Austin POV
"What now?" She asks, looking at me. "Don't forget that I do have school tomorrow and finals to study for tonight and I'd prefer not to pull an all nighter."
"Then we'll make this fast." I say, opening the door and getting out.
"Make what fast? Austin!"
I laugh and pull my shirt off.
"What are you doing? Are you crazy?" Taylor calls.
"I'm going swimming." I say, turning around to face her. "You can join me or you can watch from the car. Your choice."
I unbuckle my belt and slip my shoes off. I pull my pants down and take my shoes off.
"Are you skinny dipping?" I hear Taylor screech from the car and I look over my shoulder to see her hands covering her face.
I hurriedly take my boxers off and get in the water. "You can look now." I call. "It feels amazing by the way."
"Austin are you fucking crazy? It's dusk already. It'll be dark soon. And idk about you but I have things I need to do tonight before I goto bed." Taylor says, walking over here with her arms crossed over her chest.
"Live a little Taylor. Isn't that what you told me that night in your pool when it was raining? Why don't you come in here? I promise I won't touch you or anything. Unless you want."
She rolls her eyes. "I'll be back. AND NO PEEKING."
I watch her walk back to her car and pop the trunk.
She emerges with 2 towels and is in a bathing suit.
"You carry a bathing suit and towels in your trunk?" I ask.
"You don't?" She retorts.
I watch as she places the towels next to my clothes and slowly stands up, my eyes going up and down her body.
It was hard to believe that in March I had seen her in a way no one else has.
"You know, I'd like to say that I like you better in lingerie." I say, earning a laugh out of her.
"Yeah well, never again." She says, slowly making her way into the water. "Next time I'll be in lingerie, it'll be for my husband."
I wonder who she would marry. And when. If she would have kids. How many. What she would name them. Would she live in the city or out in the country. How long would she dance before getting a career?
"Austin, did you plan on coming to the lake and skinny dipping or did you just want to see if I would look to see you naked." Taylor asks and I laugh.
"Actually neither. It was kind of a impulse thing. You were sad and I was like oh lets go to the lake and once we got here, I just decided to go swimming. Naked."
She shakes her head. "Freak."
"Says the girl who keeps a bathing suit and towels in her trunk."
"Shh." She says, laughing.
I watch her for a while before looking up. "It is getting late. I guess we should go."
She swims closer to me and I start to get nervous.
What is this? She's seen me naked and I've seen her naked. And it's also starting to get dark outside and the water it dark so I doubt she can see Clark.
"Lets not leave just yet." Taylor says, smiling at me. "Would you?" She asks, holding her hair back so I can untie her top.
"Thanks!" She says, before sliding her bottoms off and throwing it to shore. "Wow, I feel so free. I think I might become a nudist dancer."
I burst out laughing and so does Taylor.
"It's really quiet out here." She says, looking at me.
I notice she makes sure to stay underwater so I can't see anything. Which is funny since I've already seen her naked.
But I wasn't blaming her because I was also hiding my private parts.
"Hey Austin, thanks for tonight. I really needed this. I think if I had went home and studied, I would've committed suicide at least a million times. And of course all my teachers waiting till the day of to tell us if we're exempt is stressing me out because I know in most of my classes I will be but I don't wanna be wrong ya know."
I nod even though I'm not sure if she can see me.
"I'm gonna go ahead and get out. You can stay though." I tell her.
"Wait," she says and I turn around. She walks towards me.
"Do you like me Austin?" She asks.
"I always have."
"Even after everything I've done?"
"Yes."
She nods. "I'm done. So if your ready, we'll dry off and I'll drop you off wherever your staying."
"Taylor," I call. I close the gap between us. "I love you."
I lean in and kiss her softly on the lips.
When I pull away, she smiles at me. "Austin I-"
"No it's cool. I understand. You've moved on." I say, walking back to shore.
She grabs my arm to stop me and walks in front of me. "How about next time you let me finish?"
The full moon is rising and the water comes up to Taylor mid-waist.
"I love you too. It's always been you. Never anyone else." She says, smiling at me.
"Wait, are you saying that night in spring break that we had sex was the best you ever had?" I ask.
"It was my first time and I didn't know what to expect so I'd say no." She laughs. "You are the best I've ever had. What about you Mahoney? Who was your first?"
"Riley." I say sheepishly. "She was the first girl I slept with and the only girl I slept with. Well besides you. You were the second girl for me to sleep with."
Taylor makes a face. "When was the first and last time?"
"The first time was sophomore year at a party I got completely wasted at. And the last time was last year at her family's Christmas party."
"Ew ew ew." She says.
"But if it matters, I enjoyed it with you better."
Taylor laughs. "That's good."
We fall into a comfortable silence and Taylor sighs. "Good times I guess."
I nod because I didn't know what else to do.
"We should go." She says, walking towards shore.
