I blushed harder. "You... you think I'm beautiful?"

"I'd be crazy not to."

"Well thank you. You're very handsome yourself." Incredibly sexy, holy hell are you hot.

I grinned at her "Thanks. Enjoying your summer so far?"

"I am. Better than I ever have. It's lovely out here. I feel so free. Definitely not something I'm used to."

"So you're new around here?" I asked and walked closer to her "I knew I hadn't seen you before."

I smiled. "Yeah I'm new. Fairly new anyway. We haven't been here that long."

"You seemed to be enjoying it so far, I'm glad."

I smiled. "I love it out here. How long have you been here?"

"As long as I can remember, I was brought here as a kid and I don't remember much else."

"You're lucky. There's a lot about that place I... I wish I didn't remember."

"Don't think about it...you're too pretty to worry about past troubles. The here and now is what matters."

I smiled. "That's what I'm trying to focus on. So tell me about you."

"I'm just me, this is it." I said, chuckling "Really, there isn't much to tell." I said studying her features "Are you part native?" I asked "Your bone structure is different."

I smiled. "Yes, my mother is Native American."

"So, is Winter your whole name or just part of it?"

"Just part of it. My full first name is Winter Dawn."

"Winter Dawn." I said the name to myself "Your parents named you perfectly."

"You think so? Why is that?" I asked, smiling when he moved even closer to me.

"It's going back to the fact that you're beautiful." I said and looked towards the stream "If you walk a little farther north there's a swimming hole and waterfall, that's where I was going. First hot day of summer, figured I'd cool off. Want to come?"

"That sounds great actually. I was thinking it was getting a little warm out here," I said, biting my lip a little. "Lead the way."

"Alright, let's go." I said and lead her up the stream until we made it to the location I was looking for "Here it is."

"It's beautiful. Race you in there," I said with a smirk and pulled my dress off, taking off for the water and jumping in.

I laughed and took my shirt and pants off, leaving me in my shorts. I went over to the edge and jumped in, splashing her in the process.

I laughed and splashed him back, then dipped under the water, smoothing my hair back as I came back up. I smirked at him then spit water at him before swimming away. "Catch me if you can," I teased.
