WINEFEST, AT THE LAKE [OPEN]

[willcabot]

Bare feet padded down the small jetty, clothes abandoned in his wake as he stripped down. Discarding the Breitling watch onto the wooden boards, he grinned as he dropped the final piece of clothing between him and the water onto the short pier before diving straight into the deep, cool, lake waters. Swimming deep down into the darker waters, Will swam down brushing his finger tips along the lake bed before swimming slowly up. There were some advantages to a Siren ancestry, the attraction to the water and his speed in the water was definitely one of them.

Swimming to one of the buoys, far beneath the surface, Will swam the length and bredth of the lake before he reappeared at one of the floating platforms. Swimming slower, deliberately slowly, Will looked like any other morning swimmer. Emerging from the water, he slicked his hair back before grabbing onto the edge of the pier. Muscles straining as he pulled himself up on to the board, grabbing his towel he wrapped it round his waist before grinning as he realised he had himself an audience.

"Morning," Will began, grinning as he mock saluted them. "Nothing better for a hangover than a morning dip, don't you think?"

"I'm going to get you for this!" She tells him in between bouts of laughter, as he swings her back and forth before tossing her into the water. She goes under with all the grace of a stone, but, having had swimming lessons since she could walk, easily maneuvers herself so that she gets a good look at Will from underneath the water. She waits a good few seconds before she springs out of the water, using her momentum to splash as much water as she can directly at her friend with a cackle.

Will laughs as June emerges from the water to splash it up at him. Tugging at the knot at his waist, he raised an eyebrow at her before indicating with his fingertips for her to turn round. Dropping the towel he took a running jump into the water showering her with water. And probably giving June more of a look of his body then she probably realised. He wasn't a fan if bathing suits after all.

"What was that- I thought I heard someone vowing revenge. " Will teased, a smug smile lingering on his lips.

[lituplikeaghost]

June gives him an exaggerated pout before she finally turns around, treading water as she waits for him to make his grand, splashy entrance. She lets out a shriek as his jump sprays her with water, turning around just as he emerges from the water.

"You did, and it was me," she says, laughing at the expression on her face.

[willcabot]

Laughing at the way June let out a shriek, Will grinned wickedly at her as she turns to look at him. It was a good thing the water was quite so dark otherwise he'd probably scar the young Thornton for life. Still, there was always time for that later.

"I'm shivering in anticipation, what will it be... the dreaded dunk? Stealing my clothes, because I think that would only embarrass my mother." Will asked, swimming in a lazy circle around June.

[lituplikeaghost]

June raises an eyebrow at Will, like she's supposed to be scared of his naked body? Like she hasn't seen men naked before, growing up as she did with four men in the house, some of whom could be rather lazy in the morning in regards to wearing pajamas at all.

"Stealing your clothes? This isn't summer camp," she laughs, a teasing glint to her eyes. "I'm working on it, but trust me when I say, revenge is coming."

[willcabot]

Will raised his eyebrow right back at the young Thornton, a wicked smile lingering on his lips as he ghosted past her. His fingertips brushing against the base of her spine quickly and fleetingly- a light tease.

"I will look forward to it," he replied. The teasing glint making him smile even more. "Or look forward to your attempt at getting revenge on me. It might be interesting to see what you come up with."

[lituplikeaghost]

June flushes a bit when she feels his hand briefly graze her back, though she maintains the haughty look of satisfaction upon her face as Will passes her by. He certainly does know how to keep her on her toes, she'll give him that. She just needs something to keep him on his.

"You say that now," she smirks at him. "But wait until I like, ruin your car or something." Not that she would ever cause destruction to anything of his property, but she does like potentially making Will sweat.

[willcabot]

"Which one? I do have more than one you know," Will replied with an easy going grin. His cars, well he liked them and they were useful but it wasn't like he didn't have another money to buy another but his boat? His boat was sacred ground. Custom built and beautiful. "You should do the rolls, no wait that's father's. The Senator might not appreciate that."

[lituplikeaghost]

"Maybe I'll strike double, then," she drawls with a lazy grin. "Or triple, if the mood strikes just right. But I would never touch the Senator's car, no way. Demetri would kill me in my sleep before your father could," she laughs, shaking her head. "Not that I would actually ever do property damage. But there's always room for surprises."
