I grabbed my luggage and tossed it on the bed, unzipping it quickly to get into a bikini and hit the pool. My parents dragged me to their "peaceful" vacation yet left me alone in the hotel. Luckily for me, I got my own room away from my annoying little brother.
Now that I'm 18 I don't have to do activities with my parents. These vacations that my mother loves so much gets annoying after doing them three times a year, every year.
I hear knocking and groan loudly, walking over to the door and opening it. My mom has her usual peppy smile on as she asks for the millionth time if I want to go mountain climbing with them.
"I'm fine mom. I'm just going to go to the pool and relax. Maybe tomorrow's activity," I say kindly, knowing damn well I can't disrespect my mother. I have no reason to really. She's nothing but kind to me. But I'd rather stay away from her now that I have the opportunity.
You see, my mother is southern baptist. She's very religious and I'm... well... I'm something she doesn't want me to be.
Lesbian.
If she ever found out I'd probably be disowned. Since I'm planning on moving out soon enough and heading to college, I need her to not hate me. She is paying for my college tuition.
"Is that what you're wearing? Its a bit... provocative don't you think? I don't want any guys hitting on you or anything. Or trying to do things to you that..."
"Mom don't stress. I'm not trying to get any guy's attention. Its just extremely hot and I'd rather wear this than my one piece!" Technically I was telling the truth. I wasn't trying to get a guy's attention, I was trying to get a girl's attention. But my mom doesn't need the details.
She looked at my tiny bright green and white striped bikini with shorts underneath and sighed frustratingly.
"Ok, but be careful!" I nod and lightly shove her out the door. I take off my shorts and put on my tight black bikini bottom that my mother would never approve of. I peek outside the window to make sure our van was gone and run out to the pool. Two men immediately looked my way when I jumped into the cool water but I shrugged them off and began swimming. Closing my eyes underwater, I swam from one end of the pool to another. I opened my eyes momentarily and lost all my breath as I rammed into a pair of legs.
In order to get my footing back I grabbed onto the legs, noting how smooth they were. I break the surface and stare into the eyes of a beautiful women.
"You alright?" She asks with a giggle. My eyes are wide and wondering, my hands, which had slid up her legs and onto her waist, still holding on.
