It's been a couple of slow days. I fell in my usual routine, school, Tina, a couple of parties here and there,some shopping.

I haven't seen Noah and I'm starting to get symptoms of withdrawal.

I mean we talk daily on the phone or with texts but it's not the same. I can actually feel my lips itching everytime I think about him. He is so addictive! Once you pop, you just can't stop. Just like Pringles.

"Wanna spend the day on a spa?" Tina asks me while we are on are way to my house. Tha plan was to chill there and maybe work on some projects for some classes but I'm thinking that a spa might relax me.

"That sounds good. Let's do that." I say and I turn the car around with rapid motions.

"Whoa, easy there! You're gonna get us killed." She grabs with force the passengers door trying to maintain her balance. I chuckle a little under my breath. Ever since the accident she is a bit skittish when I'm driving.

"Relax, babe. Don't you trust me?" Smiling I peek at her.

"Um,no! Not anymore. Not since last time." She says with a flat tone and I shake my head amused, slowing down a bit. I don't want to scare her.

"Speaking of that, how's the lover boy? Did you meet up after the party?"

I frown instantly without looking at her.

"No. He's caught up at work these days and what time he has left, he spends it studying." I say and I feel I'm whining to her but, hey, that's what best friends are for!

"Well, that's what you get when you're involved with a nerd." She says with her bitchy tone while checking her perfect manicured nails.

I snort annoyed.

"I don't see you having better lack with a workaholic one."

She looks at me, her eyes googling, and then frowns defeated.

"At least mine is workaholic for the time being. Once your father gets back, he'll loosen up. Yours, though, will stay a nerd for ever." She says eventually.

I laugh a little and she looks annoyed.

"Yeah, keep telling yourself that." I say to her and she sticks her tongue out as a response.

After of couple of minutes we reach the spa establishment and walk up to the reception to book our time. Normally we would need an appointment, but I've spent so much money on this place, that they're eager to assist me anytime.

Snuggled in my comfy bathrobe I'm sipping my refreshing drink before we go into the sauna.

"Danny told me,you know.." I look at Tina with questioning eyes. She rolled her eyes before continuing. "What you told him about Noah. He was trying to fish information out of me." She says, her eyes gleaming with delight.

"Ew,no!! In exchange for sexual favors?" I ask disgusted wrinkling my nose and she laughs throwing her head back.

"You're such an asshole! No, of course not."

"Ok, that's better. I hope you kept your hole closed about any details." I look at her narrowing my eyes and she smirks.

"You mean how you're sexually frustrated?"

I gasp shocked by her comment and after a second i frown disappointed.

"Can you really tell?"

She scoffed out loud.

"No, of course not. You are always like that, stiff as a board and cranky most of the time." She marks sarcastically and i roll my eyes at her. "Are you kidding? Your face screams 'I need to get laid' and that nerd better put out soon or he'll condemn us to an eternal hell." She says smiling, playfulness gleaming in her eyes and I narrow my eyes. I know she was exaggerating but I can feel I'm not myself lately. I'm on edge for a great part of the day.

It's not sex what I need though, it's him.

I need to see him, to touch him, to kiss him. Just a small dose of my own personal drug and I'll be fine.

As I'm thinking about him, I hear the knowing sound of my phone beeping. I take it out of the bathrobe's pocket and when I see the name on the screen, my mouth is turned into a huge grin.

"Ok, let's go." Tina says and stands up.

"You go ahead I'll be there in a minute." I wave her off without even looking at her. She lowers her head over my shoulder to look at my screen and sighs.

"Oh,God. Please don't start sexting now! The last thing I want is you, horny in the sauna with me!" I laugh out loud with her reaction and shake my head.

"Get out of here!" I say and she turns on her heel, laughing and leaves me alone.

I chuckle a little and start typing.

And,boy, how much I like it…

I saw the dots in my screen light up.

One minute..

Two minutes…

And still nothing. He usually replies almost within seconds. Ok, that's weird.

.

I smile pleased with his text.

I'm under your skin now, enjoy the ride.

Ah-hah! He is a swimmer! That explains his body shape he's desperately trying to hide with his loose t-shirts.

I close my phone and walk over to the sauna. As much as I enjoy the talking part I really need his touch at this point. It's all I can think about! His soft lips on mine, making the butterflies in my stomach swirling around from excitement, the way his black hair feel under my hands, his firm hands on me…

Uggr… maybe I'm more than sexually frustrated after all.

The smell of chlorine hits violently my nostrils the moment I walk in.

I hear water splashing here and there but other than that the place is quite silent, which is reasonable given the fact that it is late in the afternoon.

I move closer to the large swimming pool, my heels echoing in the nearly empty space. I can see someone in the pool and I can feel it's him. I walk closer and take a better look at the guy.

Oh, that's my nerd, alright. I stand near the edge of the pool mesmerized by him. The way he swims, like a pro, his broad back standing out with that butterfly stroke,makes my mouth dry watching him in awe, my jaw dropping to the floor. I'm standing in front of him when he stop at the edge.

He removes his goggles, and looks up, squinting as the water slide in his eyes.

"Rachel? What are you doing here?"

"Well,you know what they say,if the mountain won't come to Muhammad…" i say and he smiles. He pulls himself up and crosses his hands on the edge and I lower myself in front of him. "Hey you…"

He flashes me a one-of-kind toothy grins and I can't help but smile the same way.

"Inpatient as ever, are we?" He says and crooks his head to the side taking in my appearance. I flick my hair back.

"Well, you know me. I like certain things my way. How's the water?" I say nodding to the pool.

"Why don't you find out yourself?" He smirks and i take off my heels and sit down in front of him while he makes room so I can dip my feet in. He has his hands on each side of me,trapping me, and I take a good look on his body.

Wow!

I mean wow!

I could tell he had a build up body but what I'm seeing right now exceeds my expectations.

His biceps are buff, his shoulders broad,his chest tight and well shaped and wait…

"Is that a tattoo?"
