As my body went underneath the water, I closed my eyes and held my breath. The thing is, I don't know how to swim. So, my only stamina was not to panic. It wasn't realized by me that, someone was holding me. His one hand was over my mouth and another was on my waist. When I turned towards him , my gaze met with a pair of blue pools which resembled the blue ruby. It really was sparkling like an aqua gem. I tried to get rid of his hold but he was far too strong for it. He signaled me silent and focused his gaze on something. Following his gaze, I found out that, a few shadows had fallen above us which means there were people, standing on the edge of the pool.

Is he helping me?

But then again, it was hard for me to keep my breath for that long. My lungs were burning in the need of air.

Grabbing his hand tightly, I tried to remove it as I needed to gulp a lot of air though knowing that I was under water. But again he didn't let me breath. Shaking my head violently, I silently cried in frustration and tiredness.

Relief flooded over my body when I felt him swimming upwards. As soon as my head was above the water surface, I gulped as much as air I could. My heart was hammering painfully against my chest and it felt like that it would blast anytime soon.

"Easy, easy. Don't breath so fast." His voice pulled me back into reality and then I realized that he was still holding my body.

Understanding my discomfort, he swam towards the walls of the pool. My body felt at ease when I was out of the water. After calming down for a few minutes, I observed the male in front of me who nearly brought my heart in my mouth. His disheveled wet hair and masculine frame gave him a special charm. But all I was thinking about his eyes. Those blue pools were so deep that it felt like I would drown in them if I stare at them any longer.

Yeah, he is cute.

"Do you find me attractive?"

His words made me so embarrass that I felt that my cheeks were burning hotly. However,the world came crashing down on my shoulders when I remembered our previous encounterment.

"Are you out of your mind?!" I looked at him disbelievingly.

"Why ask that?"

"Why? YOU ARE TELLING ME WHY? I JUST GOT NEARLY KILLED BECAUSE OF YOU AND YOU ARE WHYING ME? HOW COULD YOU? DO YOU EVEN....... MMPH!"

He clamped my mouth shut with right his hand and once more I couldn't breath or speak.

" Just chill girl. I was just helping you. I know that you were trying to hide so, I just helped you out."

My struggling discontinued when I heard that.

"How did you know?"

" I was right over the water when I saw your attempts to hide yourself. But you never noticed me so I decided to help you out and have some fun."
