Sweet Catastrophe

Chapter 6

You requested something modest; a skirted red bottom with a ruffled white and red polka dot strapless. You had tried on three other bathing suites of a similar type, but you had liked that one the most.

Staring at yourself in the mirror, you tugged at your stomach. It was pudgier than what you would've wished, but there was nothing you could do about it now. Taking a deep breath, you asked the staff for a coverup before setting yourself in the back garden.

Already in the pool, Jimin was swimming around like a fish. V didn't change into a bathing suit; only handmade red shorts and a striped red and white T-shirt. He confessed that he didn't like swimming too much so he took a seat on one of the lounge chairs watching the clouds.

"Ah, we match", you noted to V who was wearing the same colors as you.

V looked at his clothes and back at yours. "We're a couple", he brightly beamed at you. "You look great."

"Heeey", Jimin coldly splashed water on the spirit. "Stop flirting with my girl~"

"Your girl?" You raised an eyebrow at the Prince.

"Yes, my girl", he proclaimed. "You'll fall for me sooner or later."

You gave a short snort. "Pretty confident in your abilities, aren't you?"

He shrugged, following you as you walked towards the stairs of the pool. "You can't say you aren't impressed."

You placed your ankles in the water to test the temperature. It was surprisingly warm. However, you didn't want to go in quite yet. You were a little insecure about your body and didn't want anyone to see anything more under the cover up.

Seeing your hesitation, Jimin swam up to your legs and held them down for support.

"Why are you hiding yourself, Princess ~?"

"I don't want to go in just yet."

"Liar~ It's that cover up. What are you afraid of?"

"Nothing", you laughed as you forced yourself to keep staring into his eyes. The tension only increased when he got closer.

"Then prove it. Or is this Princess of Light boring like the rest of them?"

Oh no, you didn't like the way he said that. It was a pride thing. Even if you were weak, ugly, or stupid, you never wanted to own up to it. This was one of those times.

"Fine", you groaned as you slowly took off the coverup. You instinctively sucked in your gut and gently placed the coverup by the side of the pool.

"Too looong~" the red headed Prince whined. Grabbing your feet he pulled you into the pool. You let out a scream as he caught you in his muscular arms. You could feel the indentation of his abs against your stomach and your face flushed red.

"It seems I made you fall for me", he winked.

"BECAUSE YOU PULLED ME." You punched his shoulder only causing him to laugh.

"Feisty little Princess. Looks like I was wrong about you being too submissive." He kept his gaze in you in admiration. "Is it wrong of me to think of how beautiful you look? I hardly know you. You need to stop being so cute."

You gulped. You couldn't help but melt under those words. If this continued for much longer you thought you might just fall in love with him.

"Get a room", V had called from his lounge chair.

"If only she'd let me", Jimin laughed. "Did you want to join us?"

He gave a twisted face at the thought. "That's dirty."

The young Prince was guilty as charged.

"I can do much worse."

Jimin attacked the nape of your neck, sucking and kissing it roughly. You tensed up and pulled yourself away from him, but that only made him hold tighter.

"You're not going anywhere."

"Prince--! This isn't very appropriate", you laughed. The champagne had loosened your sense of reason. As the two of you carried on with one another, V continued counting clouds in the sky.

"Oh, ______-- you don't mind if I address you informally, no?"

"It's fine, Jimin", you grinned as you returned the informality.

His bright smile gleamed at you. "I have a gift for you. Before you leave, remind me to give it to you. I'm sure you'll love it."

"Ahh now I'm curious!"

"If you kiss me then I'll tell you what it is~"

You hesitated. You hardly knew the Prince. It was only the second day of knowing him and you felt he was taking things too fast despite being intoxicated.

He tilted his head to the side as his eyes roamed the details of your face. "It's just a kiss. It won't have any merit."

"Okay, if you say so. But you have to close your eyes." You bargained while you placed your forehead on his. "Do you trust me?"

Surprised at your bold behavior, he found himself anticipating the kiss more. He closed his eyes, giving you his trust. You wrapped your arms around his neck, gently having your fingers tickle his skin. Taking a deep breath you leaned into his lips and--

*BBBBFFFFFTTTTTT*

"WAAAHHH--!!!"

You vibrated your lips on his cheek causing him to scream. He fell backwards, bringing you down with him. Reaching above the surface, the both of you cracked up laughing. You didn't think Prince Jimin would be easily scared.

"Are you okay", you laughed, coughing up some of the water you swallowed.

"You are an evil little Princess!" He pointed at you impressed. He had choked on a bit of water himself, but he was more concerned for your sake. Giving a little laugh, he lightly patted your back. "You good?"

"Yeah, yeah", you reassured as you swam towards the side of the pool.

Seeing you struggle a bit, V got up to see if you were ok. Convinced you just swallowed a little water, he slowly sat back down in his seat and watched you silently. He frowned a bit, having the desire to walk over and speak with you, but his shyness got the best of him.

Jimin took away the distance between you. "Wanna get out? I have an amazing place I want to show you."

"How amazing?" You managed to say over the coughing.

"Really amazing. Trust me, you won't regret it."
