Dreams on Waters - A Camren Fanfiction

Chapter 28

I've never run so much in my life!

I felt my lungs burn needing some air, the sweat ran down my forehead and my legs felt weaker and weaker to continue. Still I didn't stop. I kept running with the others trying to keep up with them and not stay behind. Every now and then I would notice Camila slow down just to look over her shoulder in my direction. Catching her looking at me she would quickly turn her head and pick up the pace again.

I looked at Gerd who didn't seem as affected as I was, not even the others.

Is it that nobody else was tired of running, was I the only one?

The only good thing about all this was being able to see the brunette's butt as she moved. I tried not to see it and focus on something else but my eyes were always going to stop in the same place, which made me feel like a damn pervert but after a while I ended up accepting the situation.

We arrived at what seemed to be the entrance to a forest, we entered it leaving behind the Spanish buildings and their people. We stopped for a bit after having passed a small stream, all totally exhausted. I flopped down on the ground, lying on my back and spreading my arms and legs. I closed my eyes waiting for my breathing to return to normal, I opened them just a few minutes later when I felt someone sit next to me.

I smiled when I saw Camila there, one leg extended and the other flexed as she casually rested her arm on her knee. Only one word crossed my mind at the time: beautiful.

She looked beautiful.

Like this with her messy hair, panting a little and her cheeks slightly flushed. Of course, with that image of her all kinds of thoughts came to me that for my own good I decided to put aside.

She turned to see me raising the corners of her lips starting to caress my hair, her gesture surprised me, however I did nothing to stop her. I was enjoying it.

"We'll stay here to rest a while and then we'll continue," she said in a low voice without leaving the caresses.

I nodded slowly and forgetting that we were not alone, I took her hand, intertwining her fingers with mine, stroking my thumb the back of her hand. I felt more relaxed by the simple fact of having her by my side, of knowing that she was fine and I hoped that this feeling of tranquility would last for a long time, although in this place that was somewhat complicated.

Camila got up, letting go of my hand as she did so and brushed off her clothes a bit. That action seemed useless to me since what I was wearing was totally stained with blood and other dirt. I looked at her carefully, waiting for her next move, I didn't understand why she had gotten up so suddenly. The brunette was looking forward which made me get up and sit in my place to find out what I was seeing so much.

Then I noticed that Dinah's eyes were on us, leaning against a large stone staring at us. I couldn't decipher what her eyes were saying but it caused a chill to run down my spine. In the end I ended up seeing her sigh and turn her head away.

"Gerd" Camila called the big man "Could you go find something we can eat?"

The big man with a grunt and a shake of his head moved away from the small group to go even further into the forest.

"I'll go get water," she reported later.

"We don't have anything to pour the water" said the other girl with obviousness.

"I know, I just want to clean up a bit. I had been in that cell for a long time and some water would do me good," she replied with a shrug.

"I'll accompany you," I said when she started walking.

Dinah raised one of her eyebrows looking at me as if I had said something strange, Harry who had not said anything so far began to laugh and finally Camila smiled amused.

I realized that perhaps the brunette's words meant that she really intended to take a "bath" and since I had offered to accompany her, everything could be misinterpreted.

"If you want ..." I finished saying in a low voice and with my cheeks burning.

"Sure, why not?" The brunette giggled, turning around to start walking.

With two pairs of eyes on me I dedicated myself to follow Camila. It was a silent ride until we reached the creek that we had previously passed.

"Are you planning to take a bath here?" I asked confused.

The stream was very shallow so much that we could walk through it without any problem but she refused and taking my hand she pulled me to walk along the edge of the stream. When I asked her if she knew where we were going the only response I received was a shrug from her. A few minutes later we stopped as our path ended at a small waterfall that fell a few meters below. It was cute.

"Have you been here before?" Her refusal surprised me a bit. "Then how ...?"

"Instinct I guess," she shrugged again.

For some reason her answer did not convince me but I did not give it importance because I was still admiring the place. Camila moved next to me and when I turned to look at her she was taking off her clothes.

"Hey w-wait ... w-what are you doing?" I gulped when I saw her take off her pants.

"You don't expect me to put on clothes, do you?"

After that she ended up undressing, thus remaining totally naked in front of me without any shame. She put the clothes aside, winked at me, and just jumped. I quickly approached the edge of the waterfall to be able to see where the brunette had fallen, although the waterfall was small, I did not know how deep the pool was.

"Camz?" I called when I saw that it did not come out "Camila ?!" I tried again and nothing, it was beginning to alarm me.

Getting up, I hurried to remove my boots and the blouse that I was wearing, ready to launch myself to look for Camila. I was about to do it when her head came to the surface, at that moment I released all the air that I did not know I had been holding.

"Do you want to give me a heart attack?!" I yelled annoyed.

"Now relax, you better come here with me," she said while throwing her hair back.

It was something very tempting, I was definitely not going to let it pass. Forgetting that I was upset with her for giving me a good scare, I also got rid of my clothes, placing them in the same place where she had left them and without wasting any more time I jumped into the pool.
