"Well I mean how weird would it look to come home to you with your arms around me? I mean they don't even know me!" Rory might've been looking a bit too into this, getting all worked up over nothing. But this was so fragile to him. He didn't want to lose this so quickly; he'd only just gotten it! What if her grandparents didn't like him? What if they didn't approve of him? What if they were racist and didn't like half Asians?
Yes, he was looking way too far into this.
"You're right," Rory said finally, rolling his eyes at himself for being so silly. "And true I mean we're just hugging, sort of. What's a hug? Who cares about a hug?" Rolling his neck, Rory laughed at the pair of them, standing in the pool all alone.

'I'm sure everything will be fine', Dexxie laughed, swaying them both back and forth in the water. Though she'd spoken of kissing earlier she couldn't quite bring herself to do it, she was so out out practice. What if she was really bad? Maybe she should practice a little on the back of her hand or something before trying to kiss an actual person.
'I know it's a hell of a lot warmer than New York here, but still, do you think it's a little cold to be swimming?', she said, suddenly quite cold, there were goosebumps on her arms. The wind had started to pick up quite a bit since they'd gone outside.

Rory chuckled when Dexxie mentioned that it was kind of cold. He hadn't even realized because he was still all hot and bothered from the whole 'i like you' thing. "Yea it is kinda chilly," he said, suddenly shivering when a sharp breeze came by. "Sorry for throwing you in... probably should've thought to check the temperature first," he added with a laugh as he moved to get out of the pool. Once on the ledge, he put his hand out for Dexxie to take (even though the latter was right there... he's just SUCH a gentleman, duh).
"Wanna.. uh.. I dunno," he laughed. "Do something else?" That was kind of obvious. But really, it not being his house, he didn't know what there was to do. And he still felt kind of weird for just ignoring the fact that they'd both admitted their feelings.

'Yeah, I guess we should...', Dexxie raised an eyebrow at Rory as he helped her out of the pool. Is this how thins were going to be now? Awkward as hell? If so then Dexxie sort of wished she hadn't said anything at all. Maybe she was better off being lonely because she honestly felt like her friendship was slipping away. A little frustrated Dexxie folded her arms across her chest and practically marched back in to the house where she immediately headed for her bathroom to grab a towel.
Stupid, stupid girl, Dexxie thought to herself as she wrapped the towel around her body and sat down on the edge of the bath, she had left the door open on purpose, so that Rory would know where she was, she didn't want him to think she was mad at him.

Rory smiled down at Dexxie as she passed him and tromped into the house, right to the bathroom. He more than figured she was going for a towel. He kind of wanted one too. Waiting a moment just in case she was actually using the facilities as well, Rory leaned against the glass door on his shoulder and traced over the tree tattoo on his arm like Dexxie had. That made him chuckle a bit, remembering her doing it instead.
After about five minutes, Rory turned to see the door to the bathroom open and the light inside still on. Confused (and slightly air dried), Rory stepped into the house and made his way towards it. Cautiously, so as to not accidentally walk in on her, Rory stuck his head through the door to find her sitting on the edge of the tub. "Whatcha doing?" he asked, cocking his head to the side and offering a smile. "Been in here a while, huh?" Coming the rest of the way in, Rory grabbed a towel for himself and wrapped it around his waist. "Y'okay? Been acting kinda funny. Not that I'm one to speak..." he said, putting his hand behind his head and pulling at his hair.

'We're both acting funny, I don't like it', Dexxie replied, sulking and for some reason climbing in to the bath with her towel still on. Frowning she laid out in the bath her arms folded over her chest eyes fixed on the shower head attached to the opposite wall. Of course she was being over dramatic about the whole situation, and however much of a bad mood she was in she was kind of having fun being sulky. With Rory in the room it was hard for her not to start laughing, but she tried to stay strong.
'It's really cold in here', she muttered, sitting up and unwrapping herself from the shower. The air-con was still on full blast when it really didn't need to be. Tossing the towel out of the tub she reached over to turn on the shower it sputtered to life and at first was cold but slowly grew warmer. Looking slightly happier Dexxie edged in to the part of the tub where the water was falling and just sat there looking up at Rory.
'Why does it always rain on me?', she fought hard to keep a straight face but ended up bursting in to laughter, 'Oh my God, I cannot be serious'.

Rory stood, arms crossed over his chest and brow cocked, just watching as Dexxie moved around. First she was sat in the tub, then up, then the shower head was on.. now she was sitting in it? It was quite a confusing feat, but when she asked why it always rained on her, Rory couldn't help but laugh like she was. "You're a nut," he said slowly as he removed his towel then moved to get in the tub with her. "Scoot over. If you're gonna get rained on, then so am I," he said, pushing his hips against her as he tried to get under the water. Showers were never really built for two people, so it was kind of difficult to get 'rained on' while she was sitting directly beneath it.
"Alright," Rory said in an almost grunt as he got to his knees and put his hands on Dexxie's waist. "You," still a grunt, "are going to sit," he'd lifted her up now and shimmied beneath her, "right here." And with that, Rory plopped Dexxie down on his lap. Now, they were sat perfectly beneath the shower head, water falling equally over both of their faces. Rory wasn't quite sure why he'd done this.. he could barely see now as the water ran into his eyes. Spitting what water got into his mouth out, Rory burst into a fit of giggles as he looked at Dexxie.
This all felt like a scene from some big cheesy chick flick.
"Happy now? I was dry, you know!" he teased, wrapping his arms around her waist.

'I'm sorry', Dexxie laughed, leaning her head back on Rory's shoulder, and closing her eyes. This was far better than the pool. It was actually kind of romantic, in a really cheesy way. If this was a full on bath rather than a shower then they'd be in a romantic comedy right now.
'I'm not good at this whole 'feelings' thing you know?', she added, doing the air quotes with her eyes still shut. Now this would be weird for her grandparents to walk in on. Dexxie wondered about getting up to close the door but didn't want to move from Rory's lap. Hesitantly she turned her head to the side and opened her eyes, Rory's face millimeters from hers.

"Eh, me neither," Rory shrugged when she mentioned the 'feelings thing'. It was true though, he kind of sucked at it. Previous girlfriends had called him awkward, and he wouldn't doubt that Dexxie would too. He kind of hoped she wouldn't, but he wasn't about to get his hopes up because he was indeed a very awkward person. It came with being tall, he assumed. Weren't most tall people just naturally awkward? Maybe not. But he was.
When Dexxie turned her face to look at him, Rory smiled and tilted his head ever so slightly to the side. "What?" he asked, the smile broadening, their faces nearly touching. Awkward inner Rory told him this was too close and to pull his face back. But excited omg-this-is-the-girl-you've-been-waiting-for Rory told him to kiss her. So he did. Yolo-ing the shit out of the moment, Rory very quickly pressed his lips against hers then brought his head back to its original position.

It had finally happened, they kissed, and it was perfect, if not a little unexpected. Dexxie thought she would have to make the first move, but here they were kissing, however fleetingly. As soon as Rory moved away Dexxie followed him, kissing him again, he wasn't getting away that easily. It was strange, because she had expected it to be a bit weird, what with them being such good friends, but it wasn't. Not really.
'Hey, um, not that I'm not enjoying this but I think we should get dry and stuff', Dexxie smiled, pulling away and standing up, 'You've made me all paranoid about people coming home', she laughed, stepping out of the tub and grabbing her towel back.
'I've actually thought of something I can show you, I'm gonna go get changed in my grandparents bathroom, I'll be back soon'.
