Seek and You Shall Find

Chapter 6

I rummaged in my closet and found what I was looking for. Perfect. He left his shirt and shorts here the last time we went for a swim. I skipped downstairs and saw him sitting on the couch. I threw his clothes at him and I just had to smile at his reaction.

"You left them before. I'm going to change, okay?". He nodded and again, I went upstairs to find swim wear. I chose a red one piece which covered much of my body. I was comfortable around Trevor but I never ever really wear 2 piece bikinis. Since... I don't know. Since birth? Ha-ha.

After I changed and took 2 towels, I headed outside and saw Trev just laying on one of the chairs on the side of the pool looking hot as ever wearing only his shorts. I know. My best friend is hot. It was a sunny day and but it was perfect for swimming because it wasn't too hot.

Trev turned his head and saw me. We wolf-whistled at the same time and laughed. I swear we are so weird. "Damn, woman. You are smoking hot.", he said smirking at me. I was used to him making those kind of comments. Like I said, I was comfortable around him.

I made my way to the chair beside him and dropped the towels there. "I wish I could say the same for you, mister.". I stuck my tongue out at him, teasing him. He laughed at that and stood up.

"Don't you dare stick your tongue out at me, woman.", he said, glaring at me. "Or what?", I asked. "Or this.", he said, picking me up from the ground and jumping into the pool.

I gasped for air and he was laughing his ass off. "I hate you!", I shouted at him. "You know you love me.", he said, winking at me. Trev wasn't usually this flirty with me but I shrugged it off.

I got behind him and climbed on his back, putting my legs on his waist. He held them in place and started to walk around the pool. I put my chin on his shoulder. We both fell silent and I wondered why.

"Vi. I know something's wrong. Please tell me?", he asked, breaking the silence. And just like that I blurted out everything about the dream just like how I told Ria. I couldn't help it. He was after all, my best friend. I didn't realize I was crying until Trev spoke up and told me to stop crying. I didn't know why I was so upset about the dream.

He put me down and faced me. He hugged me and then stared at me with his aquamarine eyes. "so you really like this guy, huh. I don't know what to say. Tell me what to do? How can I help you?", he asked, looking upset too.

I can't believe I'm making other people upset beacause of my dream. "Just listening to me. That's enough. I'm sorry for being such a drama queen.", I said.

He splashed me with water and said, "Okay, okay. Just stop crying. Is that all?". Nope. That's not all. I looked at him and bit my lip, thinking if I should tell him about my worries about Martin. "Martin.", I finally said. "I'm scared. It's like he's out to get me."

.He froze and wrapped his arms around me. "I'll protect you, Vi. I promise.", he said. I didn't know what to do. So I just hugged him back.

I'm sure if our someone walked in on us right now, they would immediately think we were a couple. But it was innocent. It was perfect. It was simple. It was everything I needed at the moment and I loved it. I love the feeling of being safe, wrapped up in my best friend's arms. He understood me and that was enough for me.
