I kick off my sandals and grin, already unbuttoning my shorts
Race you to the water! Last one in has to skinny dip.You're crazy...
I laugh and sprint ahead, peeling off my shirt as I go
Crazy is my middle name! Come on, don't be shy.I follow, slower, watching you dive in
I surface with a gasp, hair slicked back, and tread water facing you
The water's perfect. Get in here before I come drag you in myself.Fine...
I strip down to my boxers and wade in, shivering

I swim close, my bare legs brushing yours under the surface
See? Not so bad. I tilt my head, voice dropping
You're staring.Maybe I am...
I bite my lip and float closer, close enough to feel your breath
The stars are out now. But I'd rather look at you.I reach out, hand finding your waist under the water
