The Welcoming

Chapt. 22 Ash pov (play video)

We sat in the sand together looking out on to the water. I closed my eyes taking a deep breath trying to take in the moment.

" Thank you..." I spoke in almost a whisper... but I know he heard me. I felt something cover my hand. It was warm and comforting. When I opened my eyes he was holding my hand gently but looking the other way.

"Jordan?..." I tried to get closer to get him to let me see his face but he stood up. "Let's get in the water" he said dismissing what just happened while taking off his shirt.

I started blushing immediately after seeing what he was hiding under the suit I never seen him take off. He had tattoos on his wrist and back and chest. He was more built then I could ever imagine.

I caught myself blushing and shoved my face in the shirt trying to blink he image out my head.

"You coming?" He asked grabbing my arm then pulling me up.

"Uhhhhhh....mhmm yeah just um..." I was so embarrassed I turned my back to him and started undressing. Once I was done pulling down my pants I was suddenly lifted in the air.

"You're to slow dia." He spoke quickly and all I could do was scream and laugh holding on to him as tight as I could.

" Put me down!" I yelled laughing.

"If that's what you wish." He smirked and threw my in the water.

When I opened my eyes they didn't burn from the water. I looked around and it was gorgeous. Schools of fish swimming by and a array of colors as far as eye can see.

While admiring I felt something tug me then pull me up from the water.

" Did you forget I was up here?" He chuckled looking up at me then putting me down.

I couldn't help but smile "Maybe..." I splashed him laughing and we had a splashing fight. At some point he disappeared and while I was looking for him I was pulled under the water again.

When I looked at Jordan's face he was smiling. He was so handsome it made me want to jump on him right there. He signaled for me to come here and when I came he held my hand and swam downward.

It felt like we were swimming forever. After a while I found my mind wondering until I realized we were swimming into a hole. I stopped and tugged on him to see what was happening and he stopped and smiled at me again. It was warm and welcoming I couldn't help but smile back.

I continued following him deciding to trust him. In a few seconds we found ourself in a under water cave. He sat on the floor feet still in the water helping me up.

It was beautiful. The walls had tiny stones in them that made them sparkle.

"Rubies, diamonds,...any stone you can think of really are in these walls." He said while I walked along the walls running my fingers over them.

"This place is gorgeous!" I said in amazement.

"Yeah it's a part of a now in active underwater volcano. Hasn't been active for a good 50 years." He said starring at one stone in particular. This one wasn't like the rest. It was a dark purple shade that changed colors as you put it in different lights.

"What is that?" I asked walking up to him as he picked it up.

He rolled it in his hand and looked at me "it's a zaconian orcade. It was made by a friend. She's gone now but she made it to where this cave and only this cave can make these type of stones." He kind of looked sad. All and any joy that he had disappeared.

His phone rang and almost like jumping out a trans he went to his old mean face. He answered and spoke for a few minutes but I could barley make out what he was saying.

"I'm on my way." He whispered then looked at me. "It's time to go." he jumped back in the water and I swam after him. After I got back to my dorm I was dying to tell kitty what had happened so she could help me make sense of it all.
