Arkala's Princess

Chapter 25

"Hey." I smile as I walk up to Kyle.

"Hey." He says as I embrace him in a hug.

"I've missed you." I say and he looks at me shocked.

"Really?" He clears his throat. "I missed you too."

"Well I set up a um, I set up a picnic for us." I say, intertwining my fingers with his. On the way here, I organised a picnic and I was hoping that he would warm up to me.

"Really? Cool." He says, swinging our arms as we walk down. When we reach the sand, I bend down and pick my flip flops up and walk down. Then I spot the picnic, it looks cute, and I glance at Kyle to see he was smiling. When we get there, I sit down as he sits down as well. "When did you get all this ready?"

"I have my ways." I smile.

"Are you hungry?"

"To be honest, no, not really."

"Neither. Wanna go for a swim?"

"Yeah, sure." I smile, taking off my shirt and my shorts to reveal my new cute bikini. He takes his own short off, revealing his toned abs and chest. He glances at me, his eyes lingering on my breast a little longer, and looks up at me in the eyes, licking his lips. "Let's go."

"Yeah." He says and stands up. I stand up too, pulling all my hair over to one side. We walk down to the water, and I look at the ground. "So is there a.... Reason you wanted to hang out today?"

"A reason? What reason? No there's no reason. I mean, except for the fact that I wanted to hang out with you." I say, not expecting this question.

"Oh."

"Why do you ask?"

"Oh, I was just wondering." He says, just as we reach the water. The water is warm, which is perfect. We both wade into the water until we are about waist deep.

"It's so nice and warm."

"Yeah. It is." He says, coming a little closer to me, but I pretend I don't notice. I need to focus on my main goal here. I really need to figure out if he likes someone. That way, I can set him up with her. And hopefully, they'll decide to get married. A bit of a long shot, I know. But this is the only way out of this whole marrying Kyle thing. "So."

"So." I reply, slapping a smile on my face.

"Let's go in a bit deeper." He says.

"'Kay." I say, and we walk in a little deeper, until the water reaches just below our necks.

"It's nice cos' there's no one around....." He says, and I look around, there's only a few people here and there, but there is no one near us in a ten metre radius. Suddenly, he takes a huge step towards me, and our bodies are inches apart. I step back a little.

"W-what are you doing?" I say.

"It's just.... Cozy." He says, as I take another step back. But his arms wraps around my back.

"Kyle." I hiss. "What are you doing?"

"I don't know." He licks his lips. I feel his fingers playing with my bikini strings behind my back. "It's nice here."

"Uh huh......" I trail off. I feel his finger slowly pulling my bikini string behind my back and I quickly reach behind me and place my hand on his. "Kyle...."

"Hm?"

"Please tie my bikini top back up properly." I say.

"Fine." He grins and I turn around. I feel his breath fan my neck, and his breath gets closer, and closer..... And then I feel his lips on my neck, sucking on the skin lightly. I gasp and quickly spring forward.

"What are you doing?"

"Tying your bikini top back up." He says and I roll my eyes as I turn my back to him, as he ties my bikini top.

"Thanks." I say. "And please don't do that again." I say through gritted teeth. You need to be nice to him, Syd. Just keep calm. Keep calm and be nice to Kyle.

"I won't." He says and he turns me back around, and I reach behind me to feel that he actually has tied it up. I float in the water. I can't believe this guy. I'll get back at him. "So."

"So." I say. And clear my throat. "Hey, uh, um, like apparently you... I mean like, okay, let's talk about..... Our crushes." I force a smile, kicking myself for stuttering.

"Our crushes?"

"Yeah. Do you have a crush?"

"Yeah."

"Who?" I ask eagerly. Thank you, whoever is Kyle's crush you might've just saved me from marrying Kyle!

"I'm not saying."

"Aw, come on. I could try set you guys up?"

"Nah, I'd prefer it if she actually has feelings for me, by just me, instead of getting set up by someone else and you know.... That didn't make sense at all, did it?"

"It kinda did actually." I say.

"Okay, well, what I'm trying to say is, thank you for the offer, but no thanks."

"Well okay then. Do you have strong feelings for her?"

"Yeah. I guess. I don't know."

"If she liked you back, and like, if this relationship was going well, would you consider marrying her?" I ask.

"Yeah, maybe. It depends if she likes me back. And it depends on how much she likes me back."

"Well, maybe you should ask her out. To see what her feelings are. And who knows where this might lead to?"

"Yeah, I guess. Thanks for the thumbs up, Syd. I'll keep that in mind for sure."

"That's good." I smile.
