They were all sat around the pool again. Lorna had the pool built ready for the summer; and what a summer it was. They were out there almost everyday. It had cost her a fortune, so at the time she couldn't actually afford the heating. Throughout the cooler autumn days and then all through winter she had worked her ass off to buy the heaters, and now in the beginning of spring she had them fitted. Everyone she knew would come round and have some fun. She didn't mind as it didn't cost her anything and made her some very good friends. However, with a large group of friends there is always one you don't get on with. With Lorna it was James. She didn't know exactly what it was that she didn't like, but she just didn't. he was kind of arrogant, and he did always assume he was right; the annoying thing is that he usually was. But her being her she accepted everyone and didn't complain, which made her even more popular.
The group that were around today were her regulars - her best friends, four of which lived on her road and the other two and James lived quite a distance, and so was glad she could see them so often. Their stomachs had started rumbling at three o clock after a couple of hours of splashing about so they had started talking about ordering in. Paul climbed out of the pool to see who was knocking on the gate. Since the pool Lorna had put up a giant fence to keep out peeping toms. As he walked to the gate he was still talking, and he pointed out it would be best to just go home.
"Oh, sorry bud, I think we're all off," he said to James as he stepped through.
"What? Aw, I've only just finished work!" his voice was slightly tired.
"Sorry bud," he repeated and tapped him on the shoulder. The rest of the group started climbing out of the pool and running into the house to get dressed, avoiding the cool spring air.
He turned to Lorna who was wrapped in a big towel. "Erm, what are you doing?" He enquired.
"Going inside," she shrugged.
"Could I have a little swim?" His eyes said 'please' rather than his usual demanding so she shrugged again.
"Sure, knock yourself out."
The troops echoed their usual thanks and left closing the gate behind them. She walked up to it and turned the key. She walked towards the back door, and without turning her head she threw over her shoulder the words "Just knock on the door to tell me your leaving so I can lock the gate." With that she closed the kitchen door without waiting for an answer. She was shivering so she ran upstairs to the bathroom where she stood under some hot water in her shower to thaw out. She flicked on the heating and threw on a big jumper and some girly boxers. Her stomach attacked her demanding food so she went back down to the kitchen and stabbed a potato a couple of times and put it in the microwave. She slumped in front of the TV to find something to kill time. Finding absolutely nothing she settled for some game show that she didn't understand. When adverts came on she strolled back into the kitchen to check on her food. It only had a few minutes left so she went and poured herself a drink. She took a sip and looked out of the window. James was flying up and down the pool like a dolphin on speed. She was amazed at how fast he was going. She watched his muscular arms pushing in and out of the water. Her mind eyes wandered to his upper body when he leaned on the wall while he caught his breath. He was still mostly underwater but from what she could see he looked very thin - the healthy thin not 'we should feed him a burger' thin. He had pecks that made him look like a model. His back dented in deeply down the middle and she found herself wishing she could follow it all the way down until....
The microwave beeped and saved her from her thoughts. She didn't know why she was so intrigued, she had seen him topless before but she supposed she just hadn't ever looked. She pulled out the hot plate and, burning her fingers, she cut open the jacket potato and coated it in butter and cheese, then slumped in front of the tele.

A loud noise from the television woke her. She jumped, which took a few seconds to calm down. She rubbed her eyes: how long had she been asleep? The sun was beginning to set so she guessed it was about six o clock with it being spring. She stood up and reached for the remote to change the channel when it switched off, along with the lights and the street lamps outside. She walked to the window and peered out, where she saw most of the street coming out to look to see if it was just their own houses. She sighed and pulled out her phone. It was six twenty. She had been asleep for two hours at least, and now her body was stiff and tired. It was still practically the middle of the day so she went upstairs to change. The pool was the only thing that could really wake her up and tire her out at the same time, and didn't run on electricity. Well, the heaters did but she supposed it would still be a little warm. Hopefully.
She reached her room and closed one set of curtains. The only light came from the setting sun, when she closed the curtains she was encased in complete darkness. She couldn't be bothered to find a candle and matches so she opened them again and looked out. There was no one on the street and even if there was the chances of them looking up were tiny. The second window was to the side as it was a corner room. That window faced the back garden and a field that was empty. It was safe unless someone had access to her back garden. Thinking of it James didn't even bother waking her to tell her he was going. What a twat, anyone could have come in and messed up her pool with washing powder and crap.
She huffed as she gripped the hem of the big jumper and turned her back to the street window. She lifted it above her head, feeling the cold of the room hit her now naked skin. As she lifted it completely off her body and her arms still up she got caught in a stretch. After her a few seconds she flopped her arms to her sides and dropping the jumper. With the confidence of darkness she slid her girl boxers down her hips with her thumbs and a little wiggle until they fell and she kicked them off her toes. She ruffled through her draw to find some sort of swim suit, only finding one matching bikini and settling for it, sliding her long legs into the tiny fabric. She didn't normally wear this one as the bottoms were incredibly small and had a habit of sitting just that little bit too low on her, revealing little black hairs. She had bought them in turkey because the top made her boobs look amazing, which was a first for bikinis. She had bought a pair of cotton shorts to wear over them but they were in fact in the wash. Still she was alone. She untied the side ropes to tighten them, as it had been a while since she had worn this particular set. As she did so she stroked her sides admiring her new frame. Since the pool she had slimmed and toned amazingly. Being thinner also made her boobs look bigger than before.
She bent over and ruffled through the drawer once more to find the top half. She saw the sparkle of the glitter that lined it and she pulled it out. She looped it over her head and tied behind the neck before sliding her hands over her boobs to smooth the material down before tying round her back. She looked down at her 34B's. She had never felt good about them without clothes so she made her damn best with clothes. She looked out of the front window just to make sure, she saw no one and walked down the stairs carefully. Reaching the bottom of he stairs in one piece she flicked on the heating for when she came back in and threw a clean towel on the radiator closest to the back door. She braced herself for the cold. She opened the door quickly and the chill hit her skin, covering her with goosebumps. The temperature itself was actually warm to say she was practically naked on a spring night, but the breeze sent a chill straight to the spine. She closed the door to keep the heat in and stepped to the edge of the pool, about to dip a toe into the water to see how it was after about half an hour without heaters. It shouldn't have cooled that much.
As she stood next to the water she heard a bubble next to her right foot. She looked to see a body beneath the water. She gasped and cursed before jumping into the water feet first. The water was only tip toe deep so she hit her feet on the bottom. The water itself was freezing, and the shock forced all of the air from her to be expelled. She grabbed his arm and wrenched him out of the water, reaching the surface and gasped desperately for air.
"What the fuck? What the fuck did you do that for?!"
Because of the shock of the cold water and the panic she spoke between gasps.
