Saved By Him

Chapter 13

"Suits you well if I'm honest" he laughs.

"Hmm. I guess I should live up to it then" I say before I push Vincent into the pool.

Let me rephrase that. Before I attempt to push Vincent in.

Since I'm so unluckly, he quickly regains his balance by holding onto my arms.

"You really have no luck do you" he says as he bursts out laughing.

"Well if you haven't already figured it out, then no, I haven't" I say rolling my eyes but also grinning.

"Well, I do" He says with a mischievous look on his face.

"Shit. Don't you fucking dare Vincent!" I exclaim as my eyes widen.

"I can't swim" I quickly add.

"Sure" he says not convinced.

"I'm serious Vincent" I laugh. This stupid person.

"Your such a liar" he chuckles, before I suddenly feel him gently push me.

My heart drops as I loose my balance, causing me to fall backwards into the water.

Panic, dread and fear all hit me at once as the water drowns me, taking away my oxygen. I feel myself accidently intaking the water, which rushes through me as a burning sensation. How did this once soothing thing become so painful in a second.

I start thashing my arms and legs around, struggling to bring myself back to the surface as they grow tired.

Before I know it, I feel a hand reach out taking hold of my arm, before I am pulled closer to a body.

Hands wrap around my waist, raising my body and head above the water giving me a slight intake of oxygen, whilst I feel myself floating in someone's arms to the edge of the pool.

"Shit. Here give me her arms" I hear Vincent's distant voice, as I'm pulled out of the pool. My lungs burn but I don't stop gasping for oxygen as I'm placed on the floor.

"Breathe Isabella. Breathe" I suddenly hear Valentino whisper, making me surprised. So it was him who saved me.

I continue coughing, whilst I feel him gently rub my back.

After a few minutes of coughing out water, my breathing rate adjusts and I decide to break the awkward silence. "I'm okay".

"Shit Isabella. I'm so sorry I-" Vincent begins as he tries to move closer to me, but is interrupted by Valentino who stands up and harshly shoves him.

"What the fuck is wrong with you? Why didn't you just listen to her?" He shouts with anger. Why was he so angry?

"I thought she was joking around. I really had no idea that she couldn't swim!" Vincent replies ashamed. I start feeling sorry for Vincent as I see his distressed face. I knew very well he had no ill intentions.

"avrebbe potuto morire a causa della tua stupida mossa" Valentino sneers. I don't miss the way his fists clench. (she could have died because of your stupid move).

I suddenly start feeling guilty. I knew Vincent wasn't to blame and I unnecessarily made him get shouted at.

My eyes widen as I watch Valentino take a step forward towards Vincent.

"Valentino! I'm fine honestly, it was just an accident" I quickly yell, although it was only then I realised how croaky my voice must have sounded like.

He turns to look at me, his anger slowly dissipating as his fists unclench. I sigh relieved.

Perhaps I should get out of here before I make matters worse. I begin getting up, although my legs were a bit shaky making me struggle slightly.
