🎧' Cool Girl - Trove Lo

My mom’s boyfriend was throwing a pool party at his house, and his son — Chandler — was there too.

Chandler and I had never really talked much. Just polite nods here and there, maybe a “hey” in passing. Still, I couldn’t help but notice how good-looking he was. There was something about his quiet presence that always caught my attention.

I was wearing one of my favorite bikinis — a style close to a mono-knot string front wireless bra top with side-lace bottoms. I have to admit, it’s one of the swimsuits that flatters my body the most, and I knew it. The sun was out, music was playing, and even though we hadn’t exchanged more than a few words before, I had a feeling things might shift that day.
