„No, no, no, no!" Ririka exclaimed, quickly and tightly clinging her body into Mary as her heart started to pick up its pace in panic and fear. Her legs were secured around Mary's waist while her arms are wrapped around her neck, not wanting to float away and drown.

She anxiously glanced down her feet below her and whimpered at the realization of how deep the pool they were in right now was.

Her girlfriend had a small slime on her lips in amusement.

"This is so embarrassing..." Ririka said with red cheeks.

"Baby, it's okay. I'm here but you have to let go of me, alright?" Mary carefully said, laughing softly when Ririka rapidly shook her head and buried her face on the crook of her neck stubbornly.

"Ririka, we are here to learn how to swim remember? You told me yourself you wanted to learn."

"I don't want to... not anymore. I changed my mind, Mary. Can we please get out?" Ririka begged, looking at Mary pleadingly.

Tears had started to form in her eyes, although Mary wasn't sure if she was crying or not. Her unasked question was soon answered when a tear slipped out of her blue orbs after being in the water for probably 10 minutes or more.

Mary's face immediately softened and she pushed them both to the corner of the pool where it was shallow, using both of her feet and securing her arms around Ririka's thighs as the girl buried her face in her neck.

Mary had never thought Ririka's fear of the pool or the beach could be this bad. She didn't even know the exact reason why she had been so afraid in the first place, which made her feel incredibly guilty.

Ririka didn't seem to wanna tell her but Mary understood, figuring out that the girl wasn't ready yet and she didn't want to push her into telling her just because of curiosity.

"I'm sorry, baby." Mary whispered, kissing the crown of her head, resting her cheek on it while rubbing circles on her bare back. "Would you like to change?"

"Yes, please..." Ririka nodded, playing with the straps of Mary's swimsuit.
