POOL PARTY
Zoe Amos
It was one of those days when the heat slows you down and the humidity curls the wallpaper off the walls. There’s not much to do on a Sunday after church in a sleepy Southern town in the middle of August except try to stay cool.
Michelle envied her neighbors with backyard pools. She wiped her bandana across her forehead and rolled it up to make a headband. She knotted it in place behind her head where it got caught in the frizz of her hair. The thought of buying a Walmart kiddie pool was tempting, and she snickered at the idea of filling it up in the middle of her apartment. At least her feet would stay cool. Right now, the only thing she had was a rapidly warming can of beer propped between her legs as she sat on the balcony of her second-story apartment looking across the parking lot at the back of Jenkins’ Hardware. The aluminum can did little to temper the heat radiating from that part of her body. There was only one cure for that, and she hadn’t seen any action since LaTanya said good-bye.
LaTanya had a small above-ground pool at the house she rented and they’d used it a couple of times shortly after they met last September. That option was out of the question since they’d broken up in May. LaTanya told Michelle not to call until she developed the part of her brain that controlled common sense, which would probably not come this century judging by her lack of judgment and unacceptable behavior. It was over with a capital O and Michelle knew why. Her dalliance with the girl from Ole Miss who was home on Spring Break had cost her the relationship, a fair price to pay. When asked by her (ex) girlfriend to explain why she felt compelled to diddle around like that when she already had a perfectly good relationship going, Michelle didn’t have an answer. That was the end of that and there would be no more fun and splashing around in the long hot days of summer.
Through the grapevine, Michelle heard that LaTanya was taking a break from romance by putting her energy into her job at the cable company. Just what the world needed: another crabby customer service rep. The misadventure was three months ago, long enough for the anger to have settled and for her to try again. Yes, LaTanya could be full of attitude, a bitch some might even say. Not always. There were plenty of fun times, and a little fun in the pool with its sparkling water would be a great way to get reacquainted. The idea of cooling off and the prospect of a rekindled romance took over Michelle’s mind. She finished her beer, got in her pickup and drove to LaTanya’s without calling first.
Once she was past town, the dusty road was empty of cars. Traversing the long driveway to LaTanya’s house, she knew anyone home would spot a visitor long before they reached the front door.
