Challenge 34- The Passionate night by the Pool Pt. 2- Bathing & Romance

Katherine felt water swish behind her. She spun around, instantly covering her breasts with her hands at the sight of Marco, who was already in the water. She heard the music and swam toward the tumbling waterfall.

But Marco had already dived underwater. Instantly becoming one with his surroundings, he swam forward with speed (Author's note: No offense intended) that even Michael Phelps could match. Using his weightlessness (For when you're in water, it feels like you're weightless, at least from my perspective) and momentum, he wrapped his arms around Katherine's waist, kissing her underwater.

Katherine winked at him and they burst to the surface, the wall of water facing them as they kissed and embraced. "Surprise." Marco said. Katherine smiled, blushing simultaneously due to her nakedness being visible to him.

Katherine was crying! His eyes lighting up with compassion as well as concern, Marco kissed her passionately. "Don't feel sorrow, my love, feel joy." Marco said, wiping the tears from her face. "I love you so much, Marco Ferrarro." Katherine said, wrapping her arms around Marco's waist.

Marco's jet-black hair, which normally stood straight up, was now a messy mop that covered his neck. "Get ready." Marco said. Katherine looked at him in confusion.

Marco slowly ascended, wrapping his hands around Katherine's waist as they went. Their bodies were dripping wet and Katherine started to shiver. Marco simply smiled and a mysterious aura erupted from his body, drying them and instantly filling Katherine with heat.

Katherine's long hair covered her face, neck, and breasts, while another strand fell to her feet. During the night, the entire room was lit by torches hanging from the walls. Marco and Katherine looked at each other, smiling and kissing with an unconditional and unbreakable love.

(Author's note: You've got to love romance. Not only do Marco and Katherine (whose first and last names are the exact same as the Katherine's I love) love each other, but they do so unconditionally. There is a difference between love and unconditional love. Love comes and it goes; unconditional love is the same thing, only it never ends. I'll try to be brief, but here's the reality about love from a Christian perspective: If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don't love, I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. If I speak God's Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, "Jump," and it jumps, but I don't love, I'm nothing. If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love. (1 Corinthians 13:1-7) The basic reality is that love is not just another emotion or a magic word that instantly = relationship. Love is the key to the Christian life. It's what motivates us to keep going, it's the source of our strength, it's why Jesus died on the cross in the first place; he died our death so that we could live, not because we have anything good to offer him, but because of who he is: he loves us. There is nothing that we can do that can separate us from God's love. If you want to know more about how you can experience this love, message me; if not, that's alright as well. Anyway, till the next chapter, Dragonfist out).
