Chapter Seven: The Swim and The Interruption

I looked all around the girls dorms for Bridgette, but couldn't find her anywhere. Great. Now who am I going to go swimming with? Wait! Me and Bridge exchanged numbers on the bus ride!

I pulled out my green Rumor 2 with a Coach cover and looked in my contacts for Bridge. As soon as I found her number I started to text her.

Hey Bridge, where are you? ~MissIndependent (A/N: sorry, I couldn't think of a better name for her :/ Anyways, continue)

I just stood outside for the dorm for a few minutes, waiting for Bridgette to answer.

Won't listen to any advice, Mamma's tellin' me I should think twice

But I'm left to my own devices, I'm addicted, it's a crisis

My friends think I've gone crazy, My judgment's getting kinda hazy

My steeze is gonna be affected if I keep it up like a lovesick crackhead

I heard a few lines of "Your Love Is My Drug" by Ke$hago off on my phone and looked down to see I got a text from Bridgette.

Hey Courtney, I'm at the pool. Wanna come join me? ~SurferChikk

I looked at the text and smiled as I typed back quickly.

That's funny, I was just about to ask you to go swimming with me. Be there in a few. ~MissIndependant

I put my phone in my Aeropostale beach bag, along with my towel, book, and sunglasses, as I walked to the other side of the campus to find the pool. As I walked I noticed how beautiful it really was up here. The mountains that you could see over the ocean water, all the trees, and just the natural beauty of it all. I soon saw Bridgette standing outside the door that lead to the Olympic sized swimming pool. She waved me over to her and gave me a hug when I got there.

"Hey, you don't mind if Geoff is with us, right," she asked as we entered the pool area.

"Of course not," I said as I set my stuff down by one of the long wooden pool chairs with red and white striped cushions. I saw that she was a bit hesitant for some reason and started to play with her hair as she looked around nervously. What's up with her?

"Bridgette, what's wrong? You seem a little uneasy," I said in a concerned voice as I walked over to her.

"I-It's nothing," she stuttered. "It's just that, um, there's somebody else joining us too."

"Who," I asked, wanting to know why she was so nervous as to telling me who this person was.

"Well, um, don't freak out on me or anything, but it's-" she was cut off by the pool doors opening and a tall muscular figure stepping in.

"What's up Princess," I heard a familiar voice call from behind me. I quickly turned around to see Duncan wearing black swim trunks with flames at the bottom, a white wife beater, and that stupid boyish smirk of his.

"BRIDGETTE," I screamed, turning back around to her. "Why did you invite him?" I asked, wanting to know why in the world she asked the only thing on this planet that I truly despise (besides green jello) to come swimming with us.

"IT WAS GEOFF'S IDEA," she screamed and shielded herself with her arms in case I was going to punch her or something.

"Chill Bridge, I'm not going to hurt you," I said in a calm voice. "But I can't say the same for your little boyfriend over there." She held me back as I was about to go possibly murder Geoff.

"Whoa, chill Mocha. I just thought maybe our two best friends wanted to come swimming with us," Geoff said in an uneasy voice while holding up his hands. I took in deep breaths and counted to ten.

"Fine, but if he comes within two feet of me I'm not responsible for anything that happens," I said as I went back to my chair and and started taking off my shorts and shirt to reveal my bathing suit. It was a light blue and white striped Abercrombie and Fitch bikini with black ties, and it complimented my body very nicely (A/N: Google 'Abercrombie and Fitch bathing suits' and it's the first one). As soon as I was done I turned around to see a wide eyed, drooling Duncan. Ha. Boys are so simple.

"Whoa Princess," was all that managed to come out of his mouth. I smirked as I walked right by him and dove straight into the pool. I haven't been swimming in forever, even though I had a pool right in my backyard. I felt so free as my body moved against the water with ease. I was so entranced I almost forgot to come up for air. As soon as I broke the water's surface I took in a deep breath and looked around. There was nobody here today except for us.

"Hey Bridgette, come join me," I said as I floated around on my back. "The water feels great."

"Okay," she smiled. "You coming Geoffy?"

"Nah," he said as he laid back in his chair. "I'll be in in a few."

"Mk," she smiled as she took off her shorts and tee to show she had on an olive green Hollister bikini that matched her eyes perfectly (A/N: Google 'Hollister green bikini' and it's the first top and bottoms that pop up). As soon as she slipped off her clothes, Geoff's reaction was pretty much the same as Duncan's.

"Wow babe," he said in that same mesmerized tone that Duncan had used earlier. She smirked at him and blew him a kiss right before she jumped into the water with me. She soon came up with her bangs all in her eyes, I giggled as she soon wiped them back. We raced to the end and back twice, with it being a tie both times, and where seriously whipped as we sat on the edge of the pool.

"Cowabunga," we heard Geoff scream as we saw him jump right over our heads and cannonball into the water in front of us. We were splashed with water and soon came face to face with Bridgette's blond boyfriend.

"Now, was that really necessary Geoff," I giggled as I went to go get my towel from my bag.

"You bet," he said as he pulled Bridgette into the water with him while she just giggled flirtatiously. They were perfect for each other.

