Imagination (Christian Collins fanfiction)

Chapter 34

I woke up to an empty room. How nice of everyone to leave me...

I checked my phone and had one text from Christian,

Christian 🙈💘:
Hey Princess, I hope you're feeling better! We all went down to the pool if you want to join us

Okay...

I stood up and walked down the hallway looking for the pool. I stopped and started looking at the signs because I got lost... Typical me.

"Hey, do you need help?"

I turned around to see this very attractive boy around my age who had a concerned expression, "Umm, yeah... Where's the pool?"

"The pool? You don't look like you're going to the pool."

"Oh, I'm not swimming. I'm meeting my boyfriend and some friends down there."

"Oh.. Well if you go that way," he said pointing down the hall, "and do the left, there should be a door there. Go through the door and to the right and out that door is the pool."

"Thank you!" I said smiling.

"Oh wait!" He yelled as I started waking.

"Hmm?"

"What's your name?"

"Nicole" I smiled.

"Ethan" He smiled and nodded.

"Well, Ethan... Thank you for the directions."

"No problem..." He smiled before turning away and jogging down the hallway.

I walked down to the pool and saw everyone playing and swimming around, "Hey! Sleeping Beauty is awake!" Chris yelled and hopped out of the pool, "I would hug you, but I'm all wet."

"You really think I care?" I asked raising an eyebrow, he shrugged and I pulled him in to a hug, he hugged back and I just stood there in his arms because that's all I wanted was to be in his arms.

Then I felt him pick me up.

"Christian!" I screamed as he threw me over his shoulder and started running, "Chris no! No no no!"

He jumped in the pool and I went under water with him. I surfaced and glared at him, he laughed and then swam over to me, "I love you.."

He held me close and pressed his forehead against mine, even though he's been my best friend since forever and is my boyfriend now, he still gives me butterflies.

"I love you too." I smiled and kissed him. He kissed back and held my waist, I pulled away first and climbed out of the pool, "Well... Now I'm soaking wet." I said and crossed my arms, my clothes were clinging to me and Chris eyed me up and down,

"So am I." He smirked. My eyes widened and he laughed, "Kidding, I'll get you a towel."

He climbed out of the pool and walked past me to get a towel. He came back and handed me one, but before I could grab it he pulled it up so I couldn't reach, "Christian!" I whined.

"Only if you kiss me."

"No"

"Then you don't get a towel." He smirked.

"You're so mean!" I pouted.

"Awww you're so cute when you're mad!" He said giving in and handing me the towel.

"Thank you, love!" I leaned in to kiss his cheek and he grabbed my hips tightly and turned his head to he could kiss me. I didn't pull away, I just smiled and kissed him anyway.

"I love you." He said wrapping me in the towel, "Never forget that."

"How can I when you're always reminding me?"

"I just don't want you to forget. I'll always love you, no matter what."

I smiled up at him and wrapped my arms around his neck, "I love you too, always." I said and kissed his neck because I couldn't reach his cheek. He got goosebumps turned red, I giggled and laid my face on his shoulder.

"I'm going to take her inside." Chris told the others, they all nodded or said "okay" and Chris took me inside. I was shivering and Chris pulled the towel tighter around me and held me close to him when we got in the elevator.

When the door opened, the Ethan guy from earlier was standing there. He smiled at me, but it faded a little when he saw Chris.

"Hey Nicole, I see you found the pool?"

"Yeah, thanks again."

"No problem, so this is your boyfriend?"

"Yeah.."

Chris tensed up and reached his hand out, "Chris, and you are?"

"Ethan," he said taking Christian's hand, "you're one lucky guy there, Chris."

They pulled their hands away and Chris looked at him confused.

"Nicole, she's... Gorgeous." He said looking down and blushing.

"Yeah... I know." Chris said and smiled at me.

"Well we should get going!" I said taking Chris' hand and dragging him down the hallway. We got to the room and I went over to my bag and grabbed some leggings, a tank top, and a hoodie.

I took a quick shower and then got dressed. Chris was sitting on the bed and I joined him. He wrapped his arms around me and laid down cuddling me.

I smiled as he pulled me closer and I put my head against his chest while intertwining our legs. He pulled his phone out and played Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran.

I smiled and he held me close. I closed my eyes and listened to his heartbeat with the song.

I love this boy more than you could imagine...
