Serena: hehe, glad you like it..I'll try not to keep you hanging..I promise!! ;D
Di: Comedic lessons? Haha! Nice! Only if i can get some lessons in being serious from you..
Cus I suppose at some point they have to be really pissed at each other or something..
And I'm always all sunshine and butterflies...so I dont know..
“You ready, angel?” Orli called up the stairs of Keira’s apartment after he quickly ran back to his own place to get his jacket.
“Yup, I’ll be down in a tick!” she called back and appeared at the top of the stairs a while later. She was wearing a comfy pair of jeans that sat low on her hips and a cute red top. She made her way down the stairs and grabbed her own jacket from the table when she reached the bottom. “Okay, let’s go.”
They left the house and got into Orli’s hired jeep. He put it into gear and drove off. After a moment of silence, Orli turned on the radio and the voice of Avril Lavigne singing ‘things I’ll never say’ filled the air.
I’m tugging at my hair,
I’m pulling at my clothes.
I try to keep my cool
I know it shows.
I’m staring at my feet,
My cheeks are turning red.
I’m searching for the words
Inside my head.
I’m feeling nervous,
Try to be so perfect.
‘Cause I know you’re worth it,
You’re worth it, yeah.
If I could say what I wanna say,
I’d say I wanna blow you away.
Be with you every night,
Am I squeezing you too tight...
The rest of the drive was spent in a comfortable silence as they listened to the song before Orli finally spoke up. “Umm, here we are.” They had arrived at a big house where a lot of cars were parked in the driveway and down the street. “You see anywhere to park?”<br>
Keira looked around, but saw nothing. “Nothing, but isn’t this jeep four-wheel-drive?”<br>
“Yup.”<br>
“Then we can make our way a little onto the beach like that guy did?” She pointed to a car a little onto the beach and Orli shrugged before he manoeuvred the jeep next to it. “Great. Let’s go.”<br>

“Wanna dance pretty lady?” Orli asked Keira a few hours later.
“Dance? I don’t think I can even walk!” she replied and giggled a little.
“That’s what I thought a while ago, and look at me now! I’m a walking miracle!” He grinned and pulled her up before she could argue, pulling her outside to the pool where Johnny was dancing with his wife. She had flown down this morning to join him.
‘I’d do anything’ by ‘Simple Plan’ started blasting over the speakers and they started dancing, laughing at the horrible balance they had at the moment.
‘This will be the one last chance
To make you understand.
I’ do anything
Just to hold you in my arms.
To try and make you laugh,
Somehow I can’t put you in the past.
I’d do anything
Just to fall asleep with you.
Will you remember me?
Like I know I won’t forget you.
I close my eyes,
And all I see is you.
I close my eyes,
I try to sleep
I can’t forget you.
And I’d do anything for you.’<br>
Orli picked Keira up by the waist and spun her around as the song ended came to another chorus. Keira laughed and Orli soon joined her before putting her down again. Keira was so dizzy after all the spinning, she fell over and grabbed Orli around the neck, which sent them both into the pool.
When they came back up they just started laughing and splashing at each other. Johnny was laughing at them and grabbed a big inflated tube that was laid next to the pool, throwing it over Orli.
“Hey!” Orli cried and manoeuvred himself onto the tube. When he got on top he settled back comfortably and looked down at Keira smugly. She just stuck out her tongue and climbed out by the stairs.
“You comfortable, elf boy?” she asked menacingly and Orli nodded. “Well, that’s too bad.” And with that she jumped onto him, making the tube bounce up and down on the water and almost capsize. Orli clutched at the sides with big eyes and Keira laughed at his expression, not even noticing their extreme closeness.
Orli did though, and swallowed nervously, trying to dismiss the urge of leaning a mere two inches upwards and capturing her lips in a fierce kiss. She just looks so damn sexy all wet like this. Her hair was hanging in little strings and her cheeks were slightly pink from the cold water.
Keira flipped over onto her back and laid back over Orli in an ‘x’, her hands behind her head and her legs lightly stirring the water. Orli settled his arms over the sides to toy with the water and his legs were just hanging loosely over the sides. They looked up at the stars and sighed contentedly.
“That’s the last time I dance with you,” Keira declared and Orli laughed; her joining him after a moment.
“Damn. What excuse can I use to hold you now?” he asked with his eyebrows raised.
They spent the next half an hour staring at the stars and getting to know each other better and when Keira shivered Orli pulled her closer to him and wrapped his arms around her to keep her warm. She snuggled into his warmth, ignoring the feeling stirring inside her from being so close to him.
It only felt like a few minutes to them before they had to get out and start making their way back home. When they attempted to make their way to the stairs of the pool without having to get in again, Keira had to turn on her stomach again to use her arms to paddle. But this time, they both noticed the closeness and paused, their eyes meeting with intense gazes.
Just as Orli scraped enough courage together to lean upwards, Johnny cleared his throat loudly when Orli had just lifted his head. The two jumped at the intrusion and scrambled around to get further away from each other, which only resulted in them losing their balance and the tube capsizing.
“So much for getting to the stairs relatively dry,” Orli said as they came up spluttering. Johnny just laughed at them and ran as they made their way out and started chasing him. In no time they caught up with him and piled on top of him with their wet bodies, Johnny screaming and laughing to the amusement of the other people.
After wetting him thoroughly, Orli and Keira got up after each placing a cheeky kiss on Johnny’s cheek and ran out of the house before he could do anything. They laughed as they reached Orli’s jeep and leaned against the doors to still their laughter after getting in.
“You’re not getting away that easily!” Johnny yelled between giggles as he ran out the door and towards them. Orli quickly roared the car to life and stepped on the gas just as Johnny reached them. The car jumped away and Keira turned around to blow a kiss to the disappearing Johnny.
The rest of the drive home was spent in a comfortable silence, neither of them trusting themselves to speak after what almost happened. In the end they just decided to ignore it as they pulled into Orli’s driveway.
“Thanks for the ride, Orli,” Keira said with a grin, kissed him on the cheek and jumped out of the jeep. “I’ll see you tomorrow!” she called and Orli waved as she quickly ran over to her apartment to get out of the cold.
“Sleep tight!” Orli called after her and she turned with a smile when she reached the door.
“Night night!” With that she opened her door and disappeared into her apartment. Orli grinned to himself and entered his own place, heading directly for bed.
