, mouthing the words, "What the hell?" I shook my head. Luke was already over by Calum, Ashton, and Michael, talking about God-knows-what.

"What happened?" Rylie asked me quietly.

I pointed to the raft, "I got a raft. Duh!"

"Yeah, that's why you're blushing like that? What happened?" She gasped, "Did he kiss you?"

I put my finger in front of my mouth, "Shh!"

"Oh my god, you kissed the lead singer! Damn, I thought I was in the lead." We laughed and walked over to the guys, "So, are we gonna do anything, or just talk?" Rylie asked.

We all looked at each other and yelled, "Chicken!"

Rylie got on Michael's shoulders, and I got on Luke's. Leaving Calum and Ashton. So, they decided to the "judges" of the game.

"Ready?" Calum asked. We both nodded.

"Go!" Ashton yelled. Rylie and I fought to push the other one down. I had a good start because I'm taller than her, so I can kind of push her a bit more, but she is really strong.

I laughed as Michael lost his balance, and Rylie fell in the water. Technically, I didn't win, but I still wasn't the one to fall.

Luke grabbed my hands, and looked up at me. I laughed and said, "Yay us!"

Rylie came back above the water and glared at Michael. He laughed at her, and she splashed him. We all ended up laughing together.

Luke set me back down, but I almost fell. Until he caught me, that is.
