See You Again

XLVI

"Noooooo!" she yelled as I lowered her into the water, her arms around my neck, trying to escape the cold water. She had already dried after our little swim and didn't feel like going for another.

"I thought you wanted this," I laughed, letting go of her.

She stepped away from me, water dripping from her hair.

"No," she pouted and grabbed me by my sides. "And you, Willy, what do you want?"

It's been so long since she called me that...

Before I knew it, she was right in front of me, lowering herself with her eyes set on mine. I couldn't move and my insides were turning into putty for the way she looked at me. Her chin touched the water and her hands met the sides of my underwear. That was when I felt the hard grip that lifted me before throwing me into the water, my back diving into the lowest part of the pool.

I gasped for air, sitting up. One glare and she burst out laughing.

"Hilarious," I pointed out dryly.

She smirked and lower herself to me "It was, wasn't it? And to think you actually thought I would do all those outrageous things that crossed your mind"

Red tainted my cheeks. That look wouldn't leave my mind so soon.

"What is it, darling?" she mocked "Are you embarrassed?"

"No" I rolled my eyes and pulled her down, making her kneel beside me "But you'll be very soon"

She frowned.

"My mum must be arriving any minute now. And you're on your very white, very transparent underwear"

Her face drained of colour "Now?"

"I think I'm already hearing the car"

I was joking but she stilled in place, trying to listen to what I claimed to hear. Trying not to laugh, I held her hand and led her out of the pool. I grabbed a towel laying on a lounger and wrapped it around her shoulders, ushering her into the house.

"I don't hear anything," she said.

"I know"

I took her through the living room, up the stairs, back to my bedroom. Our clothes were still laying on the floor by the window and she made a gesture to go grab them.

Before she could walk away, I grabbed her by the waist and pushed her to the other side of the bedroom.

"Where are we going?" she asked, letting herself be taken away.

"To take a shower" I answered, surprised by the lack of protest.

"A shower?" she repeated "Both of us?"

I nodded "Just a shower. I promise I'll keep my hands to myself. Unless you don't want to, of course"

My first mistake was to leave Kenzie alone in my bedroom. The second was to not have a Kenzie-proof bedroom room. It was plain stupidity, mostly because I had been in this situation before.

"Willy!" she called from inside the room.

"Kenzie!" I yelled back, pronouncing it the same way she did with my name.

I had gone to the kitchen to grab something to eat and ran onto my mother. I was held captive for a little too long and now, coming back, the consequences of leaving my girlfriend alone don't even cross my mind.

"You took so long" she complained once I walked in.

She was sitting on my desk, dressed in one of my shirts to avoid putting on the school's uniform again, ankles crossed over my chair.
