 (3 months later)

Blake and I were playing football together under the blazing sun in my backyard. I kept winning so he was growing more and more frustrated with me but I laugh at it every time.

"I guess you'll just have to accept that I'm better than you," I smirk.

"No way, Bell," Blake says as he throws off his shirt and continues playing. I have to admit, it was pretty hard to not stare but I managed to keep my cool.

"She shoots and she...SCORES!" I comment on my own actions doing my own little victory dance.

"I have to say, I only lose to Reece so it feels weird losing to someone else."

"Haha!" I continue doing my own little dance and he rolls his eyes. "I'll be right back!" I had an idea and I ran up to my room and got changed into my bikini.

I run outside screaming, "CANNONBALL!" and jump into my pool, soaking Blake head to toe. He takes his shoes off and jumps in right next to me, still in his soccer shorts.

"This feels so good, oh my gosh." I sigh and float on top of the water.

"I'm probably getting so sunburnt today but I don't care, I'm never leaving this pool." He floats by me and we stare up at the clouds above us.

"Tell me things about you I don't know." He says out of nowhere.

"well you pretty much know everything but I'll go over it again." I laugh slightly. "My favourite colour is blue, and there's no specific reason why except that it's a pretty colour. My favourite animal is a giraffe. I only eat milk chocolate and refuse to eat any other types. If I could choose one food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be grapes." I say to the sky.

"yeah I pretty much knew all of that except for a couple." we both laugh before he starts. "I love all the colours but if I had to choose, my favourite would be orange.  I'm allergic to watermelons. I prefer red grapes over green grapes. My shower song is Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye. I want to have Spider-Man's powers and I'm definitely not a morning person" Blake finishes. (A/N actual facts about blake if you didn't know.)

"I knew like two of them. I'm getting pretty thirsty. Do you want me to get you anything?" I ask while getting out of the pool.

"It's fine, I'll just come with you." He follows me into the kitchen.

"Do you want a coke?" 

"Sure!" I pull two cans out from the fridge and hand him one. "This is one thing I can't live without." I smile as I take a sip. We grab a couple of snacks before hopping into the pool again. We're in the water for another two hours before we decide to go back in. 

"shoot," Blake mutters when he grabs his shirt and shoes.

"What's wrong?"

"I didn't bring an extra pair of shorts and I don't want to go into your house soaking wet."

"don't worry, I've got a couple pairs of my older brothers sweat shorts that you can use."

"Thank you so much." I was about to turn around before Blake grabbed my wrist. "Is this a new one?" Blake touches my newest tattoo I got a couple weeks ago. it's a simple little mountain range on my right rib cage, a little under my bikini top. "Yeah I decided I wanted it, so I got it a couple weeks ago. It's probably my last one, I don't want to get too many."

"I love it. It's very pretty."

"thank you!" I walk up to my room with blake following close behind me.

"y' know after all this time of being at your house, I don't think I've ever been in your room." He realizes.

"Well, here it is! It's not too much but I love it." My room had a world map wallpaper on the wall behind my bed and opposite my bed, I had a TV that I use more than I'd like to admit. On the left side of the TV, was my closet and my bookshelf. My bathroom and dresser was on the right side.
