I put on my swim suit and walk over to look in the mirror. Why am I being so self conscious? I grab a hair-tie while I slowly begin my way to the door.
"It's ok Isabel, Alex is just a guy. No big deal. He's seen you in a bikini hundreds of times and you've also seen him," I say to myself trying to ease the butterflies in my stomach.
I open the door and see Alex swimming laps. He really is a great swimmer and looks great doing it. I silently watch while he doesn't notice me before I jump in myself and start making a few laps. I am really stiff and rigid the first few seconds before I allow the water to relax me.
I glance over at Alex on the other side of the pool who still seems unaware of my presence. I decide against speaking up and continue making laps while trying to ignore his calm and care free presence in the water.

I hear splashing when I emerge from the water in the deep end of the pool and I turn around to spot Isabel on the far end...in a bikini!
For whatever reason I thought she would wear the swimsuit she always wore for practice...I think my knees are feeling weak.
'Is she trying to give me a heart-attack?'
Wading over to her at a slow pace I smile and run my fingers through my hair,smashing it down.
"So how do you want to do this?I don't know how much more you have to leanr in the back stroke.You seem pretty good at it."
We are within touching distance but I keep my hands close to my person,not wanting to touch her without cause in case she gets offended.
Thank goodness for the water because I am sure if we had been out of the water I'd be sweating buckets,clammy hands and all.

I hear Alex's voice and break my swim to wade. "So how do you want to do this? I don't know how much more you have to learn in the back stroke. You seem pretty good at it."
To tell the truth, my plan hasn't really gotten past this point. "Actually, I don't feel like practicing for that right now," I motion for him to come with me to the side of the pool so we can lean on the edge instead of tread water.
"I thought maybe we could talk a little. You know, to get to know each other a little better. You've been best friends with my brother all this time, and yet I don't really know much about you," I pause a little longer than necessary to look in his eyes and make sure he's on the same page as me, "so what kind of things do you like to do, Alex- besides swimming?"

"So what kind of things do you like to do,Alex,besides swimming?" she asks me as I swim up to her and hold on to the edge of the pool
Okay now do I make up some really cool hobbies or do I just be myself?What does one talk about with the Ice Princess of WRH?I think I'll just be honest,not like she is going to hang out with me again anyway.
"Yeah you're right,we do hardly interact even though Max is my best friend.I always thought that you wouldn't be interested in getting to know your younger brother's dork best bud." I say with a grin
Pausing to look at her I notice the serious expression on her face and mentally slap myself for fooling around.
"I like playing my guitar,it's not something I do in front of a whole lot of people...Max has heard me play and of course the guys from the band...yeah I am part of a garage band." I inform her when I see the look of surprise on her face
"We don't get to play together much ever since I joined the team,but the guys are kind enough to still let me play with them,what with my weird schedule now with swimming practice.I guess that's the advantage of being friends with them for so long."
Out of the blue I decide to ask her about her sudden interest in being friends with me.Where did this sudden surge of bravado come from?...I doubt I will ever know but I don't want to be toyed with.
"Isabel...this might sound rude but I am going to ask it anyway...Why the sudden interest to be friends with me?"

Liz doesn't say anything as the song ends and our feet slow. Her face is turned down, resting against my chest in a way that feels so warm and perfect that I can't even describe it. I keep my arms around her, looking at her hair. I don't want to stop but I do, finally standing there, holding her.
She looks up at me with a soft satisfied smile. "Liz...," I breathe, my voice again soft and husky. I can't seem to get my brain to come up with any other words. There's so many wonderful and strong feelings flowing through me.
This is probably wrong. I know this is wrong. We've barely begun this. It's too soon, but I can't seem to stop myself. I free one hand and run it over her hair from her forehead and back over her ear and down. So soft. So wonderfully brown. I lean forward and back, looking at her luscious lips. I pinch mine together and moisten them. I want this so much ...
Then, without concious thought, I do it. I lean forward again and my lips touch hers. The music has started up again, but it's like time has stopped. I kiss her. It's so sweet and tender. I feel like I've finally come home.
After a long moment, I pull back and smile into her eyes. My stomach is alive with butterflies as I wait for her response. All I want is to do it again...

