caught a glimpse of Shelly and Scott out of the corner of my eye. They were doing the same thing, only she was giggling the whole time he was rubbing lotion on her.
    Keith showed up with Liza. He pulled their lounge chairs up beside us. John was all by himself. I wondered why such a big and handsome guy like him was all alone. He pulled up a chair and took out a book from his bag. As we lay in the sun, Jesse held my hand, never breaking our connection. I must have fallen asleep, because I was woken up by a hand gently shaking my shoulder. Jesse’s sexy voice whispered in my ear.
    “Bailey, wake up; let’s take a dip in the pool to cool off,” he said. His green eyes were looking down at me, with his hand held out to me. I took his hand and followed him to the shallow end of the pool and down the stairs, sinking slowly into the water. The water was refreshing as we waded in deeper.
    We swam out to the deep end and treaded water, watching Shelly and Scott playing in the pool like a couple of kids. They were very comical, and I couldn’t help but laugh at them.
They make a cute couple
, I thought. Jesse swam over to me and put his arms around my waist.
    “Will you have dinner with me again tonight?”
    “I’d love to,” I said, sliding my arms around his shoulders.
    “That’s exactly what I wanted to hear,” he smiled. He suddenly launched himself backward in the water, taking me with him. I laughed as I straddled his body with water splashing up in my face. He was smiling at me as his legs kicked to keep us afloat—my very own personal and extremely handsome floating device.
    It was a very intimate position, but he was just playing, so I wasn’t feeling intimidated at all. We swam around and played in the water for a while, laughing and splashing just like our friends. It was fun and refreshing and a little sexual at times asour bodies entwined in compromising positions while we played. We finally rested against the side of the pool, his arm around me as we watched Keith and Scott still playing with the girls in the shallow end. They were running around like little kids, making a spectacle of themselves. John was still sitting on a lounge chair reading his book.
    “What’s up with John?” I finally asked.
    “John is engaged to Natalie, and he’s very faithful to her. The rest of us are single, if you hadn’t noticed.” He stressed his point with wiggly eyebrows and a smirk.
    “Is that so?” I giggled at his expression.
    “Any other questions, Miss Harris?” he smirked.
    “Not at the moment,” I smirked back at him.
    “Did I tell you how incredibly beautiful you are? Bailey, you have a smoking body,” he said, smiling his panty-dropping smile.
    “You’re not so bad yourself, Mr. Greene,” I replied.
    “Let’s see, if I recall correctly, you said that I was beautiful,” he said, throwing my words back in my face with a chuckle.
    “Did I now? It must have been all that wine.”
    “So tell me, did you dream of me last night?”
    I blushed. “You may have crossed my mind a couple times.”
    “Only a couple, I’m crushed,” he said, putting his hand over his heart and falling backward in the water for effect. “You were all I dreamed about, beautiful,” he confessed.
    “I hope they were good dreams,” I said as he swam back to me.
    “Oh, honey, they were the best dreams ever.” He grabbed me and twirled us around in the water. We were both giggling as John walked over to the edge of the pool and waved at Jesse.
    “Jess, let’s wrap this up; it’s four thirty,” he said, pointing to his watch.
    “OK, man, I’ll be right there,” Jesse said, releasing me. I looked at him, wondering what was so important that he had to leave after only a couple hours together.
    “Bailey, I’ve got to go, but I’ll see you at six o’clock in the dining hall, OK?” he said, kissing me.
    “I’ll be there.” I watched him pull himself up the side of the pool. He gathered his stuff, and Scott and
