Grace G POV
We had the pool to ourselves. I grabbed Zayns hand and he looked back nervous. I sighed and gave him a hug.
"It's not hard. Hold your breath, kick your legs." He pulled me tighter, obviously nervous. "I'll save you, I promise. I do have lifeguard training." I smiled and he chuckled.
We walked in slowly and he held my hand tighter. I rubbed circles in his hand and he took a deep breath.
"Go under water and just hold your breath for 10 seconds. Can you do that?" I smiled and he nodded. He went under and I started counting.
4...5...6...7...8...9...10
I pulled him up and he smiled. The boys were all watching suspiciously. I swam to where neither of us could touch while Zayn stayed where he could.
"C'mon, Zaynie." I persuaded as I swam back and took his hand. We started going deeper into the water.
As soon as he couldn't touch, he went under. I quickly wrapped my arms around his waist and pulled his to a nearby edge.
"You alright?" I raised an eyebrow and he nodded.
"Grace, stop this is a stupid idea." Liam said nervously, I was hurt by Liam's words but understood.
"Liam, shutup. I want to learn." Zayn snapped and I half smiled.
"Let's try again." I smiled and we went again. And again. And again. And again.
And again.
"Are you ok?" Zayn asked me, I nodded and smiled. "Alright, can we go again?" He smiled and I nodded in response.
"Now, kick your legs and move your arms around to stay above." He nodded and I began to pull him in.
My feet came off the shallow end, meaning Zayn was next. I watched his feet come off.
He started kicking and moving his arms.
"ZAYN! YOU'RE DOING IT." I squealed and he laughed, he started to move around. I went to the shallow end and threw my hands on my face.
Crying tears of joy. I felt like my heart could burst, I was so proud of him. The boys clapped and cheered as they jumped in and put Zayn on their shoulders.
They dropped Zayn off at the shallow end and he hugged me.
"Thank you, thank you, so much.." He whispered
"I'm so proud of you, you did amaZAYN." I giggled and wiped away my tears.
"We have to celebrate!" Louis laughed as he dried off.
"I'll invite everyone for a party." I smiled.
"Y'know they have a roof pool, bar, and party area! But, the bar is closed until later tonight." Harry frowned and I chuckled.
"Then we will have it tonight for you boys. Let's say 7:00pm for happy hour?" I smiled and they nodded vigorously. "Great! Lemme call Grace, Taylor, and Luke."
I dried off and dialed Grace's number.
