The glinting of light shining in my eyes made me roll over, curling up in the blankets. But the light still shone on my face. I let out an annoyed sigh and sat up, my bangs hanging in my face. I yawned loudly and stretched, getting up and lumbering to the window. I closed the curtain all the way before laying back out under the blankets. I stared at the digital clock, smiling as it said only about nine o'clock.

"… Antonio won't mind me sleeping in…" I mumbled to myself, closing my eyes again and quickly drifting into sleep.

The next day.

"Buenas tardes~!" That all too familiar and chipper accent purred, Antonio bounding into the room. I sighed and sat up again, looking at him, "What... Afternoon?"

He smirked and walked over, sitting on the bedside next to me, "Si~ You slept rather late!" I glanced over at the clock; two thirty five p.m. I ran a hand through my messy hair, shaking my head, "Eyii... Um... Would you mind... if I slept a little longer? I haven't really gotten that much sleep lately..." His face fell and he looked away, "Oh... Okay... well, I kind of wanted to go swimming today with you... since this was our first day as room mates..." He pouted, staring down. I immediately felt bad, sighing and pulling the covers off.

"Whatever, whatever... I'll go swimming with you..." His face lightened up and he hopped onto his feet, punching a fist in the air.

"Yay! Meet you out there, Melly!" He cheered and sprinted out of the room. I sat there and shook my head, "El stupido..." I giggled and took out my cobalt blue bikini that had a gold ring connecting the two breast pads, with matching shorts that had a ring connecting the hips. I fixed up mp braces slowly, trying to make them more movable. I quickly changed into the bikini and grabbed a towel, running/hobbling out downstairs and to the large pool.

I stopped and stood in awe at the amazing sight of the pool. There was marble tile around it, the pool water a clear blue. Gold tile lined the water and there was a large white slide leading into the water. Screen was bordering the large area, somewhere near the left of the screening was a lounge chair and a small glass table with some drinks in a cooler on it.

Antonio suddenly hugged me from behind, making me squeal in shock. He laughed loudly and poked my cheek, "Aw, Melly! You are blushing so much!" He teased, kissing my cheek.

I blushed and thrashed around, screaming at him, "S-Stop it, you jerk!" I laughed as well, pushing against his face, "You know better than to scare me, you butt!" I stuck my tongue out at him, shoving away and stumbling towards the pool, stopping myself before I fell in. I gasped as I made an impact with the water, trying not to laugh as I came up. "Your fault, you know!"

"What?! It is not my fault! You liar!" He pouted, crossing his arms. I smirked and started splashing around, "Y-You jerk! I can't swim!" I cried and went under, making sure to stay under.

"M-Melly!" I heard him scream as he jumped in the pool, causing a big splash. I closed my eyes and drifted under water as he grabbed me, pulling me out of the water, "Melly! Are you okay?!" He cried, caressing my face.

I soon reached up, grabbing his shoulders and dunking him over without a warning. He thrashed around for a little and came up, soaked, "Melly! You tricked me!"

"Uh, yeah I did!" I laughed, climbing out of the warm water and sprinting -carefully since it was slippery- to the slide. I climbed up and -once arriving at the top- sat patiently. But as I stared down at the water that seemed so far away, I gulped and backed up a bit, getting immediately nervous.

But I suddenly felt something warm against my bare back and I looked up, staring at Antonio. who was grinning like a fool -or like always.- Haha, yeah...

He wrapped his warm arms around my waist and put his legs on either sides of mine, "You ready? No need to be scared~ I've got you..." He purred gently into my ear. I blushed as red as a tomato and nodded, "O-Oui..." He smirked and pushed off, shoving us down the slide. At first, I screamed like hell because making impact with water wasn't on the top of 'things I would like to do again' list, but I felt Antonio behind me and I lifted my arms, laughing along with him as we splashed into the water.

I popped up, smiling and staring at him, "You were more scared than me." He rolled his eyes, "Of course I was, of course I was." He smirked at me, shaking his head, "You just love lieing."

