Pleeease?!


I've been begging Chris to go swimming with me at the pool in our complex but he absolutely would not because: 1) he hates swimming with "strangers" around, 2) he hates the sun unless it's in Hawaii, and 3) he hates putting on sunscreen. Party pooper! I've been swimming at the pool for a couple weeks now with Sarah, Jessyka and Kristina. It can get pretty busy on the weekends, but it's pretty empty during the week. As far as apartment complex pools go, this one's THE BEST! It's huge, has lots of tables, chairs and umbrellas around and it's clean!

So, like usual, yesterday afternoon I start my whining.
Me: Pleeease? Can we go swimming?
Chris (in an equally whiny voice): Noooooo!
Me: Why nooooottt?
Chris: You know why not!

Okay. Fine.

THEN...I got the brilliant idea to ask him at night time! Around 9:45, I commence with the whining again.
Me: Can we go swimming nooow?!
Chris (after a very long pause): ...now...?
Me: YES! NOW!

At this point, I can almost see the gears in his head turning. He's thinking: 1) there's probably no one at the pool now, 2) there's no sun out, and 3) I don't need to wear sunscreen!

Lastly I hear him say "Interesting..." and I take that as a yes and quickly put on my swim suit. Seven minutes later we're at the pool with only one guy at the jacuzzi. Actually, he's not in the jacuzzi, just reading next to it. As we walk into the pool area, he closes up his book and walks out. Pool and jacuzzi all to ourselves!

We swim swim swim for about an hour alternating jumping in the pool and jacuzzi and then walk back home. While walking home, I casually say, "good idea, huh?" and he looks at me, smiles and says "a surprisingly GREAT idea!"
