Digging Deeper

*Cassidy's POV*

That split second of fear and the pulsing of exhilaration throughout your body. The feeling of weightlessness adding to the explosions of adrenaline. That one moment when it's like your flying. That moment where nothing can stop you.

A scream rips from my throat as we descend into the warm water. I look around underwater holding my breath. The water ripples around me sending off flickers of light reflections in the lake. After a moment so extreme how can everything feel so calm? I feel a tug on my hand as I am pulled to the surface.

We both erupt from the water gasping for air to fill our deprived lungs. After I feel like I am breathing normally again I start to laugh at how afraid I was. Carter gives me a smile, he seemed happy and that made me happy. We swam to the shallower area near the shore of the lake.

The water was at my hips while it was at Carter thighs. I looked down at the second shirt that was now see through and clung to my body like a second skin. A sudden realization hit me that he knew the white shirt would become see through.

"You gave me this shirt so you could see through it!!!" I yelled at him as he scanned over my body. What a pervert.

"No I actually didn't plan that." He said laughing. "But I can't say I'm complaining." He said with a smirk.
He was sooo dead.
I used all my force to push him over, which made a large splash. I was prepared to push him underwater the moment his head popped out of the water, but that moment never came. I felt hands grab at me feet and pull me down make me flail back into the water. I kicked at the hands to release me from their strong grip. As I freed my self the devil who pulled me down proceeded to try and grab my body. I fought him off as the need for air increased.

We shot up to the surface, but he still hadn't released me from his death hold. I breathed deeply trying to get rid of the burning sensation in my lungs. Carter was doing the same as he looked down at me. I looked up into his beautiful eyes. His hair was wet and flat. Water dripped down his body. My hands were pressed against his toned chest. I began to become fluster from the intimate situation.

He continued to stare down at me and I stared back. I flicked my eyes to the bruise along his jaw. I lightly picked my hand up and caressed the little bump there that had formed. I then proceed to let my hands glide down his jaw and over his soft lips.

I wasn't thinking, I wasn't thinking at all. My hand continued to caress his perfect lips and the craving to kiss them became stronger. 'I can't do this.' I thought. Carter pulled away and released me from his grasp, before I could even think to. The feeling of emptiness filled me as he walked towards shore.

I was lost in my thoughts as I followed him slowly. What was I just about to do? I kept telling myself I was going to pull away, but I knew deep down I would have kissed him.

Carter sat on a large rock and I sat on a smaller one next to it. I pulled the wet shirt away from my body so I wouldn't feel so exposed. I looked out at the lake utterly confused. We sat in silence for a while letting the peacefulness settle over us.

"You can trust me," He said quietly. "We just proved that."

"No don't do this," as I knew where this conversation was going.

"Cassidy you need tell someone what your hiding. It's eating away at you and I can't stand to watch you self destruct any longer." He said softly.

Silence spread over us as a lump in my throat grew. "Where do I start." I whispered.
