Pool Party

God, she's so beautiful, Lzzy thought to herself as she sipped her beer. She found herself standing alone in a corner during her end of tour party, stealing glances at a blonde across the room.

"Well, aren't you just the social butterfly," Chris mocked as he walked up to Lzzy. "Whatcha doin' over here all alone?"

She shrugged and took another long drink. "Just thinking."

"If you stopped thinking and just told her how you feel, you could be dancing with her instead of hiding over here looking like the angsty goth kid at prom," he joked.

"Tell who how I feel?" she replied, shock evident on her face.

Chris raised one eyebrow up at Lzzy. "You and I both know who. You think no one has noticed you pining after Maria this whole tour?"

"Oh, God, am I that pathetically obvious?"

"To everyone but Maria, apparently," he laughed.

"Good, so she doesn't know," Lzzy breathed a sigh of relief.

"Not yet...but, I could help you change that..."

"Chris, I love you, I love you like crazy. But for the love of God, don't do me any favors."

Chris opened his mouth to protest, but was cut off as two drummers ran past them screaming.

"EVERYBODY IN THE POOL!!!" Arejay shrieked as he and Kent darted toward the patio door like madmen.

Lzzy lounged in a chair by the pool, sipping her drink and playing on her phone. She caught herself stealing glances at Maria as she sat on the edge of the pool kicking her feet. She watched over the top of her device as Maria stood and made her way to the diving board. Lzzy couldn't help but notice how her wet bikini clung perfectly to her curves. As Maria walked passed her, Lzzy opened her camera app and sneakily snapped a picture of her ass.

"Whatcha doin', sis?" Arejay questioned as he walked up behind Lzzy and grabbed her shoulders. She hurriedly clutched her phone to her chest, praying her little brother didn't see her screen.

"Just playing Candy Crush!" she lied, internally cursing herself for her obvious rushed dishonesty. Arejay cocked one eyebrow as he moved to stand beside his sister.

"You don't play Candy Crush..."

Shit... busted, Lzzy thought to herself. "Well just don't worry about it," She defended.

"Then get off your phone and get in the pool!" Arejay laughed as he snatched her phone away from her.

"Give that back, dude!" she shouted, jumping to her feet. He held her phone high over his head, just out of her reach. He kept laughing at his older sister's attempts to grab it back until she tackled him. As they fell to the ground, Lzzy's phone went flying from Arejay's hand. It seemed to happen in slow motion as the siblings watched the device tumble through the air. Luckily, it landed on it's back. Not so luckily, it slid to a stop right in front of Maria. Lzzy watched with horror as the blonde bent down and picked up the phone and started walking toward her. She shot her brother a dirty look as she stood and prepared herself for the worst.

"I believe you dropped this," Maria chuckled as she handed Lzzy's phone back. "Doesn't seem to be cracked or anything, though."

"Oh. That's good. Uh, thanks," Lzzy replied. She looked at her screen as she took her phone back. Locked. Thank God.

"Why don't you put that down and come get in the pool with me?" Maria said, holding out a hand to her friend. Not gonna say no to that, Lzzy thought as she sat her phone on a table beside her lounge chair. She could have sworn Maria winked at her as she took her hand.
