Charlie had put on her bikini and threw on her white lace cover up. She snuck downstairs and out the back. She waited by the gate for Ryan. Ryan had walked up in his solid black swimming trunks and a towel over his shoulder. “Is there a secret password or can I just come in?” He asked Charlie who was gawking at his wondrously fit body.

She blinked and came back to reality. “What? No.” She said looking away to cover the fact she was blushing. Ryan noticed her blush and made sure he brushed against her as he walked by. Charlie blushed harder and Ryan smiled. Charlie watched as he threw his towel over on a lawn chair and dove in. The water flowed against his muscular body and she gulped at the dirty thought she should not be thinking. His head popped out of the water and his hair was slicked back and dripping down his face. He made eye contact with Charlie and smirked seeing how she was eyeing him up and down through the water.

“Are you going to join me or do I have to come get you?” He swam towards her.

“Um. Yeah.” She kept her eyes locked with his. “Let me just play some music. Yeah, music.” She gulped again at the thought of Ryan on top of her. She walked over the the speaker and played her playlist of 50s music. ‘Teenager in Love’ by Dion and The Belmonts began playing and she immediately skipped the song. The next song, ‘Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini’ by Brian Hyland, began playing and Charlie felt an arm grab behind her knees and around her back. She turned her head and saw Ryan picking her up bridal style. “Ryan! What are you-” Charlie was thrown into the pool and Ryan laughed until it hurt. The chocolate pup came running towards the pool at full speed. She push out of the water gasping for breath. “Ryan!” She looked at him and then at the brown figure rushing towards her. The pup jumped in after Charlie and swam to her. “At least this guy cares.” She said swimming to the pup. She held the pup and kissed its head. Once the pup saw that Charlie was not in any danger it began to swim to the steps. “Do you have any explanation for your actions, Mr Connor?” She had her hands on her hips with water droplets dripping down her face. He took a few long strides over to her and bent down.

“I asked you if you were going to join me or must I come get you and you replied yes, so I simply came to get you.” Ryan smirked and stood back up.

“Oh come on.” She crossed her arms.

“Alright.” He replied, and before she knew it, Ryan jumped in after her with a big splash. Ryan popped up and swam up to her and her frustrated face. “What’s with that face, love?” He brushed his hand across her cheek. “You said come on, so I came to you.” Charlie dropped her arms in the water and got out of the pool. “Love? Where are you going?” She tried to ignore his flirty, British voice and kept walking. She walked to the edge of the pool and jumped in after Ryan splashing him. She came up out of the water and saw Ryan with his face scrunched up and his eyes squeezed shut. He shook his hair like a dog and Charlie was giggling at his childlike actions. He dived down under the water and grabbed Charlie’s legs to pull her down. They both came back up out of the water and opened their eyes to find themselves inches apart. It was just like the dream. Charlie thought. Ryan inched closer and hovered his lips over hers. Charlie closed the gap and he put one hand on her lower back and the other on her neck. Charlie’s arm was wrapped around his neck and her other hand was in his wet hair. Their lips moved with bliss and passion. Charlie pulled away from kiss slowly, while using her teeth to pull his bottom lip with her. She let go and opened her eyes and locked them with Ryan. “Wow.” Ryan whispered under his breath.

“Yea. Wow.” Charlie whispered, arms wrapped around Ryan’s neck. Charlie felt loved and cared for as Ryan held her in his strong arms. He bent down and gave her hot peppered kisses down to her chest. He pulled at the top with his teeth. She never thought anyone would care or love her the way Ryan seemed to be doing. Was this real? Or was this just another way to be used? Charlie had thought. Charlie would not be able to handle being used again. She felt as if she was damaged goods and no one could love her. She thought Ryan could never love her. She dropped her arms off Ryan, and he let go of her. “Maybe you should go. I can’t afford to get caught.” She looked at the house, hoping no lights were on. Still dark. Ryan lifted her chin so she would look at him.
