We pulled up at the lake house and I couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement flitter through me. We had travelled a little ways south to get to the lake house, and the weather was so much warmer there. I got out of the car and was happy that I'd worn shorts.

"Look!Channing said, jumping out of the car and running to what looked like a dog pin. A happy wriggly puppy barked and moved behind the fence and Channing practically died of happiness.

"The sun is great down here, I get to work on my tan," Leila said, taking her bag inside the house. I followed her and she led me to the guest room. 

"Get changed up, and we'll go down to the lake," she said, turning and closing the door. 

I opened my bag and grimaced at the slinky two piece bikinis that I had bought over a year ago when I'd been popular. Max was going to see so much skin and that scared me. What if he didn't like what he saw? 

I gulped and slid out of my clothes, pulling a black bikini out of my bag and sliding it on. Ontop of that, I put on a tank top and white shorts. 

There was a knock on the door and I opened it.

Max was standing there, a towel over his shoulder, smirking at me, "Ready to go swimming?"

When we got to the lake, Channing peeled off his shirt in no time and was in the water while me and Leila spread out our towels to lay in the sun.

Max took his shirt off and I admired his sculpted abdomen and his strong chest, the way that the sun glittered off of him.

He smirked at me and jumped into the water, spraying Channing with water.

I slowly took off my shorts and my shirt followed, tossing them beside the towels. I couldn't help but have a victorious smile when I saw Max had stopped splashing and was standing straight up in the water, his eyes wide and his lips parted.

"You caught someone's attention," Leila said as she laid out.

"I noticed," I said, laying beside her.
