Chapter 10

Kelly Mansion - Next Day

"Marissa," Alex knocked on Marissa's bathroom door. "I'll be outside waiting so hurry your skinny ass up already."

A few minutes later Marissa appeared outside in her bikini, notebook in hand. She in a lawn chair by the pool and watched Alex dive off the diving board. "Can you watch where your splashes are going."

"They call me the blonde. No I can't watch where they go because one I don't control the water, and two I can't see it to control because I'm under the water."

Marissa shook her head at Alex and began to write something in the book, Alex dove back under water. "Can you at least come in here with me, I know you know how to swim."

"I'm in the mood to swim right now, I'm more than content to watch you splash around like a fish though."

Alex laughed, "If you don't want to swim can we maybe go surfing? I think I owe you another lesson for the payment you gave me after the first one oh so long ago," Alex smirked.

"You see I would, if I was already wet, but since I'm not too bad." Marissa sat her notebook on the table, as Alex got out of the pool, and headed towards Marissa. "Alex nooo." It was too late Alex laid down on top of Marissa causing the brunette to no longer be dry.

"Surf now." Alex took off down the path that lead to the beach, she ran right to the life guard tower and retrieved her board. But didn't come out, leaving Marissa wondering where she went. Alex watched at Marissa looked out into the water, sneaking up behind her, "BOO!" Marissa jumped and Alex once again took off this time into the water.

Without thinking Marissa chased after her, "Alex you are so dead, this water is freezing." Alex left her surfboard floating in the water and she dove underneath and grabbed a hold of one of Marissa's leg, scaring the girl for a second, before coming up for oxygen. The minute Alex's head appeared above water Marissa dunked her.

Alex coughed up some water as she came above the water again. "Not fair." Alex coughed a little bit more.

Marissa blushed. "I'm sorry, are you okay?" Alex nodded, still slightly coughing. "Revenge is sweet." Marissa smiled.

"Since you're already in the water how about that surf lesson." Alex grinned knowing she was getting exactly what she wanted.

"Fine."

An hour later both girls were laying on their surfboards looking up at the clouds, talking about nothing important at all but just happy to be spending time like this with each other.

"That one looks like a turtle."

"Ris, unless a turtle has three shells, its looks like a camel."

"Whatever, I think it looks like a turtle, that one looks like a care bear."

This caused Alex to laugh. "I can't believe you still sleep with that thing. It haunted me on that bed, I swear it hated me for no reason. By the way if you say that cloud looks like a care bear you're nuts, it clearly looks like a popple."

"Care bears are a million times better than popples, and it wasn't for no reason, share bear was just upset that I was holding you instead of him."

"Oh it's a him is it." Alex began to laugh uncontrollably almost falling of her surf board.

"Fine, no more cuddling at night with me for you." Marissa scoffed.

Alex continued to laugh. "I've gone what two months without it, I'm not missing much." Alex said in between laughs before looking back up at the sky and closing her eyes. "This is nice, I missed this."

Without warning Marissa flipped Alex's surfboard causing the blonde to fall off the board and into the water. "So was that." She said as Alex resurfaced, Marissa head for the house, leaving Alex to get the surfboards and head after her. Once they hit land Alex dropped the boards and was on Marissa's trail.

Marissa ran into the pool house and hid behind the door, moments later Alex burst in, and Marissa dropped on her back. Which caused Alex to fall on the couch that luckily in front of her. Alex turned underneath Marissa on the couch and the girls stared into each others eyes. As Marissa leaned down to kiss her Albert entered the pool house.

"Alexandra, telephone for you." He smiled at the sight before him.

Finally taking her gaze away from Marissa, Alex looked at Albert. "Tell them I'll call them back later."

"I would miss but it's your mother." Alex mumbled something before getting up. Albert handed Alex the phone as Marissa moved so Alex could get up. Marissa looked on somewhat disappointed but glad the girls were moving in the right direction, at least for now.
