My mind gets bored so I find the yard and open the back door. I walk out feeling the warm weather hit my skin. I look around to see a lavish pool. Perfect.
I run excitedly inside to my room. I go to the closet and look for a swim suit. I find a black bikini. I slip it on and grab a towel.
After going down all the stairs I go back outside. Without testing the water I jump in the pool.
I frantically swim to the top as the water hits me like a frying pan. It's very cold. I know my body will warm up but right now I may as well be Jack from Titanic.I shiver and hear a laugh behind me.
I look up and see the devil himself. Alessandro.
"You know you can warm the pool up?" He says holding a remote in his hands.
"yes." I shiver while sitting on the edge of the pool. "After being here for half a day, of course I know that." I throw my hands up.
He press a few buttons before asking "Mind if I join you?"
"I suppose so." I say.
I mean swimming by yourself is boring. Plus if he's going to hold me captive for a year I could at-least befriend the guy.
He takes off his shirt and I try not to look but end up looking at his six-pack. Tattoos cover his chest and shoulders. His right arm is a full sleeve and his left is looking to be working up a full sleeve.
He jumps in causing a huge splash. Coming up to the surface he shakes his hair causing me to shriek from the cold water. He shakes like a wet dog.
He chuckles and grabs my ankles and drags me down.
Caught off guard I reach for his shoulder to pull him down but fail. I just end up holding his shoulders.
"You asshat." I try shoving him down. It doesn't work.
The pool feels warmer than before and I relish in my skin loosing all the goosebumps.
"Wanna play mermaids?" I ask as a joke.
"What?" He asks confused like he's never heard the game.
"My tails purple!" I add.
"What the fuck are you talking about?" He laughs.
"Have you never heard of mermaids?" I ask bewildered.
"No." He looks at me like I'm bat shit crazy.
"You're missing out." I laugh.
"And you're going insane." He remarks.
"That's what happens when you're locked up in a strange house." I float on my back. "Can I get a puppy if I can't have my phone?" I ask out of the blue.
Dad never let me get a dog. He always said it was too much of a responsibility and how I would never take care of it, but being here I have nothing else to do but be with it.
"What?" He asks.
"Like a dog... an animal?" I look at him curiously.
"I already own one." He says.
"What! Where?" Moving my body to propel beneath me.
"He sleeps in in the morning but he follows me around for the most part. I'm surprised you haven't seen him." He pulls his wet curls back.
"What's his name?"
"Assassino."
"Assassino? What does that mean?" I giggle.
"Killer."
"Scarryyy!" I mock. "I bet it's a chihuahua." I laugh.
"It's a pit bull." He scoffs.
"I want a weenie dog- wait no! A yorkie! Or a Chihuahua. Yeah- I want a Chihuahua." I giggle. "Then I'll name it something like Death or Grim Reaper.
My mind reals back to when we first met and when I was at breakfast.
"Hey- totally off topic but what was it your dad want. Why did he want you to-"
"Settle down?" Alessandro finishes for me.
"Yeah." I play with my hair while looking at his eyes.
In the sun the golden specks flow and his eyes shine. If he acted the way his eyes portray him, I could grow a liking to him. Unfortunately he is not warm and soft like his eyes.
"He just wants to see me with someone for awhile." He looks away.
"Oh." I whisper. "I get I'm here for my dad's debt, but I mean you could've gotten a lady other tthan me. Why me? "
He looks at me emptily. I forgot he hates explaining.
I crossed the line. "ok.."
I shrink down in the water and flow freely.
Sometimes when I was at home when I was stressed out I would swim. Like the water washed off all my worries and thoughts. I could close my eyes and lay under the water with the pressure pressing my skin for hours.
I swim back to Alessandro with my eyes closed and swim to the top. Once up I open my eyes I realize I swam a little too close.
I look up to see water still on his face and lips.
We look at each other for a second before I brake out of my dumb trance.
"Sorry." I say under my breathe and back away a bit.
"I should get ready for work." He says and swims off.
"Ok, bye." I say to myself basically.
