Faye was wading in the water when the twins, Deb, and Susan had showed up. She noticed Susan hesitating at the water line. "The thermos is wrapped in my towel," she shouted. "Hurry up the water's great!"
Her crimson bikini brought out the honey color in her eyes. Her ebony hair hung in wet ribbons over her shoulders. She paddled out deeper into the water. It seemed like it had been so long since she had taken a swim. The water splashed about her chest as she waited for the others to join her.
The moon's full reflection danced about the ocean's surface. The sounds of the water beating on the shore were soothing. A time of peace...
Nick hear Faye talking before he was close enough to see her. He dropped his towel in the sand a ways down from the group. He dived into the chilly water, and swam out, away from the shore. He easily dived under the water, and swam towards Faye. He eased out of the
water a few feet from her back. He reached out as he treaded water, the splashes of Doug and Chris carrying on masking his entrance. He glided his hand against the curve of her hip, turning her gently in the water to face him. "Miss me?" He asked with a grin.
Faye shrieked in surprise. She spun around and playfully punched Nick on the shoulder. "I thought you weren't coming. Of course I missed you." She ducked under the water without saying another word. She swam a few feet away. "Marco," she called out playfully.
Crouching, only her face was above water. She grinned happily. She sunk beneath the surface again; when she resurfaced she was just behind him. "What made you come back?" she whispered in his ear. "Certainly you didn't miss me." Her amber eyes glittered happily. This is what she had missed with Black John...friendship.
Nick grinned back playfully. He pushed his wet hair back from his face, but a few pesky strands fell right back into his eyes. "Any why wouldn't I?" He asked, the water dripping off his tanned face. "You
have to be the best looking girl around." He said dropping his voice so it wouldn't carry. He turned to face her. "Maybe I decided that care bear as you call her is a waste of time, and that I should focus my attentions on someone more... worthy."
He leaned towards her, his lips only inches from hers.
"Polo!!!" One of the twins yelled in return to Faye's Marco. Nick couldn't tell which one it was, but one of the damned blonde fools pushed his way in between Nick and Faye, giving Nick a dark look as they did so. Nick made a move to grab him, but before he could the
twin dived under water and was gone.
"What did you do that for?" The other twin asked.
"Nick just had his heart broken. He sure don't need to be messing with Faye. She'll tear him up and spit him out."
"That sounds kinda fun!" Doug laughed.
Chris shook his head and pushed his brother away from him. "Shut up, Doug."
Faye laughed light heartedly. She felt so free. A stray wave hit her in the back throwing off her balance and she fell into Nick. Her heart raced. She pressed her lips to his and murmured, "Marco."
What was this feeling rushing through her? It was akin to a roller coaster ride. She could not explain it and did not want it to end. 'The old Faye died back in that old house. Is this what the new
Faye is like?'
She playfully pushed away from him. She smiled before diving under the water.
Nick let his head fall back with a deep laugh. Faye was being so unlike herself tonight. Maybe the whole ordeal with Cassie's father had changed her for the better. And Nick couldn't help the strange feeling that was growing inside him. He was finding himself more and more attracted to Faye as the night wore on. Would anything come of it?
Nick didn't know, and only time could tell. There were ways of helping it along, but Nick didn't really practice magic of witchcraft. He was there only because the coven needed him to be. He dove under the water, chasing Faye. "Polo," he laughed as he caught her.
The moment started out as fun, two friends playing a game older than them. But as Nick wrapped his arms around Faye when he caught her, all feelings of playfulness left his mind. "Faye..." He whispered, the only thing between them was the moonlight.
He bent his head down to hers, his lips slightly parted. God, please don't let her pull away...
Suzan quickly drank the nasty stuff in the thermos and jumped in the water. She saw the twins separate Faye and Nick then laughed as they started fighting. Her laughter stopped short when she saw Faye kiss Nick then swim away. She wasn't surprised at all to see him swim after the beautiful raven-haired girl and catch her. She turned her gaze away as the two became more intimate. 'Hope you know what you're getting into Nick.' She began to wonder why he had decided to come back but shrugged pushing the curious thought away and swam towards the twins, breaking them up by putting herself between them. "Boys, boys, we're out her to have fun not rip each other's throats out." She gave them both a cute smile the dove under grabbing Doug's cut
offs. Pulling them down she quickly made her escape, surfacing a few feet away. "And that is for the slap on the rear... tah." She laughed and dove back under making her way to the shore.
Doug yelped as he felt his shorts being tugged to his ankles. He quickly reached down and pulled them back up. "This means war Susan!" He called as she swam away. He couldn't hide the blush that crept up his neck and spread out across his face.
"Don't let her get to you." Chris said patting his twin on the back. "We both know your one of the two best looking guys around."

Cassie watched Adam play with his hair and took his hands away from his head. 'He's obviously worried about something, maybe I should just tell him the truth.' She smiled at him as he mentioned her getting a ride with him for school and she nodded. "I'd like that. Adam..." She started but stood up and released his hand. "Stay there, I'll be right back." She went into the front entryway and grabbed her purse. Coming back in she sat down and blushed slightly
opening it up. "This is what I dropped outside." She took out her pills and after pressing them in his hand she looked away. "I just didn't want to tell you because I... I don't want you to think I'm cheap or anything." Her voice was shaky but she knew she had to tell him the truth.
Before she lost her nerve she continued. "When I came in earlier and ran into the bathroom crying it wasn't because of my time of the month, it's no where near time for that. Anyways, I was apologizing to Nick when I dropped my purse. I told him I was sorry but Nick well... He was being Nick, all cold and unfeeling and you know me, I wear my heart on my sleeve." She stood up, not looking at him and walked to the window.
"I would never think something like that about you." Adam said, flipping the compact over and over in his hands. Just hold them and thinking about them made him nervous. No matter what Faye had told Cassie, he and Diana had never had sex. She had wanted to wait until they were married, and Adam, being the good boyfriend that he was had taken a good many cold showers. He was still a virgin.
It was kind of a relief to know that Cassie was on the pill. If and when they took their relationship further, there wouldn't be a baby before they were ready. "Do you want me to talk to Nick?" Adam asked, figuring she would probably say no.
