Jeffrey interrupts the silence this time, "And what about you Justine? What is it that you intend to do with your life?"
She continues to gaze forward and smiles a little, "Anything I want." She pulls on the reins of her horse and comes to a stop. She jumps off.
Jeffrey turns his horse around and stops, "What are you doing?"
She flashes a smile at him and pulls her sack from the saddle and turns to walk through a clearing in the woods that lines the trail they had been walking along.
She turns around once more to look at him still on his horse watching her, "Well dear Jeffrey, that water," pointing towards the clearing through the woods, "looks much too cool on a hot day like this. I am going for a dip." She smiles and turns back around watching her step as she continues on. "Care to join me?" She calls out.
Jeffrey becomes a little nervous looking back to where the Martin house would be.
"Shouldn't we return? I am sure your father is waiting for me now," he calls back to her. But she has disappeared through the trees already and does not respond. He stretches to stand up in his saddle trying to get a glimpse of where she has gone. He can barely make out the small lagoon that is hidden behind the trees. He decides to jump off the horse and ties it up with Justine's.
He makes his way through the trees, rolling up his too long sleeve. He skids down a small slope before coming to a halt on the edge of the lagoon. He dabs the sweat from his face with his hankie. Justine comes out from behind a tree and dives into the water wearing nothing but her undergarments.
Noticing the white cloth sticking to her ivory skin Jeffrey begins to blush and quickly turns his back to the scene, "I said, don't you think we should be heading back? I am sure you father must be waiting for us by now."
He can hear her body splash against the water and her laughter fills the air around him. He can't help but to catch a glimpse over his shoulder still trying to preserve his gentleman behavior.
The bright blue sky stares down at Justine whose body hovers on the water as she looks back.
Her bright red hair glimmers like a halo surrounding her ivory face.
She finally answers Jeffrey, "Believe me Jeffrey they haven't even realized we have left yet."
Jeffrey is now facing her and cannot turn his eyes away from the view. She is an angel. He does not realize he has stepped forward towards the water and slipping on the dirt almost falls in. Justine giggles at him, "Are you going to get in or just stand there?"
Jeffrey regains his balance and catches himself starring and turns back around, "No, I think I am fine right here."
Justine swims closer to him and splashes some water, "What is it? Are you chicken to come swim around a little pond with me? Or is it that you haven't asked my father for permission yet?"
At that remark Jeffrey turns around and glares at Justine as he begins to unbutton his shirt. He throws it aside and then proceeds to untie his shoes.
Justine just laughs and continues swimming, "I knew that would work."
Jeffrey pulls off his shoes, trying not to fall, and brings his hands to his pants zipper,"Turn around," he demands.
Justine stares up at him, smiling as she swims.
Jeffrey stands there and asks once again, "Seriously, you must. Turn around."
Justine looks at him once more, "You really can't be serious?" she replies.
Her smile fades as she can see from his expression that he is. She giggles at him and turns around. She begins to hum a little tune while Jeffrey sits down in an attempt to now take off his too tight pants.
"Of all the childish things really. Honestly, it is just like wearing a bathing suite." Justine hums her tune and makes remarks about Jeffrey's request. At the sound of his body hitting the water she finally turns around to face him, "Or are there other things you are embarrassed of besides the color of your skimpies?" At that Jeffrey drenches her with a splash of water causing her laughter to fill the air once more.
She swims away and he chases, and while this cat and mouse game continues a faint ringing is heard in the distance. Jeffrey does not notice, but Justine stops swimming around and pulls herself out of the water.
The moment her bottom is viewed through her white undergarments Jeffrey turns around once more, "Where are you going now?"
Justine begins to put back on her garments. He turns to see her as she redress's. Her naked skin can be seen through the soaked garments, revealing her breasts through her blouse. She does not seem embarrassed as Jeffrey watches.
"Well, it seems time does fly when one is easily amused. The dinner bell has rung," she says to him.
Jeffrey swims over the side and pulls himself out of the water. He shyly covers what he can of his lower half and grabs his clothing and hides behind a bush.
Justine giggles and shakes her head at his display.
"Are you admitting you had fun with me?" he calls out as he stumbles to get back on the too tight pants.
"No. It seems I am just easily amused," she answers back with a smile and grabs her sack off the ground and begins her walk back to the horses.
Jeffrey races to catch up.
