The Queen and Her King

Outguessed (Part Two)

Brielle POV

I tipped my weight back and let myself fall back into the water. I wasn't lying, by the way, I don't know how to swim. Now, why on earth would I do this? Because in order for the lake to do its magic for washing off potions, you have to be fully submerged. 

I made sure to take a big breath before I went under just in case, but sure enough after about 10 seconds of slightly panicked waiting and some thrashing to literally be saved from drowning, I felt Harry's arms wrap around me, one arm under my legs and the other one supporting my back (the princess carry if you were wondering) and move towards the surface. I immediately wrapped my arms around Harry's neck as if I was holding onto dear life. As soon as I felt the water surface break and the air come around me again I gasped for much-needed air,

"What on earth was that?! What were ya fuckin' thinking?!"

Harry scolded as soon as he got his air back too. I coughed some, seeing as I'm not used to being underwater I definitely inhaled some water on accident. I swept the hair out of my face and looked up at him, he looked like a crazy mixture of upset and freaked out,

"Invigorating isn't it?"

I calmly replied before coughing some more. I realized that the weird unnatural feeling of giddiness and unnecessary shyness was gone, but the lovely butterflies and the nice feeling from yesterday stayed. His eyes widened at my calmness,

"Ya call that 'invigorating'?! Bonnie lass ya scared the livin' daylights outta meh"

I had to still act like I was under the spell, yes, but I have a feeling that that won't be too difficult,

"Aw, I did?"

I said as he swam us both at least to the shallow end,

"Yeh, ya fuckin' did. What were ya thinkin'? If ya were just coming out 'ere ta clear yer head were ya going ta do that when no one was 'ere?"

I thought for a second before telling him a little bit of the truth, seeing as I was going to have to go underwater no matter what to get rid of the stupid spell,

"Well... yeah"

And I didn't think he could look anymore upset, turns out I was wrong,

"Yer telling me that ya can't swim and ya were just gonna pull that stunt out 'ere alone?! Ye could easily drown out 'ere all by yerself, ya know that right? That's it, I'm not lettin' ya out of my sight"

I giggled some and decided to over-exaggerate some, you know because that's what the spell I was under was doing,

"But you saved me"

I said, purposely sounding overly smitten. He sighed,

"Yeh, what else was I supposed ta do? Watch ya drown in front of my very eyes?"

I slowly reached one of my hands up and moved his hair out of his face,

"That's what a villain would've done"

I whispered, he looked down at me with those softer eyes again as I finished fixing his hair,

"But I am a villain"

He murmured,

"And yet you were in the water to save me in seconds without a second thought..."

I whispered right back,

"... hold still your eyeliner is a mess"

I added as I gently swept my thumb under his eyes. As I did I noticed that he had a bit of a blush to him. I smiled a little and tilted my head, acting like I didn't notice,
