I'll look after you
I watch as he swims by, peeking out of the corner of his eyes to check whether I approve of his effort level, his technique. I have trouble regarding him as a boy, I am able to look past his childish face, into his wise eyes, he opens his mouth to speak and I am sure he is going to enlighten me. "I hid Kate's shoe in the boys locker room, but didn't tell her." I laugh and again notice his completely innocent face, the twinkle in his eyes, dying to please me with his ability. I wrinkle my nose at him, he returns the sentiment and giggles youthfully. I catch him eyeing the girls, he looks at me, rolls his eyes, giving me the crazy signal.
