You Were Right

Not Romantic, Just Panicked

Y/N's P.O.V

Me and Mitch were just floating around in the water together getting to know each other. Many of the questions would have included telling him a lot about my past and I guess you would consider it, how poorly I'm treated. Of course I did't want to tell him anything just yet so I decide to dance around the truth a bit in my answers. He seemed to be buying it. I found out that he lived with his friend Scott, the blonde guy from earlier and he owned a hairless cat, Wyatt. All he knew about me past was that my mother ran away, my brother died, and that I moved out leaving my father alone. Nothing else, nothing more.

"Wait so are  you from around here or just visiting?" he politely asked me.

"Around here. I live by myself in an apartment." I replied

"Cool maybe we can hang out sometime?" Mitch asked.

"Of course sounds great!" I said trying my best to hide the nervousness that just got bottled up inside me because of the fact that I was positively socializing with someone. We were I guess you could say bonding. I must of covered well because he doesn't seem to notice my nervousness.

We continue chit chatting in the water and I end finding myself floating on my back eyes closed letting the waves float me over them. Though Mitch decided to hold onto my hand so I didn't go floating off in the current. I had butterflies in my stomach from the second he touched my hand. He was so nice, cute, and caring. Out of all people he didn't deserve me as a friend, I was worthless. Why was he different from everyone else? It's that moment that I felt his grip on my hand tighten. " Mitch? You okay?" I asked.

That very second is when Mitch tugs me up and wraps his arms around my waist. Not in a romantic way but in a panicked way. "Mitch?!" I tried to snap him out of it. That's when I saw the crashing wave coming in. That's all I saw before he had pulled me under the water ducking below the wave. We tumbled around a bit but I noticed that I had a death grip on his sides holding on for dear life. It all happened in seconds.

When we came up for air I was literally plastered against him terrified. My head on his chest panting for air. He chuckled and released one hand to swipe his hair back out of his face. I loosened my grip on him, slowing my breathing. "Thanks..." I managed to get out. 

"Hey I was't about to watch you get pummeled by a wave, now was I? No problem."  He said, a smile appearing on his face. Damn was I falling for this boy. His smile was heart melting and same with his laugh. His voice as sweet as sugar. I giggled a bit completely releasing my grip from his ribs. I looked up into his eyes reflecting the sunlight just perfectly. 

"I guess not." Is all I could say. 

We only stayed out in the water for about another 5 minutes before Mitch asked " Want to go get dried off?"

"Yeah. Yeah that would be nice." I said a grin tugging onto my face. As we walked back to dry land we playfully splashed each other. 

When we got to our set ups we each grabbed our towels and dried off.  He swooped his hair across his face, just missing covering his brilliantly brown eyes. Cute.  I must have been staring because a grin overcame his face. "Like what you see?" he asked sarcastically. 

I giggled and responded "Nope. Just thinking about how nice you are to me. It's sweet." The first word was a lie, the rest was pretty much true. His grin remained as he pulled on a T-shirt with the words 'SUPERFRUIT' on the front with two cute cartoon faces along with it. I thought nothing of it at the time. I put my tank top back on and pulled my hair pack again into another high ponytail. "Shoot." I mumble under my breath but clearly not quiet enough.

"What's wrong?" Mitch asked.

"Nothin just noticed my sunglasses fell off when we went under. No biggie, I'll get a new pair." I responded even though I knew it would be awhile until I had enough money to buy a replacement.

"I'll get you a new pair." Mitch offered.

"No, no. No need for that. Thanks though." I denied politely. 

"K then. But you can't control if I choose otherwise." He commented. I rolled my eyes which made him chuckle. I seriously didn't want him to because it just didn't seem right but I decided not to argue. He had a point. You still had two more drinks left so I offered one to him. 

"Here I'm not going to be here long enough to drink them both without going CRAZY!" I said. He giggles a bit at the last part.

"You sure?" He responds.

"Yup. 100% positively sure!" I say all perky like. Once again acting to be someone I wasn't. Gee. I could be a Broadway actress. 

"Only if you insist." Mitch says as he grabs the drink I offered to him and took a seat in next to me. "I'm probably going to get going soon to." he stated. It's that moment that I remembered his friend leaving him with no ride home.

"Hey, not to seem nosy but I overheard your friend leaving you with no ride. Do you need one?" I offered as I took a sip of my drink.

"That would be nice. But only if you have time." Mitch replied sweetly. OMG, his voice makes me melt inside.

"Of course! Why would I offer it if I didn't have time silly?" I said slightly bumping him, making him almost spit out the sip of his drink he just drank. 

"I really don't know." He said seeming embarrassed. I giggled at his remarks. He looks over at me and blushes. BLUSHES? Whoa girl slow down. I must be hallucinating from my drink. No that's insane I only had one! I decided to shake it off.

I continued to talk to Mitch about things we seemed to have in common until our drinks were gone. "Hey you want to get going?" I asked.

"Yeah, sounds great." Mitch replies getting up and gathering up the remainder of his stuff that Scott didn't take. He was so cute, there was no way I was going to get over him anytime soon. I was falling, falling hard in love.
