Hi people (and or pineapples)! How's life? Thank for reviewing and reading the previous chapters! I haven't updated in two or so weeks, but I remembered I have extra chapters typed for when this happens. See, I do take care of you (sorta)!
This one is for OUAT Fluffer!
I hope you like this one! and sorry for any and all typos!
Mina's POV
I grab my towel from my locker and walk out of the locker room with Nan at my side. Apparently she thought Teague's trying to woo me deserved to be in her full attention, so she decided to switch around her classes so she has the majority of them with us. I have to admit, she's dedicated to seeing this all fold out. There's no doubt about that.
Just as we get out in the gym, coach ushers us all out to the pool and picks a few people to do laps. Nan makes comments about how hot Brody Carmichael and T.J look doing their laps so quickly while Nix makes faces at everything she says. I look in the water and check out who all are in the water. When I don't see a certain brunette, I get a bit worried.
It's not like I want to see him right now, but I just don't want him to appear out of now—
"Thinkin' about me, Mina?"
"Ahhh~!"
I jump sky high from on my seat on the benches. So high, in fact, that Teague has time to catch me bridal style. He chuckles at my reaction and shakes his head.
"I'm assuming you were thinking about me by your reaction."
"I-I was not!"
"Your blush tells me otherwise," he smiles.
"I'm not blushing," I lie, "my face is just flushed because I'm so annoyed by you popping up out of nowhere all the time!"
"That still counts as thinking of me," he replies.
"But that's after the fact," I rebuke.
"Don't stress about it, Mina, I'm fine with it. Besides, I think it's cute for you to be thinking about me with such an adorable blush on your face."
"What?! It does not—"
Before I can finish my sentence, Teague gives me a lingering kiss on the cheek, making my blush darken. "You look cute when you blush, end of story."
"W-Whatever," I say, summoning my evilest glare possible, "just put me down already. People will start to stare." To my credit, people were staring, some with burning envy. I'm not the type to really notice who is in the spotlights, but I'm pretty sure it's me right now.
"Let me down now," I squirm, trying get out of his grasp.
Teague draws me even closer—if actually possible—to his chest and brings his lips to my temple. "Let them stare if they want," he murmurs against my skin. "They deserve to see a princess beginning her happily ever after."
Girls gush at his words, guys glare, and Nix growls at his choice of words. All the attention suddenly becomes too much and heat spreads like wildfire through my body. I whisper for him to let me down and this time, finally noticing my discomfort, Teague rests me down on the bench. As soon as I am seated back down the world started spinning again and everyone continued with their respected assignments.
"I'm sorry," he says after a few moments of silence. "I know you hate attention." When I don't say anything he gives my hand a reassuring squeeze, "I'll find a way to make it up to you, ok?"
I open my mouth to say something, but coach's voice hollers over my own. "FAEN, you're up for laps now, flirting with your girlfriend can wait until some other time!"
I feel Teague stand up and I can hear his light footsteps fading away from me. The tinge of warmth from his touch lingers on my skin…and it doesn't feel dirty as I thought it would. I allow myself to look over at Teague to catch him glancing at me too. I send him a meek smile and he reciprocates the action, but with something breath-taking happening following soon after.
My eyes widen and my heart skips a beat, though not for obvious reasons. His eyes, usually a vibrant, electric blue, flickered a beautiful gray for a second.
"Mina," Nix says from beside me, "you ok?"
"I don't know," I whisper under my breath.
"Something's sparking in her head right now," Nan said, for once ignoring a chance to make a romance joke. "I don't know what's going on, but a revelation is on its way."
"I don't know why," I loop my hair behind my ear, "but I know something's started right now."
"How do you know that?" Nan asks, "is it just a feeling or are you just quoting the Little Mermaid?"
"It's not a matter of how I know, but how it's happening," I mumble, almost to myself.
So how was that? I hope you liked it!I was planning to update sometime later this week, but OUAT Fluffer made me want to update because a very pleasant PM.
