Queen

Do what you want, Princess.

I had to hold back a moan at those five simple words. I wanted to do a lot to him at this moment and none of them were slow at all. I bit my lip to stop smiling and I looked up at him.

"Do you have water?" I asked.

"Yes," he said as he walked to the large blanketed area. I looked at the comfortable place he set up and I imagined how he and I could be in it if I just stopped being so stubborn. I wanted to...more than anything, but my mind was being a bitch.

"I have strawberry lemonade as well if you want that instead," he said as he looked in the cooler.

I gasped and I almost let myself drop to my knees but I put my fist against my forehead and closed my eyes. "Wow, you just-...wow."

I heard him laugh softly and he came to me and passed me the drink. "Thank you."

"I'm going to get in the water," he said. I nodded and he took a step away from me and began getting undressed. I sipped on the cold and sweet drink and eyed his body as he took off his clothes. I looked up at the starry night sky to try to distract myself, but I couldn't.

He folded his clothes neatly as he stood in front of me in black swim trunks and I hid my smile behind the bottle. Why am I so nervous? Butterflies were coursing throughout my body and I felt like this was my first time being alone with a boy.

He set his clothes aside and winked at me before walking to the water and jumping in. His head resurfaced a few moments later and he ran his hands through his dark hair as he looked at me. Somehow in the colorful water, his eyes shined brighter than they usually did.

"Come in," he said.

"Syn, what if there are sharks and shit?"

"Are you serious?" He laughed. "First of all, it's impossible for sharks to be in lakes. Secondly, I made it so that there are no creatures in here."

"No fish?" I asked.

"No fish."

"So this is like a colorful pool in a forest?"

"You could say that," he laughed.

His promise assuaged my worries and I set my drink and flowers down. I lifted the hem of the see-through dress above my head and walked to the edge of the water.

"Run and jump," Syn said with a grin as he swam a short distance away from me.

"What if I drown?" I whined.

"You're not going to drown when I'm right here," he said.

"Okay, okay," I whispered. I walked backward a few feet and ran towards the water but stopped when I was at the edge and screamed. "I can't!"

"You can do it."

"Okay, alright I'll try again," I whispered as I walked back. This time I couldn't even gather up the strength to run and I stood in my spot and did a tiny run in place.

Sum laughed in the water and I shook my head at him. "This is so scary."

"Would it be easier for you to jump off the rope?" He said as he pointed to a rope hanging from a large tree a few meters away from me.

"How do I do that?"

"I'll show you," he said. He got out of the water and walked past me to the wooden walkway above the water. I followed behind him and eyed the large and sturdy tree hanging over the water that held the rope.
