Sydney lay by the pool letting the warmth of the sun soak through her tired and battered body. She relaxed as she listened to the soothing jazz cd that Sam had put on. Rolling over onto her back she winced at the pain from her ribs and wryly thought, 'Moldano may be gone but, he's definitely not forgotten.' Sighing she thought about the past few days and all that had happened. 'I guess if that was the price I had to pay to get Sam back into my life, it was well worth it.' She always smiled now when she thought about the petite blond with green eyes.
Sam silently exited the house with drinks in hand and noticed how relaxed Sydney seemed. Sam couldn't help but wonder what caused the smile on the tall brunette's face. 'It's been a long time since I've seen her so happy. I hope that smile has something to do with me' she thought.' Grinning, Sam couldn't resist the opportunity to sneak up on the sleeping woman. She quietly placed the tray of drinks she was carrying onto the table and grabbed an ice cube. Slowly, she crept up behind the Sydney's lounge chair and dropped the cube down the top of the sleeping woman's bathing suit. As the cold ice met hot skin, Sydney jumped and screamed as she tried to dislodge the offending object. Sam burst into laughter as she backed away from the frantically dancing woman. Finding her efforts futile as the melting ice cube grew smaller and smaller, Sydney looked up at Sam and growled, "Oh, your going to pay for that!"
Sam swallowed hard as every muscle tensed in anticipation of flight upon seeing the dark woman advancing on her. Sam knew that she was no match for those long legs and instead, attempted to talk her way out of the situation. "Now, Sydney, come on...you know I was just trying to help. I didn't want you to get over heated or anything" she mischievously grinned.
"Oh, so you were just being a good little scout and only doing your duty right?" Sydney asked menacingly as she continued to stalk the young woman. Sam knew that she was in big trouble and her only salvation was to put the pool between her and Sydney. Quickly turning, Sam sprinted off and had almost made it to the far end of the pool when she felt hands grab her from behind. Suddenly, the wind was rushing beneath her feet and she was soared over the edge of the pool, splashing down in the middle of the water. Sputtering Sam broke the water's surface and she felt strong arms hold her from going under again. "Are you alright?" she heard and opened her eyes to look directly into two very blue and very concerned eyes. The closeness of those eyes instantly stilled any thoughts of anger as a familiar tingling began in the pit of her stomach. "I'm fine" Sam purred and wrapped her arms and legs around the older woman's body. Sydney quickly adjusted to the extra weight and held young woman as she treaded water to keep them afloat. "Comfortable?" Sydney asked smiling.
"Quite" Sam responded kissing the tip of the other woman's nose. Sydney leaned in and nuzzled the younger woman's neck working her way across to her lips. Moaning, Sam parted her lips and met Sydney exploring mouth. As the kiss deepened the pair slowly slipped beneath the surface of the water. Down under the crystal water there was no sound except for the rapid beating of two hearts. They continued their descent until they reached the bottom of the pool. They remained at the bottom of the pool neither one wanted to be the first to break the kiss. Finally, they were unable to hold their breath any longer and together pushed off the bottom surfaced gasping. "I see you two are still trying to kill each other" called an amused voice from the side of the pool. They looked over and saw a determined redhead with her hands on her hips waiting for an explanation.
"Gwen!" Sam blurted out embarrassed and stuttered, "We were just....well...um. You remember Sydney." Sydney nodded trying hard to keep her face expressionless but, there was no hiding the twinkle in her eye.
"Yes, I do. So, have you two worked things out or is this some mutual drowning ritual?" she asked. Sydney turned her head to hide a smile and Sam smacked her on the shoulder. "Your not helping you know" she whispered as they struggled to untangle themselves and swim to the side of the pool.
