It was another day of staying with Walter's, which marked another day since the car crash, and another day since your life had completely changed. You hadn't intended to end up in a house full of boys, but hey, you weren't complaining. Especially because of Cole. He was mysterious; too mysterious. You were dying to get to know the real him.

It's the Fourth of July, a very hot one at that, and you're heading to the lake with Cole, Danny, Alex, and Nathan. It's not too long of a walk, but it's long enough that you start getting bored and start fidgeting with the string of your bikini bottoms. You always subconsciously fidgeted with something when you were, and you never thought anything of it - but Cole noticed, and he was desperately trying to hold himself together.

You guys were soon in the nice and cold water, soothing your heated, and quite tanned, skin. You were playing chicken, and of course, since this wouldn't be a great storyline without it, you were supposed to sit on Cole's shoulders. Cole dunked under, giving you easier access to get on, and once you were on, he came back up, causing you to wobble a little.

"Don't worry, I ain't gonna let you fall down... yet," His words came out so sexy with that country accent, his hands gripping your thighs.
