Chapter Five

“This has got to be one of the hottest summers we’ve ever had,” Anna said as she took a break from sorting through clothes to wipe the sweat away from her brow.

“And no air-conditioning,” Lara added.

It was August and Anna felt like she might pass out. The two floor fans that blew the hot air around the room weren’t really helping.

“Do you want another water?” Anna asked her.

“Please.”

Anna made her way down the hall to the kitchen to find two bottles of water.

The kitchen was quiet this time of day and she was back to the storage room with two ice cold bottles a few minutes later.

She pressed hers against the back of her neck, trying to cool herself down.

“Thanks,” Lara said as she took the bottle from her. “Do you know what we should do?”

“What?”

“We should go for a swim.”

“Where?”

“I have a pool,” Lara answered as she opened the bottle to take a drink.

“I don’t have a swim suit.”

“You can borrow one of mine.”

“They won’t miss us?” Anna asked.

“Instead of taking an hour for lunch we’ll spend ten minutes eating and the rest of the time cooling off. I’m only five minutes away.”

“That would be amazing.”

***

Anna was never happier to see a pool. They’d stopped to get sandwiches and ate them while they drove, not wanting to waste any time.

Now they were at Lara's and Anna couldn’t wait to jump in.

Lara had given her a black bikini to wear and luckily, they were practically the same size.

Anna was surprised to see how in shape Lara was. She wore t shirts or tank tops at the shelter that hid her toned stomach.

Now in her navy bikini, Anna could see her athletic figure with little left to the imagination.

“What are you waiting for?” Lara asked just before she dove in.

Anna wondered if she’d just been caught staring.

She padded towards the edge of the pool and eased herself down into the water, one step at a time.

Her body instantly cooled down and Anna didn’t know what was going to get her back out.

“I was tempted to drive down to the lake yesterday and just jump in,” Anna said as she swam towards Lara. “This is a much better idea.”

“If this heat wave sticks around, this might have to be a regular thing.”

“I wouldn’t object,” Anna said with a smile.

“So, what do you think of Lucas? I’ve been meaning to ask you.”

“He’s nice… seems like a good guy.”

“Maybe he’ll find the courage to ask you out before the summer’s over,” Lara said with a smile.

“What?”

“He’s always staring at you. You never noticed?”

“No… I haven’t,” Anna said honestly.

“Well he’s got a thing for you. It’s obvious.”

“I don’t think I want to get involved with anyone this year. It’s my senior year. I need to focus and then I’ll be going to college… I don’t need to complicate things.”

“Do you know what you want to major in?”

“Journalism. I’m going to apply to UCLA.”

“Really? The opposite side of the country?” Lara asked while treading water.

“Yeah. I could use some time away from here.
