Some stuff at the end I encourage you to read over, because not only do I want feedback but its an apology of sorts!

Not long after Jamison and I had that little encounter in the kitchen, his mother suggested we go to have fun in the pool out the back while she deals with things inside. I didn't even realize they had a pool, and it excited me greatly. Given that I loved to swim and would always beg my mother to go to the pool, I found it quite fun. Jamison had already ran up to his room to get changed into some swim trunks, while I were left, dazed in the kitchen given I had no change of bathers.

"Um, excuse me miss?" I questioned his mother, who turned from her desk with a soft look. "I don't have any bathers. What can I use?" I questioned, switching from heel to toe.  She nodded in a polite understanding.

"I can give you one of Jamison's swim shirts once he's done changing in his room and you can wear some of his shorts too? If that's not too uncomfortable with you."

I shook my head, "No no, it's alright. Whatever I can wear"

I bolted out the back door, Jamison not far behind. I leapt off of their deck and collected myself on the grass, running to their built-in pool towards the back of the lot. Jamison, being taller than me and much quicker, overtook my small form in seconds in quick, long strides.

He cannonballed into the pool while I was left running after his footsteps.

The second my feet hit the hard concreted land that surrounded the pool, I leapt forwards. One foot before the other as I plummeted to the cold water.

I resurfaced in a heap of bubbles and let out a high-pitched squeal.

The water was freezing.

Jamison chucked me a smile as he swam over towards me.
"Too cold for ya Sheila?" He questioned, laying on his back, facing the clear sky while giving me a grin.

I smiled, shivering.
"You wish," I muttered through clattering teeth. I couldn't let him know I was freezing half to death in this pool, although I knew I would warm up to it later.

He flipped back over and swatted water at me. "Jamison!" I half yelled- half cried "Oh Jamison, You are so dead!" I squealed, heaving myself onto his lanky figure, pulling the both of us to the bottom of the pool. We wrestled around under there for a bit, trying our best through blurred vision and held breaths.

I kicked myself off of him to get a breath.

Breaking the surface, I sucked in a breath wiping at my eyes.
I scanned around me. Was Jamison really still under the water?
My thoughts were cut short as I got yanked under the water by my feet, coming face to face with a grinning Jamison. He swam into me and bear hugged me.
I was honestly so confused.

I started to squirm in his grasp as he had started to tickle my ribs. He was definately getting in trouble for this later. I tried to swim out under him, tickling his armpits, ribs, stomach, anywhere!

They all proved to be of no use, as he was already much stronger than me.

Jamison and I lay leaning against the wall of the pool, catching our breaths. After the whole tickle feud, we got really tired. Our eyes stung, my chest hurt from holding my breath for so long and I was pretty sure Jamison had sore legs from my kicking.
But, thats not to say it wasn't fun.

I looked over at him to catch him staring at me, in which he burst into a cheshire smile with closed eyes.
I snickered, making my way over to him.
