All throughout the day all I could think about were those beautiful blue eyes.

Even though she had managed to avoided me the entire day, I was completly infatuated with her. I didn't know who she is but I knew I had to get to know her.

I was in the locker room changing into my swim suit, getting ready for practice when the doors opened and she walked in.

When she saw me huffed and moved to the other side of the room. I chuckled and finished getting ready and walked out but not before I caught a flash of her long legs.

Walking into the pool room, no one payed me any mind and that was another reason I had joined the swim team. They don't care about rumors or whose who or what not.

They just care about swiming and getting results at nationals. I quickly washed off in the shower before diving into the deep end of the pool.

When I was swimming I was at my most peaceful, it was just me and the water and it felt as if all my troubles and worries went away. Nothing could touch me when I was swimming. I swam for probably an hour before I decided to get out. I swam to the ladder and pulled myself out when Lindsey, another swim team member approached me.

"The new girl is good." She said and I turned around and saw the beauty from before as she glided through the water. Her movements were so smooth and graceful it looked as if the water parted for her.

I found myself mesmerised by the way her arms cut through the water, the way the muscles in her back flexed, just the way she moved. When she got to my end of the pool and went under to go back, I immediately dove in after her and caught up with her in an instant.

When we were almost back to the other end of the pool I switched into her lane and swam up along side her and just as she was about to go under to swim back again. I wrapped one arm around her waist and pulled her against me.

She started to flail in the water and I had to kick with my feet to get to the wall. I leaned back against it, still kicking my feet as she spat out water.

"Are you alright?" I asked her and I felt her freeze up against me before she whipped her head in my direction.

"You almost drowned me!" She screamed when she finally came back to herself and I chuckled and squeezed her tighter.

"I'm sorry if I scared you, I just couldn't help myself." I said and she blushed then looked forward. I wondered if she realised she wasn't  even trying to get out of my hold. I wasn't going to be the one to tell her though, it felt right to hold her like this, as if this was where she belonged.

"So you try to drown me!?" She shouts again and I lean forward to nuzzle the back of her neck and feel her shiver against me.

"I wasn't trying to drown you amanti." I told her. The word just seemed to flow out of me and seemed to be made just for her.

"My name is Avery, not  Ammanti or whatever it was you just called me." She said still not trying to get away from me.

"Amanti. It's latin, it means lover." I whisper in her ear and she shivers again.

"Lo-ove-r-r?" She stuttered out as I continued nuzzling her neck and I chuckled.

"How can you call me your lover? I don't even know your name?" She breathed out as I now moved to nuzzle the spot behind her ear.

"Mason Castellanos." I continue to whisper in her ear.

"Castellanos?" She asked while pronouncing it wrong.

"Castellanos, It's Greek." I told her.

"That still doesn't explain why you called me your lover when I don't even know you." She says and I kiss the side of her neck before releasing her.

She moved to the wall of the pool and floated in front of me.

"Let me change that, go out on a date with me." I ask calmly but on the inside I'm a nervous wreck. I've never been affected by any person like this before. There is a need for me to get to know her and to be near her. It's frightening how strong this feeling is.

"I'm sorry, I can't." She says and looks away from me. There's a sharp ache in my chest but I ignore it and focus on the beauty in front of me.

I reach one hand forward and take her chin in my hand and turn her face back towards me, I run my fingers up the side of her face and brush a wet lock of her hair behind her ear.

"Why not?" I ask and she blushes

"I'm already seeing someone." She whispers and I feel another ache.

"So you have a boyfriend or girlfriend?" I ask and she shakes her head.

"I met him about a week ago when we first moved her and we've already went out on two dates. We're not boyfriend and girlfreind but he already asked me out again for tonight." She whispered and I smiled.

"Why are you smiling?" She asked confused.

"Because if your not official that means I still have a chance." I tell her and I grin, she smiles and shakes her head. I reach for her hand under the water and kiss the back of it while looking in her eyes.

"I would like to formally ask you out on a date for tomorrow." I tell her and she blushes and mumbles an ok. My heart swells and I feel as if I'm on top of the world.

I reach over and pull her back into me and kiss her cheek before releasing her and climbing out the pool.

"I'll see you tomorrow amanti." I say and she blushes again and I chuckle at her cuteness.

I rushed into the locker room to change, I had a meeting to get to and as much as I want to spend more time with Avery, I had work to do.

I hope who ever this guy is she's seeing is ready for some heavy competition.
