Amber felt good after trashing out all her thoughts. It felt like having a great burden removed from her chest and she went back being her old, cheerful self as she danced to the rhythm of the loud EDM playing.
Amber sneaked her way behind Kris and took his hands to force them into a funny dance. "Come on Kris, who told me it was gonna be fun?"
Kris' arms dangled like spaghetti in Amber's hands. Fed up with how unenergetic Kris was being, an evil plan hatched in Amber's mind. She turned him around and asked for his phone and wallet.
Though puzzled with Amber's unexpected request, Kris still handed over her what she asked for. Kris noticed the mischievous glint in Amber's eyes as she looked at his things for a moment, then stuffed them in the pockets of her shorts.
"Don't you dare chug them into the pool-"
"Anything else in your pocket?" Amber cut him off.
"No, but Amber, why-"
He never got to finish his sentence because Amber yelled, "Cause I'm gonna chug you into the pool!"
Kris, who was totally unguarded, lost his balance when Amber pushed him. That didn't mean he wasn't quick enough to respond– he hooked his leg around hers and pulled Amber against his chest.
"No no no no no, NO KRIS I HAVE YOUR PHO-" She screamed but never got to finish her sentence.
SPLASH!
They hit the water with Amber clinging onto Kris' shirt for dear life. Someone nearby shouted 'Cannonball' and all of a sudden people were jumping into the pool with each beat of the music, causing explosions of various sizes all over the pool.
Kris threw back his head and laughed. It had been some time since he last felt genuinely happy. He ran Amber's messy hair which was dripping all over her face through his fingers, still holding Amber in his arms gently.
"Are you mad? Now your phone is all wet!" Amber worriedly examined his phone, which would not respond.
"Never mind, like you said, it's too old anyway," Kris was beaming. "Is yours alright though?"
"Yeah, mine's waterproof... Speaking of that, wanna take a selfie?"
"You read my mind," said Kris. He stood by Amber's side and move his face next to hers.
"We look like glo-in-the-dark Avatars," Amber laughed. The pictures taken were all blurry because her arm was shaking. Kris took over the phone and held it up high.
When they took the phone closer to check the results, Amber noticed some people at the back photo-bombing them. She turned around to say hello.
After some distant shouting over the music, Kris held the phone high once again to take in their new friends in the shot.
"Lucky we weren't wearing your sneakers." Kris said, and they looked at each other, then quickly removed their flip-flops to place them by the pool. Knowing that nobody would ever steal the shoes, they continued dancing and joking around and eventually went over to talk to their new friends, who apparently were from Japan. They danced and played with the floats shaped like flamingos and doughnuts, until people started dispersing and the crowd began to thin.
"We should leave too," Kris suggested. They climbed out of the pool to put on their shoes, their knees knobbly after losing the support of water buoyancy. It was also extremely breezy that night.
"Feels great to be just like a normal person and not like, elevated in society," Amber said, putting her arms around her chest and shuddering. Kris suddenly noticed Amber's black bra and her slender waist showing through her light grey shirt, which had become translucent. Blushing, he quickly looked away. Although he was cold, Kris took off his shirt. He twisted it and drained the water into one of the flower pots by the pool.
Amber licked her lips and stole glances at Kris' body, which looked great; although it wasn't as incredibly muscular as The Rock's. She had seen his arms when they played basketball together back then, but never his bare chest and abs - the full package.
His abs, though not The-Rock-solid nevertheless flashed like fabulous, whitened teeth at Amber. They made her feel guilty about being lazy and always finding excuses for skipping her workout sessions. She vowed to return to her workout routine once she went back to Korea. Amber quickly stopped staring when Kris turned round. He handed her his black shirt, looking away uneasily.
"Your, er...bra is showing," he said after clearing his throat.
Amber looked down and found- oh dear! She had chosen to wear those black ones because she was planning to stay in her room all day. At least she was wearing something inside, thank god. She quickly pulled Kris' top over and patted his arms (which somehow felt more muscular than ever), "Thanks."
"What time is it?" Kris asked while they waited for the lifts. Amber checked her phone and told him it was twelve minutes to one.
"I guess that means good morning," Kris yawned.
"Good morning," she replied. "Zou-san."
Seeing his surprised look, she said, "Henry taught me some Cantonese."
They entered the lift with a couple of other people so they stopped talking. After walking out at their floor, Amber patted Kris' arm sleepily and wished him goodnight. After that they went back to their own rooms.
Except they couldn't.
"Oh, I'm still holding your card," Amber gave him his stuff and then realised something. "My card!"
"Your card!" Kris said at the same time. "Maybe I could crawl through the balcony and...Nah."
So they waited for the lifts again. After getting an extra card from the counter, the lift arrived very soon as everyone had already gone back to their rooms. By then, Kris was sniffling and shivering with cold.
Amber returned the shirt back to him, saying, "Put it on, it's okay."
Kris did as told and immediately felt the warmth from Amber surrounding him. It felt great.
Finally they returned to their own rooms to get a nice, hot bath. Amber really wanted to just head to bed, but her mum always made her dry her hair. Luckily she had short hair so it was all dry after she blew it with a hairdryer for a while.
She lay on the bed, squinting as a mild headache started to kick in. Amber finish half the water in a bottle by the bed and forced herself to sleep. Like the other nights in hotel rooms, she felt lonely. If only she had her sister, or Jackjack, or Tuna by her side. Amber grabbed an extra pillow by the head of the bed and hugged it, the smell of fresh sheets slowly cradling her to sleep.
