"Tinya?"

I knocked on her bedroom door… Oh come on, down act like you're not there. I can SMELL the cookie dough… I snorted as I got no response. I knocked again.

"Tinya, I know your there" I said almost playfully "I'm coming in" I said as I came in

She was there, sitting with her legs crossed on the bed, eating the dough right out the bowl, like a child. I shook my head at the sight. She jerked her head up, saw me and gave me a big smile, full of chips and cookie dough.

"Come, sit" She said tapping on the bed, right next to her

I sat next to her, as she asked and she gave me a spoonful of the dough. I shook my head "I don't like chocolate; taste is too sweet for me"

She pouted and looked away. I couldn't see what she was doing, until suddenly she looked at me with… Oh Sprock, I can't believe she's doing this. To me. So ironic… She looked at me with huge puppy eyes. What took me aback wasn't the fact she did it really well, but the fact that even with her dark shade of eye, she made them glow… Wow… "Please?" she pleaded, with an over the top sweet voice. Seeing her like that, curled up on the bed, in her sweats and white tee, some cookie dough around her mouth, on her pale and perfect skin. It made me feel odd… What the Sprock..? It's like looking at a sun set from the ocean, or watching the stars on warm summer night… I let out a very long sigh through my nose and as I'm shaking my head I tell her.

"All right. Just this once, for you"

She closed her eyes and seemed to rejoice in her victory. A fraction of a second later, she brought the spoon to my mouth. Although I can feed myself, I still take the dough she offered. Surprisingly, it's not as sweet as usual chocolate… Must be some pretty expensive stuff, so that I don't find it sweet. But if I don't find it too sweet, I wonder if she can even taste it… As if she red my mind, she says:

"I know it's not very sweet, but the chocolate was sort of old and in the fridge. I hear it takes some of the taste away, is that true?" Although she wasn't looking at me, she was playing with the spoon; I could tell I had her full attention

"Yes" I replied

There was a lot of dough left, so she decided to split it 50/50. Although she still fed me with the spoon, I enjoyed the moment… When does a Legionnaire like me ever find time like this to relax?... I asked myself, happy to be able to do nothing at all for once. Pretty soon, though, the bowl was empty and I had to go wash the dishes we used. I got up, took the bowl and spoon and headed for the door, when she grabbed my arm.

"Where're you going?" She asked

I looked at the bowl I held in my hand, then back at her "Kitchen. Got to wash the dishes, don't I?"

She giggled as if I said something funny "President's daughter, hello! I do stuff like this all the time, it's okay"

Although I knew if I was working to clean a house, I would want the people living there to keep it as clean as possible, but she was right. I put down the bowl onto a nearby stand and turned to her, stretching.

"So, what do you want to do?"

Without hesitation, she ran to her closet and came back with a swimsuit. "Want to go swimming?"

"I'm not too good at swimming, but sure" I said half-heartedly

"Good! Do you have a bathing suit?"

"I'll just go in boxers, then" I said, almost to myself

She grimaced at the thought "You can't do that! Come on, I' sure my mom thought about it and gave you one with the uniform!" She bolted out the room towards, I suppose, my room.

I followed her out of the room. First thing I hear, even though I'm still nearly in the room is "It's so dark!" I kept walking, to arrive in my quarters and saw Tinya, kneeling on my bed, pulling the curtains up. She turned to face me and told me "Come on, puppy, you need some sun!"

"Don't call me that" I replied

She walked up to me, with one of those dumb expressions people wear while talking to dogs. "Aww, what's the matter? Is the big bad puppy afraid I'll ruin his reputation as the big bad WOLF?" She cooed, while scratching my ear.

Even though it felt really good… Damn you heightened senses! Why must my ears be so sensible!... I screamed in my head. I pushed her hand away, and pouted "No. I just don't like being called 'puppy' by anyone"

She simply giggled and walked towards the small closet that held my uniform and some spare clothing. She searched for a few seconds, before pulling out some swimming shorts. They were knee-length and had some weird 'sharp' swirl patterns. Obviously, the shorts were white and the 'swirls' were black. She handed them to me, walked out the room and closed the door. From the other side I heard her say: "When you're done, come wait by my door" I grunted in reply.

After quickly changing myself, I waited In front of her door, leaning on the wall… NOW I feel like a dog. Waiting for someone. Sprock, why are women so slow when it comes to clothing?... I cursed Tinya for being so slow. I felt awkward waiting in a bathing suit, in the hallway of the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED PLANETS. After a few minutes, Tinya walked out her bedroom, with a towel rolled just above her breasts, as if she was naked.

"You know you're going to have to take it off when you go swimming, right?" I asked her

She smiled and nodded "I know, but I feel awkward walking around in a bathing suit"

"But not on a towel?"

"Not as much, because more is covered" She said playfully as she skipped towards the stairs.

I stood there for a few seconds, dumfounded by what she had just said. I shook my head… Damn hormones!.. I hurried after her and walked down the stairs, with her at my side. Pretty soon, we reached the backyard and headed for the pool… This pool is enormous. So happy there's a shallow part… I told myself, while slowly walking to the pool.

She dropped her towel on a nearby long chair and my jaw dropped, not to mention my eyes popped out of my head. Her now, almost, naked body was standing right in front of me; Her long, beautiful legs and her stomach were showing… Who knew skin could so pale AND so perfect… Her slim frame stretched in the sun, giving a very nice view of her bust. Her black bikini barely covered anything, except for what's important to cover. Her long, beautiful black hair was let loose. It covered her upper back, it was unbelievably straight and one bang covered her left eye… Sprock. Swimming got way more fun. She's not sexy, or cute. Damn, she's GORGEOUS. I feel like I'm looking at art… I slightly tilted my head, as if it would help me take in the sight. Now she was holding her left arm with her right. Her forearms were pressing ever so slightly against her… Her eyes are in her face, remember that… I mentally slapped myself for ogling at her. Now though, she was eyeing ME. I rubbed the back of my neck, nervously, because I didn't know what to do. So I cleared my throat.

"You still want to swim"? I asked to relieve some tension.

She grinned at me "You bet!"

A.N: All right! I'm on a roll! Don't expect to stay like this though. Tomorrow (the 21st of June) is my LAST EXAM (and supposedly the most important of MY LIFE). After that, it's summer, yeah! Anyway, this fanfiction IS one of my plans this summer, but I have other plans as well. I will (try to) keep updating. Once again, I would like to thank Dranzers Inferno and CampionSayn for their helpful reviews =D. I do try to improve my writing, so any (useful ;D) advice is welcomed. If anybody has suggestions for the chapters to come, PM me.

Thanks please review.
