Tom swam towards the shallow end of the pool, enjoying the flow of cool water over him.  The fact was, it had been a summer that was hotter than usual, and the cool mountain air was a welcome relief, but nothing compared to the feel of the pool's water over him as he swam.  When he stood in the shallow end, the water came up to his waist, obscuring his suit, which clung to him in the water.<br/><br/>"Hey!"  Tom said, waving to Meredith.  "You're going to love it in here.  It's just the right temperature!"<br/><br/>Tom would've said more, but he watched as Meredith lowered the zipper pull of her one-piece, and that made him gulp.  As one of the two prettiest roommates he could hope to have, Meredith's more exhibitionary attitude about herself had given Tom plenty of cold sweats, forcing him to retire to the privacy of his mind, wishing that he could ask one or the other out on a date.  However, the agreement had always held solid, and he respected it.<br/><br/>"You going to swim with me?"  He asked the ladies, holding his arms out wide to invite them both in.
