Daniel said I could go for a swim in their pool. They'll be out of the house for a bit, but ultimately it'll be a calm day so I've got free reign in backyard Larusso.
I hadn't gone for a swim all summer yet and I've been dying to get in some swimming and sun time.
I put on a black bikini, my cross necklace, flip flops and grabbed my beach bag which had a towel, my book, my phone and earphones, water and suntan lotion, and sunblock.
I pushed my sunglasses up onto my head before I grabbed some lemonade and went outside into the sunny backyard.
The water was clear and crisp - freshly cleaned by the looks of it.
I set down my things on the lounge chair by the pool and the table beside it.
Before I could go for a swim, I massaged sunscreen all over my body. I put a bit of suntan lotion on and laid back in the chair with my sunglasses on, letting the golden beams wash over my body.
I had my eyes closed and was enjoying a moment of serenity when suddenly
"Daniel! Open up! C'mon, you come into my dojo to trash talk me, now you can back it up!"
I jolted at the yelling, my heart racing as I turned to find Johnny at the door. I was a little relieved it was him, but at the same time I was excited by his presence.
"He's not here." I said.
He turned to me.
"Shit, really?" he was visibly disappointed and was hoping to kick Daniel's ass today.
"Yeah, he's busy with work today. Its a busy day for the whole family. Thats why they let me use the pool today." I explained.
He nodded and looked around.
"So, Larusso's really not here?"
"No. Anything I could help you with?"
"Not really.. I came here to fight, and I dont fight chicks."
As I suspected, but I appreciate his transparency.
"Maybe you can hold off on the fighting, and come for a swim." I then turned around and jumped into the pool.
I came up for air.
Treading the water, I taunted him.
"What? Scared you'll rust if you get in the water?""No."
I swam to the edge of the pool, resting my arms across the ledge.
"The water's fine, you know."
"Yeah, well, I didn't come to swim."
"Okay, I guess I'll just be skinny dipping alone." I innocently smiled and batted my eyelashes.
I took off my bikini bottom and threw it at him. He caught it, and looked at it.
I swam to the other side of the pool, staring him down, challenging him.
I slowly untied my bikini from the back, then reached up to behind my neck to finish untying it.
A sly grin grew on Johnny's face.
"You're not serious."
"I'm not?" I raised an eyebrow. I untied the bikini string around my neck, revealing my breasts.
