"Where are you taking me?" I asked dragging my voice. "My escape, where I go to blow off some steam you know." He responded. "It's not far from here so don't worry, I just thought I'd share it with you." 
                          
We headed to the car, I waited as he opened the door for me and led me into the seat with the swinging of his arm, "Gentleman." I smirked. "Just for you." He replied. The drive took about 15 minutes before we arrived at a forest like area. The trees were dark and green and they layered over each other blocking out the sun. Only small sun rays seeped through spaces between the trees"Follow my lead." He instructed. I nodded my head, "There's no way I'm getting lost here." He laughed, "I know this place like the back of my hand and plus you're with me."He smirked. "Oh I didn't know you were superman." I said sarcasm lacing through my voice.  "Yeah look at my muscles." He flexed, my eyes popped but not literally. He had nice toned arms that were sculptured properly ," Uh I'm looking at flabby skin right now." I joked. "Wow flabby is a nice word choice for a nerd." He retorted. "Hey!" I swatted his hard chest. "I'm playing." He laughed. 
                          
"So you think you're funny now, comedian." I rolled my eyes. 
                          
Henry nodded, but slowly his eyes lit up as we arrived near a lake, "Here it is, the Lagoon of thoughts." He spread his arms out wide with a smile stretched across his face. "Lagoon of thoughts?" I raised an eyebrow. "That's what I named it." He blushed in embarrassment. "I like it." I shrugged. Henry took of his shoes and lay on the grass dipping his toes into the water. "Is the water cold?" I asked. "Nope." Henry replied. I took of my shoes and dipped my toes into the water and jumped back, "It's freezing you liar!" I squealed.  Henry burst out laughing, he seemed genuinely happy, "I would murder you, but you look too happy." I replied. "You make me smile all the time," Henry smiled before standing up heading towards the water. "Uh don't you dar-" He flinged some water towards my face, "You are really going to get it now!" I stood up and tried to push him in the water but it really backfired, like really bad. He grabbed me pulling me into the freezing cold water with him, I screamed as I fell. It felt like slow motion as Henry held me by my waist and all of a sudden we were in the water. "I hate you so much." I said treading water to stay up, he was lucky I could swim. "My clothes are wet. Oh no my hair! My hair!" I cried. Henry chuckled. "Take off your clothes." He said throwing off his shirt. "My wha?" I exclaimed with sass. "Your clothes will weigh you down." He told me. "I know that smarty pants."  I took off my shirt and threw it and it landed right on his. I then struggled to take of my leggings. Henry smirked and helped me, I shuddered as his fingers traced over my thigh, "Are you okay?" He asked. "Y-yeah." I said nervously. "Are you sure, did I touch you wrong?" Henry seemed really concerned. He knew how I was about being touched, but he was one of the only people I would allow to touch me in certain places.
                          
"No, Henry it's fine. Help me take them off." I smiled, I loved his concern over me. His fingers reconnected with my skin the sparks came back again. He slid them down slowly, it felt very seductive but that's all in my little mind. He finally got them off and tossed them as well. I don't believe I'm in a small lake with Henry, my roommate. We held hands and swam around a little. Telling each other secrets, trusting each other. I really liked Henry. At this point all my cares and worries were gone, no wonder Henry comes here. I knew we'd come here regularly now. 
                          
The sky grew darker, "We need start heading out." Henry pulled me closer to him, "But I could stay here forever." I rested my head on his bare chest" He hugged me, our wet bodies close to each other, "Could you back up a little." He said awkwardly. I smirked as I looked down at his pants. Well he was excited. "Don't look down, what do you expect? You're half naked and your body is touching mine." He blushed swimming out grabbing his jeans and covering his crotch with it. I giggled swimming to the edge of the river. Henry held out his hands for me I reached out and grabbed it as he pulled me out. "Nice panties." He smirked looking at my lacey underwear. "Perv, first you get a boner and now you are staring at my underwear." I joked. He laughed pushing back his wet hair. "You're sexy, let's not lie about that." He complemented me. 
                          
"Well I can't say the same about you." I bantered. "Really now?" He grabbed me and raised me above the ground throwing me over his shoulders, fireman style. "Put me down, I bite." I screamed laughing at the same time. "Until I get a confession. Henry is sexy. That's what I want to hear." He said in serious tone. I giggled, "Henry ain't sexy." He put me down and tickled me, my knees almost gave out with the amount of laughing. "Hen, stop stop!" I laughed. "You're sexy, there I said it" He stopped and then smirked, " I've been told." He smiled proudly. "But it's better coming from you." 
                          
"Wait how are we gonna go back on campus with wet clothes?!" I realised.
