What Are We? [Nidal Wonder x Fem Reader]

Pool

"Hey Y/n I'm going to a pool party tonight. wanna come?" Jiji asked.

"Sure, why not!" I replied, smiling.

"Nice I leave in like twenty minutes."

"Bye, mum, see you soon!" Jiji called out, walking out of the house and clambering into Neshans car.

"This is gonna be the best pool party ever!" Jiji cheered. I laughed from the backseat cheering along with her.

"Literally no one swims so what's the point?" Neshan said rolling his eyes as he backed the car out of the drive.

"The aesthetic duh." Jiji responded.

"Girls will be girls." He mumbled.

"I really don't think that's a good idea." Jiji pleaded. Amira slapped her. Jiji immediately cowered back, holding her cheek.

"Now Y/n on the count of three. One, two -" She shoved me into the pool, and I fell in screaming.

Amira and her group laughed whilst Jiji stood there, forcing a smile.

I tried my best to stay at the surface, kicking and splashing gasping for air.

Amira took a picture and laughed harder.

"What! Can't swim?" She cackled.

No. No, I could not swim.

I went under struggling to stay above the water. My lungs were burning, and my eyes stung.

Suddenly, someone jumped in, pulling me up their hands on my waist. I gasped as I surfaced, grabbing onto the person tightly quickly, pressing myself against them.

"Jesus, so eager, princess?"

"Nidal, what the hell are you doing here!" I gasped.

"I came to drop off the towels jiji left behind and heard a commotion. Damn you really can't swim, can you?" He said, looking down at me.

I glared at him.

"A thanks would be nice, you know, since I just saved your ass."

"Thanks." I muttered.

He smirked and swam to the shallow side, picking me up and placing me on the wall.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

He pulled himself out and stood up, holding out his hand to me.

I hesitated before taking it. He pulled me up.

"Care to tell me why a sixteen year old girl can't swim?" He asked, letting go of me.

I fell into step beside him, sighing.

"Uh, my dad just never took me. My parents didn't have enough time." I replied.

"Mmm."

"How come you're here with us if you have parents?" He questioned, looking down at me as we walked out of the back garden into the driveway.

"My mums dead and my dad's.....working." I lied.

"I'm so sorry."

"Don't be, it's not your fault."
