Buying time, I duck beneath the cool water again, tilting my head to let my hair slick back against my scalp. When I surface, he's pulling himself out of the pool and walking gingerly a few feet away.
I watch the way his back glistens in the sunlight, rippling muscles and taut skin, before he flops down on the ground.
God damn.
I lick my lips, tasting chlorine and uncertainty.
Just do it.
I exhale sharply, following right behind. I sit down with my arms across my spread knees. "You okay, man?"
He glances over with a grin. "Yeah, thanks."
