Monster of a Mate (On Hold)

●Chapter 22●

"Cannon ball!" Blake said before jumping into the pool of water.

Might I add a very large one too.

It was only Joseph and I left at the top and although I'm very adventurous.

I need to muster up the courage to jump into a river.

Well I could swim but I'm a bit scared of what could happen in the process of me jumping.

"Okay Belle, can you swim?" he asked.

"Yeah I can. But I'm scared," I said.

"Scared of what? Heights?" he asked.

"No scared of what would happen when I'm jumping," I said.

"Okay. Well we'll go down together," he said, holding my hand and instantly I felt a bit relaxed.

If we go down then we go down together. They say we could be anything, they say we are clever.

I like that song.

"One. Two.-" he said, then I interrupted him.

"Promise you won't let go of my hand?" I said.

What? I need reassurance. I bet you would want some when you're about to jump into this massive pool of river. Especially when there's a mini waterfall flowing into it.

Okay. You can do this. You have Joseph right beside you. You don't have to worry about anything.

"I promise," he said.

"Then let's do this!" I said and jumped.

It was the most scary yet exciting feeling I've ever had. And I loved every moment of it. I want to do this over and over and over again.

Okay so you may be wondering if it's nearing Christmas. Why isn't there snow? And why isn't the water frozen by now? Well let me tell you in this part of USA snow doesn't fall that much and we're in California.

Yup. We live in California.

But we do have snow but it's later like on Christmas Day itself.

I swam up to the top and began breathing again.

God I miss oxygen.

Then I looked around for everyone and they were nowhere.

Where are these people?

Oh they're probably creeping up on me underwater.

I took in air and then went underwater only to find the culprits surprised.

I started chasing them and they tried swimming as fast they could but I could swim so I caught Yasmine's foot and pulled her back.

She swam to the top and so did I.

"Didn't know you could swim," she said, panting.

"Well now you do," I said, smirking.

Rose, Blake, Casper and Joseph popped up.

"I guess I underestimated her," Yasmine said.

"Yeah. She is pretty fast," Blake said.

"Why thank you," I said.

"Wanna race you guys?" Rose asked.

"Oh honey. I thought you'd never ask," Blake said.

"Okay girls versus guys," I said.

Yasmine and Rose swam over to me and we grouped up.

"What's the plan?" Yasmine asked.

"Just do your thing," I said.
