The Lounge's Summer Pool Party

[Britwitch]

There is a cool breeze to help take the edge of the heat and all are welcome at the ocean side spot to mix and mingle and be with one another.

A bar is well stocked, as is the kitchen, and there are changing facilities of a high quality along with accommodation for those that want to stay for a while.
And the pool is open 24 hours a day.

Take a dip in the ocean - the coral in the nearby reef is stunning - or lounge by the pool, the choice is yours.

All the management want is that you relax and enjoy yourself.

After all, it's finally summer!

Bare feet pad across the boards, moving quickly as the wood has gotten quite hot under the glare of the sun, and then there's a splash.

Silence follows for several long moments before the sound of someone breaking the surface of the water with a gasp and a grateful sigh is heard.

The first visitor of the summer season swims to the side of the pool and, hooking her arms over the side, watches the ocean. Finding much needed calm in the movement of the waves. Later she would lay out on a lounger and see what delicious concoctions the young man behind the bar could create for her. But for now all she needed was the sea view and the sun on her freckled shoulders.

"Oh, I have missed this place."

While checking the bars setup I noticed the attractive woman swimming in the pool look at me so i wave back and smiled, not knowing what she was thinking of doing with me.

 

[Wil52973]

Bartending at a place like this was heaven compered to other bars I'd had to work in the past. Drinks wouldnt even be a problem cause they practiaclly had everything and plenty of it!

 

[Britwitch]

As the sun starts to float ever closer to the horizon the time has come to change from a swimming costume into something else. A floral dress reveals her shoulders, already tanned from days spent in the sun, with it's hem fluttering around her knees.

Collecting a sweet strawberry and lime cider from the bar, she makes her way to a sun lounger near the sea and settles down. The ice in her drink tinkling merrily as she sips her drink and then sets it down on a nearby table. A notebook is lifted onto her lap and a pen twirls in her fingers.

Hopefully words will come, and if they don't perhaps company will.

 

[Britwitch]

Keen eyes follow familiar lines and lips instantly curve into a smile. It's always lovely to see her.

 

[Angeleyz]

*makes her way into the area, wearing a pair of jean shorts and and simple fitted tee shirt over her bathing suit*

Hope you don't mind the intrusion... I never made it to last year's festivities and told myself I couldn't miss the fun again this year.

 

[GoAztecs]

walks into the pool area, wearing blue and gray boardshorts, Nike shirt, lowering my sunglasses

Are new visitors welcome? Looks kick a fun and relaxing setting

 

[Britwitch]

Her smile widens to see new faces appearing, notebook being put aside to wave them over.

"Well, hello! Pleasure to have you here. Please, make yourselves comfortable. The bar has just about everything you might want and the pool is divine."

 

[GoAztecs]

smiles at the nice welcoming, grabbing a lounge chair by the pool, enjoying the view

 

[Angeleyz]

*wanders over to the pool, stretching out her foot to test the waters before lowering herself to the very edge*

Thanks... I've gotten tired of talking to myself with most people on various holidays.

*grinning*

However, I'll try not to chatter up too much of a storm ifn you're working on one of your various stories.

 

[Britwitch]

"The words aren't really flowing this evening, sadly for my stories, but it's always great fun to talk to people you don't usually get to spend time with."

Brit sits forwards a little with a grin, picking up her cider and taking a generous mouthful.

"I've been itching to open this place up again for months and with it being Midsummer where I am, today seemed like the perfect day to do it!"

 

[Angeleyz]

*dangling her feet over the edge, tracing random patterns in the water*

I'm sorry to hear that... My problem is there are too many words competing to get out.... They kept stepping on each other so much that my fingers have given up trying to keep up at the moment.

And I think it was a most excellent day to open the pool up... My kids officially started their summer vacation today, which means I get a reprieve from homework too.

 

[GoAztecs]

Would you like me to go grab you a drink Angeleyz from the bar?

 

[Britwitch]

"Ah, summer holidays."

She sighs wistfully.

"I have one more week to go before I get to start my summer break, but it'll be here soon enough and then I plan to do very little besides work on my tan and write. Whenever the mini witches will let me, of course!"

A giggle and another sip of the pink tinged cider is taken.

"I'm hoping to do Camp Nanowrimo again next month and I'm desperately working on my second draft of a novel I wrote at camp last year, while fighting the urge to work on other ones at the same time. My threads here at Lit have taken a bit of a back seat recently but I'm fortunate in that I have some very patient co-writers who understand. What have you been working on? Or maybe that should be, what were you working on?"

Blue eyes pause to smile at the gentleman among them before moving to the other lady at the poolside.

"What about you Vail?"

 

[Angeleyz]

*smiles at the offer*

Thanks, but no, hon... I've nothing in my stomach and alcohol would go straight to my head.

*giggles softly*

And ya'll shouldnt be subjected to a tipsy me...

 

[GoAztecs]

Makes sense Angeleyz. Going to just enjoy the feel of this sun.

 

[Britwitch]

Smiles a little bashfully at Vail but she doesn't look away.

"That's awesome, about the novel. I'm sure it's brilliant! Nano's good for me in that it makes me focus and take time out for myself to write which, with family and work, isn't always the easiest thing to do. Plus doing Camp a few times now and Nano proper twice I have some sizeable projects to play with whenever I get the time."

 

[Angeleyz]

Novels? Both of you...? I'm envious... I struggle to simply get ideas that circle inside my head on 'paper'.

I look forward to hearing the news ya'll have been published so I can say I hung out at the pool with you when they were being written.

 

[LitShark]

Arrives with a full-sized watermelon slung over one broad shoulder and a bottle of top-shelf scotch hanging by the neck in his other hand. Both, set gently on the bar before waving hello to acquaintances old and new. Once he's unburdened, he spreads out a beach towel and pulls off his shirt, sitting down and leaning back on his elbows to join in the recreation.

"Hello everyone. What beautiful weather we're having." Lips smirk, mirrored glasses reflect sunshine.

 

[Britwitch]

"Vail's right. I didn't believe I could do it until I did it. But NaNo was great for giving me the kick I needed. As it were."

The witch grins, letting her eyes wander over Vail's form with very little subtlety before a new arrival steals her focus for the moment and she smiles again.

"And hello there, always a pleasure to see you and you're right. Perfect weather to be by the ocean with friends."

 

[Angeleyz]

*chews on her lip thoughtfully*

Perhaps I'll have to look into it then... Anything is better than beating my head against my desk saying think, think, think...

*smiles at the newest arrival, thinking she might want to get some food in her stomach after all*

Hi... Nice sized watermelon you had there.

 

[LitShark]

Howdy, Shark!

waves

Hi Vail. Thanks for the welcome.

Are we talking projects? Because I've wrapped a few, in the preliminary sense. 80k words does not a novel make, but for an undergrad Sr. Project, I'm happy with how it came out.

Still very much in progress, however... you know, when I get back to it.

The Lit Mag and Poetry Chapbook are as good as they're going to get though.

*Gets up to begin cutting melon*

 

[Britwitch]

Carefully tears a page from her notebook and writes down a website before folding the paper into an aeroplane and letting it glide over to Angel

"Just in case you want to check it out."

Brit winks.

 

[Angeleyz]

*snatches the plane out of the air before it can drop in the pool and peeks at it*

Thankee, lovely lady...

*pulls a rubberband out of her pocket and pulls her hair up into a high bun to get its heavy weight off her neck*
