He Saved Me

Chapter sixty six

We pull up to this beautiful island. There isn't a boat in sight for miles. The shore is barely visible.

"Leah, welcome" Mason smiles as we step off the boat, onto the sand.

The water surrounding the island is even more clear.

"Come on, lets go" Ellie smiles, dragging my hand.

We walk for a little until we come to these beautiful pools, they look almost like hot springs.

"This is my favorite part of this trip" Brooks smiles.

"Leah, welcome to Italys most beautiful, in our opinions, hot springs" Mason dramatically says.

"Wow" I breathe out. The water is a beautiful turquoise color. I can see the steam escaping the water as it flows down the rocks. There is a small house like structure at the top, someone must have lived here before.

"Get in" Ellie motions for me to join them. The water feels nice against my sore muscles. I instantly relax, dunking my head under the water so it's not as frizzy.

We spend hours on the island, burying each other in the sand, jumping in and out of the hot springs and just enjoying our time.

"Come on kids, we're going back. Your mother and I are going to dinner tonight" Jim calls us back onto the boat.

"We'll be back, don't worry. I love this place" Tara smiles at the sad looks on our faces.

I nod, making my way back onto the boat. 

I lay down at the back, placing my hat over my face.

"Babe" Mason throws his arm around me. "Yeah?" I take my hat off to look at him.

"What do you want to do later?" Mason asks, spelling random words out on my bare stomach.

"Mm, I don't know" I shrug, placing my arm over my eyes.

Mason puts his sunglasses on my eyes, squinting. "Thank you, but you can have them" I blush, guilt filling me.

"Use them, I'm fine" He closes his eyes, continuing the drawings.

I smile, running my hand through his hair. 

"Tired?" I laugh.

"A little" He grins at me, his skin getting tanner by the second. I hope mine is doing the same. I can't stand looking so pasty. 

Within an hour, maybe a little more we're back at the house, docking the boat.

"Have fun you two. Thank you" I give them a quick hug, following Mason. 

We quickly get onto the four-wheeler and drive back to the house. 

"I need a shower" Mason closes the door, behind me, taking the bag from me.

"So do I. You shower and I'll make us some snacks" I give him a quick kiss and make my way into the kitchen.

I adjust my dress and hat on my head, quickly washing my hands and half of my arms so the food remains clean. 

I quickly put together some fruit salad and bring the bowls up to the room, careful to not touch the bed. 

Soon, the shower turns off and Mason steps out of the bathroom, shirtless and a pair of basketball shorts hanging on his torso. He rubs a towel through his hair, trying to get the heavy water out.

"I made some fruit salad" I motion to his bowl as I tear through my bad, trying to find some clothes to change into. 

I rush into the bathroom, desperate to tame my hair. I don't mind the salt feeling on my body, I just can't stand the way my hair reacts to salt water.
