Chance headed all the way to the end of the hall where his room was and dug through his dresser until he found his white board shorts. Stripping off his clothes that he had slept in he pulled his swim suit on before heading down stairs, stopping at the hall closet to get two towels. When he made his way outside he saw that Alex was already sitting on one of the lawn chairs. He was glad she wanted to spend time with him still.
He tossed her a towel before putting his on one of the lounge chairs that sat near the pool and then dove expertly into the pool. Ever since Chance was a kid he had a pool so he had become quite a good swimmer. Plus living on the coast helped a lot too. He resurfaced and ran his hands through his short blonde hair before floating on his back, enjoying the warm rays from the sun. |

Alexandria caught the towel he threw to her, [b/]”Thanks,”[/b] she said sweetly. She stood up and jumped into the pool, doing a pencil dive. The pool felt refreshing, since it was rather hot outside and the pool was cool. She did a few breast strokes, popping her head up after each kick. Alex dipped her head back and felt the water cool down her scalp before looking at Chance, and then at the sky. There weren’t many clouds in the sky, and the sun was shining so brightly. Alex pushed herself to the bottom of the pool before pressing on the bottom to go back up. Her hair flipped back as she smiled, the water dripping down her chin into the water. [/size]

The water felt amazing against the heat from the day. Chance swam around for awhile longer before climbing out and grabbing his towel. He headed to the diving board and laid his towel on it before stretching out on the white surface that hung over the crystal clear pool water. He lay on his back at first, his knees bent and his eyes closed as he let the sun warm and dry the water droplets that still clung to his chest and abs.
He opened one light blue eye for a moment as he glanced over to where Alex had been just moments ago. |

Alex kept swimming around in the water, feeling like a mermaid. It was odd; when she was swimming she didn’t feel wet, just that she could defy gravity, float, and her fingers turned into raisins. She did a couple of summersaults, feeling like a little kid. But hey, she hadn’t swum in what felt like forever. ”You’re so lucky, you can swim whenever you want,” she said, feeling jealous. Alex then attempted to do a handstand, which sort of failed. She was up for a split second then fell back into the water. She swam over to the steps and sat on the bottom one, looking at Chance.

Chance raised his head and opened his eyes as he looked over at her when she spoke. A soft chuckle escaped his throat and he laid his head back down on the diving board once more.
"Ya know you live here now so you can go swimming whenever you want too." he replied with an amused smile still on his face. He figured it would probably take her a little while to get use to this being her home but he was glad she had come along. The place was a lot less lonely now that she was here and it wasn't just him all by himself. |

”I suppose it is” Alexandria agreed with a small smile. It would take her time to get used to the idea that this was also her home; for now. She got out of the water and walked over to the lounge chair, placing her towel on it and then laying back. She decided to air dry instead of drying off by using the towel. She felt the rays of the sun evaporate the water droplets on her skin as she laid then, her back facing the sun. She was fair-skinned, so she couldn’t stay out in the sun for long without sunscreen. She lay there, still, as if she was dead, listening to the sounds of birds around her. She was sort of tired, but tried to stay awake.

After a good amount of time had passed, Chance rose from where he was laying and grabbed his towel as well, wrapping it around his waist before slipping his swimming trunks off underneath his towel. He hung his swimsuit on the railing for the porch so that it could dry in the warm sun before he secured the white towel around his waist.
"I'm gonna make some lunch. What would you like?" he asked, hoping she would pick something easy. He wasn't the best chef but he could make the easy things pretty well. He stopped in the doorway into the house, putting a hand on the doorframe as he turned to face her before going all the way in the house. |

Alex peeked her eye open as she watched Chance walk off the diving board and wrap a towel around his waist. Still peeking she saw him slip his trunks off underneath and she quickly looked away. When he asked her what she wanted for lunch she waited a second or two to think.
”Whatever you’re having. I’m fine with anything, I’m not really picky,” she said, slowly getting up as she wrapped her towel around herself burrito style like her mom used to do. She stood up all the way and followed him to the door, waiting for him to open it since he was sort of blocking it with his hand on the knob and all. She smiled, as she was funny dry and ready to eat lunch.

