A Five Step Game

~4~ Teach Him How To Swim

(Sky's POV)

Zayn walks in with floating armbands on, and a turtle lifesaver around his waist. He's also got goggles with nose plugs on, and a shower cap over his head.

"I'm ready." He says, with a bright smile on his face.

I have to hold onto the chair to keep myself from falling of laughter. I pull out my phone and take a quick picture of him.

My eyes are tearing up because I've been laughing so hard.

"Stop laughing at me. I'm afraid of water." He pouts, and I finally stop.

"Zayn, you don't need to dress like that." I say.

"I want to, and I'm ready. Lets go!" He says excitedly.

"Okay then." I shrug, then pull my cover up over my head, leaving me in just my bikini.

I shake my hair out, then turn to Zayn, who has his eyes locked onto my body.

"H-has anyone ever told you that you're an extremely sexy-I mean-gorgeous girl?" He says, and I laugh then nod.

"Yep. Now come on." I pull his arm, taking him out of his trance.

I'm already in the pool, and Zayn continues to stand there by the steps.

"Come on Zayn. I promise I won't let you drown." I say, and he comes in slowly. When he's all the way in, he grins.

"I'm in!" He says, happily.

"Good, but do you trust me enough to loose the floaties?" I say.

His eyes widen, "I guess."

He pulls them off, and hands them to me. I put the at the edge of the pool. I also take that as my chance to take the silly shower cap off of his head.

Zayn stands there awkwardly, with his goggles and nose plugs still on.

"Would you like to go under a few times first?" I ask him.

"Am I going to die?" He asks, sincerely.

"No. I promise." I say, and he nods, then grabs my hands.

"You have to go under with me." He says.

"Fine. Ill count to three. One. Two th-"

"WAIT! Let me count." Zayn panics.

"Okay, go." I chuckle.

"O-One. T-Two."

"THREE!" I yell, then pull him under with me.

Our eyes meet underwater, right before he freaks out and goes back up to the surface.

I come back up slower, and push my hair out of my face.

"SKY!" He screams, the nose plugs making him sound really nasal, so I laugh.

"Yes, Zayn?" I smirk.

He keeps a straight face, then tries to grab me. He misses, which makes me laugh, and swim away.

Just as I wanted him to, he follows my actions, and comes towards me. I go underwater, smiling as he does the same, then turn around as he grabs my legs.

I try to kick but he holds me down, then pulls me to him. I turn around, and he finally lets go. We both go back up, then take deep breaths.

"Why'd you do that?!" He yells.

"To get you to swim, and you did. Look, you're in the deep end, floating by yourself." I say.

He realizes, then yells, "WOOOHOOO!!"
