Chapter 22- You Saved Me- AustraliaXReader

I scooped my arms over the water with long strides, kicking my feet rapidly at the same time. The water was cool against my skin. The way it drenched me made me feel welcome. I always did feel the best when I was practicing laps in the lake.

Even though my thoughts on swimming in the bodies of water surrounded by wooded areas and forestry was about to change drastically.

About halfway across the small lake, I turned around to go back to shore. I was about to get close when I was yanked under by an unknown force. Whatever this was, it couldn't be good. The force bit down on my foot and pulled me under the water.

I couldn't fight the force. I opened my eyes and looked down to see a crocodile of catastrophical size. I tried not to scream in terror so I could keep my breath, though it didn't matter. If I let my breath go, I would just die quicker. Then again, that's it!

The crocodile would need air too!

And thats just it, isn't it? It'll be alot longer than when I would need it, but I could try to hold on.

I waited and I waited for this crocodile to swim back up for air, but it seemed like eternity. Then I noticed something: he was dragging me on the bottom up to shore! I was so happy and exhilerated at first.

When the crocodile got me up to shore, he breathed deeply at first, and then, bit down harder onto my foot and rolled over several times. I let out a shriek of pain, terror, and agony. I honestly thought I would die.

I was prooved wrong when the crocodile's jaws suddenly snapped off of my foot. I caught my breath and grabbed my bleeding ankle. I gasped for air to return to my lungs. I looked over to where the crocodile was and saw it being tied up by a very handsome man.

He had a cowlick with two ahoge sticking up and out of it. He had gorgous eyes of forest green that shone in the sun. A bandage was stripped across his nose. His muscles bulged as he struggled to keep the crocodile down. When he finally had the crocodile all tied up, he turned to me and smikled.

"Crikey, that one was fiesty, wasn't he?" He questioned. I nodded slowly and winced in pain as I shifted my ankle. He looked down to it and tisked. "Shame he caused you any trouble, shella! Crocs like him should stop trying to eat pretty women."

A blush creeped up on my face. He bent over and pulled out a roll of bandages. He applied it gently to my ankle, once he had popped it back into place.

"Ow!" I shouted. He frowned.

"I'm sorry. But there, you're all done." He answered calmly. His smile returned almost as quickly as it had gone. I couldn't help but smile as well.

"Thanks for saving me, Mr..." I started.

He chuckled and smiled. "Christian Kirkland at your service!" He squeaked. He took my hand and kissed it gently. My blush hardened and my smile widened. "Who would you happen to be?"

"________." I answered calmly.

"Ah, I should have suspected for such a lovely lady to have a lovely name." He smirked and stood up. "Let's get you home. Can you walk?" He asked.

I nodded, standing up. "Eep!" I shrieked as I began to fall over. Luckily for me, Christian caught me and looked down at me.

"I guess that's a no." He joked. I rolled my eyes as my blush creeped back up on me. "Lucky me then!" He squeaked, lifting me up and walking. My face turned blood red as I buried my wet face into his shirt. He chuckled and kept walking.

"Do you even know where you're going?" I asked.

"Yep!" He answered. "I'm headed to my place so you can heal up before you get back out there!"

I nodded and smiled. I didn't want to go home. Not at all. I didn't want to go to his place either, but where would I go if I didn't want to go home? I just accepted my situation as he opened the door and walked inside.

The place was beautiful. It was very natural looking and was covered with various house plants such as Venus Fly Traps and Pichure Plants. It was very serene looking and made me feel eased.

Very classy.

He sat me down on the couch and smiled. "I'll be right back." he stated, walking to a back room.

When he came back, he had a stack of clothes in his hands. "They'll be big, but I don't think you can go on staying in your bathing suit, no?" He smiled, and wrapped the button-up shirt around me. I smiled, buttoning it up and sliding in the jeans he had got for me.

"Thank you. That was awfullly sweet of you." I whispered. He smirked and nodded.

"Anytime, mate!" He answered calmly. I smiled and looked deeper into his emerald eyes. They were like two magic orbs with a spell cast upon them, telling me to get closer. I tried to fight the urge, though my attempts failed.

I pulled him in close and hugged him tight. He chuckled and hugged me back, patting my back. I smiled and kissed his cheek, making him turn rose-red in the face. I laughed and smiled.

"What was that for?" He asked, his smile very wide.

"Everything you've done for me in the time I've known you. It's not long, but you've done so much for me. My only question is why? Why are you being so kind?" I answered.

"Well I couldn't have just let you die, now, could I?" He replied. I shrugged and nodded. He took my hand and got up beside me. He smiled and looked into my (e/c) eyes. "Now, can I get another one of those?" He asked.

"Another one of what?" I questioned, confused.

"Another kiss, of course!" He squeaked, smiling huge. I rolled my eyes and nodded.

"Sure." I answered, kissing him quickly. He rolled his eyes and pulled me back towords him. "Hey, what are you doing!?" I giggled.

"I'm not done yet!" He yelped. I smiled and kissed him again, letting him wrap his strong arms around my dainty waist. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled away.

"How was that?" I asked, giggling a little bit.

"Perfect!" He answered.

I nodded in satisfaction and lay my head on his shoulder. "Thats good." He kissed the top of my head and smiled.

I don't know what I had to deserve anything that day. Even though I had almost been killed by a sycotic crocodile that day,

I couldn't ask for a better day.
