My Monster (Travis×Katelyn)

Chapter 11

My eyes opened, waking me up from my peaceful slumber. The faint tapping sound from my window had woken me. I rolled over to look at the window, raising my eyebrows at the occasional small pebble that hit it's pane. I took a deep breath and walked over to it, opening the window and looking down.

Travis grinned up at me, holding a single blue rose.

"Hey, beautiful" I smiled softly and set my chin on my hand as my elbow was braced on the window sill. He climbed the terras, the rose being held in his mouth by the stem. He reached me, the grin still bright on his face.

"What're you doing here?" I yawned, rubbing my eye.

"Well, I wanted to take you somewhere"

"Travis, I'm a mess"

"Didn't you hear me? You're beautiful"

"I don't want the public to see me"

"Hun, it's two in the morning, and I wanna take you somewhere private"

"Can I get dressed?"

"Nope, you're gonna jump out of this window into my arms, and we're gonna go on this spontaneous adventure" he tucked the rose in my hair, cupping my cheek and smirking.

"Fine, you win"

He chuckled and slid down to the ground. He held his arms out for me to jump into them. I took a deep breath, jumping out of the window and into his arms. I held his neck as he set me on the ground. It was colder than I expected, but Travis was prepared. He handed me a forest green sweater. I put it on, inhaling his scent that was on it.

"So, what're we doing?"

"You are coming with me to my private pool"

"But, I don't have a swimsuit..."

"We'll swim in our underwear, besides, they're kind of the same thing"

"You're insane"

"I prefer the term...mentally creative"

I slipped my hand into his as we started to walk through trees and bushes.

We were in the middle of nowhere, which confused me. We climbed a small hill, and what I saw, wasn't a pool at all, but a hot spring. Travis grinned and let go of my hand. He started unbuckling his belt, excited to relax in the warm water.

"What are you waiting for?" He chuckled, taking off his shirt. I swallowed and took off the sweater. I took off my shirt, thanking Irene that I forgot to take my bra off before bed, so I was wearing one now. I untied my sweatpants strings, letting them fall too my ankles. I took off my socks, looking over at Travis who stared at me with disbelief and a blush coating his cheeks.

"What?" I asked, looking at my simple black under garments.

"N-nothing...just....you're so...perfect" he whispered. He was now in only his green boxers, he shook his head, turning his gaze to the steaming water. He jumped in, rising back up and flipping his hair. "Come in! It's amazing!"

I slipped in, letting the heat smooth out the goosebumps. Travis swam over to me, wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me to the middle. He pulled me under, pressing his lips to mine as we started to rise to the top. When we pulled away for air, he just sat there, admiring me.

"So are we a thing?" He asked, moving to float on his back. I did the same thing, intertwining our fingers.

"Maybe, are we?"

"I think we're everything we're meant to be"

"That wasn't vague" I laughed, sarcasm in my voice. He laughed and sat on one of the rocks under the water. I sat beside him, looking up at the dancing stars in the black sky. I leaned my head on the side, still looking at the stars. I felt Travis place his face in my neck, kissing it. I sighed and placed a hand on his cheek, guiding his face to be in front of mine.
