Chapter 4 Pool Date

Sorry for the long update, people! Here's chapter 4! I'll start doing POVs (Point of View) it may be a bit easier to understand the different sides of the story, right?

Zack's POV

As soon as I turned my back to Cody, standing before me was Maddie. And Maria. Within 5 seconds, Cody and Maria were wrapped up in their own little conversation excluding Zack and Maddie. Maddie looked gorgeous as usual. She wore a light pink tankini, her hair up in a high curly ponytail. Man, did she look fine or what! My palms got a bit sweaty in anxiety. "Hey, Zack."

"Hey there, sweet thanng!" I covered my mouth in shock. Oops! We just met and already I screwed it up! Oh man! Surprisingly, Maddie was flustered by the name he just called her. She giggled. I sighed in relief.

"So, uh, how long are you staying here?" I asked.

"Only for a week, you?" she replied.

"Uh..." I had no idea how long Cody and I would stay here. Luckily, I was cut off by Cody.

Maria's POV

Cody and I had been chatting up a storm. We would've continued chatting the day away until my stomach grumbled. I blushed in embarassment. "Oops, uh, sorry about that."

"No problem. Hey Zack, Maria and I are going to the food stand near the changerooms to get something eat, okay?" Zack nodded. Cody grabbed my hand and we rushed to the foodstand. It's pretty convenient to have that nearby a pool. It was only at the foodstand where I realized I didn't bring any money with me. "What would you like, Maria?" asked Cody.

"I forgot. I didn't bring any money with me." I sadly replied.

"No problem. Stick with me and everything's for free." I got the feeling it was Cody's attempt at flirting. It was corny and I liked it. It made me laugh.

"Okay, Mr. Richman. I'll have a hotdog with ketchup, mustard, and...oh! Don't forget the relish! Can I have a side dish of fries? Maybe some ice cream for later. Oh! And I'd like some chips for..." I was cut off.

"Wow. I never thought someone as fit and good-looking as you would eat THAT much." said Cody in bewilderment. I laughed some more.

"I'm just kidding! I'll just stick with...some fries and a coke, please and thank you."

"Coming right up!" said Cody as he counted his change.

Cody's POV

Hey, she actually laughed. Who knew I was so smooth? I started counting my change and realized I only had enough money for Maria's hotdog, my hamburger, and one drink! "Uh..I only have enough for our food and one drink..."

"Like you said, no problem! We can just share one drink. That's...okay, right?" She replied. I never thought we'd share a drink.

"Okay!" I nodded. I paid the cashier. We got our food and just sat at a nearby table. Let me tell you this, I've never seen a girl scarf down her food like that. It made me feel more comfortable. I could act like, like...just a guy. You know burping contests and such. I reached for the soda to drink, she also decided to drink also. I sipped on one straw, she sipped on the other. We both stared at each other while drinking. Our noses almost touched. I was about to kiss her! Yay! Yeah! Wait till I tell Zack! She pulled away from the straw, I did the same. Our faces still close. Her hand started moving slowly. I like where this is going! Eew, no, not that far!

Anyways, she cupped my face in her hand. This is it! I'm going to lean in and...wait! She...but..I-I, what? Oh well. I got a little over my head there. All she did was wipe some crumbs off my face. I looked away blushing a light shade of pink. She giggled. "You didn't think I'd kiss you yet, did you?"

"Uh...I-I..." I stuttered. This made her laugh even more.

"You're so cute when you laugh, c'mon! Let's go to the pool. I think we've given them enough alone time." She grabbed my wrist and dragged me to the pool. Oh yeah! I forgot we left Maddie and Zack alone. Silly me.

Maddie's POV

Once Cody and Maria left, Zack and I just talked a bit more. "So, what are you doing Friday night?" he asked. I blushed at least twelve shades of red. I swear, I just met Zack today and I feel like I know him completely! When he flashes a smile at me, I feel my heart melt and the butterflies flutter in my stomach.

"Hey, we to have our first date before we think of the second one, silly!" I teased.

"Last one in the pool is the rotten egg!" I called as I raced off to jump in the pool.

"Hey! No fair!" I heard him call after me. Once we were both in the pool and lifeguard came up to us and reminded us not to run on pool decks OR dive in shallow water. Once the lifeguard was gone, we burst in laughter. Someday, I hope to be the futre Mrs...wait a minute. What's his last name again? I'll ask him later. I wonder where Zack and Cody take me and Maria after the pool.
