Endless Love

Alex was stunned by the waterpark, and his excitement rose with every step. The waterpark had not been packed yet, because school aged children had not been let out for the summer. This meant that adults could have free reign of the place and not get in trouble for any inappropriate behaviors.

In Alex's excitement he had grabbed Lyla's hand, and Lyla didn't want to let go unless he said something to her. They walked like that all the way to the changing rooms; Alex in awe of the slides, and Lyla relishing in the fact that Alex had reached for her hand. She had to let go of his hand in order to go into the changing room, of course, and that was when Alex had noticed he grabbed her hand.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I hadn't realized," he apologized.

"It's okay, I promise," she smiled at him halfheartedly. She went into the changing room. The girls were looking at her expectedly to see what she would say. They had watched the whole thing play out, including Lyla blushing as Alex grabbed her hand.

She waved them off, "I'm okay, it's okay, we're okay," she said, trying to convince herself more than them. They patted her back then got their suits on. They came back out and spotted Alex finding tanning chairs and a table to claim for them. They started over to him to set their stuff down and decide what slide they were going to get on first.

They went off in separate directions, and everyone got on a slide except Lyla, she wanted to float the lazy river, and work on her tan. She floated past an older couple that had been canoodling and she found it to be a sweet sight. She wished that for herself - one day, but not today.

After about half an hour or so, the whole group met back up. They found a concession stand, then gathered at their chairs. They reported how great their slides had been, and decided to go on Serena's choice, because it went the fastest and had the most turns. They had eaten everything they bought and took a few minutes to let it digest, then headed over to 'The Destroyer.'

Once they reached the top, they could hear the water gushing; it caused their hearts to start beating more rapidly. The more the line moved up, the faster their hearts had gotten; adrenaline pumping through their veins. The excitement was barely containable now, they had reached the front, and they were giddy with anticipation.

They could only go two at a time, so Serena and Jessica went first. All seemed well until a high-pitched squeal met Lyla's ears, but it was out of joy and not fear. The lifeguard placed an inner tube in the water and held it for them so they could place themselves inside the cutouts. After what Lyla could only assume as the go ahead from the lifeguard at the bottom, they were pushed into the dark hole that sat in front of them.

The small, dark vacuum they had entered had thrown them to the right, then to the left. When they thought the turns had ceased, they were met with a large dip that dropped them into another left turn. By then they started seeing light fill the tube they were enclosed in, and when they shot through it, they were met with a large bowl. They zipped around the bowl with great speed, because Alex had sat in the back of the tube.

They had finally run out of moment, which brought them closer to the center, which greeted them with another dark abyss to go through. Again, they were tossed around in the dark of this long, winding tube, squealing and cheering all the way to the bottom. Once again, greeted by light, and this time it was the end of their exciting journey.

With the excitement being over, and their tube now being at the end, they were floated into the lazy river where Lyla had started her day at the waterpark. They saw Serena and Jessica farther up but felt no hurry to catch up to them. Lyla flipped around in the tube.

"Well, that was exhilarating," Alex exclaimed, shaking the water out of his hair. It now fell over his eyes, and Lyla found that to be quite attractive on him, so she leaned forward, now showing off the top of her bikini she had brought with her. His eyes did exactly as Lyla had intended and shifted down her neck to rest on her cleavage - causing him to immediately move his eyes elsewhere.

Lyla smirked at herself and moved herself closer to him in the already small space that was between them. Alex reciprocated his attraction to her by laying his hand on Lyla's leg, and she took this as an invitation to kiss him again; she did, and he kissed her back with such intensity. They then peeled themselves apart and fixed their appearances, because Serena and Jessica had made their way back to them.

She hadn't seen them making out, but she had seen them grooming themselves back into place. Of course, she let her own ideas of what could have occurred before they reached them fill her mind. She smirked when she caught Lyla's eye, "so, having fun are we?"

"We weren't doing anything, just fixing our outfits from the slide," she stumbled over her words. Serena's face told her that she did not buy the story that she just gave her. They moved on from that, and hopped out of the river near their seats, and began relaxing for the moment.

They spent the rest of the day going down slides, tanning, and floating along the lazy river. When they felt like they spent their day adequately enough, they changed into their clothes, loaded up in the car, and drove home. Another day, well spent, and another kiss bestowed.

Late in the middle of the night, Lyla snuck into Alex's room and stole him to her bed. He didn't really put up a fight, because he had been secretly waiting for her to come in to begin with. They climbed into her bed and moved as close as they could to each other. She found his embrace to be exceptionally strong, and she fell deeper into it.

They stayed like that, huddled into each other, and content. Alex had placed a kiss on the top of Lyla's forehead - he was enjoying his week with her and hoped that it didn't have to end. Lyla eventually fell asleep in his arms and dreamt of them together, but she was swiftly awake by a squeal.

Standing in the doorway was Carly, giddy with excitement at what she had just discovered. She ran from the room to what Lyla could only assume was Serena's room and was leading her to the doorway to see the spectacle as well. The sight was enough to wake Serena up to see what it was that Carly dragged her to see. She also became giddy and squealed at Lyla the sight of Lyla, then Lyla threw a pillow at her closing the door the rest of the way.

"If we just ignore them, we can go back to sleep and pretend they didn't just see us in bed together," she groggily spoke. It was exactly what they did. They rolled back over and went to sleep, forgetting what had occurred. The next morning, they knew they would hear about it from them come breakfast time.
