The Short Stories 2

Dirty Little Secret (Part 8)

The last part for this short story with thriller genre. I was actually in rush to finish this before sunset. Hahahha so please forgive me for many errors and mistakes. And I am so sorry for bringing you guys into this dark place... 😅😅😅 There will be at least two more short stories under #TheEclipseLove series but for the time being, I would put this series and this book into on-hold for two reasons; the Holy month and I would focus on 2moons fanfiction in my new book, which the updates will not be daily as this book.

Anyhow,  enjoy!  Do leave a comment, is it a happy ending or not? 😉

====================================

[Third person's POV]

Saturday was a perfect day for swimming. After all the hectic days at office and never-ending tasks in an ever going list. And Sunday should be his lazy butt on the bed day. Lock repeated two flips across the pool. He was a swimmer back then, even managed to become a champion for Central region when he represented his boarding school. But he had to settle for a runner up at national level and lost to the champion from Southern region. And that was the first time he had love at first sight, to a guy. A buff guy with white milk skin and red lips. His name was Apo. But he never met him again until last week, or at least, a copy of him.

Lock was about to complete his rounds when he noticed the same guy that he met last week entering the pool with his swim trunk. Lock was locking his eyes on that person that he almost forgot to keep afloat inside the pool. Stupid, he reprimanded himself. He decided that he should make a move to that guy. Even if that guy was most probably not the same guy he met years ago, but the resemblance was to a perfection. He just needed to test his luck. Perhaps, he hit big time and found his first love that he had been looking for all these years.

But how do I approach him without scaring the shit out of him?

The next thing that happened, had shattered Lock. He saw a beautiful young woman coming close to that guy. She wound her arms around the other guy's arm. They seemed like... a couple. Sighed in disappointment, Lock continued doing more and more laps. He just wanted to get the crushing feelings inside his chest out, at that moment. He didn't care the looks from other people's eyes who saw him with puzzling looks as he was vigorously swimming like there was no tomorrow.

After nth time of rounds, he felt a knott inside his calf muscle but he ignored it. Lock kept on swimming. The pain inside his chest was far greater than the emerging pain from his calf. Until he reached its point, where the calf demanded more attention. His left leg was cramp and that limb stop moving but kept on contracting hard. Lock yelped in pain and felt like himself began to drown. He was in the middle of the pool and had no immediate thing to hold onto. He tried to shout for help but he began to drown and his voice was muffled by the sound of water splashing.

And everything came to a total black for Lock.

A sudden brush over his lips gave electrical surged to Lock's brain. That soft and sweet lips latching on his lips and he felt a warm breath entered his mouth. Whose the lips belong to? Lock felt hard pushes on his sternum and it was freaking painful. Stop pushing, he wanted to scold.

He could feel his eyebrows were knitting together and his eyes were wincing to bear the pain. He cracked open his eyes and a beautiful handsome angle from heaven was kneeling on his right side giving him CPR. His vision was still blurry, but he was sure that his heart beat once again because of this guy. Whoever this guy was, his heart belonged to him.

"We've got him back! He's alive."

Lock was still weak and he coughed out some water. He couldn't really moved his limbs but he was breathing alright. He was in recovery position, lying on his lateral left. His left calf still hurt but he was thankful that he was alive. He felt his body was wrapped with thick white towel and another small white towel was wiping his face and dried his hair. And Lock could appreciate the details of the guy's face from his vantage point.
