I woke up alone on the couch, my face felt weird and I realized it was just my mask. I got up and stretched. Vanoss was in the kitchen cooking something.

Oh, shit. I fell asleep with him on the couch. I suddenly remembered. What does he think of that?

I went to the kitchen. "What time is it?" I asked, still kind of sleepy.

"About 11." Evan said, he put down a plate of pancakes down in front of me. I sat down, put syrup on them and ate them. They were really good, I wish I could cook, I'm terrible at cooking anything.

Evan sat down across from me and watched me. I kept looking at him with eyes, but he couldn't see them with my mask in the way. He probably thinks I'm not noticing. I smiled. I'm glad he couldn't see that either.

I finally finished and looked up with my mask, he took a sip of his coffee.

"So, are you never going to show, anyone your face?" He asked after a while.

"I don't think so." I said, feeling confident that I could just wear this anytime I wanted to come over to anyone's house.

"You can't go into pubic like that, you know." Oh shit, I forgot about that.

"Yea, I know." I said, lying.

"Your going to have to show your face, to at least me." I didn't answer.

I honestly don't know why I put this stupid mask on. That dream didn't mean anything. I was ready to show Vanoss my face and I wussed out.

"Did you bring swimming stuff? I've got a pool we can go in." Evan said pointing to his backyard.

"What? It's like 60 degrees Fahrenheit outside!" I said.

"That's not that cold." He said.

"You fuckin Canadians, That. Is. Freezing." I said, a little bit over dramatic. He laughed. It wasn't really that cold.

"So did you bring swimming stuff or not!?" He ask.

"Fuck no, I didn't." I said, laughing.

"Well, I've got an extra swimsuit, if you want." He said.

"Yea, I guess so." I said, after what felt like forever. Why did he want to go swimming so badly, anyway?

"Alright." He said, getting up and heading upstairs. I put my plate in the sink and followed him. I went up stairs and he threw a pair of plain black swimming shorts at me.

"Uh, you don't have one of those, waterproof shirts, you swim with? Do you?" I asked. I don't really like swimming without those. I actually haven't gone swimming in a long time.

"Uh, no, I don't like those." He said. Great.

"It's fine." I went into my room, and changed. I grabbed a towel on my way out and caught a glance of Evan brushing his teeth in the bathroom with his just shorts. Damn, he's ripped. I probably look so skinny compared to him.

I realized my breath probably stinks because I ate pizza last night and didn't brush. I went back into my room and grabbed my toothpaste and brush from my bag and joined Evan in the bathroom. I slid up my mask up just above my mouth and brushed with him.

"You and your mask." He said shaking his head. "Are you going to swim like that?"

"Yep." I replied, like it was nothing.

"I'm pretty sure that's dangerous."

"Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself. I know how to fucking swim." I said and he smiled. We finished up brushing and headed downstairs.

I walked outside and as soon as I saw the pool, I felt at home. I threw my towel and phone on a chair nearby and I dove in. Evan was right, it wasn't cold.

I came up to the surface and as soon as I did, I saw Evan jump and do a canon ball right beside me.

"Ahh!" I screamed as I was covered in water.

Evan came out of the water and laughed, I splashed him, and he jumped and tackled me, taking me and him under the water. I managed to swim back up first and I held his head under the water, just playing with him.

He came up and gasped, and breathing heavy. Oh God, I'm so sorry. "Are you ok?" I asked swimming over to him. He was still breathing heavy.

Then all of a sudden he stopped and grinned at me and pulled me under the water. He held my head, like I had done to him. That little bitch. I struggled.

He finally let me go. I came up to the surface gasping. He was laughing. It was a bit harder to breath with this mask on. I swam to the side and pulled myself out.

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"Somewhere where I won't drown!" I replied back.

"You did the exact same thing to me." Well, I guess I did, but you held me under way longer than I did to you.

I went over to the chair where I threw my stuff on and grabbed my towel and dried my hair and mask off. I looked at twitter and saw I was getting loads of tweets asking why I didn't post last night. I sighed. I can't take one Friday off? I tweeted 'Sorry, everyone I've been doing some traveling. I will upload sometime today.' I hope I can keep that promise.

I looked back at Evan. He was staring at me. "What are you looking at?" I asked.

"Nothing." He said, almost taunting me.

I dived into the water after him. We splashed each other and eventually Evan picked me up bridal style and was about to dunk me into the water.

"No! Vanoss, Please I'll do anything!" I said, trying not to laugh.

He looked down at me and smiled. I swear my stomach did a flip. "What will you do?"

"I'll- I'll.." I started to say but I stopped. I really just want to just kiss him now. But what if he doesn't like me? What if- I stopped thinking and brought my hand to my mask about to lift it up.
