        It's all over the internet that today it will snow here. I have never seen snow till now. It's my first time and I am so excited to see it. For now, they all have decided to go into the pool and have some fun. I didn't bring my swimsuit, so I was the only one to not go into the pool. The pool was about 15 feet long and it wasn't too deep. It was around 5 feet in deepness. I haven't seen Ethan since whatever happened in the morning. But it's not my fault.

"What are you doing here?" Sam shouted while I was sitting on the chair.

"Uhm... Nothing, you know that I don't have my swimsuit." I said looking at her.

"Do you think that I will believe this? I know you are afraid of water." Sam said laughing.

"Shut up," I said to her. It wasn't because of my swimsuit but I was afraid of water since my Dad threw me into the 6 feet pool when I was 13 years old. It was horrible. I thought that I was going to die but someone saved me. My Dad didn't even see that I was drowning. He didn't even know that I can't swim. I don't remember exactly what happened but he was very angry and suddenly he pushed me into the pool and walked out of the place.

"Let's just sit near the pool," Sam said holding my hand.

"Okay," I said, and we walked towards the pool. I saw Daniel in the swim shorts. Well, he was half-naked. Woah! He had a great body. Me and Sam couldn't take our eyes off him.

"Nancy, where is your swimsuit?" Daniel asked rolling his eyes. I was wearing jeans and a top.

"Uhm... I didn't bring a swimsuit. So I will just sit here and watch you all." I said smiling.

"Okay," he said and jumped into the pool.

      I sat on the sun lounger by the pool. There was a smile on my face by seeing Daniel swimming. He was a great swimmer I would say. He looked pretty hot in shorts. I was staring at him. Whenever we girls see a hot guy, it automatically puts a smile on our faces. I kept my chin on the palm of my hand and looked at him with so much interest. Ah! I feel so good to see him. I could even watch him the whole day. There were butterflies in my stomach. I just couldn't take my eyes off him. He slicked his hair back and it made him look more hot.

"Is he hot?" someone asked.

"Hmm..." I said smiling and nodding my head. I realized that someone was beside me and turned my head. Fuck! It was Ethan Sinclair, looking at me with those grey eyes. I stopped smiling.

"More than me?" he asked.

"Huh..." I said.

"Is he hotter than me?" he came close to me and looked at me. Gosh! I was nervous.

"What are you saying?" I stood up and cleared my throat.

"You know what I am saying," he took his steps toward me and came close to me again. I took one step backward and he took one step forward.

"Ethan..." I said. I was nervous because he was coming so close to me.

"Give me an answer, Nancy," he said moving forward.

"Stop," I said looking at him. He stopped walking towards me. He started unbuttoning his shirt. I widened my eyes and looked at him. What is he doing? Why is he doing it in front of me? He took his shirt off. Oh my God! I couldn't take my eyes off his body. He was so fit. He had 6 abs and broad shoulders. I was so nervous that I moved backward and suddenly I fell into the pool. I didn't even realize that I was standing at the edge of the pool. As I fell, the whole memories flashback, and I was scared. It wasn't too deep but still, I was feeling like I was drowning.

"Help... Please... I don't know how to swim." I shouted splashing water.

"Common Nancy, it's just 5 feet and you won't drown," Daniel said laughing.

       Ethan jumped into the pool and held me in his arms. He grabbed my waist and pulled me closer to him. We looked at each other. Sometimes EYES speak more than WORDS could ever speak. He was worried about me. I could see in his eyes. He cares for me. Should I be happy that he cares for me?

"Are you okay?" he asked worried.

      I nodded my head. He took me out of the pool and made me sit. I was scared as hell. I thought that I was going to die. Sam came running towards me.

"Nancy, are you okay?" she asked crying.

"Yeah, I am. Sam, don't cry." I said putting a fake smile on the face. The fact was I wasn't okay. To live is the rarest thing in the world, most people EXISTS, that is all. And I am one of them. I don't have a family. I live alone and sometimes it hits so hard. I was about to cry. Ethan brought a towel and started drying my hair. He covered my face with that towel and tears welled up in my eyes. I kept my hand on my face and cried.

"I will get you some water," Sam said and left.

"I am sorry..." I said to Ethan.

"Why are you sorry?" he removed the towel and looked at me.

"Because I cried," I said looking at him.

"Crying doesn't indicate that you are weak. Since birth, it has always been a sign that you are alive," he said wiping off my tears.

"Thank you for saving me," I said looking at him.

"You won't die in this pool," he said laughing.

"Yeah I won't," I laughed.

"Are you afraid of water? Is it again because of your dad?" he asked holding my hands.

"I don't want to talk about it," I said looking at him.

"Nancy, water." Sam gave me a glass of water. Ethan was upset that she came so suddenly. It looked like he wanted to say something.

"Uhm. Okay, I need to go. I have some work. Take care, Nancy." he said looking at me.

"Yeah," I said.
