Friday. Indoor Pool. Gil POV:
Today's the day. It's the day! The day of my confession. I'm an idiot.
Deema was obviously with me already. Next, were Goby and Oona. Last, were Oona and Nonny.
All of us heard the news of Oona reuniting with her dad. We were all so happy, so this is also kind of a celebration for Oona!
Something was off about Oona and Nonny. They had swim suits that were long sleeved and had long swim leggings. The rest of us wore shorter swim suits. I dunno. Whatever floats their boats I guess!
We had races, contests, and played games of all sorts! It was great to see Oona smile, especially because of all of the harsh past events.
Then, I announced a new contest. The 'who can hold their breath the longest' contest!
We all put on goggles so we see who is cheating and who is not.
We went underwater and I went closer to Molly. Closer. . . Closer. . . When I got close enough, I pressed my lips against hers. Everyone else resurfaced, since the accidentally opened their mouths in shock. After the kiss, I resurfaced with Molly and confessed.
"Molly, I really really like you and, I'd like you to be my girlfriend. So, do you wanna be my girlfriend?" I asked.
Moment of truth. All of the others stared. What if she said said no?
After 5 long seconds, which felt like a year, she gave me my answer.
She kissed me on the cheek.
Nighttime. Nonny POV:
Dang it. Where's the sleeping bag?
"Oona? Do you know where the sleeping bag is?" I asked.
She popped out of the bathroom while still brushing her teeth and simply shrugged.
I could've sworn that it was in the closet.
When she finished brushing her teeth, she asked me, "Where are you gonna sleep tonight?"
I shrugged my shoulders as she climbed into bed.
"Are you comfortable sleeping in the same bed?" she asked.
I stared at her blankly and nodded.
I climbed into the same bed with her. She turned around and faced me for a while. She observed me in such a strange way, as if I were a stranger to her. Then, she simply smiled and turned away to sleep.
What was that all about?