Chance smiled a little at her response before opening the door to the house and heading inside. He wasn't quite sure what he wanted for lunch anyways but pizza was starting to sound pretty good at the moment. He went to the refridgerator and looked at the menu that hung there before dialing the number for the best pizza delivery place in town. He didn't press talk just yet and instead turned to face Alex, putting his hands on top of the counter.
"What kind of pizza do you like? We do a large half and half." he replied as he glanced down at the phone to be sure he still hadn't pushed the talk button just yet before his light blue eyes looked back up at her as he waited for her response. |

”Just cheese would suit me fine,” she smiled as she searched for a glass to fill up with water. She opened up a few cabinets before finding the one that held all of the glasses and cups, and she grabbed one out of there. She then walked over to the refrigerator and filled her cup up with ice and then water. She took a sip before looking at Chance who was about to dial the number for the pizza.
She tapped her fingers on the edge of the counter quietly as she waited. Alexa took another sip of the cold, yet not too cold, water and took at seat on the bar stool at the counter. She spun around slowly, as she didn’t want to interrupt Chance when he called the pizza place.

Chance clicked talk and ordered a large half cheese and half meat lovers before hanging up the phone and informing Alex that it would take about thirty minutes to get there. He hung the phone back up before reaching into the fridge and pulling out his already opened Gatorade from breakfast and taking a drink. He rested his arms on the counter and turned to look at her, a curious look on his face.
"So I heard something about you and Logan Roberts. Is it true you two are together now?" he asked, waiting for her answer before he decided how he felt about his little sister dating the guy that had messed with Tyson and Giselle's relationship and ended their wedding. |

Alex nodded when he said it would take thirty minutes. ”Any longer and it’s free,” she replied. Well, that was how it worked for most places, if it took over thirty minutes then it was free; talk about good deal. She sipped her iced water one more and then was startled by his question; she almost took a spit-take. She slowly gulped her water down, so now spit-take would be happening.
Alexa bit her bottom lips as she slowly looked up at him. ”Uh, yeah. I know you don’t approve but he’s really sweet and cares about me. The feelings are mutual.” she said, not making eye contact. It was a bit awkward to be telling this to a Logan Roberts hater, but she had to tell her brother after all. ”He has changed, he’s not what GG says at all.” she informed, raising her chin up. ”Also, I may be moving out soon, getting my own apartment so I can stay in L.A with Logan,” she said, not making eye contact once more.

Chance nodded slowly as he took in the information he was hearing. The part about her moving out already both surprised him and saddened him as he had been excited about not being in the huge beach mansion alone anymore. Plus he was glad to have a sibling to get to spend time with and talk to and stuff.
"Well fine then, if you really like him then invite him over right now. See if he wants to come have pizza and I will get to decide if he is as sweet and nice as you say. I think as your older brother and only real family that I deserve to have some say in all this." he said, unsure if he was wrong or not. He hadn't had siblings before so he didn't know if he was overstepping his bounds or not. |

Alexa bit her bottom lip as he spoke. She got butterflies in her stomach as she wasn’t preparing for this. She took a deep breath and thought about what he was saying. Step one: call Logan, step two: invite him over, step three: get Chance to like him. She didn’t dare look at Chance as she picked at her cuticles, feeling nervous.
”Uh, if you’re sure,” Alexa said uneasily, hearing her voice quiver. She wasn’t sure if he really got the final say, but she didn’t dare argue. Slowly her feet dragged her to the phone, forcing the rest of her body to come along. Alex though for a minute about what his number was, and then her eyes caught sight of her hand. Right, she wrote his number down on her hand just in case it didn’t save on her phone that was upstairs. Alex pressed the area code, hearing a faint noise after she pressed each button. Finally she typed in all of his number and heard it ring. ”It’s ringing,” she said, cupping her hand over the speaker in case Logan picked up at that very moment.
”Logan? It’s me Alexa,” Alexandria said, trying to sound confidant and cool, which she didn’t feel like at the moment. ”Hey sweetie, I was wondering if you’d like to come over to mine, I mean Chance’s house and have pizza with Chance and I,” she paused, waiting for him to reply back. ”He wants to, to uh, talk to you,” she said, finally thinking of how to say it. ”I’d love for you to join us,” she said sweetly into the phone, her nerves going away as she spoke to Logan over the phone. ”You’d come? Great! See you soon, bye,” she smiled before setting the phone back in the receiver. ”He’s coming,” Alex announced to Chance and herself. And the pot began to stir with drama.
ooc. Should me make a new board with Shawnee (Logan,) or stick with this one and have her join?
