How We Met: The Pool Incident

Calvin moves into a new apartment complex, but one day, one of his friends is involved in an incident at the pool. Can Calvin make it right?

“Wow!” Curtis shouted again.

“Would you quit!” Larry barked at him.

“You should check out the talent down by the pool!” Curtis exclaimed as he was looking out the window of my new apartment.

“It’s a community swimming pool,” I sighed as Marvin and I were playing a video game.

I was throwing a small get-together with burgers, wings, pizza, and beer for the three friends who helped me move.

Curtis was not supposed to be here, but Derek brought him for some reason.

“I know,” Derek saw the look I was giving him. “Calm down, Curtis!”

Curtis was not one of my friends. I only knew him because of Derek.

“What?” Curtis turned to see that he was the only one looking out the top floor of the apartment building, checking out the community swimming pool.

“There are kids down there!” I pointed out. “You’re a fucking creep!”

“I am not checking out the kids! Dumbass!” Curtis fired back. “I am checking out their moms!”

“And that makes it less creepy?” Marvin chimed in.

“The term motherfucker didn’t start out as an insult!” Curtis laughed. “Whoa!” he grinned. “Now those women are more my age group!”

“What, ten?” I joked.

The others laughed.

“No motherfucker, jeez,” Curtis moved away from the window finally. “What’s your problem?”

“I didn’t invite you!” I stared at him. “You are always being the creep, perv or just a huge pain in the ass!”

“Whoa Calvin!” Larry looked at me.

“Well, we all think it,” I brought my attention back to the game. “Just no one says it.”

“Is that what you guys think?” Curtis asked as he took a slice of pizza.

“You could calm it down a little,” Derek said as he looked at his friend.

“A little?” Marvin shook his head. “He was perving the teenagers outside the high school that one time we went to girlfriend’s house!”

“I was not perving!” Curtis tried to explain. “I was making sure no one was coming on to them.”

“You said, quote, ‘That one has a huge rack bet she gets all the boys.’ I remember you saying that!’ I looked at him.

“Yeah, it made Staci and her mom very uncomfortable,” Marvin looked over at Curtis.

“I didn’t mean it in a perv way, just a statement, the girl had a huge rack for being in high school!” Curtis shrugged.
