I just sat down by the pool waiting for Malo and Sasha to be done with whatever they are doing so I can get the fuck home.
The tiles near the water were still wet. Someone must have jumped out of the pool not long ago because droplets were scattered everywhere. My legs nudged the edge of the water and small ripples moved outward.
I watched as everyone was just having fun. The whole place was a bit quiet now. Soft music was playing, and the DJ was snoozing on the ground.
A few people were still in the pool. Not as many as earlier. Someone floated on their back while two others talked near the ladder. Laughter came and went in short bursts.
The lights around the pool flickered gently against the water.
"Hey," the birthday girl's sister came to sit down beside me.
Her voice came out of nowhere and I didn't even bother looking at her immediately.
"What do you want?" I asked, because I don't want to do anything with her.
