Coleson |Book 3|

15

Hello! I don't usually write authors notes on this book but I wanted to make an exception to write a thank you note to all of you! I wanted to thank each person individually but that would take too long so I'll compromise.

To the:

37.5% in United States, 3.125% in Canada, 6.25% in United Kingdom, 3.125% in Germany, 3.125% in Nigeria, 3.125% in South Africa, 3. 125% in United Arab Emirates, 9.375% in India, 6.25% in Malaysia, 3.125% in Philippines, 6.25% in Australia, 3.125% in Denmark, and 3.125% in Qatar,

THANK YOU!

I also want to thank the other countries that I couldn't find on the Demographics map on Wattpad. I added up all the percentages and didn't come up with 100% so I know you are out there and I want to thank you too! If I left you your country, tell me! I want to acknowledge all of you because you deserve it!

Thank you so much. We reached 300 reads on this book in the short time that it's actually been up and that is astonishing to me. That hasn't happened on any of my books before and it makes me sooooo happy!

With all this being said, let's go ahead and get on with the chapter!

"Ahhh! Stop!" I yell as Max continues to splash water in my face. "I don't want to get my hair wet, I just had a treatment on it!" I try to swim away from his attack and then crash face first into Cole's chest. I look up and hope to see him there to save me but the deep smirk says other wise. You wouldn't,

"Oh, baby, you know I would." He says and picks me up, launching me across the pool. I scream and flail before I hit the water, sinking down and getting my hair wet. I come up and spit the water out of my mouth. I give Cole a death glare before going back under the water and swimming over to him.

I swim behind him and jump on his back, forcing him under the water. I know he could've stopped me but he didn't. He fell into the water only to drag me with him. I tried to resist him but I went under anyway. He brought me closer and pressed his lips to mine. I pulled him closer, wrapping my legs around his torso.

He brought us above the surface while kissing me. I almost forgot there were other people in the pool with us until I heard someone whistle. I broke apart from him and tried to untangle myself from him. A deep blush covering my cheeks.

"Save it for later, darling!" Hailey yelled and laughed, turning back around to talk to Max. I could see him eyeing her like a piece of meat and Hailey doing the same to him. Perfect match, I thought to myself.

I looked around and noticed Dallas had Sydney cornered in the deep end. Paige and Theo were splashing about on the other end of the pool.

"You asshole!" Paige yelled and started to splash Theo relentlessly. She started to laugh uncontrollable until Theo dived under the water. Paige was then lifted into the air and thrown to the other end of the pool. She came back up sputtering but laughing nonetheless.

"I hate you!" she called and started to swim back over.

"You love me!" he said and pulled her to him, leaning in for a kiss.

She scoffed and turned her head, "You wish." I laughed at her pettiness and turned back to Cole who was also admiring the loving couple. I could see the longing in his eyes, he wanted that too. So did I, but not yet.

I snapped my fingers in front of his face and he flipped his gaze to me, "I'm going to get out, I'm starting to get wrinkly." I say and swim to the side of the pool. I hoist myself out and walk over to the table where the towels are.
