Too Fast (A Connor Franta Fanfiction)

Chapter 7

^Connor's P.O.V^

Lilly and Jen pulled up once we got outside and Jc went to open Jen's door.

I walked over to Lilly's side and she looked very lost in thought.

'Is she thinking about me?? Snap out of it Connor!!'

I tapped her window and she quickly came back to Earth. I stepped back to open her door and started a convo.

We kept talking as we walked to the house.

'Omg she googled me!! Thank god I don't have a criminal record!'

We walked through the door and she seemed surprised! She looked around in shock.

I admit we have a pretty large house since we knew the owners. We showed them the bathrooms and walked to the back.

That's when Lilly went crazy and all I could do was smile and laugh.

'Soo she's a swimmer! Okay she is officially awesome!!'

Jc and Jen walked over to the grill and Jc turned into Spongebob grilling patties.

'..noo I'm soo serious there should be a pineapple at the bottom of the pool!!'

Then Lilly asked the dreaded question;

The truth is, I do know a couple of people here, but she and Jen were the only people I wanted to invite.

Ricky came back from the shed and decided to start a bet. Lilly seemed pumped about it so I decided to go along.

She turned around and took off her extra clothes to reveal a light blue bikini that complimented her eyes.

'Is she trying to kill me? Eyes up Connor! Don't be a perv! Focus on the race!'

She let her hair loose to fall on her shoulders.

'I swear to god if I had my camera right now with the sun just right making her glow! I'd get like 20,000 notes on Tumblr...'

'Connor, you're doing it again!'

I looked down at her long legs and noticed a light scar running down her right leg. That looks painful. I'll have to ask her about it later.

We lined up at the front of the pool while Ricky set up his camera.

"Okay on your mark! Get set! Go!!!" Ricky yelled.

We both quickly dove into to the water and swam with all we had.

'Even with water in her face and her determined look she was so cute!

'Wow you sound like a girl!'

'Seriously?'

'Yeah- Wait, Connor look ahead!!'

I flipped back just before my head hit the pool wall. I looked back to see Lilly catching up with me, so I swam faster. Finally making it back to the front of the pool, I hopped out and waited for Lilly.

When she got up she looked at me with a happy/smug and relieved look.

'Why is she looking at me like that?? And why hasn't Ricky yelled I won yet?'

"Umm...Connor? Why don't we look over the video??" Ricky said, smiling.

"Umm..okay" I said looking back at Lilly who was drying off and walked over to sit down with us.

So the video is playing back and it's at the beginning of us diving into the water.

I see Lilly turn into a jet in the water and pass me while I'm thinking about her.

She's seriously good and fast! She gets out of the water and turns to Ricky. When she turns back she sees me about to hit the wall and jumps back in the water.

'Wow was I that distracted??!? I look so stupid'

Then I look back and see her catching up.

'So, I lost! Is it soo bad that I'm not too upset about losing to a girl, much less Lilly?!'

Ricky shuts off the tape and I try to laugh it off but fail miserably. I turn back to Lilly and she gives me an apologetic look but I smile back.

"So, what were you thinking about?" She asked.

'Okay so the universe hates me today...mhmmm....I see how it is!'

"Nothing...."

"Ah ah ah..." She said waving her finger at me. "....you have to confess a secret"

I took a deep shaky breath and replied.

"Okay well I was thinking about you...and how I was lucky enough to stumble across you at Taco Bell."

She smiled and blushed.

"Thank you...I feel the same.."

I looked up at Ricky and signaled for him to walk away with my eyes cause we're fudging telepathic.

He silently nodded and winked.

"Hey do you want to go upstairs?...I mean I want to show you my room...I mean not show you my room in that way but like-"

"-Connor.." She cut off. "...slow down..yeah I'll come upstairs" she said smiling.

I nodded relieved and led her inside. Jc and Ricky quickly gave me thumbs up, while Jen flipped burgers like a boss.
