How it all began

What was he trying to do? First he saves me from drowning then he brings me here and kisses me. He also proves that he is a jock and now he brings me a "gift." What the heck is he doing?

"I hope you like it. Wear it tonight?" he smiled shyly and set it at the foot of the bed. Once again walked out the door without another word.

Laying on my bed half past midnight waiting for a sign. Anything. Jamie hasnt gotten here. A few hours ago she "went to the bathroom" but I wonder what is taking her so long. I mean unless she has diarrhea or something.

I struggled for a while to keep my heavy eye lids open until I "rest" then for a second that becomes a few hours. The enveloping warmth of the comfortable bed that felt like someone's arms cradling my scrawny body. The fresh minty air against the flesh of my bare legs. I could even picture the golden chain wrapped around my warm neck. Until I heard whispers I realized that I wasn't dreaming. Flinging my eyes open I saw what I least expected. Xander's flawless face looking straight ahead. Concentrated on his direction. I don't know why but I shut my eyes and pretended to continue sleeping.

"I know you're awake." he chuckled. I kept my eyes shut. "You know if you want me to keep carrying you,you can just,you know ask." I could feel his smirk but I kept quiet. "I never bring girls here. But you're special. Look I'm sorry about what I did after we kissed,about acting like a jerk you know. I I'm just not used to this. Feeling this way. I used to love some one but... Well I don't like talking about that. Just know that I'm sorry ok?" "Ok but where are you taking me? Are you going to kill me or something?" I finally gave in. "Lets say or something." he chuckled.

"Well here we are!" he exclaimed. In front of me was the most beautiful place ever. A lake. A coral and turquoise water. A rock bridge and a dock that reached half the way. The sun was barely rising it being like 3 in the morning. It was gorgeous.

"So...what are we doing here?" I question. "Teaching you to swim." he grabbed me and jumped in. The water was cold at touch but got warm as we continued to be in the water. And he began to teach me but suddenly I felt like I was out of balance and was going to drown. He placed his hands on my waist and helped me swim. Soon enough I was getting the hang of it and I was swiming on my own. He took his shirt off and I couldn't stop staring at him sparkling chest with water beads. Gosh he is so hot!!

He continued to show off his sexy body. Suddenly I heard something. Crunching leaves. Tree bark scraping. Then a loud smash!!!!
