Against Reason

...Cuz I'm Bored

~"how the thought of you does things to me"~

A few days passed and I've fallen into a sort of rhythm. I drag myself through school, go home for a sec, then go get the Avila girls. I've actually grown rather fond of them. They're sweethearts, and they have funny stories. I originally dreaded this whole arrangement, but I'm enjoying getting to know Elody and Haven, plus I like spending time with their mom.

Today's Thursday, and I'm currently making a snack of ants on a log for the girls.

"My mom talks about you ya know" Elody says.

"Oh really? What's she been saying?" I nonchalantly ask

"Just how you're a really sweet girl. I think she likes you. Hey do you wanna see my tongue?" She moves on to a new subject quickly and I'm left wondering what else Vera has been saying. I giggle at her, watching as she sticks her tongue out as far as possible. Haven mimics her, as the younger sister usually does. Their cute laughs warm my heart.

I'm watching a movie with the kids in the living room when Vera comes home, two hours early.

"Hey guys!" she greets the girls who excitedly embrace her. "I finished up my work early and I thought I would take you girls to the pool since it's probably one of the last nice days of the year." The girls clammer and get riled up, before going to change into swimsuits. "You're invited too Aria." She looks amazing today, in a blue mid-thigh dress, that matches her eyes.

"I wouldn't want to intrude" I reason. I kind of want to binge Stranger Things or something.

"Oh shut up. You're coming" she insists. I go back to my house and quickly put on a black two piece under a baggy tee. Then I bolt back to the Avila's, and the girls are waiting at the door for their mom, with their blow up arm floaties and cute childish swimsuits.

"You guys ready to swim?" I ask. They rapidly nod their heads. Then Vera comes down the stairs, wearing a black coverup dress, exposing her perfect porcelain skin. She shoots a toothy grin at me.

"Everyone ready?" she inquires. I still don't have the ability to speak. How is one human so perfect? What planet is she from?

"Yu-yeah" I stutter. She smirks and walks outside.

After a very noisy car ride, we arrive at the public pool. No surprise, no one else is here since it's 4 on a school day. The girls dash to the pool and immediately get in. I set up camp in a lounge chair, preparing to binge read this whole book, My Year of Rest and Relaxation. Vera parks herself on the chair next to mine, and I pretend I'm not panicking inside. Gay panic is real, and 100 in 100 lesbians are afflicted with this life altering condition.

I peel my t shirt off, and I can feel Vera's eyes raking over my body. Not to sound conceited, but I have been told I have a pretty nice body. I have a decent sized ass and a small waist. Sure I have thick thighs, but guys find that shit hot. Anyways, when I take my shirt off I catch a glimpse of Vera looking at my body with lusty eyes. She meets my eyes, I raise an eyebrow, and she looks away, letting out a shaky breath that doesn't go unnoticed by me.

The whole exchange has me feeling hot and sweaty, so I dive into the blue pool. The girls are off playing mermaids, arguing over who gets what color tail. After a few laps, I look over at Vera, who's getting some sun, with her shirt off. She has on a red two piece that's not exactly what you'd call modest. My eyes drop to her cleavage, and I feel my brain get fuzzy.

"Goddamn" I mumble. She suddenly opens her azure eyes and says,

"You must like what you see." My cheeks flush red.
