this is different from my other ones but I'm not sure how it is. tell me if I should go on

It was hot, nearly 105 degrees outside. Devin Stewart closed her window and let the cool air from the fan blow over her body. She laid down on her bed, pulling her t-shirt away from her chest where it was sticking with sweat. Unable to stand it anymore she got up and slipped into her black bikini and headed outside to the pool. She placed her towel, sunscreen, sunglasses, and cell phone on the patio table and dove into the cool water, she stayed under as long as possible then came up, gasping for air.

"Well hello there" a voice said from behind her. She jumped and swallowed a mouthful of water. Coughing , she looked up at the newcomer. It was her mom's friends son, Sean. He went to the same high school as Devin, they had known each other since they were in diapers.

"You scared the hell out me!" she said through the coughs. She took a couple deep breathes to stop the coughing.

"Sorry, that was not my intention." He looked down at her in the pool, which looked ever so inviting, and thought back to when they took their first swim class together. He remembered how he had envied her because of how quickly she had caught on. 'Everyone learns at their own pace' Miley had said, well in his opinion, his pace needed to be speed up. He smiled slightly as he reminisced.

"Happy birthday by the way," Devin said causing him to snap back to the present, "sixteen, jeez you'll be driving in a few weeks. Remind me to walk everywhere when that day comes." she joked.

"Ha Ha, hilarious."

"I thought so" she smiled "well don't just stand there, it's hot as hell out, jump in!" He removed his shirt and his shoes and did a cannonball right next to her so her could splash her as much as possible in the face. They swam for about an hour then got bored and went into the house.

"Hey Lily!" Devin said when she saw her mom's best friend in the kitchen with her mother. Lily was like the sister she never had, her mom said she tended to have that effect on people.

"Hey Dev, we were just talking about you." she said happily. "Don't worry nothing bad." she said in response to Devin's face. While Sean and Miley were talking at the other end of the kitchen about his birthday plans driving and other stuff, Devin seized the opportunity.

"Lily I need to talk to you about something after lunch. Ok?" she said quietly. Lily looked concerned.

"Of course hun." Devin smiled and joined in on Miley and Sean's conversation, Lily did the same.

"So what did you need to talk about?" Lily asked Devin once they were alone.

"My dad." She said nervously, "I just need to know something about him please, I think I have a right to know." Lily's heart skipped a beat she hadn't talked about him in years and didn't feel like she could anymore.

"Devin, I don't think I'm the right one to tell you that, that's your mother's job"

"But every time I bring him up, she changes the subject! She won't even tell me his name! Please Lily! Just a name!" She was begging now but she knew Lily wouldn't cave, she was tough .

"I'll try to talk her into telling you something later today, but I'm not going to give you any guarantees."

"I'll take it!" Devin hugged her fondly and left the room. Lily sighed she knew this day would come she just wasn't ready for it. After a while she followed Devin out of the room.
