I wake up and feel happy. I sit at the edge of the bed before brushing my hair. I walk to the kitchen where Anne and Gemma are making breakfast.

"How do you look so pretty so early in the morning?!" Gemma says

I nervously chuckle

"I slept well"

"That's good to hear. Harry's a wild sleeper. I've found him on the floor a few times"

"I was practically falling off the bed"

We both laugh

"Would you like some coffee?" Anne asks

"Yes please"

She pours me a cup and places it on the table in front of me

"I'm also making some sausages if you'd like some"

"I'd love some"

She places a plate of delicious breakfast in front of me

"Thank you"

"You are very welcome, darling"

Gemma sits in front of me and we talk when Harry suddenly walks into the room

"Look who decided to wake up" Gemma says

"What's for breakfast?"

He rubs my shoulders and kisses the top of my head as Anne makes him a plate. He sits next to me and joins our conversation

"Anna darling, would you want to come with us to the lake?" Anne asks

"Yeah of course. That sounds nice"

"I am making sandwiches, is that alright with you?"

"Yes, I love sandys"

"Perfect"

I change into a basic black bikini with jean shorts and an oversized button up shirt on top. Harry hooks the boat up to Anne's car before she packs the food and drinks in a cooler. Harry and Anne sit in the front while me and Gemma sit in the back.

Harry backs the boat into the loading area in the lake before parking the car. We all get on the boat and Harry drives us out into the middle of the lake.

"Who wants to go for a swim?" Harry asks

"You're on your own" Gemma replies

"Anna?"

Harry looks at me and smiles

I can't say no to him

"Sure. I could go for a swim"

I take off my shorts and shirt and set them where I was sitting. We walk to the edge of the boat and hold hands

"3..2..1" Harry counts down

I jump but don't see Harry. I get back up to he surface and Harry is still on the boat

"Harry!" I exclaim

I swim to the boat and hold onto it. Harry is in hysterics

"Help me up!"

Harry holds out is hand I take the opportunity to pull him into the water. Anne and Gemma laugh. Harry comes up to the surface and does not look happy

"I cannot believe you"

"Payback"

He holds onto the boat and floats next to me

"Gemma your missing out" Harry says

He splashes her with water

"Harry!" I exclaim
