Ch. 2
But the world is full of crazies and fools,
Who don't believe in sensible rules,
And won't believe what sensible people say,
And because these daft and dewey-eyed dopes
Keep building up impossible hopes,
Impossible, things are happening every day.
-Roger and Hemmerstien's Cinderella
"Ah, I think I'll never see,
A sight so lovely as you in a bikini.."
Ami snapped him with a towel playfully.
"Bakan. (Silly) Why don't you go in and swim with me, then?"
Touma grinned from the side of the pool. "Nah, it's alright. I'm not up for getting wet, anyway."
Ami shrugged. "Suit yourself," she said, diving in the deep end. Touma watched her swim gracefully and he smiled.
Honestly, Shin had nothing on this girl. She was as at home in the water as a fish, and as graceful as any dolphin. And when she did surface, it was only for a second, immediately diving underwater again, the water barely having time to actually break.
He grinned. He could watch her swim all day.
Suddenly, he realized he had lost sight of her. Where was she?
He began to panic. What if she had hit her head on the bottom or something? She could be drowning. She could be-
He screamed as Ami popped up in front of him, kissed him and, keeping a firm hold of his neck dragged him into the water. Touma popped up a few seconds later sputtering. He grinned at her.
"Now that wasn't very nice."
Ami grinned and began doing a slow backstroke away from him. "You should've come in when I asked you to, silly."
Touma grinned and began swimming slowly after her, as predatory as a shark. Ami giggled and kicked away from him. He reached out and grabbed one of her legs, pulling her back towards him until he could grab her wrist and pull her face to face with him. He grinned.
"Never tease a Trooper, Ami-ko. It's not very nice."
Ami giggled. "And how am I to be punished?"
Touma leaned in and kissed her, pressing his lips lightly, and then more firmly against hers. Ami moaned softly into his kiss, and deepened it, slipping her tongue into her mouth the moment his lips parted. He slipped his hands around her waist, pulling her even closer to his body. Ami pulled away and smiled.
"That was a good start…"
"Hope I'm not interrupting anything!"
Ami looked up in dismay to see the girl from the day before standing over them in a string bikini smiling down at them. She felt a pressure against her thigh and wondered if Touma was reacting to their kiss or their intruder.
"Um, no, I was just going to the sauna," Ami hoisted herself out of the pool and cast a cold glance over at Touma.
"Feel free to join me anytime, Touma-san."
Touma blinked, then hoisted himself out of the pool as well and hurried past the bewildered Skye.
"Ami-ko, wait! What did I do??"
Skye watched them go and grit her teeth. There had to be some way of getting him alone.
"Ami-ko, I'm here with you, remember?"
"That doesn't mean you don't find her attractive."
Ami turned away from him and Touma quickly turned her back.
"Hey, hey. I love you, remember? That means I'll stay with you and only you. No one else can ever enter into the picture."
Ami looked up at him, touched. "Really?"
"I swear it on my honor."
"Touma-san!!"
Touma turned from his pool game to see Skye bounding up towards him.
"That is your name, right? Touma? That's what your girlfriend called you yesterday."
Touma nodded. "Yeah, my name's Touma. I don't believe I ever caught yours."
"Oh, my name's Skye. I work here."
Touma extended his hand. "Pleasure to meet you."
Skye shook it. "Pleasure's all mine. So, I see you're playing pool." She blushed a bit. "I never was too good at that myself."
Touma chuckled and smiled. "It's not hard. Here, let me show you."
He put the stick in her hand and bent over her, showing her how to hit. She giggled and ground her hips backwards into his. Touma glanced down at her nervously, but proceeded to show her the different angles.
Perfect, she thought. He was right where she wanted him with not another person in sight.
"I have something I need to tell you," she whispered. Touma leaned in close to her face.
"What?"
"I said I have something I need to tell you," she whispered again. She turned and firmly planted her lips on his. Touma startled for a moment but found himself giving in to her and when she stood and wrapped her arms around him, he unconsciously followed suit. Her hands began to travel down his waist into his shorts to stroke the hardening member inside. Touma moaned lightly and Skye grinned.
"Let's see what we can do about this, hmmm?"
She lowered his shorts and knelt down.
She'd been majorly distrustful of him, and she was sorry. But that girl kept popping up, she was giving her the creeps. But that was no reason to blame Touma, she chided herself as she walked up to the billiard room where he said he'd be after he left their room. She smiled. Maybe she'd even let Touma play a little with her that night. But as she rounded the corner and looked into the room, she saw that Skye was already playing with him.
She was kneeling before him, sucking him dry, and Touma, for his part, looked as if he were loving every second of it. Ami's hands shook as she struggled to comprehend what she was seeing. She then blinked a few times, pulled herself straight and turned back the way she came to pack her bags.
