He parked the car and tapped me because i kinda fell asleep. "hey, asspenis. wake up. we're here" yeah. he calls me that now. but whatever, let him do whatever he wants. my time here is limited only, anyways. i unbuckled the seatbelt and got off. i was astonished by the view. it was so pretty.
he took me to the lake. it was gloomy and cloudy but i didn't mind. i actually preffered the place with this setting. it looked more homey and cozy. i will definitely be going here when i have some problems or just want some alone time. aka, everyday.
"you like it?" he asked, stars shining in his eyes, they look like the galaxy, wanting to suck me in the black hole and never return me. he had a proud smile on his face as he turned to look at the view with his hands crossed in his chest. i hummed and nodded.
he suddenly took my hand and i jumped at the sudden skinship but he didn't seem to notice. i lower my head to not show any sign of emotion.
we somehow ended up on the swing, that apparently him and his friends made, long ago. he said that this place belonged to them, their parents bought it for them since they were 9 years old. they also made a treehouse which was again, comfy and warm.
"so, tell me something about yourself" he says with his deep, but soothing voice. the swings were placed perfectly just in front of the lake. I turn to look at him. I don't even know myself. I'm dying. I'm breaking apart. Do you know the way out? But there isn't one. I'm going to just disappear one day and you'll probably just forget i ever existed just like they did.
"what do you mean?" was all i could say. he gave me a serious look. "you. say something about yourself" he said once again. I rolled my eyes. "well duh, i understand that. i just don't know what to say....there's nothing really important about me" i admit. he frowned.
"you're important. everyone is important Ash, don't think of yourself like that. Since you don't know how to start, i guess i'll do it. Hello, i'm the most handsome, hottest, muscle-man on Earth. Gray Carpenter." he says with a smirk. this asshole i swear.
"wow, good for you. wish i had your confidence Gay." he hit me playfully. "what'd you just say?! Hey, my name is not 'Gay' it's 'Gray' thanks" He says as he tries to intimidate me but fails because of the cute pout plastered on his face. He suddenly moves closer and stars leaning towards me.
My heart is beating so loud i feel like it's going to jump out of my chest. my eyes widen as i gulp in nervousness. "What the fuck are you doing??" when he heard those words, his smirk grew even bigger and i wanted to punch his face so bad.
I try to push him away but of course i fail to push his strong and firm chest. "get away you little shit or i will punch you" i warn but he shrugs it off and continues to lean closer until we were only a few meters apart. he takes my hand and pulls me closer.
Next thing i know, i was underwater gasping for air as i swing my arms up to find land. I open my eyes once i reached the top and can finally breathe again. I know i want to die but i don't wanna die like this. I want it to be private and well-planned and not get drowned by a handsome fucking stranger.
My eyes widen as my heart was beating louder and faster than before. I was so shocked i thought i was going to die. I suddenly felt arms around my waist so i started swatting my hands to wherever the hands were coming from and splashed water on them. The other hand grabbed both of mines and put it down.
"Hey, hey chill. It's me, Gray. I'm so sorry for pushing you in the water i thought you could swim. I'm so fucking stupid oh mt god, let's get you over here." he says as he continues to curse at himself in a low voice while he carries me to the land while i sat there, in shock and fear. I didn't know how to swim. I should've told him.
He says something inaudible before he dashes to another direction and i was left with wet clothes and a beautiful view of the lake and the night sky. The moon was shining really bright, stars looked astonishing as always. I froze when i felt warmth wrapped around my body and calmed down when i realized he had put a towel around me. He held my shoulders out of worry and concern as he looked me in the eyes. I stared at them like they were my drug.
"Are you okay? You look so cold i'm really sorry. You're probably traumatized right now, God i'm so stupid please forgive me." he says. I gulp.
"uhh...i'm fine. I just got really shocked i didn't realize i was in water."
"i'm Thalassophobic" i say. He looked even more guilty now and i kind of felt bad. He didn't mean to do that because he doesn't know that i have Thalassophobia.
-He hugged me for warmth. I felt at home in his arms. Even though i don't know how it feels like to be at home, this was the best way i could describe it. And i wouldn't wish for anything more.
