Falling In Love

Chapter Three

At one point during the summer I was in my pool helping my mom clean it. My gate opened and I had thought it was my brother because he had gone for a bike ride so I didn't turn around to see if it was him. But I knew it wasn't him when my mom started smiling and I turned around to find Connor standing in my backyard with his bike. I was happy he was there, but at the same time I was freaking out because he has NEVER seen me in a bathing suit, and I was FREAKING out! I'm pretty sure you girls understand that.

Then I got over it and I was talking to him and I asked him if he wanted to swim with me, and he said "I want to but I don't really want to swim in my boxers." I started laughing. "I don't want your step-dad to see me swimming with you while I'm in my boxers." He said with an adorable blush. It was funny to see him so nervous. Then I looked at him and I saw he was in shorts, and I said "If you don't mind wet shorts and boxers, you can just swim in your shorts." He looked SO relieved when I told him that.

He ended up swimming with me. Then fate had its way and my step-dad walked out onto the deck and said "why are you swimming wth my daughter? " He's just joking with Connor right now, but he doesn't know it. You can imagine how embarrassed I am right now, and that's not even the worst. Connor looked horrified and he was pretty speechless. Then he continued to say "you better not be pitching a tent right now, or I'll have to do something I don't want to do." I was SO embarrassed. So I told my step-dad, "Back off, I won't let him do anything stupid." As I'm standing there thinking about how much I want to attack his face right now.

We got done swimming and he stayed for dinner. We talked for awhile then of course he had to go home.

Freshman year came too fast that year...
