Monae's POV

"Nae!...Nae!!" I could hear him shout out for me in panic, anguish laced in his voice too as he jumped into the water to rescue me, I heard all these a little faintly as I was slowly losing consciousness.

I tried rearing my head out of the water so he could see me but I couldn't, I was sinking deeper and deeper into the water every second and I felt water slushing in my ears, nose and my eyes were hurting from the water. Breathing was quite a problem, I couldn't breathe properly as every oxygen in my body seemed to seep out even after I tried holding my breath sometime after I fell in the water.

I thought I was going to die, I thought I was until as if my a stroke of luck, I felt Michy's arms wrap around me. He pulled me out of the water as he carried me into his arms then laid me on the floor. He turned me on my side and as he did, the water started to drain out of my mouth and nose before I was laid on my back again.

He pressed my chest to clear my airways before he performed mouth to mouth resuscitation on me till I fully regained consciousness and opened my eyes. Those beautiful hazel eyes met instantly mine, he smiled a smile that held so many emotions that I even got lost in them.

"Thank God!" We said in unison for the third time today.

It's such a relief that I didn't lose total consciousness back there in the water because if I had, I wouldn't know what would have been now. Dead? Or lying in the hospital due to grave complications?

My death would have been my fault if had died, I didn't try to commit suicide or anything. You wondering how we moved from staring at each other sensually to Michy rescuing me?

Well.... I stupidly took steps back as I suddenly felt conscious of what I was wearing, I felt as if I was butt naked in his eyes and I have no idea what came over me to take those stupid steps back, steps that if it weren't for the timely intervention of Michy, I would be on my way now to meet my mummy in heaven.

As I backed away with me facing him, I didn't notice I was at the edge of the pool and before I knew it, I had slipped and was already in the water. I began to sink since I didn't know much about swimming, the surprise that came with the realization of a possible drowning made my heart beat, I tried to hold my breath but it was useless, I was suffocating.....

But in all I thank God for giving me another chance and rescuing me in the form of Michy. Once again, he has saved me in a time I needed someone the most.

For this reason alone, my love for him has shot higher than Burj Khalifa or even the tower of Babylon in Biblical times.

I slipped on the lace camisole and decided to tie my hair but later decided against it while making my way to the bedroom.

What is he doing here?

I found Michy sitting on my bed as I stepped into the bedroom. I was surprised he was here, after helping me inside and everything, he told me he was leaving so I could get some sleep, what happened was quiet exhausting. Yeah it really is, I also need a good sleep with the way my chest is paining me.

In short his presence is a surprise, his eyes met mine when he looked my way upon hearing me enter, they raked over my body before settling on my face then his hand patted the space beside him on the bed.

My cheeks flushed from they way he looked at me and yet again, I'm in something quite revealing—a white lace camisole and matching shorts, I wore that since I'm going to sleep and a fan of showing skin while sleeping, I'm not those leggings type or straight pajamas either.
