Chapter 71
We walk straight to the pool and find Blake by the pool with his legs dipped in the water. He's already changed into swim shorts. A glass of orange juice is by his side and a plate with sandwiches.
"What took you so long? I thought you bailed out," he complains.
"Girl talk," I say, sitting next to him, my feet hitting the water clumsily. The water feels warm. Carla seats on a chaise lounge and takes a bite of her sandwich.
"Girl talk huh? Were you talking about me?" he questions.
I laugh.
"No. But we would have if we had the time." I grab a sandwich and some juice from a tray behind us and start munching on the sandwich immediately.
"This is so good, Blake," I say, chewing away.
"You like it?" he asks.
"I love it!" I say.
Once we're done Blake and I jump into the water, Carla hesitates.
"I'm not that good at swimming," she claims.
"I'm not that good either, just get in and feel the water, like me. I do that alot, trust me," I say.
I've never learned how to swim. Roxy once tried teaching me how to swim but it didn't turn out great. I swallowed some water and stopped trying to learn. So these days, at a pool, all I do is sit at the edge and feel the water with my legs or, I get in the water and stand there like an idiot.
"Err, I'll just sit and watch." She tries to turn back but Blake gets out of the water, grabs her waist, lifts her and then dives in with her.
Carla screams before they hit the water and they splash water all over me.
Seconds later they come up to the surface. Carla is panting for some air and Blake laughs while swimming away.
"See, it wasn't that bad," I lie.
"God! That was terrifying, Blake. I thought I was gonna die!" Carla says, wiping water off her face with her hands.
"Carla, Carla. You know I'd never let anything happen to you. Relax and have fun in the water," Blake says and moves next to me. His arms wrap around me and I love the feeling.
Before I know it, he's taking me with him under water. My eyes are wide open and all I can see is water and Carla's legs.
Blake kisses me on the lips and pulls me up.
I gasp for air, rubbing my eyes.
"Blake! What was that for?" I swat his arm.
"Ow!" he whines. "Well you're the only one who's hair wasn't wet." He chuckles.
When I turn around, water hits my face. Carla does it again on me and Blake, splashing water on us and I do the same as I laugh.
Blake splashes a huge amount of water on Carla and I, then swims away.
"Catch me if you can!" he says, swimming across the massive pool.
"Oh you... You... Urgh! You're lucky we don't know how to swim!" Carla says while rolling her eyes and I laugh.
"I think I'll take another sandwich," she says and gets out of the pool.
"Lame excuse, Carla!" Blake shouts from the other end of the pool. "Don't even think about leaving the water, Kyrah. I'm watching you." He winks at me and disappears into the water for quite an alarming time and I look around desperately. Waiting to see him resurface.
"Why isn't he coming up?" Carla pauses and stares at the water. My heart starts thumping loudly as I look around the pool again.
"Blake!" I call out but I can't see him. I take a deep breath and dip myself into the water with my eyes closed. I find it hard to open them and I go back up struggling abit. When I turn around he still isn't there.
"Boo!"
I squeak.
"Fuck! You scared me. Don't ever do that!" I scold him as I wipe water off my face with my hands.
He smirks. "Sorry baby."
I move closer to him and he kisses my forehead.
"Alright, I'll leave you two love birds alone. Let me find something to do," Carla says and walks away.
"Another excuse!" Blake yells and she shakes her head as she ties a white towel around her body and walks away.
He then looks at me and I can swear his entire body goes hard. His eyes have this burning desire in them and he doesn't hesitate to make a move.
He kisses my lips and caresses my body, I hold on to him, arms across his neck. We kiss for a couple of minutes and I look into his eyes again. He's asking me for something and whatever it is, I nod my head and we leave the pool.
***
After our little fun session in his bedroom, I feel alive. I'd really missed him. The whole of him.
Hours pass as we watch movies and around 8PM, Carla calls us to go eat right after a movie we were watching ends.
"I didn't want to interrupt your movie night so I waited till it was over. I made some baked potatoes, chicken stew and rice," she humbly says.
"You'll love her potatoes, they're very tastey," Blake says as he grabs a plate.
When I get to have a bite of the food, I can literally taste every spice in the potatoes and the chicken.
"Yum! It's delicious. Thank you, Carla. I can eat this same meal all year," I yell her.
She laughs and we continue eating in silence.
After our meal, Blake and I watch another movie till 11PM. When it ends, I check the time.
"I guess it's time for me to go," I say, leaning into his chest and his arm goes tightly around me.
"I won't beg you to stay because I know how your mom would react, let me take you home." He gets up and I follow him to the door which he opens for me.
We walk to where his car in parked outside at his huge parking lot and I can't believe what I see in front of me.
"What are you doing here?" Blake hisses as he moves forward swiftly and I follow behind him.
"The lovely couple, aw! So cute how you two hang out together," Sabrina says leaning on her car.
I roll my eyes, crossing my arms in front of me.
"I'd have gotten inside earlier but Carla wouldn't let me. Seems like she didn't tell you I'm around. Here I am!" Sabrina states, straightening her brown fur coat.
"Leave! And I am not going to repeat myself," Blake booms moving forward but I stop him.
"I'll handle this," I say and move to Sabrina, she's tall due to her high heels but I don't care. I move so close that I can feel her breath on my face when she talks.
"Very brave huh? I like that–"
Smack! Smack!
Her eyes go wide in disbelief. She holds on to her cheeks and her eyes go watery.
"That's what you get for being an annoying asshole. Let's go, Blake," I say walking past Sabrina to Blake's car.
When we're inside I try not to grin but Blake's comment makes me do it.
"Way to go Kyrah. That was intense! You slapped her twice! My baby is hardcore!" he says.
"It's not the first time I've done it," I brag and he grins even wider.
He starts the car and we leave Sabrina there, looking like an angry feral cat.
I can't help but feel proud of myself tonight.
