Not very long, still there ;P
Chapter 2 Under the sea.
Swimming?
I asked with unbelief, the whole way?
Why not, he said, I can swim like I'm a fish myself.
But what if you get tired or hurt or something? I squeaked.
We'll be there before that happens, he said with a smile.
We walked silently towards the sea together. Paco directly dived in.
Aka come! He called out.
I walked in with doubt, the water was icecold. Paco grabbed my feet so I fell down.
I spit down a mouthful water.
Prft. Very prft. Funny.
I know right, he said grinning.
He held out his hand and pulled me up.
Still grinning.
Now hold you're hands here, he said placing my hands at his chest.
And wrap your legs around mine, Yes like that! Okay! Let's go then.
I wrapped my arm so tight that I wondered if he could still breath.
Paco could indeed swim just like a fish, his body smoothly slided through the water.
Holding him was an easy task, his body was so warm in the cold water. But I hoped I wasn't too heavy for him.
Hey Aka, he suddenly asked, are you allright?
Uh-huh, I murmled.
I let my head rest on his back and looked down if I could see some fish.
(Paco's POV)
It is hard to ignore a sleeping girl on your back, trust me.
We were swimming for a few hours already. Aka's hands slowly slid of my chest, and I had to hold her up so he wouldn't sink or something. That became a bit heavy after a while.
A big rock stood out of the water, It actually looked more like a small mountain. I swam to it and lifted Aka up on the land. I looked for a way to climb up myself and putted myself right beside her.
I gently took the locks of red hair out of the water, she looked just like a mermaid.
It was getting dark, It would be a good idea spending the night here, wouldn't it?
Aka woke up, she stroke her hair out of her eyes.
Paco, she mumbled, are we there yet?
No not yet, I said, just go back to sleep, okay?
But I can't , she mumbled , the stones are way too hard.
I grinned, come here then, I said, I'll be your pillow.
She shove closer to lie on my shoulder, and she was back asleep in about 3 minutes.
I just couldn't sleep yet. So I played with her hair for a bit, it was long, soft and shiny, and if you twist it around your finger a few times it would become a curl. Then after a while I started to feel tired, let my head rest on the rocks and whispered good night.
