"Hard-Headed. That's what you are." (O/O)(Closed)

Stella lightly blushed and pretended not to notice the scar, "Ready to go?" She mumbled.

"Whenever you are, Ms. Star." he grinned. "I know a bit of Italian."

Stella laughed, "Let's go then!". She took his hand and walked out the door, heading straight to the lake.

"Impaziente, bella stella," he said with a chuckle, picking up his speed to a light jog as she dragged him along.

Stella blushed and brought him to the waters edge where she through off her t-shirt and stood nt very far in the water waiting for him.

Since he didn't need to take anything off, he chose to dive right in, causing a huge splash that caught Stella right in the face.

Stella almost fell over from the splash. She blinked, confused and pushed her wet hair out of her face, "That was… shocking." She said stepping farther into the water.

"And why is that?" he asked, blinking away the water from his own eyes as he followed her.

"I didn't expect you to do that…" Stella murmured walking uo to him in the water, she smirked and pushed him backward.

"WoAH!" he shouted as he fell back into the water, his right arm reaching out just in time to grab her by the wrist and pull her in with him.

Stella gasped and landed on top of him. She sat there a moment shocked, before she started to laugh. She got off of him and pulled him back up into her.

"Molto audace," he said with a goofy grin. "So, are we gonna swim, or was your goal to see me A petto nudo?"

Stella turned red and pushed him back into the water before he could grab her again, "Swim!". She dove underneath the water.

He got back to his feet and dove after her, still grinning even as he was underwater.

Stella swam away from him, her heart beating wildly, she'd never had this much fun before.

(my phone's about to die so I gotta go, bye!)

(Okay, see ya)

(I’m back!)

Being the natural athlete he was, Dirk caught up with her in the blink of an eye, grabbing her by the ankle with a laugh of triumph.

Stella gasped and poked her head out from underwater, laughing as she was pulled towards him.

"You aren't that quick, Ms. Star," he said with a chuckle, treading water because he couldn't touch the bottom of the lake.

“I know…” Stella shrugged, with a laugh. She was treading water as well, it was a little hard because she didn’t swim often.

"Santo cielo, this lake is deep." He looked down at the water, but he wasn't even able to see his feet because of the low light.

“Yeah…it’s hard to swim, I don’t do it often.” Stella replies.

He shrugged. "It's not hard, it just takes practice."

Stella nodded and went back under the dark water.

He chose instead to float on his back, dragging his legs up over the water and sighing, relaxing all of his muscles and letting his bod stretch out all the way to cover as much surface area as he could.

Stella popped back up, little ways away near some water lilies, it was shallower here and Stella could stand in the soft muddy bottom.

"Very peaceful," he said to Stella, closing his eyes and sighing contently.

Stellas eyes flicked over to him, She nodded, "Mhm…"
