• what did tiffany want? •

the basket tapped against leg

as we wandered into the musty

and chlorine infested atmosphere.

• nothing much.

just wanted to share some poetry

with me. •

• oh. •

he was quiet that day.

it wasn't odd.

just comfortable;

i guess.

• it's so hot

i muttered;

and he stroked his face all cocky.

• can we have the picnic at the local pools? •

he screwed up his nose

but noted my disappointment.

• only for you;

my lady. •

as we strolled through the sliding doors

into the land of excited children

he winced.

• scared of a little water? •

he glared.

oh.

sorry hayden.

i didn't know. •

• can we just eat?

i'm starving. •

the food was great

(except the chocolate)

but the cool of the water

was staring at me in the face.

• you have your bathers? •

• always with me

just incase •

• aren't you a strange little bird? •

i winked at him.

• you're definitely not coming in? •

he didn't answer.

my toes tickled the cool surface

of the water;

and suddenly my whole body

was surrounded by it

all at once.

• hayden! •

• you called? •

he crouched down

at the edge of the tilled pool

smirking cheekily

as i floated

buoyant

before him.

• that's it. •

i said;

and tugged on his skinny arms

for him to fall in beside me.

he squawked when the water replaced the air

around his body

and yet i treaded water;

holding his hands.

• can't swim! •

he coughed;

and i placed his hands on my shoulders.

• thank you •

he muttered.

• you're welcome •

i began to say;

but water interrupted the words forming

in my mouth.

he splashed me?
