Inseparable- Robin Buckley x Reader

Chapter 6- Four guys

"That's uhh, that's a pretty bikini" I end up saying

"Why thank you" she nods before sitting on the edge of the pool, her legs swinging in the water. "Let's have a swim before other people get here". Y/n gets in the water, submerging her whole body then swimming to the diving board, pulling herself up to look at me.

"You coming?" She tugs on my leg.

"Yes" I say, getting into the water, much less gracefully than she did.

Steve runs and jumps in, splashing me and y/n.

"Boys" I roll my eyes, earning a chuckle from y/n. Steve runs his fingers through his hair.

"Ahhh yes, gotta keep that mop of hair perfect at all times, even in the pool, where there are no girls to impress, anywhere". Y/n says sarcastically.

"That is not true. It's a habit, I do it whether the ladies are around or not" Steve defends.

"Are all men so precious with their hair, or is it just you, little Stevie?" I question.

"All guys are, Robin, all guys are" he replies, but it sounds more like he's trying to reassure himself that it's not just him.

Steve gets out of the pool, fixing his hair once more. "Why you leaving us Steve? Can't handle our criticism?" Y/n quips.

"No actually, although you guys were being a bit harsh" he chuckles. "I'm gonna wander around the house, people are gonna start to show up soon."

Steve leaves the backyard, leaving me and y/n alone together.

"Y/n you're getting very good at this 'insulting Steve thing', you know. It's very impressive." I nudge her softly under the water.

"I learn from the best" she smiles.

I chuckle, looking up at the stars and the moon, taking in the serenity of the moment. The warm water covering my lower body, the warm air dancing around my upper body. A slight breeze in the air, blowing my hair around softly. I move my fingers around in the water, listening to the sound it makes, adding to the peaceful ambience. I take a deep breath, consuming the summer air. I feel y/n's presence and realise she's right here, next to me, and I feel my heartbeat speed up. I look at the moon again, it's a full moon tonight. The sky is clear, no clouds to be seen, exposing the entire galaxy above us. I love the moon. It's a soft and gentle glow, one that lights up the space around you, but you can stare right at it and your eyes won't hurt. I feel calm under the watch of the moon.

—Y/n POV—

Robin Buckley looks angelic. All the time, but now even more. The glow of the moon lights up her face, softly illuminating her perfect features. Her caramel blonde hair now a dark brown from the water, slicked back exposing her whole face, her incredibly strong jawline now brought to my attention. The shadows hit her face at all the right angles, enhancing the point of her nose, making her freckles glow even more than usual. Her eyes are a different kind of blue tonight, a light, baby blue. The water droplets on her face look like tiny glowing orbs. Her lips- holy moly her lips- I - god now I can't look away. I shouldn't have looked in the first place. They look so damn soft. I shift my focus by thinking of a question to ask her, not a boring 'what's your favourite colour' kind of question, but one that makes actual conversation.

"You're a night person aren't you?" I ask softly.

Robin takes a second to answer, she's still in her own little world. "How did you know?" She looks at me.

"I can just tell. Your gentle personality, your vibe, the way you were looking up at the sky, with a peaceful and happy look on your face. I just imagine you like the nighttime more, you go to bed late, and like to sleep in, when you don't have an early shift of course. Am... I kind of right?" I watch Robin's expression change from amusement to astonishment.
