I sat on the comfortable beach chair with a big beach umbrella over it and Michael is beside me in another white beach chair. The hot sun blazed down on us while the 90 degree heat hit our skin and the pool water sits still in the pool and sparkles blue. The birds break the silence by singing their annoying songs on the tree branches and the sound of light soft music playing from stereo that is between Michael and I.

I looked over at Michael and he's on his phone smiling, looking cute as ever. The sun shines bright on his teeth making his teeth glow white. His brown skin glowed in the sun and his curly Afro is shiny black. Just wearing a white T-shirt kali shorts, he looks really handsome in his outfit.

Just looking at him makes me want to have a future with him, but I know that'll never happen. Well, that might happen because of he way he talks to me. "Perfect" and "Beautiful" I think he likes me.  No, it can't be, all boys say that to be nice.

All of a sudden, he puts his phone down on top of the stereo and starts singing softly to the music that's on.

Stop, the love you save may be your own
Darling, take it slow
Or someday you'll be all alone
You'd better stop, the love you save may be your own
Darling, look both ways before you cross me
You're headed for the danger zone

I listen to his beautiful soft voice and watched him bob his head and snap to the beat.

I'm the one who loves you
I'm the one you need-

"You sing really good." I complimented.

He looked at me through his sunglasses and smiled, "Thanks."

He continued singing,

They'll ruin your reputation
They'll label you a flirt
The way they talk about you
They'll turn your name to dirt, oh

His voice sounds way more different than than his young voice in the stereo. His voice sound kinda more deeper and mature.

Issac said he kissed you
Beneath the apple tree
When Benji held your hand he felt
Electricity
When Alexander called you
He said he rang your chimes
Christopher discovered
You're way ahead of your times

Michael took his sunglasses off and got up front the chair and start dancing all silly, making me laugh. He pranced, jumped around and wiggle his legs acting a fool.

He then grabs my hand, "C'mon, dance with me." He said helping me up off the chair.

I laughed, "Michael, it's too hot to be dancing right now."

I stood there laughing and blushing while he pranced around me and spun me around.

"Dance." He said again spinning me around with my hand. "C'mon the party started."

"It did?" I looked at him puzzled. "Well where is everyone?" I asked looking behind me.

"I never said I'll invite anybody else." He shrugged.

"What do you mean?" I shrugged.

He sighed and smiled, "Pool party only for you and me. Not anybody else." He pointed at himself then me.

I blushed and simpered.

"Now let's have some fun. Shall we?" He smiled.

I smiled back and nodded my head, "We shall." I concurred while he took my hand.

I blushed even harder feeling his warm, soft hand.

The song changed. Little piano sounds came on from the stereo and a familiar light voice started singing.

I've heard this song when I was younger, this songs rings a bell. I thought for a moment and realized it's a song by NeYo. Ne Yo is kinda a good singer and I absolutely love this song! It's called, "Never Knew I Needed".

"Let me hear you sing." Michael smiled at me.

I blushed and shook my head, "Nah. I'm good.

"Please. I wanna hear you. Please." He begged.

I shook my head again, "No. I really don't want to." I smiled.

"You're really pretty, that must mean your voice is pretty too." He said

I blushed and shook my head, "I don't wanna do it." I giggled.

"Aww man." He snapped his fingers. "Since you don't wanna sing for me, I guess you'll have to dance with me then."

I shrugged and giggled, "Okay."

He grabbed both of my hands and slowly pulled me closer to him. He looked down at me and smiled while I looked up and smiled at him back. He's a few inches taller than me so I have to look all the way up. He gazed at my eyes with his pretty chocolate brown eyes and medium long lashes, I did the same and felt butterflies forming in my stomach. We gazed at each other's eyes for about 10 seconds until he pushed me towards the pool! I screamed trying to catch myself from falling into the pool but I failed. I splashed in the COLD pool going underwater a little and I could hear Michael laughing at me. I pushed myself up and start screaming again.

"Michael! Omg that was totally not funny you jerk!" I shouted at him kinda laughing.

The cold water brushed against my skin making goosebumps begin to form on my arms.

"It's okay. I'll come down there with you." He said smiling.

He took off his shirt and then threw it on the ground, he kicked off his shoes and threw it on the ground wear his shirt was at. I stared at him gazing at his bare, brown skin. His body has a fainted 6 pack that doesn't really show and he has a white necklace on. He took of his kaki shorts and threw it on the ground having only his dark navy and white swimming trunks on. My eyes widened at the sight I was seeing. My heart pounded faster seeing his soft brown skin, glowing in the sun and his Afro shine.

"Here I come!" He jumped in the pool causing the water to splash in my face.

He swam underwater and I watched him come towards my way through the water. He came up from underwater and shook his head side to side like a dog, splashing more cold water onto my face.

"Here I am!" He exclaimed smiling widely.

"There you are." I playfully rolled my eyes. "Thanks for pushing me in the pool." I joked rubbing the sides of my arms.

"Haha. You cold?" He asked watching me rub my arms.

"No. I'm really hot." I sarcastically said.

Michael winked, "I know you are." He bit the bottom of his lip.

I sighed and laughed, "Michael, I didn't mean that way. I meant that the pool is hot." I playfully hit his arm.

"The pool isn't hot so you must be talking about yourself." He chuckled.

"I wasn't talk about myself, I was being sarcastic silly." I rolled my eyes.

He chuckled, "I know." He said walking towards a wall. "So how's life?" He asked.

I turned towards him and he has one arm on the concrete edge of the pool standing in 4 ft.

"Had a bad day today until I came here." I mumbled.

"Yeah." He said looking up probably rethinking what happened in Algebra. "Where were you during lunch?" He asked.

"I went to Prince's house and ate lunch with him." I said walking towards Michael.

Michael made a disgusted look on his face, "Prince?" He sounded grossed out.

I nodded my head slowly.

"Oh." He said playing with his wet fingers.

"How was your day?" I asked him.

"Hm. It was alright. Lunch was fun but it would've been more fun if you were there." He smiled at me.

"Why? What happened?" I asked.

Michael chuckled softly, "Your friends had a little food fight, we had a funny argument, Cameron asked Nia if he can be her boyfriend and she said yeah." He explained.

Cameron and Nia?! Why didn't she tell me all of this earlier?!

"Cameron and Nia is together?!" I exclaimed with my mouth open.

"Yep. I never knew it would happen but it did." He sighed and smiled.

I feel happy for her but I don't know why she didn't tell me this before or even texted me about it!

Michael and I chatted, swam, danced and flirted until the sun went down. We got out the pool and Michael walked me home. As soon as I went home, I ate some salad and checked my weight in Mama's room. Mama isn't home yet, she's at the doctors so I went in her room and checked my weight on the bathroom scale. It said, "121 lbs" I got kinda mad after I checked my weight.

I gained 1 pound after eating healthy all day today and exercising at gym class this morning. I even swam with Michael for hours and it still didn't show me any progress. Wait. Why am I getting mad? Loosing weight takes a lot of days, weeks or even months, it doesn't happen all in one day. Imma just chill and be patient with my weight loss.
