Chapter 4
Chris's eyes widened as he looked at her now swollen face.
"Do I look that bad?" She tried to say with a bit of a giggle.
"No, not at all." Chris put his index finger to her face, "What happened?"
"Eyeball..." With one word Chris knew.
"What did he do to you?"
"Nothing." She said.
"Tell me Tessie!" Chris pleaded.
"When you and your friends left the cafe, Ace and Eyeball came in. We went to see a flick and then Ace left. So Eyeball and I went to Deep Hill Point to see the view of the town from the hill. At least that's what he told me...he had other plans." She trailed off.
"You didn't want him to do anything physical, did you?"
"No! Of course I didn't, I'm not like that."
"I know you're not, I knew that from the moment I met you."
She smiled.
"So, how did you find the tree house?" Chris asked.
"I always used to see you, Gordie, Teddy and Vern come up here after school. I walk the same way you guys do. I guess I was kind of hoping you'd be up here tonight." She looked into Chris's eyes.
"So you figured you could just come up here?" Chris laughed.
"I always kind of admired you and your friends."
"You admired us? Why?" Chris questioned.
"You four always seem to be happy and carefree, I could never be like that."
"Come on, follow me." Chris said.
"Where are we going?"
Tessie didn't get an answer from Chris, she just followed him until they reached the lake.
"This is where I wanted to take you. What do you see?" Chris asked.
"Um, well, a lake." She said confused.
"That's it? I see something we could have a pretty fucking good time in." Chris laughed hysterically.
"What are you talking about?"
"Lets go swimming."
"How? We don't have any bathing suits."
"That isn't a problem, we'll just wear our under clothes." He said as he began taking off his shirt and pants. Chris jumped in leaving a splash behind him.
"Come on Tes. Okay I won't look." Chris covered his eyes. As Tessie began unbuttoning her dress Chris snuck in a peek and realized how beautiful she was. He quickly turned away when he saw her slide into the water smiling.
"What are you grinning about?" Chris asked.
"I saw you look." She giggled, and Chris blushed.
"And you know what bad little boys get when they look at someone undressing?" She said slyly.
"What?"
"A head dunk in the water!" She said as she pressed her body weight down on his in the water for a few seconds. As he came up for air he did the same to her.
They were both laughing and screaming loudly. Chris and Tes slowly found themselves very close to each other in the water.
"Chris" Tessie said.
"Yes?" He asked.
"Can you--" Tessie was interrupted as Chris softly planted a kiss on her pouted lips.
Chris's eyes widened as he looked at her now swollen face.
"Do I look that bad?" She tried to say with a bit of a giggle.
