into my eyes.
    “No, you’re the first,” he answered quietly. I swallowed staring at him then to his lips. I wanted to taste them again. The urge was fierce but I couldn’t give in.
    “Um,” I thought. “Let’s go get in the hot tub.” I said and lifted myself out. My pants hung down and I laughed as did Zane. I got out and water dripped all over me, my pants were heavy. I pulled them up a little. Zane jumped out and laughed.
    “Nice red polka-dot underwear Taylor.” He said laughing.
    I rolled my eyes and blushed a little.
    “Oh! Is Olivia Taylor really blushing?” he mocked.
    I laughed.
    “Maybe!” I said.
    He grinned.
    “Don’t worry I won’t tell the cheerleading team,” he whispered.
    “Brat!” I yelled laughing. He giggled and I pushed him back into the pool. I laughed and ran to the hot tub. My feet slid a little as I ran but something quickly grabbed me.
    “Zane!” I yelled. He laughed. He started backwards my feet slipping.
    “Baby, you’re going in!” he said. I laughed then turned and grabbed onto him.
    “Not without you!”
    He laughed, then as we slipped over the edge, we fell into together. I let go of him as we hit the water and rushed to the top and spitting out water laughing. Zane came up and was laughing too. We looked at each other and just kept laughing.
    “Come on Romeo I’m freezing!” I climbed out again and Zane slapped my butt. I swatted at his hand laughing. I sat down on the edge of the tub and let my feet in. It burned!
    “Is it hot?” Zane asked. There was a control on the side and he turned it on. Jets mixed the water up and I slowly slid my body into the water wincing slightly.
    “Oh man, it’s hot!” I said and giggled. He laughed and got in next to me. The water came up to my waist and I stood in the middle.
    “Wow!” Zane said his bare chest heaving up and down. It was so nice! Not the water; his chest. It was a little tan with little tiny freckles on it. I looked down at myself and saw I really was just in my red bra and pants. I felt suddenly self conscious of my body. I wasn’t the skinniest but I wasn’t the biggest. “Ooh!” he said wincing. I laughed. He looked at me and we both froze. I felt like he was looking into me feeling that I was a little uncomfortable. He sat down on the seat and I did the same slowly. It was silent for a while.
    “Why do you like Grant?” Zane asked suddenly. I frowned.
    “Um,” I thought for a moment. “I’m not sure.” I admitted. “I guess it’s because he’s….” why couldn’t I think of anything? This is nuts! I thought I loved Grant. But to tell you the truth he had no personality. For some reason he agreed with everyone, didn’t stand for what he believed in. Zane waited. “I don’t know. For once I’m not sure.” Zane nodded slowly looking away. It was quiet. Then Zane looked at me stood up then came to stand in front of me grinning.
    “Well you’re probably glad you’ve got a fake boyfriend like me!” he said pointing to himself. I rolled my eyes. He crouched down and grabbed my legs. I jumped and stared at him. He smiled. His hands rolled down my legs to my knees and grabbed me there. He picked me up and I reached for his neck. He sat back down and put my legs on either side of him. I gasped a little surprised. He was still grinning. I didn’t want my hands on his bare shoulders but I didn’t know where to put them. He had his on my back, comfortably. He looked at me and I could feel his chest on my stomach but I didn’t want to think about it. The water made bubbles around us with a humming sound. “Olivia,” he said calmly. “Look at me,” I didn’t want to but I did. Before we both even knew it, we were kissing. It was eager and passionate. We were holding each other tightly, my hands on his neck his somewhere on my back. I couldn’t tell my head was dizzy. I only knew where his lips were and how they felt on me. He kissed down my neck and I gasped with the
