----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I shoved Luke backwards and he grabbed my wrists to pull him self back up, us now wrestling. Our eyes met and we couldn't help but gleam at each other death glares while we grunted and giggled. Suddenly, Daniel dropped and he and Luke collapsed into the water.

"Looks like we won." I said smiling and giving Jai a high, well... low five.

"I got your ass whooped on tape!" Beau yelled to Luke.

"Shut the fuck up! It's because of Daniel!" He yelled back.

I swooshed through the water over to Luke and made my way in his arms, kissing his jaw.

It was happening, it was going to happen. I could sense it since the car ride. I and the other boys started to head back into the house, but Luke grabbed my arm and pulled me back to him. Everyone except us back in the house.

I looked up at him, my hair partially in the way. He tucked part of my hair behind my ear and gave me a sheepish smile. I let out a sigh and looked down from his eyes.

"What is it Alice?" He said in the way that he was like someone tempted to know, but wasn't rushing.

A shiver ran up my spine. I couldn't look him in the eye, and I wasn't sure if it was because I was too insecure, guilty, or even both,

It happened. It fucking happened. Everything was drained from me and my face was emotionless. So emotionless, there weren't even tears. I felt all the caring rush out of me and all the kindness along with it. It felt like a little switch, that was able to flick itself on and off whenever it wanted to. Everything just left me,

"Alice."

"What?"

He pulled me in tighter, my arms loosly hanging around his hips. I didn't want to pour myself out to him tonight, not tonight. I couldn't take all the guilt from having someone else listen to me and my sobs, knowing that I'd regret it later and have them thinking about it all night. I was going to lock it all in, and fake it if I had to, whether that meant feeling horrible or go back to crying myself to sleep at night. I 'perked up' and looked up at him with a smile. He looked down and returned the gesture, not showing his pearly whites. I turned and led us out the pool, finally going to take a shower. I wrapped my self in my towel and gave Luke his. Heading into the house I couldn't help but gasp and the cold tiles and the air conditioner's icey cold blast.

I ran my way into Luke's bathroom, filling up the tub instead. I stripped of my clothing and got it. The water was so warm, all most hot. I turned on the jets for the bubbles that lasted half a second each but would instantly have a replacement with another. I let my body sink in.

I heard the bathroom door click open. I jumped up, thankful to the fact that the water was deep so my body was still covered as I sat. Luke stood at the door, still wrapped in his towel. I sunk back in a bit, smiling at him. I turned back in and completely submerged. I came back up and gasped a bit, wiping my face and pushing back my hair. I opened my eyes and Luke knelt on the ground, arms crossed over the rims of the tub. I gave him a sort of sheepish weak smile.

"You're beautiful when you smile."  He whispered blankly, as if it were an aloud thought.

I pressed my lips together in a frown. "Ughhh  no where'd it go."

"Away obviously."

"Make it come back."

"What if it doesn't want to?"

"I'll make it come back."

"Good luck." I said, ripping my eyes off of his gorgeous face and down at my legs.

"Naahh, I won't need it." He said. I couldn't help but chuckle because I knew he would. I reached out and passed him the shampoo bottle, which thankfully was one of those regular ones that didn't matter if you were a guy or girl. "Make yourself useful."

"Turn around."

"It's easier from behind though."

"Just do it."

"Like Nike?"

"I guess."

"No you idiot."

"Okay then." I couldn't help but let out a laugh at how he let me mess with him. I turned around and sat with my knees to my chest. He squirted some in his hand, then a shit load of it on my head.

"Luke!" I giggled. He started scrubbing and lathering roughly and my head moved with each scrub. What the fuck is going on?

"I feel like a dog!" I laughed.

"You're my bitch then."

"Woof." He suddenly stopped to let out a deep chuckle and kissed my forehead and resumed washing my pile of hair. I crossed my eyes and made duck lips. "Ew. You're cute when you're ugly." He said kissing my lips. "Thanks ugly."

"I'm done." he said, dipping his hands in the water to rinse them off. He got up and kissed my cheek. "Hurry so we can watch a quick movie." And walked out the door. I let out a sigh and submerged. I just got a dog bath and I'm not even a dog.

I drained the water and got out, reaching for a towel. I wrapped myself and made my way over to the mirror, tying and securing my towel while I blow dried my hair.
