Purity

Chapter 7

Grace's POV

"Edward, how do you know where I live?" I asked, swimming towards the pool edge, so my almost naked chest and almost bare legs were out of his sight.

"Did you hear me the first time, Grace? I said, I want to help you answer those questions by takking you out tonight." He said, repeating what he just said, ignoring my previous question completely.

His eyes stared into mine so deeply, and completely that I couldn't do anything but stare back.

He took a step forward from the patio and into the sun, making his hair glisten in the sun.

He crouched down next to where I was holding onto the edge of the pool, and gripped my upper arms in attempt to pull me out of the pool.

He accidentally pulled to hard, that he practically threw me out of the pool, and pulled me into his chest.

We both tumbled backwards so that he was lying beneath me on the patch of grass next to the patio.

I gasped at the feel of his rock hard chest underneath my bare torso, with only his thin gray Lifeguard On Duty shirt between us.

I felt his hands gripping my wait, and I couldn't help but remember my dream the previous night... I shivered above him and I knew, he was smirking, even without seeing his smile.

"Grace, what do you say?" He asked, pulling me even closer to him by my waists.

"I repeat: how did you know where I lived?" I said, trying to keep my voice strong and sure, when all I wanted to do was shrink away in embarrassment but rub myself against him like a cat. I was again shocked at my reaction to him, but couldn't help but want him. To want to want him.

He sighed before finally answering.

"I asked our Boss, where you lived. When he asked why you went home, I told him that you went home and wanted me to meet you so we can train outside of the beach. I covered for you, Grace. I think you owe me somethin' in return for making sure you still had a summer job."He said, keeping his voice low, and private as though what he was saying was meant to be shared solely between us.

"Can you let me go?" I asked, putting my hands on his chest, trying to push away, but he opened his legs making my lower body fall between his legs.

He pushed my waist deeper into his eyes, making me loose focus momentarily.

"Please Grace, one night with me. You can pick when and where,hell I won't even pick you up, we can meet somewhere. Just give me one night to answer your questions, or atleast help you understand." He said, looking up at me with almost pouty eyes. I wanted to laugh at how adorably cute he looked but the grip on my waist, kept me silent.

He sighed when he saw my frustrated, confused, afraid, nervous, wistful expression and he let go of my waist.

I sighed, and quickly pulled away, sitting next to him. I wrapped my arms around my waist, trying to hide myself from him, knowing all to well that he has seen much more that what he was seeing now, and that he was probably eye raping me this moment.

" Please, Grace. I want to know why too. I want to know why... I feel the way I do.... towards you as well." He said, grabbing hold of my hand closest to him. I looked into his begging, now swiped of all arogentness and replaced with vulnerability. I sighed, knowing already that I will probably regret this.

I nodded lightly, sighing.

"Fine, one date, and I choose where and when."

A bright smile lightened his face, a mile so happy made my heart pound 10x faster.

"You won't regret this, I promise." He said, before quickly leaning towards me, kissing my cheek and leaving me there sitting on the grass.

"I'll leave my number on the counter, if I don't get a call by Monday, I start calling the shots." He said over his shoulder before opening my back yard fence door and walking away, down the street and back towards the beach.

I sighed, feeling a million more questions and emotions come welling back up in me.

Back in the pool, I go.
