Not the Exception

Chapter 10

Of course I didn't watch the movie. I was feeling awful. Brison had the perfect chance to kiss me and didn't. I knew he didn't like me. Now I'm stuck here until all these movies are over. In the midst of my panic Brison looked over and said "I'm sorry about that. I just got carried away." I was afraid to say anything, I knew that if I did I would let out a tear. After I regained control of my emotions and knew  could speak I said in a quivery voice, " It's alright, I guess I did too.." Brison just looked at me with a pained expression, he just kept staring at me.. I stared back with a dissapointed smile. After th emovie was over he asked if I wanted to take a walk. I knew what was coming, and I was ready. We walked out onto his back patio where the pool is located. The asphalt was so cold on my bare feet that I chill went righ tthrough me. Brison saw that and said "Do you need one of my hoodies?" "No, I'll be fine." I didn't want his hoodie, or his scent, or the comfort that wearing his jackets always brought me. I was fine. We walked over to the pool, and just stared into the clear water. After a few minutes I could feel the tension getting higher, and a wicked little smile developed on Brisons perfect mouth. He we go. He wrapped his arms around me and prepared to toss me into the pool, but I had my arms around him as well. Before he could catch himself we were both falling into the deepest section of his freezing pool. The water hurt my warm body I screamed under the water with a huge smile on my face and Brison was still holding me and laughing at my reaction. I just held onto him trying to steal as much body heat from him as I could. We swam to the surface while still holding each other. The air was warm and comforting to me compared to the cold water, I let go of Brison reluctantly and held the edge of the pool for support. Brison lifted himself onto the ledge and held out his hands lifting me out of the pool effortlessly.
