Too Fast (A Connor Franta Fanfiction)

Chapter 8

^Lilly's P.O.V.^

Ricky set up his camera and quickly started the race. We both dived into the water and I started swimming like a fish.

You want the truth? I love water to the death!! I love swimming and being in water just relaxes me.

I quickly swam to the end of the pool and swam back, expecting to see Connor.

'I know I'm good but I'm not that good! He had to have beat me.', I thought.

I looked up at Ricky smiling and looked around for Connor.

For some reason I couldn't find him, so I turned back to the water. Then, I see a very dazed Connor swimming towards the pool wall.

'OH MY GOD!!! He's gonna die!! Lilly do something!!", My brain yelled at me.

I jumped back in the water as fast as I could. I know what you're thinking, okay?

I could've yelled "Watch out for the wall!!" or something but I panicked!!

You can't blame me!! I'M A NICE PERSON!

All of a sudden, Connor flipped back and missed the wall by like an inch. Relieved, I started to swim slower and tagged behind him.

He got out of the water with a satisfied grin and looked up at Ricky expectantly.

'Wait...Does he think he won??' I wanted to laugh but I was still shaken up at the thought of him almost dying, so I just smiled.

Ricky and I exchanged looks and we walked over to show him the video. I hoped he wouldn't feel too embarassed.

So he watched the video and like a million emotions flickered in his eyes.

He gave a weird laugh and I felt a little sorry. Thinking back to the video, I asked him what he was thinking about and he tried to brush it off.

'You're not getting away with almost giving me a heart attack, Franta'

He confessed and my cheeks decided they wanted me to look like a tomato.

Connor and Ricky exchanged a look and Ricky slowly started walking away like he knew something I didn't.

'Great I love secret morse code that I'm not a part of! -note the sarcasm....OMG Connor wants me to go upstairs with him! He seems like a good guy, unlike someone I don't want to think about.'

'Lilly play it cool...be casual.'

'Haha he's cute when he rambles.'

We walked inside and he led me upstairs. We passed some picture frames but instead of people they were cats.

"Aww they're soo cute! I want to pet them!!"

"Yeah this one is Pre and that's Sam." He said pointing them out. "They're coming to live with us soon"

"You should probably keep them away from me because if I meet them I will fall in love with them and keep them forever!"

"Nope, they're mine for all eternity" he winked teasingly.

"Noo!!", I yelled giving him 'the look'

'The look' is when I make my blue eyes really big and glossy and I half pout.

"Okay, okay! Just don't give me that face again...please? Pretty sure you could make me volunteer for Hunger Games with that." He laughed/ begged.

"Ha ha! Victory!! It works on everyone.." I said throwing my hands in the air. "..the only person who didn't fall for 'the look' was Jo-" I cut myself off and quickly looked away.

"Umm..who?"

"Erm..no one..nothing...never mind" I rambled.

Just thinking about him made me shiver with fear.

"Hey, you must be cold..I'll get you a blanket...my room is the last door on your right..I'll be right back" he said

I nodded and he walked back downstairs.

'Great Lilly! You almost told him about Josh.. No one wants to hear a sob story about your bipolar ex-boyfriend...You just met Connor, okay? Don't scare him off. Just keep it low.' I thought walking towards the room.
