☼ it's an 'everyone is going' type of affair; someone you know's grand-someone's house on the lake, who really knows. but the property has been in their family and you are close enough to the host you're invited for the weekend. and ellie is gonna be there.
☼ ellie is walking around with cutoffs and a cut-up old tshirt over her bathing suit which is fulfilling all your butch dreams of her. she pushes all her hair back and puts her hat on backwards and she looks like a fratboy in the worst/best way. it's turning you on and pissing you off
☼ you shed your shirt and dive right into the lake to force yourself to not think about what her walking around with her jean shorts unbuttoned was doing to you, but miss ellie staring at you when you strip and how you look when you come out of the water
☼ ellie and jesse are doing crazy flips off the top of the boathouse, and you and everyone else are enjoying watching both the fails and successes. her backflips are hot.
☼ there's 1 jetski that people are taking turns on and it looks so fun when jesse takes dina out and they are jumping boat wakes but also soooo scary. ellie asks if you want to take the next turn and you say no because you're too scared to drive. "I'll take you out, if you want me to. I won't go crazy, promise." ;)
☼ from the second ellie hits the gas for the first time you have a deathgrip on her. she's laughing and you're screaming when she turns to chase a wave, clutching the straps of her vest for your life. "ellie, please, don't fling me off!" "I'm not going to!" she tells you to move your body with hers, but when the wake still sends you airborne you bury your head into the nape of ellie's neck. water sprays up on you both and ellie is laughing again over your screeches as she guns the engine again
☼ after the fifth or sixth time you're starting to get the hang of it, and you loosen your grip on the strap's of ellie's vest, your hands cramping. ellie shows some mercy and instead flies around the lake across the still parts of the water so you can take in the sights "you ok?" she asks over the roar of the wind. you say yes but as you head back to the dock she starts reaching back to put a hand on your knee to steady you on the turns... SCREAM
☼ watching ellie get in and out of the lake is a religious experience. water dripping down her tattoo, her stomach, the way she flips her wet hair out of her eyes
☼ when the evening comes and its time to crash in bed, you and ellie realize you've both put your stuff in the same room with the queen bed... so you have to share :P luckily ellie sleeps like the dead so she doesn't notice you're up for hours, unable to sleep
☼ in the morning you cook breakfast for everyone—eggs, bacon, and hash browns in a skillet. ellie devours a plate and a half before coming to her her senses and thanking you profusely for the meal
☼ people are sharing a wake and bake joint, and there's something cute about ellie still in her pajamas giggling and shoveling toast with jam into her hungry mouth. you wanna brush the crumbs off her bottom lip so bad!!
☼ you spend the day following your whims; swimming, playing mario kart or watching movies inside, or just lounging on the dock and talking while dipping your toes in the shallows. basically 24/7 Chilling with Ellie and you find yourselves spending more time alone together...
☼ turns out ellie knows how to grill. which is crazy. you sit with her and drink for an hour watching her make ribs, which are so delicious you want to kiss her. you tell her this jokingly but you're making such serious eye contact while you lick the sauce off your fingers and she is staring so hard
☼ one day ellie doesn't put on enough sunscreen like an idiot so she gets all pink :')) it'll turn into freckles later, but for now she's slathered herself in aloe with Regret. she's sprawled on your shared bed in the early evening, skimpy shorts and top trying to be brave about it but failing super hard
☼ you are a very kind friend so you help her reapply it. no other reasons. just out of kindness. friendliness. super friendly.
☼ swimming at night instead, out of the heat of the sun. there's music on the speaker on the dock and the dark water is inviting in it's own mysterious way.
☼ being close to ellie in the water, looking at the moonlight reflecting off the water and her wet hair... URGH. smoking together in the water, trying to keep the joint dry which is really silly and way too much work. the water being cool at night, and ellie pulling you in close when you say you're getting cold
☼ laying together on a towel on the roof to look a the stars together, ellie pointing out constellations and planets. you keep thinking you're finding shooting stars. "look at that one!" "...that's also a plane." "fuck! what about that one, it's moving fast!" "hm... UFO."
☼ making a bonfire and sitting next to ellie while she sings and plays guitar for everyone. you two are the last ones to sleep that night because you want to keep listening and ellie wants to keep playing for you.
☼ sneaking down to the dock again to night swim by yourselves, ellie holding you close in the shallows and kissing you under the moon... YEA!!!!!
