The sun was now high in the sky and the day couldn't have been more beautiful as we got into Adam's car. Emma told him to take the top road to the pool; I didn't know what the difference was but as we got to the top of a peak Adam stopped the car and I could see why she wanted to come this way.
The view was magnificent there were trees as far as the eye could see over looked by mountains rising out of the distance. In the valley below us was the lake we were headed for. It was surrounded by a sun drenched grass area that looked idyllic for any purpose.
"We want to build a house just there but we haven't got enough money yet," Emma said pointing at the far side of the lake.
I looked at her and asked, "You own this?"
She said, "Yes but not all of it, only to the edge of the park a mile or so in that direction to the road over there and to the bottom of that mountain pointing to a distant mountain that I could just make the peak out in the bright sunlight."
I didn't know what to say I just sat there overwhelmed by the landscape and what this young woman had just said to me. We got back into the car and set off down towards this haven of wonder. We pulled up by the lakeside and almost before the car had stopped Emma had stripped off and was out running across the grass, as I looked at her tanned skin she dived into the clear water disappearing from view. Adam got out of the car and walked to the edge of the water looking over the surface to see where his girlfriend would surface, he looked at his watch and back at the water there was no sign of her and he looked worried.
"I wish she wouldn't do this," he said loud enough for me to here every word.
It had been almost four minutes since she had disappeared and when I asked Adam what was the problem, he said. "She loves torturing me."
I said, "From what I saw last night, it looked like it was you who likes torturing her." He looked at me and smiled. Then there was a splash in the water it was Emma on the far side of the lake.
"Oh fuck," Adam said and striped off and dived into the water and started to swim across the lake.
Emma waved to me as Adam continued to swim towards her. He looked amazing cutting through the water with an air of elegance. I watched as he got close to Emma and dived under the water and came up next to her and they started to kiss. It looked lovely in the distance.
I removed my jeans and T-shirt then gingerly entered the cool blue water; by the time I was half way in my nipples had hardened so I didn't wait I just ducked my head under the water.
