"How are you and Clarissa doing anyway? Is it anything serious?" Brock, the local bread man, stuffed a couple of loafs into a small basket and handed it to the women he was currently helping.

Flynn shrugged and gave Brock a cocky smirk, "Clarissa's fine. You know I have a thing for brunettes and everything, but I don't really know how much longer I plan to keep her around."

Brock shook his head and turned toward Flynn. Flynn could tell that he was going to receive some sort of lecture and decided to skip out before things got all serious. He put his hand up and smiled, "Save it. I know what you're going to say, but you know there's no use in saying it." Flynn gave Brock a strong pat on the back, "I'm going to head down to the dock for a little while. See you later." He adjusted his satchel on his shoulder and started to walk down the stone path to the water.

Once Flynn reached the dock, he took of his satchel and took a seat so that his legs were dangling off the side of the wood. He dug out a loaf of bread that he had swiped from Brock when he wasn't looking and took a few bites from it. He looked out at the lake and let the sun warm the right side of his face. It wasn't long before he would have to go in for his shift at the Snuggly Duckling and he planned on enjoying the warm weather as much as he could. Flynn tilted his head back to look up at the clouds, trying to let his body and his mind unwind. As he brought his head back down he heard a loud splash to the left of him and turned to see what had caused the noise, but only saw ripples in the water where the sound had came from. He looked back up at the stone wall that surrounded the side of the lake to see if anyone had thrown a rock or something, but all he saw was a large cream colored bag and a lavender dress laid neatly on the wall. Quickly snapping his head back to lake, Flynn saw a head submerge from the water and could tell that the person was definitely female.

Flynn watched as the girl swam back toward the other dock not far from him and climbed out of the water. She was stripped down to only her underwear and she looked quite young, possibly eighteen or so. He figured he should probably look away as she walked back to retrieve her dress and bag, but for some reason he couldn't. Someone had to be seriously out of their mind if they really wanted to dive into the lack in their underwear in Corona. It was definitely something that was quite frowned upon in their society. Flynn continued to watch her as she twisted her brown hair and let the water fall on the stone and then quickly slipped her dress back on. He was about to look away when the girl suddenly looked out at the water as if she were looking for something particular. Flynn felt himself sharply inhale as he noticed her big, green eyes for the first time. They were absolutely stunning and he wished that he could get a closer look. Actually she was just stunning period. Her brown hair showed a hint of gold due to the sunshine, he complexion was radiant even after jumping into the cold water, and her figure was perfect. Flynn held his breath and anticipated her eyes to flicker down at him at any second, but instead the girl just ran her fingers through her hair and then walked away as if nothing had ever happened. Flynn shook his head as he turned his attention back the lake. He had never seen any woman pull something like that before and based on how comfortable she seemed with the situation, he could tell it wasn't the first time that she had done something like this.

The kingdom bell began to chime behind Flynn indicating that it was five o'clock. Seeing as his shift started at five thirty, Flynn decided he should probably make his way over to the Snuggly Ducking. He got up slowly and groaned once he was fully standing up. Clarissa said she was going to surprise him at work, meaning she would most likely stick around till the end of his shift and he would be forced to spend time with her afterward. Why do I have to get myself into these things?

"Hey there stranger," Clarissa attempted to capture Flynn's attention by giving him a sexy smile, but he was more focused on the mugs he was cleaning.

"Hey. What are you still doing here?" Flynn looked up from the current mug he was cleaning to the clock that sat on the wall. It was about 11 o'clock and they were closing early for the night. He realized that she probably wanted to mess around a little tonight and he wasn't completely against that idea, but he just didn't like kicking her out or trying to sneak out in the morning.

"I thought I would come and surprise you. I figured we could go walk around Corona a little bit and then maybe head back to my place." Clarissa leaned over the counter, which caused her low cut top to slide even lower and expose more of her chest. "Sound like fun?" The gorgeous brunette's voice came out very sultry and at this point she could have had any guy eating out of the palm of her hand.

However, Flynn was not amused. "Sure. Let me just put these glasses away and say goodbye to Hook and then we can go." Flynn placed the classes beneath the bar and then disappeared to say his goodbyes.

Once he returned he saw Clarissa standing at the door with a giddy look on her face. It was obvious to she was completely head over heels for Flynn, or so she thought, while he was just having fun with her. He didn't actually have those sort of feelings for her, he just wanted to get laid at the end of the day and since she was easy on the eyes and decent in bed, he figured it wouldn't hurt.

Flynn remained silent as Clarissa began to talk his ear off. The only things he could really make out were that she was hit on by some "nasty" man at the book store earlier that day. The sole purpose of telling the story was most likely just to make him jealous.

"Do you want to go down by the lake?" Clarissa smiled at Flynn. She knew that looking out at the water was one of his favorite things to do.

He shrugged and flashed her a smile back. "Sure." The two made there way down the walk way toward the lake and stopped at the same stone wall he had seen the green eyed girl as before. As he leaned on his elbows and started to look at the moonlight reflecting on the water, he couldn't help but think about the girl. He knew almost everyone in Corona, but he had never seen her before, he was sure of it. He wouldn't forget a face like hers and her strange nature, which for some reason seemed more attractive than anything else. He wasgetting ahead of himself though. He had just seen her for the first time a few hours ago and didn't even know her whatsoever. One thing was for sure though, he wanted to see her again.

"Hello? Earth to Flynn. Did you hear what I said?"

Flynn quickly turned his head toward Clarissa and blinked at her a couple of times, "What? Oh, no. Sorry, I was just thinking about something."

"Are you okay? You're acting strange tonight. Did I do something?" A panicked expression took over her features and Flynn was afraid that might actually start crying.

"No! You didn't do anything. I guess I'm just tired is all." He shrugged again and quickly cleared his mind. He gave her a cocky smile and turned his body toward hers. He reached out his arm, placed his hand on her hip, and brought her closer to him. "How about you and I go back to your place and relax?" Flynn leaned in and caught Clarissa's lips with his own. He could tell that she was practically melting in her arms and gave himself a mental pat on the back.

Once they broke their kiss Clarissa gave Flynn what was supposed to be a seductive smile. "Okay, let's go." She intertwined her fingers in his and they both turned around together to walk back up the road.

Flynn continued to smile at Clarissa, but then turned his head in order to lead them both in the right direction. However, he stopped dead in his tracks when he saw a familiar lavender dress pass about ten feet in front of them. It was the girl from the lake again and she looked even more stunning than she had before. Now that her hair was dry, Flynn could see her natural waves as her hair blew behind her as she walked. She seemed to be completely oblivious to the fact that Clarissa and him were even standing there and kept her bright green eyes focused ahead of her. Flynn continued to watch her as she walked away and could feel his heart pounding in his chest. It was like nothing he had ever experienced before. He wanted to call out to the girl, but he didn't dare.

Flynn's trance was broken when he felt a hard squeeze from Clarissa's hand in his own and her voice asking if he was okay. She sounded annoyed and he assumed that she probably interpreted his actions as him checking the girl out- which he technically was.

"Yeah, sorry about that. She just scared me." He turned to Clarissa and gave her what seemed like a genuine smile. He had to play his cards just right if he still planned on getting laid tonight.

His words proved to be convincing as he saw Clarissa's face light up and felt her bump him with her hip. "That's all right. I guess I'll just have to work extra hard to calm you down." She gave him a quick wink and Flynn did everything in his power not to shoot her a disgusted look back.

Flynn didn't say anything and just lead them up the stone path to Clarissa's place. The whole way there she continued to ramble about meaningless things, but all Flynn could focus on was the mysterious girl he had now seen twice that day.
