534 - Hot-tubbing

Felicity blew a stray strand of hair from her eyes and concentrated on what she was going to say to Archer.

About that second kiss this morning... yeah it was my Pokémon's fault. You see...

That wouldn't go well. She sighed again and tried to relax. The muscles in her back just seemed tighten with each thought passing through her mind.

Another sigh lead her to drastic measures. She walked to her wardrobe and pulled out her bikini and a towel before walking to the 'back yard'.

Thank Arceus for hot tubs.

As the heat soaked into her bones the bubbles massaged at the muscles practically melting the tension hidden there. She ducked underwater to wet her hair and reveled in the warmth for a few extra minutes.

Until that is the rather masculine leg intruded. Felicity shot up panic arising in her throat. Arceus forbid someone see her right now.

Her head broke water and her gaze shifted wildly from the strong chest to the broad shoulders to meet vibrant teal eyes.

"A-Ar-Archer?!" Felicity gasped choking on water. He only gave her a skeptical look and started to remove his leg from the water.

"No! I mean, I'm getting out. No I'm not, but we need to talk." Felicity mentally slapped herself as he smirked in amusement.

"Just get in the damn tub!" Felicity snapped collecting herself. An awkward silence ensued as Archer maneuvered himself so he was sitting exactly opposite Felicity.

"You're right. We need to talk." Archer held up his finger to stop Felicity interrupting.

"Normally I'd say you'd be too young for me, but as it stands something seems to want us together." Archer started before Felicity couldn't hold back.

"Just stop there. I'm going to get out and we will never have this conversation again, got it?" Felicity freaked scrambling out and away from the hot-tub and quickly wrapping her towel around her. She turned to leave but Archer grabbed her wrist.

"MAGE FOR ARCEUS' SAKE GET BACK IN MY ROOM AND QUIT USING ATTRACT!" Felicity yelled and a purple Pokémon fled from its spot behind a potted plant. Felicity pulled her arm from Archer's grasp and walked back to her room leaving the Executive thoroughly confused.

"Attract?" He asked blinking rapidly.
