The pool, Thursday after classes

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"...and here we are! Ta-da!" Amber exclaimed, arms extended. "The pool, Hannibal, in all it's non-YMCA glory."

Amber had indeed, stopped by his room to see if he was ready to head to the basement, and to see if he had still actually wanted to go. It was a yes on both accounts and she couldn't have been more pleased.

Shrugging off her bag, slipping off her flip-flops, she grinned over at him. "Last one in is a rotten egg." And she ran the few feet towards the pool, diving in.

[Amber's here for Hannibal, who was modded with permission, but the pool is totally open, yo!]

He mock gasped again and shook his head. "I'll have to go home and write about this in my diary now, you know. It's pink. And has a lock."

"Uh-huh, and are you sure that diary doesn't have a femininely engraved name atop the cover?"

"I'll never tell," he said, going for his own towel. "I can only tell that you'll be going in my diary. That's right. In blue pink even."

"Oooh, you have me all atwitter!" she laughed lightly, wrapping her towel around her waist. "And under my name you will write...?"

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"That's a secret," he said, shaking his hair out and shooting her a quick smile. "For only me and my pretty pretty pink diary to know."

"You forget I know where you live," she said with a quick brow-waggle.

"Shall we head back? I want you to jot everythin' down while it's still fresh in that head of yours."

"We shall," he said, tossing his towel over his shoulder and bowing to her. "After you, my lady."

Smiling, she started walking. "I hope you enjoyed yourself today, Hannibal."

"Of course I did," he said, jogging to catch up and offering her his arm as gallantly as he could. "Good pool and good company."

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

Amber took his arm, feeling important. It was nice. "I agree. Maybe we can do it again sometime."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"I'd like that," he said and smiled at her. "Maybe somewhere other than the pool."

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"Maybe Caritas. We could...sing," she offered with a bright grin.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Or you could sing and I could drink," he decided. "Not much of a singer."

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"We could drink then sing. You can totally be backup and just stand there, wiggle your hips, and look pretty," she encouraged, 'cause she was helpful like that.

He laughed and said, "It's a deal."

Amber just smiled, gave his arm a little squeeze, and continued walking. She seemed utterly pleased with herself.

And Hannibal wasn't one to break up a comfortable, nice silence when there was a pretty girl on his arm. He just smiled and walked along, pleased as punch.
