"Oh my god, this is so cold," I winced, after my boyfriend threw me into his backyard pool, "Dude, what's the temp of this water?" He pulled out a little thermometer pool thing and checked it. "About, forty-seven degrees." "Holy shit!" I finally got out. I was soaked, from head to toe. I didn't have a change of clothes with me either, or a key to my house. No body was home at my house, isn't that just great?

I walked over to him and opened my arms for a hug; he just walked around me to the other end of the pool. "Hey nay, what's that?" He asked, pointing to something at the bottom of the deepest part of the pool. I walked over and stood beside him and examined the little gold shiny thing resting at the bottom of the pool. I leaned over to look harder and he followed my action. I quickly stood up and checked my ears. "Shit! It's my earring," I declared, rolling my eyes. "Well then, go get it," He said, pushing me lightly. I grabbed his sleeve, thinking it would prevent me from falling in. Instead, we both fell in. "Shit this is cold!" He said, coming up for a breath. He looked around for me, but I wasn't there. I was still under the water, searching for my earring. He saw me under the water from above and laughed. I started to come up with my earring in my hand, but he decided to play around and pushed my head back under before I could get any air. I took in a deep breath of water and started kicking my legs, swallowing more water. He didn't know, and just kept keeping me under. I finally stopped moving and he let me up, I wasn't dead or anything, I was just really weak. I floated to the top and took a deep breath. He laughed and splashed me a little. When I finally gained my strength back I scowled at him and climbed out of the pool. I sat on the edge with one foot in and started to cry. He swam over to me and wrapped his arms around my waist. I pushed them off of me and continued crying. "Baby, what's wrong?" "You scared me, Jeff. I thought you were trying to kill me or something. I almost died stupid! I couldn't even breathe." "Baby.I'm sorry. I didn't know," He apologized, tears forming in his eyes. I wiped my eyes and looked down at him. He grabbed my hand with one of his and rubbed the back of it with his thumb. I sighed and lay back on the warm cement. He hopped out of the pool, bringing a load of water with him, and laid next to me. I rolled over on my side and threw my arm over his stomach. He covered my hand with his. The sun was slowly going down, and the wind started growing colder. I sat up and smiled. "Let's go inside," I suggested. "Alright," He agreed, sitting up as well, "Did you ever get your earring back?" "Yep, it's in my pocket." "Good." He stood up and extended his hands towards me. I grabbed them and he pulled me up. He wrapped his arms around me, his cold body so close to mine felt nice. I wished it would never end. After a few minutes, we joined hands and walked into his empty house. "Everybody is out for the night here," Jeff started, "What time do you have to be home?" "I don't know, My dad is working late tonight. He usually doesn't get home until 10 or 11." "You stay home alone?" "Yeah, but I don't have my key, I left it in my house. So I'm shit out of luck until he gets home." "You can stay the night here, if you want." I wrapped my arms around him and rested my head on his left shoulder. "I'd like that Jeff." "What are you going to tell your dad though? He won't let you sleep over at a guy's house." I pulled away from the hug. "You're right. I'll just say I'm sleeping at Michelle's," I walked away to go get the phone. I picked it up and started to dial my dad's number. I put the phone to my ear and waited for him to answer.

"TruGreen Land care this is Wappo, can I help you?" "Yeah right dad." "Doodle, what do you need?" "Well, I forgot my key at the house, and I can't get in. So I'm going to sleep over at Michelle's tonight, alright?" "Are you sure it's ok with Kelle?" "Yeah, she offered." "O.K. be careful, and stay out of trouble." "Will do," I agreed and hung up the phone. Jeff walked over to me and wrapped his arms around me from behind. "Is daddy ok with it?" I turned my head and looked at him with a smile across my face. "Yes, yes he is." I turned completely around and threw my arms around his neck again. "Jeff?" "Nay?"

