Hey guys! I'm here with another one shot! This time it's based on a really sad/cute coming of age movie called, "The Man in the Moon". It's set during the summer and is about a 14 year old girl who meets a 17 year old boy when she swims in a supposed private pool that belonged to the boy, who just moved there for the summer. The boy and girl continue going on late night swims and the girl falls in love with him. Soon, the girl's sister starts falling in love with the boy and then... sad things happen. I won't spoil it, but this one shot will be based off of it except Riley is the 14 year old girl and Farkle is the 17 year old boy. Riley also doesn't have a sister like in the movie that gets in the way of things and there's a happy ending for Farkle not like in the movie...*cries* The movie also took place in the 50's but this one shot will take place recently. Sorry for the long A/N and please check out my Best Friend's Brother riarkle fanfic! Okie ~~ let's get started!
Author's POV
Finally, summertime! Riley Matthews was sprawled out on her bed listening to the songs on her phone of one of the most popular male artists of the year, Ed Sheeran. One song after the other played. First came "Thinking Out Loud", then "Kiss Me", then "Perfect". She sighed. It was so hot, and she wanted to do something about the trickles of sweat running down the side of her face.
Riley giggled and jumped off her bed, opening the gate to her wooden house and running through the trees and woods until she came across a wooden deck leading to a pond. Riley smiled and started stripping off her clothing. No bathing suit in hand, Riley removed her tee and shorts quickly. After removing her underwear, she jumped into the pond and started to enjoy the cool water on her tan skin.
Riley's POV
The cool water rushed over my pulsing veins, soothing my overheated body. I dunked my head under the pond water and ran my hands through my hair. I continued swimming until I thought I heard the pounding of feet on the wooden deck. Shrugging, I continued swimming until I heard someone jump into the pond. My eyes widened, remembering that I wasn't wearing any clothes. The person of course jumped into the pool right next to where I was swimming. We both faced each other. I let out a scream, "Get out!"
The teen brown haired, blue eyed boy screamed back, "You get out!"
"This is private property! No one has been swimming in this pond for years!" I yelled.
"It's not private property if I own it!" The boy screamed back.
"Yeah, right! The Minkus' haven't moved into that house next door for years!"
"Well good luck getting yourself outta this one, little girl! I just moved in for the year, next door!" He smirked.
I looked up at him, dumbfounded. What?
"So I think you should step out," he said smugly.
"I can't do that," I said, a blush forming on my cheeks.
"Why not, little girl? You can't be here," he said.
"I'm not a little girl! I'm Riley! And please don't make me get out of this pond..."
The boy chuckled, "Well we can't share, so you have only one option."
"Fine," I grumbled, "Just....close your eyes! You can't look! Or else..."
The boy chuckled as I got out of the pond. I walked near the stairs to the deck and caught the pervert peeking!
I quickly covered myself, shooting him a glare.
"You have nothing to hide!" He sang.
Idiot.

The next morning, my mom made me do chores. I watched my baby brother, Auggie, as he played with his "wife" Ava. I sat bored out of my mind until I heard my mom yell, "Here they are! Finally!"
I looked to what she was talking about and saw a Mercedes Benz pull up in our parking spot. The black car's door opened and out popped a brown hair man with a smug grin. His blonde haired wife followed him out of the car soon after.
"Topanga Matthews," he smiled.
"Corey is almost out....Corey!!!! They're here!" Mom yelled.
My dad rushed out of the house and waved, "Stuart Minkus!"
Minkus? That name sounded familiar.....
I shrugged my thoughts of the brown haired blue eyed boy in the pond and continued babysitting my brother.
"Farkle!" Stuart yelled.
My eyes widened as the boy from the pond opened the door to the car and stood with his hands in his pockets awkwardly.
His eyes wandered around my house and my gleeful parents until he spotted me. When he saw me, his eyes popped out of his head.
I laughed at his reaction as my parents started to lead the Minkus couple inside. I motioned him to follow me and he annoyed smile etched over his face as we started to walk.
"Riley, Mr. Minkus wants his son to go to the market to get some food for dinner. Can you show Farkle where it is?" Mom asked.
I rolled my eyes as Farkle leaded me to his car, smirking.
We got in his car and I giggled.
"Farkle, huh?" I teased.
"Shut up, Riley," he smirked, "Anyways. I don't need you here. A little girl navigating me. I'm kind of a genius."
"Well, you stupid genius, I'm not a little girl. I'm only 14," I proudly stated.
"Wowww, so old," he said as I pointed for him to go left.
"Oh yeah, Farkle? Well how old are you? 15?" I scoffed.
"17, thank you very much," he said.
We finally got to the store and I hopped out of the car. Farkle teased me the whole time we were in the store.
