A Forest Away (dnf)

Thirty

After I woke up we both decided we should go to the pool. Once we were in our swimming trunks and had our towels in hand, I reach for the front door to leave but Clay stops me.

"Where are you going?", he asks. "I thought we were gonna go to the pool?"

"We are. It's not out there though", I watched him with a raise brow expecting him to say it was a joke. But instead he walks over to a door I didn't notice before.

He opens it then motions his hand towards it. I hesitantly walk over. An audible gasp can be heard by me as I stepped near the doorway.

The room was dark but the pool was lit up, giving the room a bluish hue. There was a small round table that had armchairs surrounding it. Then there was a makeshift waterfall flowing down into the medium sized pool.

"Pretty neat right?", Clay says next to me. "Yeah no kidding", we both walk in then placed our stuff down onto the chairs. I slip my sandals off as I made my way over to the pool.

I sit down on the edge and put my feet in. "Is it cold?", I hear Clay ask besides me. We make eye contact as I looked up at him. "It's a little chilly" "Alright I'm getting in", I watched as Clay walked back over to the chairs.

He then crosses his arms over his body as he slips his shirt off in one clean motion. I quickly look back down at the pool as I lightly bite my lip.

Oh my god he's gonna be shirtless the whole time.

Suddenly Clay dives into the water.

TW mature language
I cover my face as he dove in. "What the hell", I say aloud. He then reappears out of the water as he flipped his hair back out of his face. "The water is freezing", I complain as I held onto myself. "Well not unless you get in and move around", he says as he walked his way over to me.

"When are you gonna get in?", he asks softly as he stood in between my legs. "When I feel like it", I say as I slightly shivered to the cold water that was on me.

"Hmm how about now", suddenly Clay grabs my waist and proceeds to pull me in the water. Since there was nothing for me to grab onto I ended up getting into the water. "What the fuck is wrong with you!", I exclaimed as I wrapped my legs and arms around him, already shivering from the coldness.

"It's not even that cold", he says as he chuckles. "Well easy for you to say. My body doesn't magically stay warm", I say as I picked my head up to look at him. "You're finee", he tells me as he uses a hand to cup the water then dumping it onto my back.

"Stop it! It's coldd", I whined as he continued to splash the water on me. He then walks over and places me down onto the small baja shelf the pool had.

"You're gonna have to get fully in eventually", he says which causes me to roll my eyes.

"Isn't it gonna get rusty", I suddenly blurt out as looked down to his necklace. "Nah it's fine", he then grabs me again so I wrap my legs around his waist as I placed both of my hands on his shoulders.

He slowly walks us over to the middle of pool. "Sorry for what I'm about to do", he says. "What do you mean?", I asked slightly concerned. He then suddenly dunks me under the water.

"What the hell!?", I yell as he brought me back up. "Sorry, I didn't want you getting sick", he tells me as he uses a hand to move my hair out my face. "You really believe in that myth? If anything you made it more likely for me to get sick"

"My goodness you're so moody", he says as he kisses me. "You know what just for that I'm not kissing you back", I say as I leaned back away from him with arms crossed.