"Awwww, aren't they so cute," I asked Duncan as he walked over to me.

"Yeah, just freaking adorable," he said as he laid in the chair next to me.

"Well somebody's certainly not in a good mood," I said as I started brushing my hair out.

"You wouldn't be either if you just found out you're parents are getting a divorce," he said as he closed his eyes. I stopped brushing my hair. I was so not prepared for that one. Maybe something like 'my pet goldfish died' or 'my little sister got my room and painted it pink', but definitely not a divorce.

"Oh, Duncan, I'm sorry. I didn't know," I said, lowering my head a bit in embarrassment.

"It's no big deal," he shrugged. "You couldn't have known. So, you wanna get in that pool now Princess," he said, eying me up and down. I shivered at the thought of all the things he was probably planning in that sick mind of his.

"How can you be so clam about your parents divorce and still be a pervert," I asked him, completely confused as to why he wasn't angry or sad or showing some kind of emotion that wasn't lust.

"Okay, first of all sweetheart, my parents have been fighting for years , so it was bound to happen sometime. And second, I never stop being a perv," he said as he winked at me. "So how about that swim now," he asked as he got up and took his shirt off. I still can't get over how built he is.

"I'm too tired," I whined as I looked away from him blushing. "And I'm so not going in that pool with you, who knows what you'll try and do to me."

"Then I guess we're doing this the hard way," he said with a mischievous glint in his eyes as he crept closer to me.

"What do you think you're-" I was cut off my him picking me up effortlessly and throwing me over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. "Duncan! Put me down now you cretin! Bridgette, Geoff, help me," I screamed as I hit Duncan in the back and yelled desperately for them to help, but they were already out of the pool and halfway out the door. I also noticed that there were no life guards. What the hell? It's a public pool, shouldn't there be life guards?

I was cut off from my thoughts by Duncan taking me off his shoulder and holding me bridal style, right over the pool. He smirked as he saw me get wide eyed and cling to his chest for dear life.

"Duncan, put me back, I don't want to go swimming again," I said in a desperate attempt for him to let me go.

"Too bad, you're coming swimming with me, whether you like it or not." Right after he said that he jumped into the pool and let me go. I swam to the surface as fast as my arms and legs could push and tried to find Duncan, but I didn't see him resurface and started to panic. Bridgette and Geoff are gone, there are no lifeguards, and I still can't even see him! I am so going to kill him when I find him. Well, unless he was already-no. I couldn't think that.

"Duncan, come on. This is so not funny," I said in a panicky voice as I searched the water for any signs of him. Nothing. I sighed and just stood there, wondering what to do now.

"Boo," a husky voice said from behind me. I turned around and saw that I was about an inch away from Duncan's face. I was so relieved, but that soon turned into anger. He totally punked me.

"You jerk, I thought you were dead" I screeched as I punched him in his arm. Ow. He was strong.

"Don't break a nail Princess," he teased, and amused smile on his features from watching me hold my hand after punching him. God, he didn't even flex! "And I thought you didn't care about me," he smirked after I let go of my hand when i started to feel less pain.

"I don't," I stated with a glare. "But if you were going to die here, I didn't want it to be on my account."

"You totally care about me," he smirked as he wrapped his hands around my waist and pulled me close to him, making me blush like mad.

"I do not," I whispered, partially because we were so close, and partially in shock.Oh God, his body felt so good against mine. It was like we fit together perfectly. I think he noticed to because he started leaning in, and so did I. Our lips were about a centimeter apart when we heard the door open.

"Hey guys, we just wanted to make sure you- Oh," we heard a voice say in shock at seeing me and Duncan in the pool. I came to my senses and quickly shoved Duncan off of me, only to see Bridgette standing at the edge of the pool trying not to bust out laughing.

"Um, sorry to interrupt the moment. I just wanted to make sure you two hadn't killed each other yet. I guess I was right," she smirked.

"No, Bridgette! That is so not what happened," I screeched frantically.

"Then what exactly did happen?"

"I got her to think I was dead, she got mad, I seduced her, then you just had to barge in right before we started a really hot make out session," Duncan stated glaring at his cousin, then smirking at me.

"That-what-NO! I mean the first part's true, but me? Kissing you? Ha! When pigs fly," I stammered as I tried to get out of this immensely awkward situation.

"Ever seen Spy Kids 2 Princess," he said as he just gave me a knowing look.

"Yeah, but that was animated, not real life," I pointed out.

"No one ever said it couldn't be," he shrugged.

"That's it! I am so out of here. I'm going back to the dorms to unpack," I said angrily as I got out of the pool with Duncan in tow. I gathered all my stuff, not caring that I was soaking wet, and marched off to the dorms.

"Damn that woman's hot when she's angry," I heard Duncan say behind me. Thump. "Oww, Bridge. What the heck?" I smirked as I walked away.

Alright, so here's the seventh chapter. I had a lot of fun with this one ;) and sorry for all the authors notes, those were just so you could see what I was talking about. Well if anybody cares, I had the worst night of my life last night. I stayed up till 2am to write most of this and I couldn't sleep so I turned on the lights and found a huge black spider in my bed.
