Ch. 19
(Two years, four months later, midsummer)
"Baby!" I called loudly, running a towel through my hair. That day my chest had fully healed and looked great. Well, it had already healed, I just took three months to work out to build muscle. It was early June and I was ready to get out of this apartment and into the huge pool at the community center. Hannah hadn't seen my chest since senior year, and even then it was only in photos. Now I was gonna show her my chest and stomach to down low on my hips, as my swim trunks were looser and showed my V-line.
"Yeah?" Hannah's voice is heard right outside the bathroom door.
I opened the door and stepped back to give her a clear view. I watched her eyes widen a bit as she stared at me. After a long moment, she quickly stepped forward and ran her hands all along my torso as she kissed me deeply and hungrily. Let's just say the kiss quickly progressed and I loved hearing her moan and gasp for me up against the bathroom wall.

Two hours later, Hannah and I were calmed down enough to actually go swimming. We walked out of the room and stepped down the stairs to the first floor from our floor, the second. I don't like being higher than the third floor.
I held Hannah's hand as we walked out of the doors into the fresh air, mixed with the smell of chlorine from the pool.
We set our towels on two chairs that were sort of away from the rest. Hannah took off the shirt and shorts she had over her purple swimsuit and her flip-flops. I waited patiently for her.
When she was ready, Hannah took my hand in hers and counted to three. After three, we ran and jumped into the deep end of the pool, our fingers still intertwined.
I resurfaced and took in some air, then shook my hair out of my face as Hannah came up and did the same. I smiled at her and held up our hands, still holding together. I kissed her hand.
"See? No matter what we jump into, we will still be together through it all. We just have to stay strong," I said. Hannah nodded and kissed me. I kissed back, then pulled away quickly and splashed her.
"Felix!" Hannah gasped, then grinned. "You're gonna get it!"
"I'd like to see you try!" I teased, then quickly dove underwater.
Hannah didn't know that I swim best underwater. I like to consider myself a shark or an alligator when I'm under. More alligator, because I come up to breathe and it's quick and then I go back under.
I grinned to myself as I swam under her, then shot up, grabbed her legs, and carried her with me as I blasted out of the water. I heard her scream, then felt her hold onto me tightly. When we leveled out, I let go of her so she could float on her own.
"Felix! You fucking suck!" She exclaimed, hitting me on my arm. I scratched my stubble and grinned at her. She giggled. "You're such a dork," she said, then kissed me deeply.
"But I'm your dork," I sighed happily.
