Misunderstandings

Part 10: Admitting.

As we arrived the lake was calm, and the water was flowing at a steady rate. I immediately sat on the edge and started kicking the water with my legs.
I got up and turn around to see Cam in his boxers. I immediately turn the other direction embarrassed.
"We can't swim in out clothes Mel." He said laughing.
"I know but we shouldn't in our underwear either." I said still turning the opposite direction.
"You're right we should swim naked." He joked.
"Cam stop." I said Embarrassed.
"Mel, it's ok. We're cool." He said as he jumped in the water and started swimming. Then he started splashing it on my face.
"Ok, I'll come." I said. As Cam turned the other direction.
I took off my shirt and pants realizing I was only in my bra and underwear.
I jumped in the water keeping my eyes closed.
"Told ya, You'll be fine." Cam said as he splashed more water on my face.
I attacked back by splashing more and we were laughing and playing water tag.
"Let's have a contest." He said.
"Ok." I said.
"The person who holds their breath underwater the longest wins." He said smiling.
"Ok I'll beat you." I said laughing.
"On your mark...get...set...go." He said as we both ducked underwater.
The water was so clear I could see Cam. His face is beautiful in land and water. He swam closer to me as we held our breath. He swam so close until we were facing each other and our nose were touching. Then Cam wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me up the surface. We were floating on the top.
"I guess we both lose." I said smiling.
"Yeah. Or we both won." He replied.
"Yeah..." I said awkwardly remembering how close we were underwater.
"Mel..." Cam said in a soft voice.
"Yeah?" I asked. As my heart was pounding as if it were to explode.
"I love you"  Cam said, as the words come to my ear I couldn't believe he said it. It was music to my ears.
"I love you too." I replied smiling.
Then Cam's face lit up and his lips formed a perfect grin.
He pulled me close and lightly pulled my face towards his. And before I know it, his warm lips were on my lips. His breath was warm and comforting. He pulled me close and tight. I wrapped my legs around his waist as he kissed me. I wanted nothing more, and nothing less. Just.this.moment.
