Somehow, someway, we both got our work done and we were able to keep each other happy with occasional breaks for kisses and smiles. I shut my laptop and looked up at his smiling face.
"I have a question."
"And it would be?. . ."
"When you said you had bad experiences with girls Saturday morning, was this the reason?"
He nodded. "Yeah, I’m not very good at keeping secrets from people I care about, and I hate lying. That’s one reason I’m glad you now know about me. I don’t have to lie to you."
That made me happy inside and I kissed him for the thousandth time tonight. "I’m glad. When do you have to go home?"
He shrugged. "It’s only 8:00. What did you have in mind?"
"Who says I had something in mind?"
"I don’t know, but I think you do."
I smiled. "Wanna go swimming?"
"If you don’t get another headache."
"That wasn’t my fault. And now we know why I was getting them."
"I know. I don’t have a bathing suit though."
"I’ve got you covered." I pulled him down the hall to Zagger’s room. What a mess! I went to his dresser and rummaged through his clothes until I found a pair of swim trunks. I took longer than necessary to look for them because I loved the feeling of Mason’s hands on my waist from behind. Now I know what all the girls mean when I read quotes about wanting a guy to hold them from behind. It was amazing.
"You sure Zag won’t kill me if I use these?"
I shook my head and handed them to him. "He won’t even know. I’ll wash them and put them away before he comes home again." I went back to my room and into my closet to change into a swimming suit. I didn’t know which one I should wear, so I had to search through them all. I decided on a plain black tankini and quickly changed. I pulled my hair up and had to take a double look in the mirror.
I looked different. What was it? I look so much happier than I normally do, and there’s a slight glow beaming around my face. I smiled at myself. I guess love really does make you look better! I’ll have to keep that in mind from now on.
I grabbed a couple of towels on my way out of my bathroom and headed downstairs. Mason wasn’t in the house, so I went outside and found him doing laps in the pool. Dang, I wanted to check him out! I was not disappointed the last time we swam. His body is amazing! Who needs Taylor Lautner to be a werewolf when my Mason had an eight pack just like his? And he was a real werewolf! Not some actor! Sigh, I really am living a dream!
He probably knew I was out here with him, but he didn’t stop until he finished two more laps. I tossed our towels on a chair and waited on the edge of the pool with my legs dangling in the water. He was pretty fast, so I didn’t have to wait very long.
He swam over and waded in front of me. "You coming in?"
"Of course I am, I was just waiting till you finished."
"I’m done." He put his arms around me and gently pulled me off the wall and into the water.
"Mr. Nice Guy today?"
"Well you didn’t provoke me, so I decided I’d keep my wild side under control and be nice. Do you want me to be Mr. Weirdo?"
"No, I like Mr. Nice Guy." And I liked how he kept his arms around me and kept me from going under the water. I couldn’t reach the bottom, so if he let go I’d of had to wade while he stood on his own.
"Mr. Nice Guy really likes you, did you know that?"
I let my hands rest on his shoulders. "I kind of hoped he did."
He leaned in for a kiss right as someone jumped in the pool and made a huge splash. We looked up and seen Cliff flicking his hair out of his face and Abbie laughing on the side of the pool. I didn’t notice, but while Mason was holding me, he took us to the middle of the pool. That meant I couldn’t reach Abbie and drag her
in.
"It’s Jacuzzi time!" She said, running over to the hot tub.
I looked at Mason and he shrugged. "I don’t care if you don’t."
"Let’s go." He carried me to the end of the pool with the stairs and I locked my legs around his waist so he would carry me to the Jacuzzi. He grinned and continues without hesitation.
"You two are so cute! Cliff! Why didn’t you carry me out of the pool?" Abbie smacked him and Mason and I laughed.
"Because you weren’t in the pool!" He sat down next to her and slammed his arm around her neck.
"I guess that’s a good enough reason," she teased.
I was still in Mason’s arms and instead of letting me go when we were in the hot tub, he spun me around
and I was sitting on his lap. Awe!
"So why did you two disappear after those one dudes were at the shop? I didn’t even know they were there until they were gone."
Mason and Cliff exchanged glances and I covered up for them. "We were hungry, so we went out for a quick dinner. Then we came back here and did boring old homework before we came out here. You two got here right as we started swimming."
Mason squeezed my waist in thanks and I leaned my head back against his chest. Then realization just hit me! "You never took me to see your cars!"

if she could show you how much you hurt her,
you'd never be able to look her in the eyes again.
