"Wait, you're telling me all day you just wanted to sleep and now you want to go swimming at twelve pm?" I asked the boy who was giving me pleading eyes.

"Obviously." He rolled his eyes sarcastically.

"I'm tired though. I wanted to swim all day and you didn't even bother to get up." I buried my face in a pillow and groaned into it.

"But I'm not tired anymore." I lifted me face off the pillow and looked at him. He held a huge grin on his face.

"You would be if you weren't on your game since like five in the morning." I gave him a sarcastic smile.

"You wouldn't be if you were up at five with me." He returned the sarcasm.

I rolled my eyes at Vinnie and laid my head back down.

If it wasn't noticeable before, we spent the whole day inside. Vinnie thought it was a great idea to stay up all night playing Call of Duty. I don't blame him, I mean it's summer time.

I just didn't know he would want to sleep must the day. I had went to sleep way before him, probably around one or two in the morning.

Now, at twelve am, he wants to go swimming. I know he won't let me sleep like I wanted to. I also didn't feel like arguing about it until the sun came up. So instead, I let out a long exasperated groan before getting up.

"I'm gonna change." I said once I bent down to my suitcase. I rummaged through it until I found my two piece in the mess of clothes.

"Yes!"

I changed in the bathroom and waited outside his door until he opened it. I didn't want to go in and see something I shouldn't.

I quickly grabbed my phone once he opened the door and followed right after him going downstairs.

I don't mind swimming at night, but it sure felt weird when everyone else was asleep. It kind of felt illegal.

I hadn't noticed Vinnie grabbed towels until I saw him set them down on the chair.

"Turn on the light, Mars." I stop walking and backtrack to the door and turn the light on. I close the door behind me.

"Lights on." I said walking up to the pool.

I get suspicious when there isn't a response and I could feel the fear rise. I just know he's going to scare me and nothing can prepare me for it.

"Vinnie." I said in more of a whisper. After no response I speak again. "It's too late for this. I'm not playing dude, come on."

I look around, but the light wasn't that bright from where I was standing.

"Okay, you're scaring me, I'm goin—" I was cut short when arms wrapped around me and I screamed. My mouth was filled with water the minute I was in the pool.

Once I reached the surface I began coughing. I swam to side of the pool and lifted my arms on the side to hold me up as I choked on straight chlorine water.

I could hear Vinnie laughing behind me before his presence was at my side.

"You're such a dick." I said as I splashed water in his face. I had finally gained my composure and pushed myself from the side of the pool. "I almost had a heart attack and drowned at the same time."

"You didn't though."

"I almost did, asshole."

"Look, I wasn't going to do it. I had changed my mind, but then you called me dude." He moved towards me. Amusement was written all over his face.

"What's even wrong with me calling you dude anyways, dude?" I asked him.

"Don't test me." He said with a straight face.

I bit my lip to keep from smiling, which ended up failing. "Just why?"

"Cause I'm not your dude, dude." He punched my arm lightly.

"You're definitely my dude. Thought we established that like a month ago, dude." I punched his arm back.

"Stop." He backs up.

"You still shouldn't have don't that, we could wake up everyone."

"They won't, where do you think i get my heavy sleeping from. Reggie and I always swim at night." He laughed.

"Oh right."

I don't know how long we spent in the pool. Let's just say, we were really loud. We spent the whole time just goofing off. I still was hesitant with how loud and felt paranoid that we were gonna wake people up, including neighbors. We were lucky to say the least that not once were we interrupted.

I'm not going to lie, swimming at night was fun, even if I was paranoid the whole time. It was extremely late at night, and we had finally calmed down.

I had always said I wouldn't be that one couple in the pool that's just there. I told myself I wouldn't be that girl cling to her boyfriend in the water. Yet, here I was with my legs wrapped around Vinnie's torso and his arms around me.

I was tired alright, you can't blame me. Actually, yeah blame me. I told myself I wouldn't be that person, but I am that person.

The once warm temperature had gone cold since we were no longer energetic and had cooled down.

"Can I kiss you?" I looked up at Vinnie a smile on my face from his question.

"Yeah, you dork." My smile didn't leave when his lips met mine. It was a short and simple kiss on the lips. It still left that erupting feeling in my stomach that he always gave me.

The feeling didn't leave when the kiss ended. Vinnie looked at me with a smile on his face.

"What?" I asked him. I could feel heat rise to my cheeks.

"Nothing, I just still can't believe you're here, with me, right now. Just doesn't feel real." If I already wasn't blushing, I definitely am now. No matter how corny that was.

"Better believe it now than when it's too late." I laughed. It was silent for a short moment.

"God, you're so beautiful." He whispered.

"Oh my god, stop." I buried my face in his chest.

"I'm just speaking facts." I felt him shrug.

"Thanks, but shut up." I laughed lightly.

"You're welcome, but no." He replied with the same tone I had given.

"You're so annoying." I mumbled.

"I know. Are you ready to get out?" He asked me.

"Yeah, I'm still tired as hell and it's starting to get cold in here." I replied and removed myself from his grasp.

I wrapped a towel around me once we got out and sat down on a chair. I grabbed my phone, that I forgot I even brought out here and took a video for snapchat. It was just of the pool and Vinnie who was sitting across from me. I finally saw what time it was when I go to put the time on the snap. It was almost two thirty.

We were out here longer than I thought. I thought it would've been like an hour. I didn't notice that the time moved by faster than it had.

We stayed out a bit longer after getting out the pool just making sure we were dry enough to go inside. My hair was still wet when we finally got up to go inside, but it wasn't dripping.

Neither of us bothered to shower since it was so late. I just changed into shorts and one of his shirts for bed. I climbed into bed next to him and put my phone on the charger before turning in the bed to face him.

I moved closer to him as he wrapped his arms around me and had gotten comfortable. I don't think I could ever get used to cuddling with him. It was always comforting and warm, but it still felt new.

It was only been a few days, but since a i've been here all we do is cuddle and stay in bed for the majority of the day. It's almost been a week since I've been here and we haven't done much.

"Goodnight." I yawned. I heard him yawn after me.

"Night."

It wasn't long before I feel asleep, finally getting the sleep I wanted two hours ago.

hey guys ! i know it's been so long, a little over a month ? I'm not really sure.

I'm doing better than I was since I wrote last. I finally have motivation to write atm. I don't know when I'll write the next chapter, but I hope that this satisfies it for now.

While being off and only replying to your nice comments and reading, I made a friend lol. It's kinda funny tbh because he's like "i've never heard someone say that before" bc i say words like dope, slaps, and other words and it's funny.

so i'm doing way better than i was before. other than the fact that i recently got a stye that has me crying literally all the time because it hurts to blink and keep my eye closed, i'm good.

i hope you guys are doing fine during quarantine and working on yourselves, etc. I love you guys and be safe.

also it's like 5:30 AM so i should really sleep but it's really hard.
