"Shhh. You will wake everyone up." Demilade said. He was carrying her in his arm in bridal style.

"Demilade... Put me down." Lola said and she tried to release his grip but he wasn't giving in. His arms were very strong. He seemed to be having fun because he didn't bulge despite her complaints and pushes. And he entered the water.

"Common, stop it, Demmy. Don't." She begged but he still drop her inside the water with a smirk on his face.

              She can feel the coldness of the water hit her skin when she was dropped into the water and it sent goose bumps all over her body. The water suddenly felt warm after a while and her brain registered the new temperature.

              She take out her head from the water as quickly as possible and spit out all the water that had entered her mouth due to the way Demilade had suddenly dropped her inside the water. And at the same time, brush away the water on her face with her hands. And she exhaled loudly shaking her head. Her whole body was soaked with water.

              She was more than shocked at the action. She was still about to say he shouldn't dare when he did. Fortunately, he didn't drop her in the deepest part of the water.

            She turned to look for the person who had decided to give her an unwanted baptism. He was staring at her as he leaned on the edge of the pool with a smirk plastered on his face.

"Demilade what is the meaning of this? I told you I can't swim." She complained angrily. She was angry with the way he was just staring at her without remorse. And she felt like slapping the smirk off his face.

            But why did he do it? Was he drunk?

"I just wanted to show you that the water isn't that cold?" He said.

              Actually, he didn't even know why he did it. He doesn't know what came over him. He was sure he wasn't thinking straight. But he has her to blame. She wasn't making him think straight. His head seems to have a thought of his own whenever she is around.

"What?!" Lola exclaimed. "I didn't even ask for that."

            He swam closer to her.

"Well, stop nagging. You are already inside the water." Demilade said looking at her face like something was fascinating on it.

              She suddenly became aware of the proximity. Demilade was standing too close to her. And he wasn't wearing anything. Although she is in her robe but she felt hot from how close he was. Her heart was beating so fast in her chest. Her head seem light and her knee was becoming numb. She forced herself to look away from his chest. His broad perfectly structured chest.

            She forced herself to roll her eyes at him and act like he wasn't affecting her.

"Well... You've satisfied yourself." She said quietly. And he chuckled. She looked at him. And she admired his beautiful face when he is smiling. Something that had become so hard to see recently.

            She swallowed and tried pushing her wet hair away from her face. But he was quick to move his hand. Their hands touched for a split second. She could feel the spark where their hands met. And she slowly places her hand down and lets him do whatever he wants. He stared at her and then he helped her place the hair behind her ears. His fingers lingered there for a while. She was becoming so uncomfortable with his stares. There was something in the way he was looking at her and the way he hand graze her earlobe.

             Her body felt hot, her stomach was churning like thousands of butterflies had been released in it, she felt light passing through her vein and her heart beat frantically in her chest.
