Cold.
The water was freezing cold. Maia gasped as she reached the surface of the water. She shook her hair out and glared at her friends, chortling at the side of the pool.
"You guys..." she grumbled, "What's your fucking problem? Why'd you throw me in??"
The three boys burst out laughing again. "We... We're sorry," said Will between giggles, "We couldn't help it..."
"You just looked so irresistible in that bikiki!" Leroy grinned. Maia couldn't help but smile. His grin was so infectious, you had to follow up with one of your own. Plus, he was just hot. He knew it, too. He had very dark skin, so black that he was nearly blue, and intense eyes.
"Shouldn't you tell me that in a sweeter way? Like, maybe saying 'You look hot in that bikini, Maia!"
"Naw, throwing you in the pool just says so much more," Sean said, "Like how much we love ya, you crazy kid!"
Maia pulled herself out of the pool, tossing her long red hair out of her face, and stood next to him. "Kid, my ass. I'm older than you!"
"Yeah, but you're shorter!"
"I can still beat your ass!"
"That would be amusing to watch," said Will, "But we'd be willing to work for your forgiveness." He winked at her from behind his wire-rimmed glasses.
"And what do you mean by that?" Maia smiled mischeviously.
The three boys looked at each other, as if daring the other to go first. Finally, Sean stepped up to her and put an arm around her still slick shoulders. His sandy blond hair fell into his face.
"Why don't we all go inside... And see what we can come up with," he said.
Maia stared at him and the others, amazed. Her three guys. All eager to please, to nearly beg for forgiveness. She looked over at Will and Leroy. They were practically salivating in anticipation. She only had to say the word, and they'd be racing to please her.
She paused for effect. "Ok, boys. C'mon." She put one arm behind Sean, and grabbed the front of Leroy's belt. With her free hand, she grabbed the front of Will's belt, and pulled them all into the changing room.