"Pfft, no. I'm always telling the truth~!" I chuckled, standing on the bottom the pool. Antonio put a finger to my nose and then brought it back, as if to make it longer, "Boop! Pinocchio~!" I snapped at his finger, trying to bite him.

"Meanie." I mumbled. He rolled his eyes.

"I'm getting out. Gonna go and do some work. You staying in?" He asked, looking at me and starting to get out. "Oh, no... It's fine. I can get out and wait for you."

He smirked, "You'll wait for me to finish my work?" He sat down on the steps in the water.

"Well, of course..." I blushed, looking to the side. "Why wouldn't I? You're the person who's letting me stay at your house!" He rolled his eyes, getting up and out of the water. He took a towel out of a cupboard next to the screen door leading inside. It was light purple and had turtles decorated on it. He wrapped it around his waist and walked back to me, holding out a hand to me, "Want to come with me?"

I blushed a high level of red and took his hand, climbing out slowly, "U-Uh... okay..." I smiled and grabbed a towel matching to his and wrapped it under my arms, covering my torso and upper thighs. We walked inside and I headed up to the bathroom, going in to take a quick shower.

I sighed happily, plopping down on my bed. I changed into a comfortable and loose grey short with jean shorts and slippers, and had began filing my nails down. I pulled out two shades of red nail polish and set them on the night stand, the door to my room creaking open. I stared up and smiled as Antonio stepped in, wearing a matching outfit to mine, just he was wearing jeans.

"Hey, Melly~ I have a question." He mumbled quietly, sitting on the floor in front of me.

"Hm? What is it?"

"Well, I know you're cousins with Arthur, that British guy, right?"

"Um, yeah... Why, exactly?" His face flushed and he fiddled his thumbs.

"I was... wondering... How a lemon so sour could be related to a peach so sweet!" [[Gravity Falls, FTW]] I blushed as I realized what he meant, panicking and rubbing the back of my head, "H-Hah! H-He's not to bad o-once you get to know him."

"Si, si, of course." He smiled and took the nail polish, laying my foot on his knee, "Let me get that for you."

I rose an eyebrow, but shrugged it off and let him do so.

After getting my nails done by Antonio, I walked downstairs and to the kitchen, picking up the phone. "Hey, Toni? Can I order pizza?" I called, listening to the water in the shower as he stopped his singing, "Eh? Eh? Oh, um, sure! Go ahead!" I chuckled and dialed the number for Marco's Pizza, ordering a cheese pizza. Thirty minutes passed, and me and Antonio were sitting on the sofa together, watching some movie; October Skies, when the doorbell rang.

"Not it!"

"Not it! Agh!" I groaned, hitting him smack-dab in the face with a throw pillow as he grinned at me. I stood and walked to the door, opening it and receiving the box, "Thanks." I paid the delivery man and walked back in, "Pizza!"

Antonio was there almost immediately, looking like an excited puppy as he stared at the box. I set it down and we both got a slice.

"... I feel... dead." I mumbled, sprawling out on the couch, over Antonio. He rose an eyebrow, "Why?" He asked, petting my belly.

I giggled and squirmed, "Stop it! And I feel dead because I am like... full as crap."

"Full as crap?"

"You know what I meant." I rolled my eyes and rolled onto my stomach, yawning and sitting up. It was about six p.m, and I was already tired. "I'm gonna head up to bed..." I smiled at him, getting up.

"Oh... aw... okay, sleep well." He waved his hand at me. I hugged him quickly and ran off up the stairs before he could react. I jumped into my bed, not caring to change into pajamas. I turned on the small radio on my night stand, my gaze focusing on the dresser. And my bag next to it. I was going to empty it today...

"Oh well, always got tomorrow." I shrugged, changing the sound on the radio to waves crashing on sand, and slowly closed my eyes, yawning and falling into sleep, not knowing tomorrow would be one of the most life-changing days ever...
