Violet-Chapter-Thirteen

14th July 2006

Violet grinned happily as she laid down on her sunbathing chair watching as Nicholas took laps in the water in front of her. She usually would have chosen to join him having been on a swimming team since she was young and having loved that sport for as long as she could remember but she chose to relax for a while. She closed her eyes leaning back with a soft smile on her face, she was aware of the people around her looking at her and Nick every once in a while but she was grateful no made a move to take a picture.

Suddenly Violet couldn't feel the heat of the sun on her skin anymore. She shuddered when cold drops of water made contact with her skin. She opened her eyes to look up at Nick who used her unawareness to climb on top of her on the chair, Violet couldn't help but giggle when she saw his pouting face.

"What is it, darling?" She asked softly placing her hand on his cheek rubbing it softly. She was a little surprised how Nick was planking over her so easily and without a little bit of shaking, it must be from the military training.

"I miss you and want you to come to join me in the water" Nick answered giving her his baby eyes. Violet smiled softly pulling his face down placing a soft peck on his lips causing a small smile to take over the pout.

"How about you sunbathe with me for a bit and then we can go into the water" Violet suggested with a fake baby voice. Nick raised his eyebrows at her tone which she only shrugged at, Nicholas stood up making her assume that he was about to do as told only to be shocked as he hoisted her up and walked over to the pool.

"Nicholas I swear to god if you drop me I will rain hell upon you" Violet shrieked holding onto his neck tightly. Nicholas couldn't help but burst out laughing knowing she could barely hurt a fly.

"Then I won't," Nick said giving her hope that he will place her down so she could go back to sunbathing but Nicholas instead jumped into the water with her in his arms. Violet took a huge gasp of air when she resurfaced with a glare on her face as Nicholas couldn't help but laugh.

"That was mean" Violet pouted moving her arms and legs to keep afloat. She could hear some people chuckle behind her at the scene but didn't turn around to see who.

"Is my darling cold? Come here" Nick joked seeing how she shivered every few seconds till not used to the water's temperature. He wrapped one of his arms around her waist bringing her closer to his chest while his legs and free arm worked harder to keep him afloat. He leaned against the wall where he found a small bump in the wall to help support whoever stood on it which he used to his advantage so he could free his arms to hold her.

"You couldn't have waited a bit?" Violet asked wrapping her arms around his neck stopping her legs from moving as he held her in his arms holding her up so she won't drown.

"Tch" Nick shook his head with a chuckle as Violet pouted a bit. He leaned down and captured her lips in a quick peck.

"I've always dreamed about coming here, me and Indigo had plans to do that a couple of years back but then the cheating and break-up happened and I drowned myself in work," Violet said looking up at the sunny sky where a few birds flew by. She tightened her arms around Nick's neck, they both have had the ex talk but she had never gone in too deep about James, she was still hurt, she might've moved on but that doesn't make the betrayal any less hurtful. Nicholas listened to her closely knowing how hard it must be for her to talk about James especially to him.

"At the time I was one of the happiest girls on the planet, my family was more loving than now believe it or not and there were rumors about James proposing and I couldn't wait for my birthday to come around so I can finally be bound to him through something other than words" Violet had to take a deep breath so she wouldn't burst out crying again over a man that deserved none of her tears.
