when tyler was already out at the pool, i was still getting ready.

he left his phone in the room because he knew he wasn't going to need it and he didn't want to take the chance that his phone would accidentally end up in the pool.

after i put my swimming suit on, his phone was ringing. it was ringing a lot too. i just thought he was popular, not this popular though.

i went over to the counter, where his phone was.

i picked it up and saw that my boss was calling him.

why the hell would she be calling him?

i declined the phone call and looked through his notifications. all of them were just my boss texting him.

are you guys there?

what's happening?

TEXT BACK!

damnit tyler!

did the plan go alright?

plz. respond.

you little fucker.

i was shocked to say the least.

what the hell is she talking about? what plan?

right when i was about to power off his phone, he got another text.

just tell me if you made it official yet. i'm really worried about her. don't let me down. but most importantly, don't hurt her or i will hurt you.

i quickly powered off his phone.

um. what?

is she talking about me? making what official? our relationship? what? i'm so confused.

i didn't want tyler to think something happened so i quickly went down the stairs to where the pool was.

when i got there, tyler was the only person there. he was doing flips in the water.

"hey."
i say, trying to make it seem like i know what the fuck is going on.

"oh hey! i didn't see you there. i was just doing my daily flips."
he smiled.

"yeah right. please, i could probably do more than you without stopping."
i roll my eyes.

"oh yeah? prove it."
he stated.

"ok."
without anymore time being wasted, i jumped into the pool, splashing tyler in the process.

in the end, i won.

"that's not fair! you were probably cheating!"
he said, laughing a little and choking a little on the water.

"nope. i won fair and square."
i say proudly.

before tyler could say anything back, a worker came into the pool area.

"hey guys, the pool is closed now, it opens again tomorrow at ten in the morning. sorry!"
he said.

"it's ok. we were just about to get out anyway."
tyler said, winking at me secretly so the worker wouldn't see. we both knew we weren't going to get out anytime soon.

we went back to our room, both shivering from the cold. we didn't bring any towels with us.

tyler sat on his bed with his phone.

i forgot about the whole thing with my boss and him.

shit. what's going to happen?

"hey jen? i'm getting in the shower."
he said, plugging his phone in and grabbing clean and dry clothes and going into the bathroom. a few seconds later, i hear the shower start running.

ding

"damnit."
i whisper to myself.

i'm not really a nosey person or anything, but when it comes to people hiding stuff behind my back, you better believe i will look through someone's stuff. i don't like being lied to. definitely not from my so called "boyfriend" and my best friend.

i pick tyler's phone up and see a text from my boss.

ok. good. i just thought that something bad happened or something. keep me posted.

i put down his phone.

i guess whatever she was talking about, it happened.

we turned all the lights off and we laid down. it had been a busy day. i worked, we went on a date, we drove in the car for more than four hours, we swam, it was all very tiring.

i have to keep my eye out for all this stuff that's happening behind my back.

i'm not going to say that i know what's happening. i'm just going to lay low until i know what exactly is happening. then i will confront the two.

sounds like a plan.
