Benny would play baseball in any kind of condition of weather, all day, all night, rain, sunshine, tidal wave, whatever it was. And so would I, but it's not really baseball with two guys, more like catch. I think the pool is one of the things he tolerates best other than baseball, of course.

I know that the guys wanted to come here to supposedly see 'pool honey’s’ but I guarantee you if one of these women came up to them, they would pee their pants. They mostly came because they knew that Wendy Peffercorn was the lifeguard. I didn't come for that obviously, but only to swim and cool down from the inferno that we've been feeling for a while.

The guys stood in a group staring at Wendy and I was in the back.

"She doesn't know what she's doin'"

"Oh she knows what she's doing. She knows exactly what she's doing

I looked up at Wendy and immediately lost interest in her as she put on her sunscreen. I waded to another spot and looked back over at the guys. When I turned my head, my eyes traveled down to a faint six pack and toned skin in front of me. I looked into the familiar hazel eyes that looked straight into my own.

I felt blush come on to my face as I started to look down again. A voice snapped me out of my trance and a hand was placed on mine.

"You know my eyes are up here Pretty boy"

I looked back up into his eyes and he smiled. I blushed even more but smiled back.

"You wanna play a game?"

"Like what?"

"Colors, maybe?"

"Sounds boring, let's do it. How do you play?"

"Okay, what you have to do is let me hold you and guess the color I'm thinking. Basically like I spy but in water. If you get it wrong you get thrown into the water."

"Yeah, okay"

"Alright, let's start!"

I stepped the rest of the distance between us and his arm went under my knees and his other arm supported my back. My arms went around his neck when I almost fell immediately into the water. My stomach started doing flips when he smiled at me and I felt even hotter.

"Okay… Something blue"

"The water obviously"

Suddenly a cool rush of water surrounded my body and then I got pulled back up. I gasped and wiped my eyes of water.

"Wrong"

"Um…"

I wiped my eyes again and looked around the pool for something else that might be blue. I looked down to my waist and saw my blue swimming shorts, half floating in the water, the other half clinging to my skin above the water.

"Is it my shorts?"

"Yep… I see something… Cute"

I paused and looked at him. He was smiling and I felt hot again.

"Now I see something red"

"Shut up!"

I splashed him with water and he turned his head to the side to somewhat avoid the water. I felt myself dropping but I tightened my grip on Benny's neck making him fall in the coolness with me. He pushed me under the cool water more and I felt the bubbles on my face that I let out from a small giggle.

I moved my legs to stand upright but I was above the surface before I could even touch the pool bottom making my legs wrap around him. I opened my eyes to a very close Benny and warmness in my arms, legs, and waist. He opened his eyes shortly after and met mine. I could feel his slowing breath on my top lip and his grip on my waist got tighter. I didn't know why but I started to inch closer, him doing the same. We had a few centimeters left but then we heard a scream from multiple people.

"Squints!"

We pulled away at the same time to see the guys jumping and swimming towards the poolside. My arms unwrapped from Benny's neck and his from my waist. I missed the warmth but pushed myself onto the poolside.

I jogged over to the guys that were going towards the jumping board. I heard a splash seeing Wendy disappear into the water.

"Guys what did Squints do!"

"He was planning something and jumped into the deep end but he can't swim!"

We arrived at the board and looked over in the water seeing a small silhouette of what was supposedly Squints.

Wendy then popped out of the water with Squints and another lifeguard took him and laid him on the ground.

"Everyone get back"

“Now, roll him over"

"Nevermind, nevermind!"

Wendy crouched over Squints and started CPR on him. Suddenly it hit me. If he had a plan, and he knew Wendy was a lifeguard, so… The idiot is pretending! Squints, you are so stupid.

"Come on, Squints!"

"Come on, you can pull through!"

She continued to give him CPR and everyone was yelling for Squints to get up. I sighed and looked intently at Squints.

Wendy went to check his heart rate again. And then his eyes opened and he smiled at us. I crossed my arms and rolled my eyes at him while everyone else seemed surprised. He went back to being limp right after Wendy lifted her head from his chest.

How can't she feel his heartbeat?

When Wendy came back up to give him air, his hand flew up to the back of her head and he kissed her. My mouth hung open not expecting anything like this was what he was planning to do…

"Ahh! Little pervert!"

I kind of felt bad but not really since he brought this upon himself.

"He's in some deep shit!"

Wendy grabbed him off the floor and started dragging him out of the pool. We all followed closely behind.

She threw him out of the pool gate quite literally and we ran to him

"And stay out!"

I started to run to not start any more trouble and they followed after me. Well, all except one followed me since he's just as fast as me.

When we came back from the lockers, I ran around the pool and pulled my bag off my back, looking for my towel since I didn't feel like changing. The other guys did the same and they talked around the group. I couldn't find my towel but I remembered I left it on Scotty's bed. I mentally facepalm and stood up from my bag

"Okay, okay here's your glasses. Did you plan that?!"

"Been planning it for years, Hammy"

"You guys he knew what he was doing!"

"And when did you even decide to do this?"

"Well when you and your boyfriend were getting all lovey-dovey I decided my plan should take action"

"Wh-what?!"

"Yeah, I know I should have done it earlier"

"N-no I… You know what, nevermind"

I walked over to my bag that was on the ground and pulled the drawstrings making it close at the top. I slightly shivered from the breeze that had just come from nowhere.

We started walking home and I was shivering. The breeze got cooler as we neared nighttime. I held my arms close to my body and walked slower.

A towel appeared in front of me and I looked at the arm that held it. Benny had reached his arm a little more, wanting me to take it.

"Y-you sure? You m-might get co-old"

"I'll be fine. Take it"

I hesitantly took the towel and wrapped it around my shoulders. I instantly felt warmer and hugged it closer to me.

"Th-thanks"

"Don't mention it, see ya tomorrow"

"You're just gonna let me have it?"

"I mean, I have more. One gone won't make a difference"

"Alright, bye Benny"

"Bye"

I leaned over to kiss his cheek but this time his head turned towards me and our lips met. I was shocked by the sudden electrical surge I got from it. It wasn't anything but a peck but it felt amazing. Time started to speed back up when we departed.

"Squints isn't the only one who can steal kisses"

He smiled at me with tinted cheeks and I mirrored him. He ran off to his house and I stood in the middle of the road with the continuous flutter of butterflies, no, hurricane in my stomach. His towel around my shoulders had the same sweet smell he did. Nothing could compared to the warmth inside me.

"Y/N come on!"

"Okay, c-coming!"

I ran to the steps where Scott was waiting and entered the house
