Second chapter! This one is a bit longer, whooo! I am improving! Thanks for reading chapter one and enjoy chapter two!


Let's go? To what exactly? In front of me I see a big ass swimming pool. Oh dear good Lord, what did I do?! I scowl to myself.
Although I'm wearing swimwear (it is almost a fashionable must here in Australia), I hate swimming. Even worse, I can't swim at all. I never had any class and I never tried to do it. I'm more of an inside girl, watching Netflix on my own or just reading. The only times I go out is when Liz is forcing me to go. It mostly ends up with me being wasted and her being passed out.

Rin pulls me with him and I run after him, my flipflops clacking on the ground. He lets go of me and while running he takes off his shirt and his pants - HOW DID HE DO THAT?! - and I now have full sight on his amazing, crazy sexy body. Oh.. Damn.

He dives into the pool and shakes his head to get his hair into the right model again. "Why won't you come into the water? I thought you loved swimming!" Rin leans on the edge of the swimming pool, his head resting on his arms and the rest of his body still in the water. I had already taken off my shirt, but I'm keeping my shorts on. I try to make up an excuse.
"I-I do, I just.. Am.. On my period?" My cheeks are firing up again and I smile as truthfully as possible.
The handsome swimmer looks at me with confused eyes. ".. Period? What does that mean?"
Is he bloody serious here? I look down at my lower parts, hoping for him that he gets the hint. Unfortunately, as he still looks confused, he does not get it. "Never mind." I look away and Rin shrugs his broad shoulders.

"WAIT! Watch out for that girl!" A loud voice behind me reaches my ears, but before I can realise what happens, I feel a bump against my back and I slip, still trying to regain my balance, but I fail and I fall into the water.
Panick overflows me and I try to reach my fingers to the surface, but I'm sinking deeper and deeper into the water. No, no, shit! Rin, help me please! My inside voice screams, no sound leaving my mouth. I move my arms and legs, but nothing helps, I am not going up! Help!
Rin.. Please save me...

As I'm feeling my consciousness fading away, something grabs my hand and my waist. A rush of sounds reaches my ears and within a second the cold air meets my skin.

Before I know it, I'm laying on the floor and I can only see the insides of my eyeslids. Vaguely I hear someone calling my name. It sounds duff and I have difficulties to respond.
"... Can you hear me? Shit.. Please answer me!"

I barf up a puddle of water and I'm back to my senses.
"Thank God! You got me worried shitless!" A warm and strong body embraces me tightly. I can feel his heartbeat and I melt right under him.
"I'm so s-sorry.. Rin.." I feel like crying and I feel so ashamed of what happened. At the same time, I feel scared and shocked and happy I am still alive. The embrace tightens and I can't help but to wrap my arms around his torso. My breath is still shocking and I can feel my tears rolling down my cheeks. This is why I hate water, this is why I hate swimming, I am so glad he saved me.

At the end of the day, after I got warmed and dried up, we grabbed something small to eat and at the moment we're just eating in silence. It has been silent since the accident. Rin hasn't said a word and the atmosphere is extremely awkward. What is going through his mind now? Isn't there anything, ANYTHING, he wants to say?
I sigh and stare at the ground. I don't even know what's going on in my mind right now. Have I fallen for this red-haired guy with shark teeth? His drop-dead gorgeous, that is clear. And his personality is so outstanding. I have never experienced someone as enthusiastic, but also as serious as him.
Geez, keep your head together. He just swiped you off your feet. Don't go crazy now. He just saved your life and that's why your feeling are so strong towards him. My inside voice tells me. I still feel so ashamed that this happened. This is the first date and I'm already being a dramaqueen. He must be mad or disappointed. I'm sure that this will be the end of the date. I can imagine he would not want to see me a next time. Oh geez, why am I so good at screwing up shit?

"Why didn't you tell me?" His low and deep voice suddenly breaks the ice. I swallow. I get so nauseous and nervous for these kind of confronting conversations. I wish I could escape. I feel like barfing again.
"I didn't dare to. It's embarrassing." I say softly after a small moment of silence. I feel two strong hands grabbing my shoulders once again, and I turned to face him.
"You could've died! If my response wasn't this quick, you wouldn't even be able to sit here!" Rin's worried face makes me feel even more guilty. I don't even know what to say anymore, I feel so fucking terrible. Again, tears are rolling down my cheeks and even though I want them to stop, I can't seem to tell my brain to make it stop.
The young swimmer lets go of my shoulders and leans forward, stroking my underlip with his thumb. He looks into my eyes and I feel captivated by his gaze. The blood in my veins rush faster and my heart nearly beats out of my chest. Could I possibly be... Falling in love with him?

"I don't want you to die.. I couldn't bear that. I would go crazy." His now soft and low voice creates goosebumps on my skin. He leans in even more. Our noses touch and I feel his body warmth and breath on my lips. Our eyes are locked and I seem unable to breathe. Kiss me, kiss me... My inside voice begs him. Could he possibly be falling in love with me as well?
The thumb leaves my lip and travels further to my chin. I close my eyes and feel that I'm pulled forward towards his lips.

Where are they? I open my eyes and see that Rin has backed off. His eyes seem sad and guilty. He lets go of me entirely and backs off even more. What happened? Does my breath smell? Did I do something wrong? As if he could read my thoughts, he responds: "I'm sorry. I can't do it."
I look at him, confused, desperate. He continues.
"If I kiss you now, I won't be able to stop. You're so pretty and I don't want to hurt you. I don't want you to think that you're a one-night-stand. I don't think that if I'd kiss you know, I'd be able to hold back." The red-haired male swallows and stands up, seemingly taking his leave. I'm not letting this happen.
"I don't care!" I blurt out. Wow, bold move if I have to say so myself. Liz would be proud. Rin raises his eyebrows in disbelief.
"I don't care if you won't be able to stop yourself. I won't think badly of you. I feel the same way." I now say in a softer tone.

A smile forms on Rin's face and his body language just yells out satisfaction. "Fine.." He leans forward and strokes my lip with his thumb again. "I'll take you to places of pleasure where you've never been before."
