"I do not! You makemyhair gray because you make me want to strangle you sometimes," I flick his hand.
"You'rethe one who talks my ears off."
"Oh yeah? Wellyou'rethe one who just apparentlyneedsto be babied when you're sick," I scrunch my nose at him. Gosh he's the biggest baby in the world.
"You'rethe one who leaves your damn hair all over the place."
"Listen here,hoss.I can't even help that! Andyoulove to leave the stupid toilet seat up in the middle of the night. I've almost fallen in because of you!" I point at him.
"Youdon't know how to keep your fuckin' frozen feet off of me during the night."
"You're always warm you donkey! At least I don't snore!" I raise my eyebrow at his gorgeous face.
"Oh, bullshit. Your ass snores every now and then. And unlike you, I don't find it fun to watch thecomedymovies youmakeme watch."
I scoot my stool closer to him and he watches me come closer.
"At least I don't watch the world's scariest freaking movies and find amusement in them likeyou,"I narrow my eyes at him.
"Youlove your flowers more than you love me," he turns his head away from me, hiding his sulky expression.
"Not true! You're just saying that because I always make you get up off me in the morning so I can go water them. Andyoudon't like fixing yourself coffee so you always get me to do it by saying you don't know what to do, even though youdo."
"That's 'cause you make it better than me," he turns his head back to me, "you don't like making it for me?"
His eyes flit between both of mine. I tilt my head low and give him a soft smile.
"I'm just teasing, I don't mind it."

"I'm scared," I admit, looking down at the heated pool in front of me. The past hour, I've sat with my feet in the water, watching all the guys have fun in the pool.
Now just recently, they've all gotten out to get lunch and do other things.
They all tried to coax me into the pool but I'd rather just sit and watch everyone have fun. But now that they're all gone, I have no excuse to keep me from getting in other than 'I don't want to.'
"You think I'm gonna sit here and let you fuckin' drown or some shit?" he rolls his eyes.
"Come on," his voice turns softer, "I've got you Lilah."
"What if you accidentally forget I can't swim and you let me go and I sink like a rock?" I come up with probably the most realistic question in the world.
"I won't let anything bad ever happen to you, okay?" he gives me one of his baby smiles. I sigh softly and pull off the t-shirt I have on. I sit it on one of the chairs by the pool and I walk to the stairs. Grey grips onto my hand firmly and doesn't let go as I walk into the pool.
"Not so bad," he tucks my hair behind my ear as I still cling to him even though we're in the three-foot part of the pool.
We walk a little deeper and I cling tighter.
"What would happen if I peed in the pool?" I question aloud. He sighs softly.
"I'd feel the water turn warmer beside myfuckinglegs."
"It's not like I'd actually do it," I tell him.
"I wouldn't put it past you," he grumbles.
"Lean back," he tells me and I shake my head rapidly.
