Saturday afternoon, the pool

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette wanted to get away from crowds.

Laying out at the pool seemed perfect. The weather was great, she could work on her tan, and she could accidentally fall asleep and not worry about drowning. She had a crafy float. Uh-huh.

(pool's open.)
(ETA: but, uh, there's no working on a tan, since uh, the pool's in the basement! Aaa! *facepalm*)

Swimming and improving his tan were two very pleasant items on John's agenda for a lazy Saturday afternoon. He waved at Annette before he dove into the water, creating an average size splash.

Annette lifted her fingers in a lazy sort of wave, her float rocking slightly from John's splash. She closed her eyes and tilted her face up towards the sun, listening to him in the water.

John did couple laps the length of the pool before getting bored and swimming over to the side of Annette's float.

"Nice float," he remarked, floating on his back with his arms under his head.

Smiling, she barely opened her eyes and peered over at him, "Thanks. It's comfy too. Maybe I'll let you try it out later." Hee. John on a pink float is picture worthy.

"I'm doing pretty good on my own, so far," he replied, grinning up at her. "But should I tire from floating, I might just take you up on that." John resumed lazily floating, eyes shut, smile on his face.

"Be careful, don't fall asleep like that," she grinned and closed her eyes, loving the warmth of the day out in the cool water. Well, she wasn't in the water yet, but she might get in later.

"I might like sleeping like this," John said, turning circles by paddling his hand in the water. "I understand why people have waterbeds."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"I don't think I could have a waterbed," Annette pondered. "I might wake up seasick."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"That is a potential risk of the waterbed idea," John agreed. "But the floating sensation must be nice."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

She looked over at him, "You ever have a waterbed, John?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Nope," John replied, recalling years of tiny twin beds throughout his childhood. "You?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"No," she said, her brow furrowing. "I wonder how easy they are to poke."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"It couldn't be easy for them to break or people wouldn't buy them," John replied thoughtfully, changing direction in his self-propelled floating circle.

Annette rolled over on her stomach, laying over arms over the top of her float so her hands could dangle in the water. "True," she said. "I wonder how jumpable they are though. I mean, not that I jump on beds anymore." she said, grinning.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John chuckled, "That's something I'd like to try."

Not that John could know Annette had totally jumped on his bed that time with the scavenger hunt.

Annette would absolutely never admit to jumping on John's bed and totally messing it up. It was just too neat thus avoidable.

"Me too," said Annette, smiling wide and doing a little finger splash towards him.
