Snippet #2492887

Jessica instantly saw that Darrin wasn’t interested with Anna, seeing the tight smile he gave her; for some odd reason, she felt relief spread throughout her chest. This confused Jessica and caused her to grow quiet, Anna talking away to her about something or another.
“Are you even listening?” Anna said when Judith picked out an area for the group.
“Huh? Oh, yeah… I think it’s a great idea.” This caused Anna to scuff, putting her hands on her hips, jingling the golden jewelry that hung from her yellow bikini.
“You aren’t listening, Jess.” Anna said, putting down her purse and ruffling her curly hair before sighing, watching Ian go off with Judith and the children. “Never mind about that,” Anna looked at Jessica in curiosity. “Aren’t you going swimming?” She asked, pointing at Jess’ baby dress. “I hope you packed yourself that sexy red bikini I got for you.” Anna leaned in closer to Jessica, whispering loud enough for Darrin. “I got that bikini for you to show off your newly earned body.” Anna sang, causing Jess to lightly shy away in a laugh.

“Anyways,” She turned around, walking towards the group already playing in it. “I hope you wear it and get some time in the water!” She waved her hand in the air before running up behind Ian, Nichola, Taylor and Judith, picking up Ian and throwing him into the water, the child laughing crazily as the other kids also wanted to be thrown.
Jessica turned on her heels, looking over at Darrin who sat in the chair before she made her way over towards him, sitting next to him. She looked at him for a little while before reaching over and ruffling his hair and squeezing his cheeks. “I still can’t believe you died your hair red.” She said, a smile forming on her face.
She looked at him a while before she scooted the chair closer to him. “Are you going to go swimming?” Jessica tried small talk with him, trying to ease up his tension; it was her fault, so she thought maybe having a little fun and acting normal will help him. She picked up a sunscreen bottle, and looked at him, her brown eyes staring right into him. “If you’d like, I can put sunscreen on you so you don’t burn.” She gave him a sheepish grin.
“If not, why don’t you put some sunscreen on me?” Jess said, turning towards him and taking off her dress, finally revealing her bathing suit.

“Are you freaking kidding me?!” Anna yelled over towards Jess when she saw what Jess was wearing. It caused Jess to slightly go pink at Anna’s scolding. Instead of a sexy, red bikini, Jessica sported a black, monotone one piece that covered every inch of her upper body- minus her arms. She even wore black shorts that stopped at her mid-thigh. “I spent a whopping fifty bucks on that bikini and you come here dressed like a nun!?” It was obvious that Anna was a bit angry that Jess hadn’t worn the bathing suit Anna planned her to.
Before Anna could say more, or even come up and have Jess pay her back, Ian threw a bucket of water on Anna, having the force of small children tackle her to play with her. Anna, already preoccupied dropped the entire thing, playing with the kids once more. Jess turned back to Darrin, smiling awkwardly as she held onto the bottle.
