The Kissing Booth: Adult Edition

Fun Day At The Pool

One thing I loved about Lee, Marco, and even now Noah, was that I could have fun with them.

"What's this?" I glanced up from my book to see Lee plunking down four tickets onto the table. He flashed me a mischievous grin. "Behold. You are looking at four tickets to the biggest water park in South Korea." "Shinhwa Water Park?" I picked one up, scanning it over curiously. "That's right. Trust me, Elle; you've never seen anything like this before. They've got slides a mile high, and the wave pool- forget about it," he waved his hand. "Where did you buy these tickets?" "At that tourist attraction store downtown." "Were they expensive?" He lowered his eyes at me, still grinning ear-to-ear. "Elle, you can't put a price on fun- especially if it's at a water park." Uh huh, sure. "Have you told the others?" I set the ticket back down onto the table. My best friend waved his hand dismissively again. "No need; I already know they'll love this. Now go get ready! These tickets are only good for today!" Oh, ok then. So I guess we're doing this now. Needless to say, I didn't finish the breakfast I was in the middle of that morning.

And so the four of us hurried to grab our things and set off for the train to the famous waterpark. I'd personally never heard of it before, but judging by the looks of it, Lee did his homework. This was was huge! Like literally gigantic. Take the biggest wave pool in American and times that by ten. It was so massive, I feared we might lose one of us. But the boys didn't seem to share that anxiety. From the moment they first laid eyes on it, they fell hopelessly in love it- all three of them. We stood at the front of the ocean-size wave pool for a minute, taking in the scale of the place. But that didn't eat up too much time.

Lee was the first to run into the water, followed by Marco, and then finally Noah. They left me standing there by myself in my one-piece swimsuit, not hesitating to get all soaked and splash around. After a minute of pure enjoyment they all shared, they realized that I hadn't emersed myself into the pool yet. "Hey, come on, Elle! The water feels great!" Lee pronounced. I hesitated. "I'm coming.... eventually." "What's wrong, Elle?" Marco brushed the water off his face and looked my way. Noah was the last to pop his head up to the surface; he glanced at me and smirked. "What? You afraid to get all wet, Evans?" "I will! When I'm ready...." I countered, not so confidently. Noah rolled his eyes and marched right over to. My eyes grew as he proceeded to scoop me up princess-style and carry me forward. "Noah! Noah, what are you doing?! Put me down!" I began to freak out, seeing where this was going. Lee laughed hysterically. With one last smirk down at me, I was then dropped into the water, my back landing first. My head shot up as I took in a deep breath, and I shot Noah a monstrous glare- though I wasn't actually man. He responded with yet another cocky smirk. "See? That's not so bad, is it? Now we don't have to wait all day for you." This was met with a splash to the face.

We did it all- and I do mean all. We played in the waves, with Marco and Noah swimming up against them for some reason. We went to the diving boards, where we each took multiple turns diving into the deep pool. After that, we made our way back into the main massive wave pool. Lee and Noah both thought it was great fun lifting me up and tossing me back down again. "Noah, stop!" I laughed as he swooped me up again for the millionth time. When that was done, the boys thought it a great idea to get into a splashing war. News flash- it wasn't. Noah knocked Lee over twice, and I got caught in the commotion once. A big wave sent me flying back under the water, and when Marco dived in after me, he was met with another big hit by Lee. It should be no surprise that after all that, we needed a break from active swimming.

The hot tub was the perfect place to chill out- metaphorically speaking. I sat in between Lee and Noah in the bubbling water, while Marco sat next to Lee dipping his legs in. His arms were resting on the floor behind him and his head was tossed back in a lazy, content fashion. Meanwhile Noah grinned and turned his head in my direction. None of us had said anything for a few minutes, but it didn't feel out of place when Noah broke the quiet. "Getting hot, Elle?" My head shook mildly before I glanced to him, also smiling now. "No, just right. How about you? Getting too warm?" "Are you kidding? I could stay in here all day," he chuckled softly. I was about to say something else before a foreign voice cut me off. They weren't speaking to us per se, but to Marco in specific.
