"Oh, I don't know, you tell me" she retorted, her tone teasingly ambiguous, not giving away too much while keeping the playful banter alive.

"Well, darling, you know you're not just alluring, you're the most enchanting person in my world" he said with a charming smile and a touch of teasing playfulness, his eyes reflecting the depth of his feelings for her, which made her cheeks turn red.

"Won't you swim?"

"i don't know how to swim" she said hesitantly.

"no problem, you can just stay on the border of the pool, floating... did you ever
went inside the pool?"

"no" she said.

"won't you like to get any experience?"

"umm...no..." she stuttered.

"come ..." he held her wrist and took her near the pool.

"no don't please... I will drown" she said to which he laughed, then he stopped
and turned her to face him. He held her shoulders.

"you can never drown in a pool, plus You're a fearless fighter, capable of
conquering challenges that others wouldn't dare to face. Yet, it's okay to have
that one thing, like the pool, that gives you pause. Remember, even fearless
warriors have their moments of vulnerability. Embrace your fears, conquer
them, and let them be the steppingstones to even greater courage and triumph. I believe in you, you can do this" he said which gave her a little strength.

"okay... but help me if I drown" she said like a baby.

He chuckled.

"okay I will" He smiled as he dropped his towel, revealing his intention to get
into the pool.

With a welcoming gesture, he stretched his hands out, inviting her to join him.
She held his hands and got inside the pool. They kept holding hands as he took
steps backwards to take her in the middle of the pool.

"how does it feel?" he stopped in the middle of the pool and asked.

"it feels like im floating" she grinned revealing her baby smile.

He slowly let her hands go, but she was holding onto him so tight, he could'nt
leave her hands.

"come on be brave, stand on your own, like you stand on the ground"
"no don't leave my hands, please" she pleaded.

"okay let's do one thing, I'll take you to the boundary of the pool and you try to
stand holding it. Ok?"

"okay" she accepted.
He did so. She stood holding the pool edge, As he moved through the water, he
transformed into something ethereal, akin to a water nymph or fairy. His body
glided gracefully, swaying in perfect harmony with the gentle undulations of the
water. Each movement was a mesmerizing dance, an intricate choreography
with the aquatic world around him. It was as though he had become one with
the water, a captivating and enchanting spectacle that left her in awe of his
aquatic grace.

He saw her lost in him, so he decided to tease her, little did he know the tease
would turn into something else. He came closer to her and slid his hand on her
waist and pulled her close, she left the pool edge and embraced his shoulders.
He took her into the middle of the pool, swaying with the waves, he spun her
around and they both danced with the water waves but soon when he stopped,
he held her tighter in his embrace, In that charged moment, time seemed to
stand still as their faces hovered just inches apart. The air crackled with an
undeniable tension, as if the world around them had faded into insignificance.
His intense gaze bore into her eyes, capturing her attention completely.
Their heartbeat went faster. The scent of wet earth mingled with the subtle
fragrance of her perfume, creating an intoxicating aroma that filled the space
between them.

Her breath hitched, and she felt a shiver travel down her spine as she watched
water droplets glisten in his hair, tracing a path down his temple and finally
caressing his cheeks. Each droplet seemed to echo the silent language of their
desire, a language spoken without words, but felt in every electrifying gaze and
every shared heartbeat.

In that suspended moment, the world around them ceased to exist. It was just
the two of them, drawn together by an irresistible force. The unspoken words
hung heavy in the air, weaving a tale of longing and anticipation. The pool
seemed to pulse with the rhythm of their hearts, a melody of passion and
connection that begged to be acknowledged.

And then, in the softest whisper of shared vulnerability, their lips met. It was a
collision of souls, a tender exploration that spoke of a thousand unspoken
promises. The kiss was a revelation, a testament to the depth of their emotions,
as they finally surrendered to the magnetic pull that had drawn them together.
In that intense moment, the world outside ceased to exist, leaving only the echo
of their passion and the promise of a love that defied all boundaries.
