A/N: Here's another James/Daisy fanfic, this one about the party at James' pool. Thanks for the great feedback on the last story. I'm so glad that I wasn't the only one who thought James and Daisy were being hugely neglected on here. Enjoy and please send those reviews!

A Poolside Story

Chapter 1

James was already in his swimming trunks and waiting in the driveway with Remy and Christina when Daisy pulled up with Rafe and Ashlee. He was playing really cool on the outside but on the inside he was really looking forward to spending more time with Daisy, especially with her in a bikini. Last night camping with her was the best night he had had with a girl in a long time. Things had definitely changed between them and he wasn't quite sure what they were to each other yet but he was going to figure that out tonight.

"Hey," he greeted as the three climbed out of the car.

"Hey," Daisy replied smiling, "You guys haven't been waiting long have you?"

"Nope," Remy told her, "We just got here a few minutes ago."

"Yeah, we were just hanging out talking until you got here," Christina added.

"Cool," Ashlee said, swinging her bag onto her shoulder, "So where can we get changed?"

"Uh, you just grab a room, it doesn't really matter where," James said.

"Okay, girls," Christina said walking toward the house, "Let's go."

"Aw man, you girls can't even go alone when you get changed," Remy protested, eliciting snickers from Rafe and James.

"Hey, we haven't had a chance for any girl talk in a while so you just leave us alone," Christina retorted.

"See you guys down at the pool in a few minutes," Daisy said as she followed her friends into the house.

"Let's grab a room with a bathroom attached to it so we can talk longer," Ashlee said as the three friends headed upstairs.

"Okay," Christina said. They grabbed a room and as she headed for the bathroom to change first, she asked Daisy about the camping trip.

"What camping trip?" Ashlee asked perching on the bed.

"Oh, just the one she went on last night alone with James."

"Really?"

Daisy rolled her eyes, "Come on guys, it wasn't that big of a deal." She tried her best to brush it off but that was hard to do as she pulled out her swim suit.

Ashlee's eyes got wide as she held up the string bikini. "I haven't seen this one before, well what there is of it."

Daisy sighed dramatically, "If you must know, all of my old ones don't fit right anymore so I had to buy that one after work before I came to get you."

"Well, in my experience, girls don't just grab up a suit like this on an impulse or in a rush."

Christina came back out of the bathroom and her surprise was as big as Ashlee's. "Geez Dais. What did you do, sleep with the guy?"

When Daisy's only response was to wordlessly open and close her mouth, Ashlee laughed, "You did!"

"I'm not having this conversation right now." She got up and practically ran to the bathroom but she wasn't fast enough because they bombarded her there.

"So tell us. We're your best friends and we deserve to know. Did or didn't you?" Ashlee asked.

After a slight pause, Daisy sighed, "It's… possible. But before you ask how it was or anything else you might feel you need to know, let me repeat, I'm not talking about it."

"Oh girl, we don't need to ask anything else because the answer is written all over your face," was Christina's snappy comeback.

All three girls burst out laughing as Daisy pushed them out of the room so she could change. When she came out, stepping aside so Ashlee could get in there, she fielded one more question. "So is he like your boyfriend now?"

Daisy paused, not totally sure how to answer. Then she shrugged, "I guess so."
