Chapter 57!
A/N I apologize for this being a day late.
Um, before I start, I think there's a few things I should say.
1. I'm going to take a short break, due to the holidays this coming weekend. If you don't celebrate Christmas, then I hope you all had/will have a good holiday. I'll be back sometime next week.
2. The last time I updated this story, I got the most hits for this story, in one day. Thank you all so much!
3. This is probably my biggest and most important. I need to know where you guys want this story to go. I made a poll on profile and need to know what you guys want. I can continue the story, end the story in a few more Chapters, or make a continuation story, except with a new title for college and such.
Please let me know, because I want you, the readers, to be satisfied when the story eventually ends.
Thanks and Happy Holidays!
It was almost 2 months later and Yusei and Akiza were visiting the hospital. It was expected to be Akiza's final check-up.
"Well," the doctor started, "It appears that Akiza's leg is just about fully healed."
Akiza and Yusei smiled at one another.
"I guess you can try to start walking again," he said.
"Is there anything we should do to help her?" Yusei asked.
"Well, if you could get to some type of swimming pool, I think that would be best."
"Why's that?" Akiza asked.
"It'll help you if you try walking in water first, because it has low impact on your legs," the doctor replied.
"Well, that's good," Yusei said, "Because I don't want to see you in a lot of pain."
"Is there a swimming pool nearby?" the doctor asked, "I haven't looked it up."
"There might be a hotel we can call," Yusei said, "I'm sure on a weekday, that we don't have school, they'll probably be empty."
"That sounds great," the doctor said, "But remember: take it slow."
Akiza and Yusei nodded.
That night, Akiza and Yusei told the twins and Martha the good news.
"That's great," Leo said, "Can I keep the cast?"
"Sure Leo," Akiza said with a smile, "We're going to call a hotel and see if they can let us use it."
"Will they allow that?" Martha asked.
"They should," Yusei replied, "After all, it'll only be for an hour or so. I'll call right now."
He goes to the phone and starts to dial a number he had written down.
Earlier in the day, Akiza and him had found a local hotel number.
"Well, you'll need a swimsuit," Martha said, "Yusei already has one. Go to the store. Get a swimsuit and I'll get a way to pay for it."
"But Martha..." Akiza pleaded.
"No, "But Martha" me," she replied, "If this helps you recover better, than I want to help you."
Akiza sighed.
"Thanks Martha."
Yusei came over.
"A hotel in town, called the "Homestyle Inn" said that we could use their pool tomorrow afternoon. There shouldn't be any people, because most people staying are on a business trip."
Akiza smiled.
"Well, Martha wants us to go in the morning, to the mall, and get me a swimsuit."
Yusei smiled.
"Okay, that sounds like a plan."
Akiza and him nodded.
"So, Akiza, are you going to have to lean on Yusei tomorrow? Just like you have when you didn't use your crutches?" Leo asked.
"Yeah. So?"
"Well, if your in a pool, it'll get kind of slippery."
"We'll manage," Yusei said.
The next morning, Yusei drove Akiza to the mall.
"I'll stay in the car," he said, "I'm not a big shopper."
Akiza frowned.
"But Yusei, how will I know if a swimsuit looks good on me?"
Yusei smiled and put his arm around her..
"It's fine," he said, "You're a smart girl. Just know that if you're comfortable in it, that's all that matters."
Akiza smiled.
"Thanks Yusei."
She got out of the car.
"You always know just what to say."
She shut the door and headed for the mall.
Yusei smiled and leaned back on his seat.
Just as Yusei was going to fall asleep, he heard a knock on his window.
Akiza had a bag and he unlocked the doors.
He looked at his watch.
"That was fast," he said.
"Well, I didn't want to keep you waiting," Akiza said, "I know how you get cranky when you have to wait."
Yusei started the car.
"I don't get cranky," he said.
"What about the time we were waiting at guest services a few weeks ago?"
_Flashback_
Yusei and Akiza are waiting in line at guest services.
They had a cooking utensil that wasn't working right.
Yusei starts wiggle back and forth.
"Yusei, what's wrong?" Akiza asked.
"I really have to go to the bathroom," he said.
"Just go," she replied.
"No! I can hold it. I just need these other people to hurry up."
Akiza gives him a concerned look, but didn't say anything more.
5 minutes later...
Akiza and Yusei are still in line, except Yusei's now taking in deep breaths.
Some people start to look at him.
"Yusei, it sounds like you're giving child birth," Akiza said.
"I sort of am," he said.
Finally, they get up to the guest services.
"This...ugh...spatula's head...uh...doesn't...uh...stay on," Yusei said.
"Okay," the woman said.
She hits a few buttons.
"Oh man! This computer's been in the toilet all day."
