Chapter 8: making up
We had been in the driveway for a while now, no one really wanting to move. I felt better, happier even. I opened my door and stepped out. The sun was still shinning bright and I was going to take advantage of that. Zayn got out of the car too and carried me into the house bridal style. He kept walking through the house and back outside. I screamed and kicked all the way into the pool. The others joined me soon enough. Zayn climbed out, dried off, and started tanning. I did some laps in the pool of all of the strokes."Hey beautiful. Want to race?" asks Harry
"Sure but I'm really good so don't cry when I beat you."
"Haha beat Harry? That's impossible." shouted Niall.
We were going to do the 200 IM (a down and back of each stroke -fly, back, breast, free in that order.) Niall started us and we were off. Right away I was leading. My lead only increased on the backstroke but then it was time for my worst stroke, and least favorite, breast stroke. Harry was catching up. We were onto the freestyle and we were neck and neck. What he didn't know was that freestyle was my specialty. I took it out nice and slow just staying beside him pushing him but not wasting my energy. The last stretch I sprinted full out. Harry wasn't even a match for me. I was so close to the wall. Splash! right in front of me someone has jumped in. I try moving around him but he gets in my way again. Harry races past and beats me to the wall. I stop swimming and see that Louis is standing in my way.
"I wanted to apologize for earlier today." Louis said.
I splashed around as hard as I could.
"Are you still mad?" he asked
"Twinkle twinkle littler star" I said
"How I wonder what you are" he replied
"I wish I could hit you with a car." I finished.
Everyone cracked up and Louis face was priceless. He was like that's funny then he realized I was talking to him. He chased me in the pool but I was much faster than him. He gave up and I went in for a friendly hug but hit him on the shoulder instead.
"That's for the kiss." I said but then hugged him. "That's for apologizing." and I hit him again "and that's for the race."
He laughed and we hugged again.