"Yeah you're right, we do hardly interact even though Max is my best friend. I always thought that you wouldn't be interested in getting to know your younger brother's dork best bud." His words sting a little. Does he really think I'm that shallow? But I think the worst part is that it might be a little true.
"I like playing my guitar,it's not something I do in front of a whole lot of people...Max has heard me play and of course the guys from the band...yeah I am part of a garage band." I guess I never really did pay enough attention to Alex. I never realized how interesting he really was.
Alex talks about his band and then hits me with the question I least expect, or maybe the one I just really don't want to answer. "Isabel...this might sound rude but I am going to ask it anyway...Why the sudden interest to be friends with me?" To say I'm caught off guard is an understatement.
"Is it so wrong to want to be friends with you?" I say much more harshly than I really intended. But wait, why am I putting up such a guard and have to be cool? Alex obviously doesn't care about who I'm supposed to be or what I'm supposed to do to "protect" my image. I quickly change my attitude and debate about letting him see my true vulnerability. Well...here it goes. "I'm sorry, Alex. I just...I don't know. I saw you at practice today and, well, I had never really talked to you before. And..." I pause for a second to try to pull my thoughts together and contain some amount of my composure, "You're a great guy, Alex. I'm sorry I've never realized that before."
I look down in the pool to avoid his deep gaze, afraid of his reaction. I told myself that I would never let myself be this vulnerable again. But Alex seems different. Maybe I can trust him.

The moment my question is out of my mouth I realise that I probably sounded a little too harsh and Isabel's expression says it all.She looks a little taken aback by my directness and responds after a few moments,
"I'm sorry, Alex. I just...I don't know. I saw you at practice today and, well, I had never really talked to you before. And..." she says hesitatingly and I feel like kicking myself
"You're a great guy, Alex. I'm sorry I've never realized that before."
For a moment I am dumbstruck,I can't quite fathom what she just said or whether I am hearing things.After all these years of being content with just loking at Isabel and knowing that she is an unattainable dream,it suddenly seems like anything is posible.
"You don't have to be sorry...you're talking to me now.Everything happens for a reason,may be you and I weren't meant to be friends earlier on." I say kindly and give her hand a quick squeeze before dropping it

"You don't have to be sorry...you're talking to me now.Everything happens for a reason,may be you and I weren't meant to be friends earlier on." Alex takes my hand to squeeze it and lets go. I turn around to pull myself out of the pool. "Come on"
I take both of his hands in mine as we sit on the edge of the pool, "You are so sweet for saying that, Alex, but it simply isn't true. There is no reason why we shouldn't have been friends before." I look down and entwine one of my hands with his.
I look at Alex sitting there all wet. His hair is messy in a really hot way and his eyes are full of interest and passion. I glance down at his chest a second and notice his muscular form. As my eyes grace his abs I quickly look up as to not make myself too transparent.
Before I know it, my mind and mouth are doing two different things as I find myself barely audibly saying. "Alex, I know this is too soon, but..." my words linger off as I begin to lean towards him and move my free hand to the side of his face. I look down at his lips as I slowly descend upon them and my stomach goes wild in anticipation. About two inches from his face I stop and look into his eyes to see if he is on the same page as I am. I hope I'm not too obvious with how much I really do want this.

Isabel hauls herself gracefully out of the pool and seats herself at the edge and I follow suit.To my immense surprise she takes both my hands in her own and begins entwining her fingers with mine.
"You are so sweet for saying that, Alex, but it simply isn't true. There is no reason why we shouldn't have been friends before." she says softly and I start feeling a little self conscious as her eyes travel over my upper body
I'm sure I am blushing beetroot red right now.Isabel Evans,the girl of my dreams is sitting with me,holding my hands,she's so close that I can smell the fragrance she always uses...what is it vanilla,or lily of the valley?...whatever it is it's wonderful!
"Alex, I know this is too soon, but..." and I find her face not two inches from mine,the lips I've dreamed about kissing are ever so close,my heart is going to burst,I'm sure she can hear it pounding.
For a second I close my eyes when I feel her palm against my cheek,and open them again,taking that same hand in mine and turning it towards my mouth to place a gentle kiss on her palm,"Isabel...it's not too soon." is all I manage to get out before I kiss her.My free hand moves to her waist where it rests lightly.
Oh WOW!she's just like I always imagined.I keep the kiss gentle,not wanting to overstep my mark.Brushing my lips against hers I open my eyes for a second to look at her lovely face before drowning in the kiss once more.