"Ugh!" Yusei said, "Please just go as fast...as you can."
The cash register opens.
"I'll just give you the cash back and they'll put this in the items that are dumped."
"Oh good grief," Yusei said in pain.
She hands Akiza the money.
"Thank you," Yusei said and runs to the bathroom.
_End Flashback_
"How was I cranky?" Yusei said, "I had to go to the bathroom."
"Yeah, but you begged her and the other people to hurry up."
Yusei frowned.
"Don't worry," Akiza said.
Yusei smiled as they got in the hotel's parking lot.
When he parked the car, he went to the other side and helped Akiza get on her crutches.
They then went inside and Yusei talked to the woman at the front desk.
Yusei then met Akiza by the swimming pool door.
"Okay," he said, "Everything's good. Lets go in."
They go in and Yusei helps Akiza get into the ladies room.
He then heads for the men's room.
Akiza had gotten a two-piece, black swimsuit.
She then leaned on a gray bar, on the wall on the bathroom, until she reached the door.
She managed to open it and found Yusei standing right outside.
He stood in his black swim trunks.
"You ready?" he asked.
Akiza nodded, but was also very nervous.
Yusei stepped inside the bathroom.
Akiza one arm around his muscular upper body.
She rubbed her hand in a circle.
"He claims that he's not strong, but he sure does feel strong," she thought, "I can feel his muscles sticking out of his chest."
Yusei felt Akiza's hand.
He knew what she was thinking and was a little embarrassed.
Akiza put her other hand at her side and they made their way to the pool.
They made their way down the steps and into the shallow end.
"Okay," Yusei said, "Lets try to walk, slowly, to the deep end."
Akiza nodded.
Yusei held her arm and, for the first time in weeks, she tried to move her right leg.
After her first step, Akiza winced in pain.
"Are you all right?" Yusei asked as he turned quickly in front of her.
"I'm okay," she said.
Yusei stepped back, but still held onto her arm.
They slowly made their way to the deep end, until they were up to Akiza's neck in water.
"Lets head back the other way," Akiza said.
They did and this time, Akiza did it with a little more ease.
Yusei continued to hold her arm.
As Akiza got in less deep water, he was now noticing just how beautiful she really was.
"Man, she sure looks cute in that swimsuit," he thought, "And the water dripping down her skin's making her even more beautiful."
Yusei was turning red.
"It sure has been a long time since I've seen her like this."
Unknown to Yusei, Akiza was doing a similar thing to him.
"Him in that swimsuit makes me appreciate just how handsome he really is," she thought.
Akiza's face also turned red.
"It sure has been a long time since I've seen him in that little bit of clothing."
When Akiza got to the shallow end, they decided to let her try walking by herself.
She was able to go down to the deep end and back.
"I want to go to the deep end and back one more time," she said.
"Okay," Yusei said.
She got down to the deep end without a problem.
As she came back, however, she was a few feet from Yusei, when she slipped and fell forward.
Yusei caught her just before she feel face first into the water.
Akiza leaned back up.
"You know, it's hard to hold onto to you when you're skin's so slippery," he said.
Akiza wrapped her arms around him in a hug and smiled.
"You know, it's hard to hug you when you're skin's so slippery," Akiza said.
They giggled.
Akiza and Yusei started to lean into one another.
They started to kiss.
Suddenly, they hear someone grumble.
They turn to a man in a blue, loose outfit.
He had a cart with pool supplies on it.
"You know, we do have rooms if you want one," he said.
Akiza and Yusei stand upright.
"Oh no! It's fine! We don't need one!" they said.
They quickly got out of the pool.
Yusei held onto Akiza, as she headed for the bathroom, just to be safe.
The pool manager shook his head.
"Kids," he said.
When Yusei and Akiza got to the car, they both sat for a moment in silence.
"Hey Yusei," Akiza said.
"Yeah?"
"You're pretty cute when you were all wet and in that swimsuit."
Yusei blushed.
"Same to you," he replied.
Akiza smiled.
"Lets go home," he said.
When they got home, Martha was waiting for them.
"So how did it go," she asked.
"Fine," they replied, "Nothing much happened."
"Oh! Something did happen," Martha said.
"What makes you say that?" Yusei asked.
"I'm not dumb," Martha said, "I was young too you know. You probably saw each other in a swimsuit, got wet, and kissed, because you were so turned on by the other."
"How did you know?" Akiza said.
Martha smiled and walked away.
Akiza turned to Yusei.
"How does she know about that?"
Yusei shrugged.
"Maybe she did it too."
"With a secret boyfriend?"
"Maybe. Martha's never told any of us about one though."
Akiza and Yusei were curious to what was really was going on.
A/N: Again, I'm sorry this Chapter's late. I won't be able to update until next week.
