to keep me at the bottom. I was acting ridiculous. I was never intimidated by guys, hell; they were usually the ones intimidated by me. I was a bit of an aggressive girl, but not to an off-putting point. I just went after what I wanted, but this time what I wanted, didn't seem the least bit interested. I opened my eyes under water and noticed a dark figure standing at the edge of the pool. I let out the last little bit of air I had left, as I pushed myself up to the surface.
"Charlee, someone is at the back wall for you." Taylor laughed.
I looked in the direction of Wilton's house, when my watery eyes got caught in the ray of those mesmerizing blue eyes I had just seen. They instantly locked on mine, and I was suddenly speechless. I quickly walked up the steps of the pool, hugging my hands to my chest as a cool breeze floated over my hyper sensitive wet skin. As I got closer, his lips parted into a wide smile and I almost tripped over my own two feet.
I wasn't sure what he was expecting me to say, but once I got over to the well I didn't need to say much.
"Hey." Oh that voice! I closed my eyes for a brief second to take it in, before opening them and giving him my full attention.
"Hi, I'm Charlee." I didn't offer my hand, but I didn't need to. He was already propped up on the wall, looking down at me.
"Hi Charlee, I'm Dax. I just figured I should come introduce myself, seems how Wilton already knows you."
I could sense a small hint of irritation as he spoke about his roommate knowing me, but I left it alone. "Well it's nice to meet you. So what are you guys up to tonight?"
His eyes went wide, and I wondered if maybe I was being too forward. "Oh you know..."
Huh? No I didn't know. I gave him a perplexed look and then turned to introduce Taylor. "This is my girl Taylor. Taylor this is Dax."
She waved, and then went back to lying on her lounge chair, ignoring both of us completely.
"She seems fun." He winked.
"She is, she's just moody right now." I raised my hand to shield them from the sun, so I looked up at him. My tongue slipped out, wetting my bottom lip as I took in each facet of his adorably handsome face. He looked like a mix between Paul Walker and Kenny Chesney, weird I know, but so fucking hot. My mind flitted to thoughts of his bare sweaty back that I had seen earlier and I could feel the wetness pooling between my legs. When I caught sight of the dimple in his left cheek, I almost came right where I stood. What the hell was going on with me?
He cleared his throat, just as I realized that I was staring. "Well you guys are more than welcome to come over anytime. A couple of us are just hanging out. I have to get up super early for work, but you guys are coming over for sure for the party tomorrow night, right?"
I was at a loss for words, so I just simply nodded and smiled. When words still failed me, he must have taken that as his cue to leave. He jumped down off the wall, landing on the retaining wall on their side of the fence.
"Alright, well I guess I'll see ya around."
"Yes you will." I mumbled before turning on my heel, and walking the five feet to my lounge chair next to Taylor.
"Well that was smooth." Taylor laughed as she rolled over.
I was determined to get to know Dax, if it was the last thing I did. There was just something about him that I was drawn to, and it was more than just his good looks.

Dax
I must've had the widest smile when I walked back into the house, because the guys wasted no time giving me a rash of shit. I just laughed it off and nodded towards Aaron. "Hey man, you want to get out of here?"
"Yeah, where you want to go?" He grabbed his keys and we both walked out the front door.
"Let's go grab something to eat."
We took off down the street and I couldn't help but wonder if Charlee would take me up on my offer to come by tonight. I was silently hoping she would, but if not, no big deal. Or at least that's what I kept telling myself. All I could see every
