God Save The Queen

Chapter 8: Love Birds

*Amara's P.O.V*

The rest of the ball was more amazing then I thought it could ever be. After our confessions we decided that we should go back out before someone noticed and we spent the rest of the night dancing alongside each other. I normally can't dance but with him beside me I felt like I could do anything, it was the most phenomenal experience a girl could have. Not to mention, the ball was a smashing hit with all of the guests and all night I was told how great of a host I was and I was truly meant to be a royal. When I finally fell back onto my bed that night I felt like it was all a dream and it was perfect.  To think, it got better in the morning!

"Amara. Amara... AMARA WAKE UP" came through the intercom startling me awake. "Yeah, yeah I'm awake. What do you want Forester?" I replied, not happy with being woken up so early. "I just wanted to let you know that there will not be any classes for 2 weeks as a reward for your outstanding performance at the ball last night." I felt my heart leap in excitement, 2 whole weeks to do whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. Possibly spend it with Dean! "Thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Oh god bless you forester! Now if you don't mind I must shower!" I said excitedly dancing into the bathroom. I felt like swimming today.

After my shower I threw on a swimsuit, grabbed a towel and headed down to the pool to do some laps. Once I got there I quickly threw my towel beside the pool and dived in letting the water refresh me. I decided that today I was going to work on my butterfly, after all it's the stroke that got me into the championships back home. So I began to do laps correcting myself as I went along. 

I did this for a good 20 minutes before I heard someone yelling at me above the surface, much like the last time I came here... So I stopped and stood up to see the very same boy who interrupted me before, how ironic. 

"Dean!" I shouted with a glowing smile creeping onto my face.

"Amara. I knew you'd be here, it is after all, one of our first meeting places." He said smirking. 

"Well, this time you better had brought a bathing suit with you because you're coming in here whether you want to or not." I said with an evil grin. 

"Somehow I saw that coming, so yes I did come prepared." He replied, and he pulled off his shirt and jumped into the pool landing right beside me. 

"Although, I don't know how I can compare to you, you swim like a true fish." He said as he popped up out of the water. 

"Well I always have been a fish out of  water...." I replied, trying to resist the urge to look at his chest. 

"I suppose so." He said, and he seemed to be unable to resist either as his eyes began to travel downwards. As he began to do so I took the opportunity to check him out as well. He was gorgeous. His chest was so defined and he had the abs every girl wanted a guy to have and the v shaped lines leading down... and the drops of water made him seem to shine almost and it made me want to lick off every single drop... Oh my god, I can't be thinking this way, snap out of it Amara!  

"So, um-um race you?" I said awkwardly trying to distrct us both us. Luckily it worked as he seemed to snap out of his daze.

"Sure! Front crawl there and back, see ya at the finish line." He said as he took off before I could be ready. 

"That's cheating!" I exclaimed before pushing off the wall and began full speed ahead. 

I have always been fast but something about him made me want to impress him so I pushed myself and began to catch up with him. Right before we hit the other side of the pool we were right beside each other and I launched my self into my turn and came out on the other side ahead of him. I laughed internally as I approached the finish line (where we originally started) and stood up. I leaned casually against the wall as if I had been waiting forever when he came up beside me.
