First, Amelia agreed to join his team, then revealed an absolutely stunning swimsuit that left him speechless. The silence didn't last long before it was punctuated by a cannonball and its accompanying tidal wave that crashed down on Brandon. He looked up just in time to see Rose and her brother had joined the fun. [color=00a99d]"Hey, how's it going?"[/color] he said with a grin, wiping the water from his face. [color=6ecff6]"Who said you could get started without me?"[/color] Brandon cringed as the sickening sound of a full-force belly flop resounded, the water once again splashing over him. He wiped the water away before swimming forward to make sure the blur was okay, but his concern was unfounded. Once he realized it was Anna, he knew she could swim circles around him, even if she were weighed down with a parka. Brandon's grin then faded slightly as he caught sight of Jocelyn's lime green bikini. If a swimsuit was ever designed to turn heads.... Brandon forced himself to look away after a few seconds. He must be one of the luckiest nerds alive to have friends this beau-- That was about the point when Anna began stripping in front of Brandon. For several seconds, his mind went completely blank as he tried to register what was going on. Sure, she had clothing underneath, but even that information took Brandon's brain a bit longer than normal to process. He doubted Anna even noticed him despite his proximity. If she did, she would very likely see the deepening red flush passing over his cheeks. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Brandon's mind finally rebooted itself, allowing him to speak. [color=00a99d]"I uh... I hope you didn't have your phone in there,"[/color] he said quietly. Brilliant opener, Brandon.
