"Tanya, come in the water! You said you would be in it an hour ago!"
Francine pushed through the waves, returning to shore. She looked over at Tanya, sitting underneath a large beach umbrella. Tanya was wearing her usual black bikini and sipped on some wine.
"I do not feel like it… later." Tanya said.
Francine reached the shoreline and walked over to Tanya. She bent over to meet Tanya's gaze.
"You said you would swim with me after the chores…" Francine climbed on top of Tanya, and she sat on Tanya's lap. "I'm even wearing my bathing suit you like so much."
Tanya placed her cup of wine beside them and examined Francine's bathing suit. Her skin glistened underneath the sun, and the white and peach flower-patterned attire hugged her soft figure.
"Hm… you do look quite nice in your attire. I shall swim with you, darling." Tanya said.
"Yay!" Francine grabbed Tanya and brought Tanya into the water. Francine grabbed Tanya from behind and pulled her close. She rubbed her cheek against Tanya's and smiled.
"Will you go deeper with me this time?" Tanya said.
"I can't swim, remember," Francine said.
Tanya's lips brushed against Francine, her breath ghosting over Francine's ear.
"I will hold you. The last thing I would like to happen is for you to drown."
"Well, ok."
Tanya held Francine's hand as they slowly inched forward. Francine's breathing became labored.
"You are alright. See how far we are from the shore," Tanya said.
Francine looked behind, nodded her head, and looked back at Tanya.
"Can I hold onto you like last time?" Francine said.
"Yes, do what you must to feel comfortable."
Francine wrapped her arms around Tanya's waist as they floated in the water. Francine's breathing slowed to an average speed as she leaned against Tanya's.
"If this were Shang Tsung, he would force me to go even further…" Francine said.
"I would not be surprised. He is… an ass," Tanya smirked at her insult.
"Hm… I want to show you something afterward." Francine said.
After an hour of swimming and splashing in the water, Francine and Tanya snuggled on the beach chair. Tanya's slender fingers gilded through Francine's hair, and she held a yellow pearl in her other hand.
"You like it? I found it the other day when I was out here." Francine said.
"It's beautiful, my favorite color too." Tanya guided Francine's head to look up at her.
"I have a gift for you, too. You will love it."
"What–"
Tanya kissed Francine's cheek, grabbing the back of her head and massaging it. Tanya pulled back and looked up at Francine. Her skinned cheeks looked to be an even deeper shade of red. Francine laid back on top of Tanya.
"I did like that Tanya…"
