The Town Plaza

Taylor

I let out a laugh and kiss him. “You always know how to brighten my mornings.” I say. He sets his forehead on mine again. “What do you want to do today?” I ask him.

Alex

I smile at her laugh and set my forehead against hers again.

"What do I want to do today... Hm," I muse, "Well, we didn't quite get the chance to take a swim yesterday after falling in and everything. How about that?"

Taylor

“That sounds good.” I look at the window and see the sunlight pouring in. “Perfect day for it to.” I say. “How about we meet in the lobby in about twenty minutes?” I say.

He nods and kisses me. He slowly gets out of bed and walks out the door. I drag myself out of my bed and into the closet. I change into a purple bikini and put on a strapless, teal blue cover up on over it. I put on some flip flops, put my hair in a pony tail, pack a bag with a towel and sun screen and head to the lobby.

Alex

I kiss her and head out of the hotel. I go home and change into my swim suit, bringing a towel and slipping sandals on. Content with my appearance, I head back to the hotel and meet Taylor in the lobby, smiling once I see her.

Taylor

I smile once I see him walking toward me in the lobby. I smile and run to him, jumping in his arms and kissing him. He laughs and kisses me back. “The cab is here.” he says. We walk to the cab and he opens my door. I smile and slide in and he gets in after me. He puts his arm around me as we ride to the lake. I am not afraid to be there. I know I will be safe with Alex.

We get out of the car and head down to the lake. I dig through my bag and get out the sun screen. I am not getting burned. I put it on my face, arms and legs. I look over to Alex. “Do you mind putting some on my back?” I ask him.

Alex

Taylor smiles and runs to me, jumping in my arms and kissing me. I kiss her back and laugh, setting her down. I lead her to the cab and open the door for her, sliding in at her side. Upon arriving to the lake, we get out of the cab and head back down to the lake. She puts sunscreen on her face, arms, and legs before looking at me.

"Do you mind putting some on my back?" she asks.

I flash a smile and nod, doing what she asked.

Taylor

I smile and take off my cover up. He come over and rubs the sun screen on my back. He massages it into my skin and when he pulls his hands back, I turn around and grip his hand. He drops the bottle next to our stuff and we turn to the water.

We walk a few steps and I dip my toe in. The water is freezing. I quickly jump in the water and let my head go under the water and swim back up.

Alex

I wish I needed sunscreen...

I blink out of whatever trance I'd been in when she turns around and takes my hand. Dropping the bottle next to our stuff, I smile and walk to the water with her. She dips her toe in before jumping in. I flash a smile and back up, cannonballing into the water and searching for her before surfacing.

Taylor

I know Alex jumped in, but he is not up for air yet. I do not see him anywhere. I turn in all directions to see if he was behind me, but no Alex. I begin to worry. “Alex.” I call.

Alex

I sneak up beside her and wrap my arms around her, popping up for air and chuckling at her worry, "Right here."

Taylor

He wraps his arms around me. “Right here.” he says.

I splash water in his face, smiling, and swim and fast as I can to the middle of the lake. I can hear him swimming behind me. I quickly dive deep into the lake and wait for him to swim over me.

He stops right above me and turns around, looking for me. I swim up silently and right when he turns around I throw him under the water in a kiss. He comes back up for air and kisses me back. He pulls me close in arother kiss and I can feel his heart beating. “Aw did I scare you?” I ask.

Alex

She splashes water in my face, smiling, and swims away. I chase after her before she dives underwater and waits. I look around for her, wondering where she went. She throws me under in a kiss and I smile, kissing her back once I come back up for air. I pull her closer and kiss her again.

"Aw, did I scare you?" she asks.

I chuckle and shake my head at her, "A little, Tay."

Taylor

“Only a little? I guess I will have to try harder next time then.” I say.
I pull away from Alex and float on my back, looking up at the clouds. The sun is starting to set, so the clouds are pink and purple. I grip Alex's hand. “I wish this moment would never end.” I say.

Alex

She pulls away and floats, leaving me to follow along. She grips my hand and I look over at her.

"I wish this moment would never end," she says.

I sigh and nod, "Me too."

Taylor

I turn off my back and swim closer to him. I kiss him and he holds me as we look at the clouds. “I remember when I was younger, we would drive to Florida to go to the beach. It was always to cold to swim in New York. We would get the same hotel every year, because it had a huge pool. I would float in the center of the pool for hours and just stare at the sky.” I say. “What was your favorite thing to do as a kid?” I ask him.