"Jeff.do you think it's too early to say.I love you?" He smiled at me and placed a gentle kiss on my lips. "I love you," He whispered. Tears filled my eyes, I don't even know if he meant it or not. "I love you." I replied, meaning every word. I bit my bottom lip and swallowed my tears. He walked away, slowly, and took me by my hand to his bedroom. He shut the door behind him and smiled. I didn't know what he was thinking, but when he smiled at me, I couldn't help but smile back. He let go of my hand and I sat down on his blue carpet and played with a loose thread. He took off his wet shirt, followed by his shorts, leaving him in his wet boxers. "I'm going to be naked, so don't freak out." I looked up at him, and blushed. I had never seen him naked, and I was somewhat nervous. He slowly removed his boxers, and I continued to stare at his carpet. He opened his top drawer to his dresser and pulled out a clean, dry pair of boxers and slid them on. "Ok, I'm not naked anymore," He informed. I felt my cheeks grow a bright red color, as he threw on a dry shirt and shorts. Once he was finished, he walked over to me and helped me up. I was still soaking wet and smelling like chlorine. He grabbed the bottom of my shirt and started to pull it upwards. I put my hands to my sides and stepped back. "Jeff, what are you doing?" He pulled me closer to him again and grabbed my shirt. "You want to stay in these wet clothes all night? I'm not trying to do anything baby, I just don't think you wanna stay in these clothes all night." I lifted my arms up so he could take my shirt all the way off. I blushed as he scoped out my body. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my forehead softly. I rested my chin on his shoulder with my arms wrapped around his body as well. He ran his hand up and down my back a few times, and stopped at the clasp of my bra. He undid it and slid my bra off of my arms. I stepped back and covered the majority of my chest. "Jeff.I don't think I'm ready for this," I said, worried. "It's ok nay. Let's just, get you out of those wet clothes and you can borrow a shirt and some boxers to sleep in," He replied, kissing me on my lips. I wrapped my arms around his neck, not caring what part of me was exposed, and deepened the kiss. While we were kissing he moved his hand down my back and around to my stomach. He played with the button of my pants for a few seconds before finally undoing it and sliding my pants off. I stepped out of them, never breaking the kiss, and he pulled me close to him again. He slid his hand down my back again and stopped at the elastic band keeping my underwear up. He slid his thumbs in the sides of them and pulled them down slowly, breaking the kiss for a split second. Once they were all the way down, I stepped out of them too and continued to kiss him. We began walking towards his bed and sat down slowly on it. He fell back and I laid on top of him, we were still kissing. I finally pulled away and stood up. "What's wrong?" Jeff asked me, obviously horny. "I.I'm sorry.I'm not ready for this," I said, stuttering. I turned and opened his top drawer, pulling out a pair of sponge bob boxers and slid them on. I crossed my arms, covering my chest again, and turned towards him. "What shirt do I wear?" He smiled and stood up. "Well?" He laughed a little before opening the fourth drawer in his dresser and pulling out a black shirt with three holes in it. "Nice," I commented, sarcastically. He just threw it at me in a wadded up ball and walked towards the door. "Where are you goin?" "I have to go to the bathroom," He replied, walking out and shutting the door behind him. I ran to the door and poked my head out, "Jeffy baby, I'm going to use the phone, alright?" "Sure, if it beeps, don't answer it." I just nodded and closed the door. I jumped onto the bed and tucked my hands behind my head. I smiled to myself and rolled over and grabbed the phone. "440-4822." I dialed the number while saying it aloud. It rang three times when finally a male answered. "Shannon? It's Naomi. Would you like to come over to Jeff's house and hang out with us? Jeff? Of course it's alright with him.If it isn't than.oh just come over! Of course you can bring your girlfriend! Alrighty, see ya when you get here. Uh huh. Buh bye." I hung up the phone and laid back on the bed. I looked up after hearing complete silence, only to find Jeff standing in the door way. "So you invited Shan over?" "Uh huh. You don't mind, do you?" I asked, hoping he wasn't mad. He walked over to the bed and sat down on the edge. "Of course not baby," He said, tucking a loose strand of hair behind my ear. I looked down at the bed and sighed. "Jeff, do you think that, fifteen is too young to.? You know," I asked, hoping he knew what I meant. He smiled and thought for a moment, "You know, Naomi, I don't really know the answer to that. I guess it depends on if you're ready. If you think you're ready, then no, it's not too young," He started, "but you have to do it for yourself, Nay, and only yourself."
