Stolen Kisses

Chapter Four

As he let go of me I screamed "I can't swim"

When I fell in the water I reached for the top of the water trying to reach the surface.

"Help"

I managed to say for the half of a second that I was able to get my head out of the water.

I felt someone jump in the water and shortly after felt an arm around my waist. I was brought up to the surface and took in a few deep breaths.

I was in Mark's arms, legs around his waist and I managed to haul my arms around his neck. His hands settled onto my waist.

"Sucker" I said.

I knew how to swim. Better than the average person I would say.

I pulled away from his grasp and started swimming around.

He rolled his eyes and laughed.
He splashed water at me and turned around heading for the steps.

I looked up and saw all the guys running and hollering towards the pool and eventually they all jumped.

I lost Mark in all of the chaos.

None of the girls had joined in on the fun and I felt lonely. I felt so weird because I was wearing a whole ass hoodie in the pool and it was weighing me down.

I eventually got out and walked over to the girls who were laying on the pool chairs. They all looked at me and laughed.

"What was that about?" Skylar said.

"What?" I said.

"You and Mark" Ellie butted in.

"I don't know what you're talking about'' I said while taking the shades off Skylars head and putting them on mine. I leaned back onto Ellies legs and relaxed.

"Dude you're soaking wet" Ellie said pulling her legs away.

"It's just water." I sighed as I got up and announced that I'm going inside to shower.

Every step I took the drenched hoodie got heavier. I squeezed all the water I could get out of it before I stepped inside.

I walked up to Kate and asked how she was doing. She questioned what had happened and I had explained, then reminded me that she had my bags in her car. I was super relieved. She gave me her keys and I proceeded to get the bags from the car.

A few moments later I walked in lugging in a whole bunch of duffel bags.I decided to bring in Ellies and Sam's bags alongside mine.

When I shut the front door behind me, I turned around to see Mark jogging towards me.  shirtless.

"Let me help you with those," he said, taking 3 bags from my hands. 

"Thank you" I sighed.

"Where to?" he asked, tossing one of the bags on his shoulder.

I locked the front door and lead him up the stairs.
I opened Ellie and I's bedroom door and signaled towards the bed. He dropped them onto the bed with ease. 

"These are all yours?" he joked.

"Haha funny" I said with a straight face.

"They're Sam, Ellies and I's".

He inspected the room and looked out the window. I'm glad me and Ellie were good at  leaving our spaces super clean and tidy because it paid off in the end.

As he faced out the window, his back towards me, I couldn't help but admire him. His back was toned and...

STOP IT
I can't be doing this
