Chapter Eight
Cole POV
"We can go behind the arch to change" " we're going in the water?" my face must look like a picture, "yes? Is there a problem?"
"No, I bet it's cold?" "yeah but where's your sense of an adventure" "I suppose we came this far, so..." "that's my girl" Mitch smiled and made his way to the pool.
I had butterflies when he said my girl, if only. "If you want to go first I will keep a look out, with my back turned of course"Mitch handed me his duffle bag, "thank you" " your welcome"
I opened his duffle bag and pulled out the wetsuit and noticed there was one for him he must have purchased it in the Seaworthy Surf Shop when I was trying on mine, there was towels from the Lodge in there too. I changed quickly in my Red and black wetsuit.
I could see the back of Mitch, how can someone look good from the back, even though his clothes you can see how strong, muscular and powerful he was by his stance, this is worrying, no one has ever had this effect on, I liked Darius but I never admired him as much as Mitch, maybe it was infatuation with Darius, it had only been over two days with Mitch but I felt so much more."Ready" Mitch turned around, and walked to where I changed." I will change now"
" Don't worry, I can keep a lookout" I stood in the same place as Mitch. "Don't worry Cole, I'm not shy, turn around if you want"Mitch was teasing me again, I didn't have it in me to challenge him, "No I'm fine here" I didn't realize Mitch crept behind me. "Are you sure, I have been told I have a nice chest" making me jump, I turned to see he had his wetsuit on, he still looked mouthwatering.
"Don't worry, I can't help myself, I'm fully clothed" "shall we go in" "after you?" he's smirking at me, "maybe together"
Mitch nodded, he took my hand surprising me and walked in the pool with me in tow. I didn't have time to dwell on us holding hands, "oh my, it’s Cold" I could see Mitch putting on a brave face, "we should keep moving to warm up" "ok, it's freezing Mitch"
"Come with me and swim by the waterfall, it will take your mind off it"
We were facing each other at the bottom of the waterfall, but not directly, I could feel the spray of water coming from the waterfall that hid my body. I started to get use to the cold, Mitch looked like he was too.
"This is great what made you chose coming here?""back at the auction house, the woman offered this part of the package, well one of many?" "Oh, good choice" it was.
"That's not quite it, when she offered the different packages, I didn't want Paris because of my recent split up, and she mentioned swimming in the fairy pools and remembered you said you liked swimming, so that's how we ended up here"
That was sweet, he remembered what I said, I just stared at him, not knowing what to say, then he said something out of the blue "would you rather if it was Darius here instead of me?"
I could see Mitch's face he looked like he regretted asking the question, not sure why? I knew the answer, I wouldn't change this weekend with any other place or any other man, it was the best I have ever felt, but not sure what to say to Mitch.
"You don't need too" "no I don't" I blurred out, "are you sure, he's perfect remember?" he smirks at me again, "you're really annoying sometimes?"I turned around to get away from him, Mitch swam closer to make me look at him, I realized how close our bodies were and felt uneasy. "What are you doing" I whispered, "I'm not trying to upset you, I'm glad that you like being here with me and not him" I could feel my heart pounding, and whispered again "I do"
Mitch lightly pushes me to the rock wall so I was trapped in his arms, he stares at me and kisses me gently, I was in shock at first but I kissed back, Mitch lifts my arms above my head holding them in place while the other hand is placed on my face, he brushes his thumb over my full lips, it felt sensual, I lifted my legs and wrapped them around his waist.
Mitch was taking by surprise but smiled, placed his mouth on mine, he was rougher this time, I enjoyed this even more, I groaned.
Mitch stepped back letting go of me, I wanted to whimper, why did he stop, his face looked torn."Are you alright" "Yes, I got carried away with you and I shouldn't of" why would he say that, "don't worry, I can pretend it didn't happen if that's what you want"
I was upset saying what I said but if he was having doubts and out of embarrassment I rather pretend to him and myself it didn't matter, "no, I wanted to kiss you, well I wanted to kiss you last night as well"
"Why didn't you last night?" I was shocked he said that, "because I feel like I'm taking advantage of you, the auction, on your own with me here, I just don't want you to get the wrong impression of me""Yes, we met under strange circumstances, but you have been a gentleman around me, a friend and I have had the best time ever, what I think of you, I have nothing but the highest respect and admiration for you"
He seemed taking back at first, then leaned in and started kissing me again and I didn't deny him.
"We should go soon, we have been in the pool for over an hour" I didn't realize how long we had made out for, I didn't want it to end, "but I like it here?" "I do too, but I don't want you catching a cold?"I went up to Mitch and started to kiss him to distract him, which worked, "come on I will help you out of your wet clothes" Mitch winked, "ok, you have convinced me"
Mitch stood with his back to me as before while I dried myself and changed, I was slightly disappointed, it would have been nice if he helped me but he was only teasing me.
It wasn't long before we started to walk back to the car park.
Jimmy took us back to the Lodge; I was about to run upstairs to shower when Mitch stopped me."Would you like dinner out, I have asked Jimmy to take us into town, we have half an hour?" "yeah, I not going to be long"
I went to walk up the stairs, when Mitch gently pulls me back and smiles, "what now?" "no goodbye kiss" I kissed his lips
"better?" "yes, I will be expecting this all the time now" he smirked, "I don't mind" I winked
I ran quickly upstairs before Mitch could stop me again, " need to be a lot quicker Mr. Clark is you want to catch me"
