“It’s a surprise,” I said.

            “Damn you,” Spencer said.

            I smiled at her sweetly. “Sorry babe,” I said. “You’ll just have to wait and find out.”

            “Sometimes I hate you,” Spencer said, smiling.

            “You won’t for very long,” I smiled.

            “I’ll believe it when I see it,” Spencer said.

            I just smiled at her. I stood up. “I’m going to go for a swim for a little while,” I said.

            “I’ll join you,” Spencer said.

            “Ky?” I said. “You coming?”

            “Sure,” Kyla said.

            We all got changed and went out to the pool. We swam around for a while. Then we laid out. Then we went back to swimming. “What time is it?” I asked.

            “I don’t know,” Kyla said. “Go check your phone.”

            I climbed out of the pool and grabbed my phone. “Damn it,” I said.

            “What?” Spencer asked.

            “It’s 5:30,” I said.

            “And?” Spencer asked.

            “We have reservations at 7,” I said. “And you and I need showers and to get ready.”

            “Oh,” Spencer said.

            “Yeah,” I said. “So get your butt out of the pool. I’m going to take a shower.”

            “All right,” Spencer said. She got out of the pool and walked toward the house.

            I ran inside and jumped in the shower. I took a fast one. I got out and wrapped a towel around myself. I walked out of the bathroom and into my bedroom. Spencer was sitting on the edge of my couch when I walked in. She was still in her bathing suit, water dripping all over her. I bit my bottom lip.

            “The shower is free,” I said. “Hurry up and take one. I’ll pick out something for you to wear.”

            Spencer stood up and headed for the door. “All right,” she said.

            I playfully smacked her ass as she walked out. She looked back and winked at me. I walked into the closet to find something to wear. I picked out a short, black, halter dress for myself and a knee-length, spaghetti strap, red dress for Spencer. I laid her dress out on the bed and got myself dressed. I picked out shoes for Spencer and I. She walked into the bedroom in her towel.
