Unspoken Love
Chapter 10
A Step Forward
Note: Sorry about not letting you guys know, but I'm changing the schedule update for this story. This upcoming year, I'll be quite busy on Sundays so Mondays will be a better day for this story. Anyway, I hope you enjoy.
"Yeah, Blake's parents had these tickets to the water park and I really wanted you to join us."
"Really? Who's going?"
"Well, they had 6 tickets so it'll be the usual group with Penny and Blake."
"Blake? I don't know…"
"I know, there was nothing I could do since her parents were the ones who had the tickets. I couldn't just take them without inviting their daughter with us. Please come, I promise to keep that secret about your sister from her." It took her second to respond back.
"I guess I could go, but I gotta warn you, I'm really bad at swimming."
"Haha, it's all good. I'll teach you. There's nothing to worry about."
"Okay. Then I'll see you tomorrow."
"Okay, bye." Weiss hung up the phone and fell back onto the ground.
Hopefully, tomorrow will be fun. I mean, I'll finally get to spend time with Ruby ever since I did all of that stuff with Blake. I never realized how much time I spent doing those things with her. But thank God it's all over. I can finally relax and see Ruby in her bikini. Out of nowhere, she screeched out loud and got on her feet.
"It can still happen! I might be able to see Ruby's bikini slip. That fatal accident that will bring closer together." Weiss fell onto her butt and started to drool. As she did, a few chuckles came out. She got up, walked over to her bed, and tried to fall asleep, still thinking about Ruby and how she might be able to see the thing she's been longing for, for so long.
When the next day came around, the 6 of them made it into the park, but Weiss was kind of quiet. They all walked in a line with Ruby on one side of the line and Weiss on the other side with Blake right next to her. Weiss sighed. This wasn't what she wanted, but it just had to happen. Blake was the only person she really knew in this group so it made her want to be close to Weiss.
"Um, Weiss, I'm not a very good swimmer so would you mind teaching me how?" Weiss sighed. This kind of thing would happen to her. She was being pulled further and further away from Ruby now.
"Uh, of course. You can count on me." Out of nowhere, Penny ran out in front of the group with a big smile on her face.
"Alright, let's have some fun today." As she stood there alone, she inspected the other girls and came up with a solution. She grabbed Neo and Blake and pulled them over to her side. "I just got the best idea ever. Short person group and tall person group." Short people were her, Neo, and Blake. Tall people were Weiss, Ruby, and Cinder. "Now, let's start our day of fun." She grabbed their wrists and pulled them into the park against their will.
"Wait, what?! I'm taller than both of you. Why am I not in the tall person group?"
"Don't question my logic, let's just have some fun." The other three watched them run off with Penny.
Thank you Penny. Weiss retreated to her mind and remembered that she asked her to get Blake away from her for the day. Penny accepted without question and now, everything was going according to plan. She bowed to Penny, even though she already left.
"Um, Weiss, what are you doing?" Weiss opened her eyes wide.
"Ahaha, nothing Ruby. Don't worry about it. Anyway, let's follow Penny's example and have some fun." The three of them decided to head to the café area before they started. They got to the park pretty late so they wanted some things to snack on so they could get through the day. Ruby and Cinder took a seat while Weiss went to get their drinks and stuff.
As she did, her mind continued to race. She was thinking about all of the special things she and Ruby were going to do for the day. They would sun bathe together, swim together, and do other things that she was too embarrassed to even think about. After a few minutes, she finally brought back the drinks, but when she returned to the table, she saw the other girls surrounded by these creeps.
"Hey baby, you wanna spend the day with us?" Cinder wasn't fazed by the guys' request, but Ruby was a little nervous about it. Out of nowhere, Weiss broke through the crowd of boys and shoved all of their faces out of the way.
"Leave or you'll end up like this drink." With the strength of her hand, she crushed the can into little bitty pieces. The guys immediately grew scared and ran off without another word.
"Jeez Weiss, you can be so manly at times."
"Oh haha, sorry about that. I can't help it sometimes." Ruby and Weiss looked at each other with such cute looks while Cinder was sitting in between them, completely silent.
"How about we head to the pool area?" Ruby and Weiss nodded their heads and followed Cinder to the main pool.
Meanwhile, Penny and the other two were having a hell of a time. They went on huge waterslides that nearly killed them. They also went on huge rollercoasters that nearly made them nauseous from walking. As all this happened, Penny was completely fine with it. On the other hand, Neo was complaining that she wanted to go back to Cinder and Blake wasn't used to doing such physical things in a succession. The two of them tried to get away, but Penny was persistent and didn't let them out of her sight.
Back with the other group, Cinder was working the high dive. Ruby and Weiss had no idea she was so talented. Even the other people at the park who were watching her were completely in awe.
"Wow, Cinder, I had no idea what you were so talented in water sports."
"Yeah, I spent some time training so it's like second nature to me now."
"Well, I kind of don't feel right about teaching Ruby how to swim when we have an expert in our midst."
"Haha, don't mind me. Just do what you were going to do." Weiss quickly pulled Ruby into the pool. As she expected, Ruby clung to her as tight as possible as Weiss pulled her deeper and deeper into the pool.
"W-Weiss, don't let go, okay."
"Don't worry, I'm never letting go." Just then, a tiny smile emerged from Ruby's face. When Weiss saw this, she nearly fainted. That smile was so perfect that she could barely contain it. She took a huge gulp in and began to teach her the basics of swimming.
After a few minutes went by, the other group found their way back to the main pool. Penny did everything in her power to stop the two from getting away, but they were just too persistent against her. When they got back, Neo jumped into Cinder's arms and Penny rested on a chair. The day, for her, was long and tiring. On the other hand, Blake walked towards the pool and saw Ruby and Weiss having a great time. They were hand-in-hand as Weiss thought her how to swim. As she watched them, a look of sadness fell upon her face. She couldn't believe it. She simply found a chair next to Penny and waited for the day to be over.
Once the swimming lesson was over, everyone else made their way back to the tables where they were reunited once again.
"Hey Blake, did you have a good time." She didn't really respond. She just nodded her head while keeping her head facing the ground. "Oh yeah, Blake, I promised that I would teach you how to swim so let's get to that right now." Weiss stuck her hand to her, but she didn't take it.
"Don't worry about it."
"Huh?"
"I was just lying about not being able to swim. I can totally swim so you don't need to worry about it."
After a few hours, the sun started to set and the park started to close. The 6 of them packed their things and got on the train and returned home. When they boarded the train, Ruby, Weiss, Neo, and Penny immediately fell asleep. The train was really crowd so they were spread out from each other. However, Blake, Cinder, and Neo were sitting right across from Ruby and Weiss. Blake looked at them with such jealousy. She sighed and Cinder took notice.
"You know, love works in many different ways. Sometimes it works to our favors and sometimes, it goes down a path that we are not fully aware of. It takes time to realize the truth behind what we truly desire." Blake looked at Cinder who was cradling Neo on her shoulder as she slept peacefully.
"That was very poetic of you, Cinder."
"Thank you. That means a lot coming from the person with true talent in this kind of field." Blake smiled and Cinder returned the favor. After a few minutes, she looked back at Ruby and Weiss. The two of them were both sleeping with Ruby leaning against Weiss' shoulder.
"It's quite funny, isn't it? They both have feelings for each other, but they just don't know it yet."
"When do you think that'll happen?"
"I don't know, but it does happen. Things will definitely change."
