If Only
Chapter 4
"I think you look really..." he took a quick look all around to make sure no one was around to get in the way. He then whispered the last word in her ear, "...hot," and as soon a he said it he could feel his cheeks go up in flames as the biggest and most wonderful smile he had ever seen came across her face. And before he could do or say anything she flung her arms around his neck in a loving embrace. He stood perfectly still for a moment taking in everything and soon wrapped his strong arms around her and pulled her close to him. Without thinking what she may think, he nestled his face in her soft hair. Her heart fluttered and began beating wildly when she felt him nuzzle her neck. She didn't ever want to let go, but slowly they pulled apart and stood timidly in front of each other. He was too happy to blush as he rubbed the back of his neck. She looked over him and merely folded her arms across her chest with a mischievous smile.
"So, hot, huh?" she said as she caught his blush.
"I always thought you were pretty...," he said as he smiled shyly.
"Oh, thanks, Jimmy..." as she unfolded her arms and turned to look out onto the water. "But don't think I will go easy on you," she said and then dived into the cool water. He heart soared as she motioned for him to dive. He glanced down at her and then took his best dive position, with his hands above his head in a v-shape, and puffing out his chest to show her his somewhat muscular torso, he dived into the water beside her. When he resurfaced, he slicked his hair back out of his eyes. Floating in the water, he noticed the look she was giving him.
"What?" he said liking the fact that she was looking at him.
"Nothing... it's just... you look, uh, different with your hair like that..." she gave him a smirk before finishing, "I like it," and as soon as the words came out of her mouth she playfully splashed him. He was taken back by her words for a moment before he splashed her back.
"You think so," he asked with a raised eyebrow. He couldn't believe what she had just said, but it was killing him inside to find out if she really meant it.
"Now your asking me what I think, don't push it, Neutron," she said before splashing him in return.
"I'll take that as a... yes!" and she just merely giggled at his response as his stomach did flips hearing her fluffy laughter. He splashed her one last time before he began floating on his back across the lake, as she swam to a swallower part to collect shells. He drifted away into a daydream while staring into the sky. He could see her beautiful angelic face with the glossy lips he so pined to kiss. He was torn away from his dream by a sweet voice. 'Jimmy' it said. 'Jimmy!' it said a little louder.
"Jimmy!" he could hear her voice echo across the lake. He quickly snapped from his dream, dreading the worst. 'Oh no! Why is she yelling for me? Is she in trouble!' Without thinking he began swimming towards her voice. He hadn't notice how far he had drifted. He could see her and the shore line in the distance. She was floating with only her head and shoulders showing, looking around desperately for him. He didn't see her in any sort of danger, but swam quickly to her nonetheless. As he neared her, relief washed over their faces.
"Are you okay? Why were you shouting for me?" he asked as he swam up to her and floated in front of her. When he looked into her eyes, he thought he saw a tear, but considered it as just water.
"Oh, thank god, your alright!" she breathed in relief. "I didn't want you drifting too far...," she gave him a caring smile. "I was afraid something might happen to you..." then she looked away, "The world needs you," then she looked into his bright blue eyes once again. All he could do was sigh and give her a smile. He slowly swam towards her. She was a little taken back by his action and being so close to her, but she stayed were she was. He swan closer and closer to her until his face was only a few inches from hers. Her heart beat quickened at the thought of what he might do. But as he got closer instead of his lips moving onto hers like she had wished, they moved past her cheek to her ear and he spoke three words.
Whoa, is that a cliffhanger or what? Sorry for the short chapters, more soon!
