Katie floated on her back in the warm water, staring up at the starry night. She closed her eyes as she savored the feeling of being completly weightless in the water. She felt the water move as Zac swam up to her. She waited for him to push her down into the water or something of that nature, but nothing happened. Instead, she felt him lean over her and kiss her stomach softly. She smiled as he moved his mouth up her stomach, then lay another kiss on chest. She kept her eyes closed as he kissed up her neck, then finally reached her mouth, where he took his time.

She wrapped her arms around his neck as he leaned over her. She caressed his lower lip with her tongue, then touched his lightly, teasing slightly.

They broke apart, and he lifted her up to she was standing in front of him, her arms still around his neck. He didn't have to even say anything as tears started to form in her blue eyes.

Zac smiled sadly and wiped one off her cheek. He tilted his head a little, and she stared at his brown eyes. He blinked them, looking at her calmly, and she felt another slide down her cheek.

"I'm gonna miss you." He said softly, still staring into her eyes.

Katie felt more tears make their way down her cheek. "I'm really going to miss you." She said.

Zac wiped more tears away from her face. "Don't cry." he said. "You're making me sad."

"But I am sad." She said. "Six weeks is gonna be a long time without you."

"I know." He said. "But I'll be back before you know it." The next day, Zac was leaving at the crack of dawn for soccer camp, for six weeks. He wouldn't be back until the 2nd week in August, and it was the third week in June.

Katie sighed, and looked at the water below them.

"Something else wrong?" He asked.

"Well...." Katie thought a moment. She didn't want Zac to worry while he was at camp. So, she kept her mouth shut.

"No." She said. "There aren't any girls at this camp, right?" She joked.

Zac laughed. "Nah. You got me on that one."
