By The Pool Side

Touch Me

So its been three hours since Mitchie and I were in the swimming pool. David is still laughing about it while my brother has shied away in the bathroom. I'm sure he doesn't want to see me since the pool incident. At least he didn't see me top-less, I mean come on, the both of us would have been traumatized for life.

I'm sitting in the kitchen overlooking the island table which exposes a large front room. The windows outline the entire house except for where the back doors lead to the yard. Mitchie is sitting on the plush white sofa eating grapes, staring at me and smiling from under every bite. I want to look away, but everything inside of me wants to just touch her. David is behind me digging in the freezer for frozen pizza. The blinding light shining into the room comes from outside. I turn to face the dark haired boy, he's just risen with two large pizzas under his arm.

"Alex what kind?" he asked as I shrug my shoulders. He looks between the two and just walks over to the oven unwrapping the plastic from around them as I feel two arms rub across my skin. I'm still in my bikinI mind you, although I just tossed my shorts on a little while earlier. Hair falls onto my back as I hear giggling drift into the air.

I shake my hips trying to knock Mitchie away but fall onto the tile floor. Laughter fills the room as I stare up at the girl before standing.

"What happened Lex?" DavI'd asked. He was the only one to ever call me that.

"Nothing," I answered before Mitchie shuffled back over to the couch, my heart was pumping fast, her touch made me shiver.

"So is your brother going to come down or what?"

"No idea, I could check," I said before he nodded just as I was on my way up the stEPA. I took one last glance at Mitchie. She had her arm propped up on the back of the couch staring at me, her elbow pressed up against her skin. She was still eating those damn grapes but this time she trailed her tongue around one. I pressed my lips together hard and turned away before making it up the stairs. The hallway was narrow but very bright due to the one window at the end of the hall. Several doors were closed but I knew which was David's. I knocked on the door and pushed it open to find my brother sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Are you coming back downstairs?" I asked him as he narrowed his eyes.

"Alex, you….Mitchie….I would have never agreed to come up here if you would have told me you liked the girl, wait are you two dating?"

"No."

"Then what the hell was that back there?" he asked raising his arms into the air.

"Justin chill, look I don't know what that was but, can you just come back downstairs?" I waited until he nodded before walking out of the room. I knew he liked Mitchie, and I knew I liked her before he even asked If she was coming. I arrived back downstairs where Mitchie stood in her bikini with a short white ruffle skirt over her bottom piece. Her eyes met mine as I turned the corner. David was gone out of the room.

"What are you doing?" I asked as she walked over to me grabbing my hand, her finger sliding between mine. We walked back into the living area as she stopped in front of a couch.

"Sit," she instructed me, I raised my eyebrow before taking a seat. I crossed my legs and folded my arms as she smiled and stepped in the middle of the room. Her hand fell onto the glass table as she flicked on the radio.

"You are not about to dance."

"Shush," she insisted as the beat filled the room. It was sort of hard for me to get into her moving her hips back and forth and her tossing her hair everywhere since my brother or David could be in the room anytime soon. She turned to me and pointed as I shook my head and stared at her. I didn't know what to do, was I suppose to play along? She walked over and reached for my arms before unfolding them. I lowered my legs because I thought she was about to help me stand up, instead she lowered herself into my lap. She sat inward before wrapping her arms around my neck. My hands fell flat to my side, as everything began to tingle. I mean my heart was beating so loud I thought my ears would bleed because of the thumping I heard. Mitchie pressed her forehead onto mine as she moved her hips.
