I'm yours

Part 22

„It's so freaking hot…“ Beth moaned and sighed while cooling herself with a catalog she grabbed under the table. “I can’t help you there.” Beth smiled when she heard vibrations from Sebastian’s voice through his shoulder that she was currently leant onto; it always made her laugh. “Meh… I should buy an air conditioner or something.”, “I think there’s a store 4 blocks from here.”, “There is? Huh…”, “Are you bored? Are you hot? If your answer is yes, then come and visit our newly opened swimming pool…” a commercial that showed up on TV got Beth and Sebastian’s attention. “That is one of the shittiest advert I’ve ever seen.” Beth first said after staring at the flat screen of her TV. “Well, maybe it’s not the best, but it does the thing. Why don’t we go to the pool? We’re bored and hot.” Sebastian suggested and imitated the voice of the narrator from the TV, which caused Beth to burst out laughing, as usual. She looked at the clock and nodded. “Sure, it’s only 3 o’clock, we can still make it.”, “Great. How about in 5 minutes?”, “Deal.” They quickly arranged time and went to pack their stuff.

 Beth just stuffed two big towels, spare clothes and a swimming suit into her backpack and changed into black shorts and dark grey tank top. ’Good thing I shaved the last night.’ She thought and remembered how it took her half an hour to shave, without her glasses on. After turning off the lights and closing the balcony door, she got out only to find Sebastian waiting for her. He also changed clothes, with now wearing black pants and a v-cut T-shirt with a matching color. “Damn, you’re fast.” Beth said in surprise while locking the door. Sebastian’s deep chuckle echoed through the hall and caused goosebumps on Beth’s skin. ‘Woah… Need to get used to his voice.’ Beth self-noted herself and walked into the elevator. “By the way, what is the shittiest advert you’ve ever seen?”, “Hm. I think the first place will take the vacuum cleaner one. You know, from the 1998.”, “Is it the one where the vacuum cleaner comes to life and starts ‘cleaning’ the house?” Sebastian asked while laughing at the every other word, followed with Beth’s laughter and her nodding. “That was fucked up.”, “Yeah, it was a little creepy.”, “What else you got?”
All the way to their destination, they were talking about old commercials, laughing at them and laughing at their jokes.
“Wow, we’re already here.” Beth commented and unbuckled her belt, with no problems this time. “Yup, time flew by fast.”
After buying the tickets, they went to change into their suits.
‘Oh, fuck me. Not again.’ Beth thought and sighed while looking at her, now too small, swimsuit. She should have look at it at home and maybe stay there. But then again, Sebastian suggested it and he kind of looked forward to it. It wouldn’t be nice to refuse, right? Right.
“Holy fuck!”, “I know, right?” Two high-pitched voices suddenly filled the dress-room. Beth sped up her changing because she hated persons with that kind of voice. At some point, if she was really irritated, it could make her cry. It was kind of a desperation cry and she had to be really irritated for that to happen. “Did you see that?”, “Yeah!”, “I-I can’t even describe it! All those muscles a-and… oh Jesus.”, “Mhm!”, “I even think he was looking this way.” ‘Teenagers.’ Beth thought and got out, only to find two women, definitely not teenagers, stuffing some sort of that push-up sponge or something into their tops. She pretended she didn’t see it and quickly got out.
 Across the women’s were the men’s dress-rooms and a few benches in between them. On one of them sat Sebastian with his backpack in his lap, looking at her way. As soon as he saw Beth coming out, he stood up and headed to her.
At first, Beth stared at Sebastian, just to make sure it was him, and then made a few steps to him. “No, seriously, how can you change so fast?” He must have been waiting for her for 5 minutes or so. “It’s a secret. Which I’ll probably share with you some day, but today is not the day.” He simply said and smiled at her. “You will? Wow, thanks.” She said after her session of laughter.
“We somehow match outfits.” Beth joked after finally noticing his knee-length dark blue trunks. “Oh, yeah, we do. Only yours is a little… small.” He added after a short break. “Oh, God… Don’t mention it. I forgot to buy a new one…” Beth awkwardly said with a blush and turned her head from him. “I didn’t say it looks bad, though.”, “Shut up…” she said and blushed even harder.
“Hold my stuff, please.” Beth seriously said and handed her bag to Sebastian, who confusedly watched her leaving to the bunch of guys, but then relieved when it was actually a hot-dog stand she was walking to. “Figures.” He concluded when she happily came back holding two hot-dogs.