He would tap my shoulders repeatedly pretending it was someone else, made me think I lost him in the store and shove me lightly. I know it was supposed to be annoying, but I couldn't help but think that it was funny and I also couldn't ignore the way my heart was beating.
~~~
"Can't catch me?" I asked, giggling.
"Oh yeah?" Farkle asked as he swam up to me and splashed me. I giggled and faked a shocked expression. We were swimming in the pond....and this time we were actually swimming. And I actually was wearing a swimsuit.
Soon, I got out of the water to be in time for dinner.
I started gathering my stuff.
"So, Farkle, can you swim tomorrow?" I asked him.
"Why do we have to wait so long when we could just go for round two tonight?" He said.
"That just sounds wrong," I smiled, "And ... I'll see you at nine."
"You sure it's not past your bedtime then?" he asked.
"Shut up!"
~~~
I moved my fork through my meat pie and looked at the time. 8:30. My bathing suit still under my clothes, I looked up at my mom.
"I'm going swimming with Farkle!" I said excitedly as I started to run out of the house when my mom stopped me.
"Aren't you forgetting something? Dinner. After dinner you may swim with Farkle. But not when there's a full meat pie on your plate waiting to be eaten."
I sighed and quickly gobbled up the pie.
"Can I go now?" I asked.
My mom smiled and nodded.
"Thanks, Mom!" I said, kissing her on the cheek and running to the pond.
~~~
"Farkle?" I called for him as I got out of my clothes and now fully appearing in a one piece black swimsuit.
All of a sudden, I felt a hand on my ankle grab me and pull me in.
I screamed and fell underwater.
When I raised back up to the surface, I glared at Farkle.
He was pointing at me and laughing. I snarled and splashed him.
"Oh really?!" He said teasingly.
I squealed as he chased me while splashing me every once in a while.
I splashed him back as he tried to cowardly get out of the pond and jump back in to ambush me when I splashed him again. Ha - two times in a row!
He chuckled a, "Hey!", and grabbed my wrist to stop my splashing. Everything soon got quiet as Farkle's smile disappeared. He was now looking into my brown eyes and I was staring back into his icy blue ones.
His strong and muscular arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer to him. I could feel his toned stomach on mine. He slowly leaned in and I closed my eyes. Waiting for his lips to kiss mine, they never did.
I opened my eyes as Farkle lightly pushed me away from him and climbed out the pool. I quickly followed.
"Farkle, what did I do?"
"Nothing," he sighed.
"Just tell me!"
"You did nothing! Listen, Riley. Have you ever kissed anyone before?"
I nodded, "Hundreds of times."
"Well, we probably would have done more if I did," he sighed.
"Farkle-"
"No, don't. We can't like each other. It's-it's...."
"It's what?" I asked.
"Wrong. I'm older than you."
"Wow, genius. By three years?" I teased.
Farkle chuckled and walked to the side of the pond where his clothes lay, him in his underwear. He quickly put on his jeans and tee as I turned away, not wanting to peek.
"Oh, you don't want to look now, huh?" He teased.
"Um, of course not, you perv!" I teased, sticking my tongue out.
"You did in the water," he winked.
"Did not."
"Surrree," he teased.
I glared at him and smiled.
"Farkle....," I started.
"Hm?"
"I wanna know more about you."
"Oh really? Like what?" he asked.
"What you wish to happen in your life."
"Oh. What my wishes are?"
I nodded.
"Well, number one I hope you fill out, two-," he started but didn't get to finish because I tackled him to the ground.
I laughed as I was on top of him. Farkle chuckled and pushed me so now I was in his lap with his hand cradling my cheek and his arms around my waist.
He stared at my lips and leaned over before hoisting me to the ground.
I sat next to him now, very confused.
"It always happens like this," he laughed.
It was silent for a few minutes before I smiled at him.
"Can I tell you something?" I asked him.
He nodded, returning my smile.
"I actually...haven't been kissed before," I blushed.
"Huh. I thought you've been kissed hundreds of times?" He smiled at me teasingly.
I looked down, still keeping my smile. Farkle's smile soon went away as he leaned in to me. I closed my eyes until I felt his warm lips on mine. He deepened the kiss by pulling my body closer to his. I wrapped my hands around the neck. He pushed me to the floor of the deck and kissed my forehead, nose and then moved back down to my lips. The kiss felt like dipping in a warm jacuzzi while eating a sweet melting Popsicle. It was amazing. He pulled me up from the deck, his lips still on mine. Soon he pulled away from my lips and my eyes were still closed, processing what had just happened.
"Farkle, thanks. I think I'm beginning to like you," I blushed looking at the ground.
"Beginning to like me? After that kiss?" He teased, winking at me.
I scoffed and laughed as I lightly slapped his shoulder.
Farkle then sighed and wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me closer to him. We stayed like that, watching the gleam of the water, until we could see the sun.
