Chapter 8: Turning the Tables
They spent all of the fifth day in the pool. As James woke, he stirred Lily, still asleep in his warm arms on the floor.
"Lily, wake up. It's 10:00p.m. Are you getting up now, Lily?"
She smiled into his dreamy brown eyes. "Well, I know one thing that could wake me from slumber!" she whispered and their lips met for 20 seconds.
" I know something else that could help you wake up." He smiled his smile. Lily saw it and she got a little bit scared.
"James? What are you doing? Where are we go-" she trailed off as they passed through the patio, James carrying her in his arms.
"C'mon, James. Not again. Well, you gonna get in too if you decide to wake me by tossing me in the pool first thing in the morning?"
"Mmmm, no, I don't think that I will get in as well, Lily, my dearest."
"WHAT?" but it was too late. She was in. She stood up and got out. James was quite amused. He lifted her and dropped her in again.
This time, however, she didn't rise again. She lie at the bottom of the pool.
"Lily, c'mon. Ha, ha. Laugh, laugh. C'mon, Lily." It didn't make sense though. 40 seconds later, she still didn't come up. James got scared. Maybe she hit her head? Air pockets came to the surface of the, other than that, perfectly still waters.
"Lily? Lily? Lily, don't mess around with me!" He was panicking. "Damn it, Lily! Lily! Oh my God!" He dove in and grabbed her. He brought her to the side and rolled her out. Do like she did, he thought. Breathe, breathe. Pump, 2, 3, 4, 5. Breathe, breathe. Pump, 2, 3, 4, 5. Breathe, breathe. Pump, 2, 3, 4, 5. Why isn't it working?
"Bloody hell! Don't you die on me Lils! You hear me? DON'T YOU DIE ON ME!" Breathe, bre-muach!
"Lily! Oh my God! You did that! You did that on so purpose! Lily! You scared the living daylights outta me! Why did you do that? You scared me half to death! Li-"
"Like you did to me. But to see how much you cared made it worth while as far as I'm concerned. I knew I had to stay longer to scare you though, so, I did my best!"
"Lily-I'm-You-That-Oh, never mind. Just kiss me. And promise you won't scare me like that ever, ever, ever again!" "I won't if you won't!" With that they rolled over each other back into the pool, and had a blast.
