\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Oh, but nooooooo.\u00a0 A very delicious hunk of man was lowering himself into the lane next to us.\u00a0 My initial adrenaline rush turned into a completely different type of rush.\u00a0 I had flinched so I told him I’d thought for a minute he was diving in.\u00a0 He swore he wouldn’t do something like that, it would be rude.\u00a0 I replied, “Rude, nothing, it would be fatal!”\u00a0 (We were in the shallow end.)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 There were several minutes of easy conversation, but I was the one being rude.\u00a0 I was pulling a complete guy.\u00a0 Barely looked into his eyes or face, my gaze was transfixed on his body.\u00a0 You know how guys stare at your chest?\u00a0 Well, I was staring at his chest!\u00a0 It was the closest I’ve ever seen to Bryce.\u00a0 So in between teaching Luke to swim I was able to watch some very nice swimming in the lane next to me.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
