CHAPTER 27
CHLOE'S POV
"Chloe?", Keith's husky voice drew me back to reality.
"Uhh..... Breakfast is ready", I couldn't bring myself to look at his face. My cheeks were burning!
"Look at me", he demanded.
I raised my head slowly and my eyes kept flickering to his lips.
Would it be wrong to admit that I missed his kisses??!!!
"Why are you blushing?", he asked as his arms snaked around my waist, pulling me close.
"N-nothing", I stuttered, my heart racing.
"Are you sure?", he whispered as he leaned in closer.
"Yeah", and his lips were on mine, kissing me sweetly and I responded almost immediately.
My hands were around his neck and our bodies were pressed together.
Then I remembered something, this is wrong.
I pulled back and said
"This feels wrong"
"Why?"
"Whether we like or not, this is a friendship with benefits and I don't want that. Until we figure out whatever this is, no kisses, no make out sessions"
" Fine"
" Now, hurry up and come down for breakfast", I pulled myself away from him and went back to the dining room.
"What took you so long?", Jess' voice greeted me when I opened the door.
"He.....took so long to answer the door", I think she bought it.
"Is he coming?", Matt asked.
"Yeah"
============================
We ate together, talking about lots of stuff and what we were gonna do today. I suggested that we should just chill out in the pool cos it was kinda sunny. The boys suggested we played soccer. Jess wanted to have a spa.
We argued until we came to a conclusion that chilling in the pool was a good idea.
I shouldn't have suggested that cos I can't swim!!!!!!
As if Keith noticed my distress, he nudged me.
"I can teach you how to swim"
"Really?", my face lit up with excitement.
"Yeah"
"You see, peanut? I knew he'd be more than happy to teach you how to swim", Matt teased and earned a headsmack from Jess.
" Nice job sis", I applauded.
" Anytime", she smirked.
============================
"C'mon, hurry up", Keith shouted outside the door but I couldn't this.
It's too... exposing.
It's a two-piece bikini but the top barely has any material to cover my tits while the bottom...well let's not go there.
"Hold on a little longer, would you?", I shouted back.
How could Jess get me this?
I rummaged through my duffel bag for a better one and I found it.
It's a flamingo pink two-piece bikini where the top and bottom cover where they're supposed to but not completely.
I need to show a little bit of skin.
I wore it and....
"You're sister and her boyfriend are having fun without us. Please hurry"
"Okay", I opened the door and stepped out. Keith froze and I felt shy under his gaze.
"Wow!", he finally spoke after staring at me for what felt like an eternity.
"What?", my cheeks heated up.
"I never thought I'd see you in a bikini before", his arms snaked around my waist, pulling me close.
"Keith, what'd I say?",I warned but it came out more like a whine.
How'd this guy have so much effect on me??!!!
"C'mon, this one time. I just wanna kiss you in a bikini. It's in my bucket list", he said, his voice deep and husky.
"To kiss someone in a bikini? I know someone with that kind of wish", I said as I recalled one of my conversations with Mysterio. He said he wanted to kiss someone he loves in a bikini.
Keith blushed hard but masked it up with a grin.
"So can I?", he asked, leaning in slowly.
"Sure", I wasted no time in closing the gap between us and slamming my lips on his. He wasted no time in responding.
After a while, I pulled back, panting to catch my breath.
"At least now you have your wish come true", I smirked at him.
I was feeling giddy inside me.
"Yeah, I guess so", he pecked my lips again and I giggled.
"You said once!"
"I didn't say once, darling", he said in a singsong voice.
"C'mon, let's go meet your sister and her boyfriend", he pulled me and let me to the pool area.
"What took you guys so long?", Jess screamed and splashed water on us immediately we got there.
"I had to find something suitable to wear", I countered.
"How about the bikini I got for you?"
"It was too revealing"
" And that's what makes it better", she drawled and winked at me.
I know what she's doing.
She's trying to set me up with Keith.
"It's gonna be pointless to argue with you so let's just get swimming", I got near the pool and went in slowly, with Keith watching my every move. I was already scared.
"I'm coming in", Keith got in too and held my hands.
"It's okay, just focus on my voice and follow my instructions", he added, dropping my hands and swimming farther away from me.
"Now, try to make yourself lighter in the water", he instructed, and I tried but it felt like I was gonna drown.
"Don't be scared, just do it", he said again. I could see Jess and Matt snickering.
"They're laughing at me", I whined.
"Just forget about them and focus on me. Now, try to make yourself lighter",he said and I did it.
I was actually floating on/in the water. I held the side of the pool to steady myself.
"Try to swim towards me"
"How?"
"Act like you're swinging your arms but dip it in the water and rotate it like a..... propeller", he explained.
"Ok", I let go of the pool wall and did as he instructed. I was moving forward but not steadily and quickly.
"That's it", he encourage and before I knew it, I got to him and held him to steady myself.
"I just learnt how to swim!!", I squealed but my happiness was cut short when Keith said
"Not so fast, butterfly", he chuckled.
"What do you mean 'not so fast'?", I whined.
"You still need to learn other swimming skills", he said in a singsong voice.
" FUCK!!!!!", I screamed.
What the actual FUCK?!!
No one told me swimming took time!!!!
" Language", Jess said with a mocking voice.
" Babe, let's go inside and watch a movie", Matt suggested with a mischievous smile.
I know very well what he was talking about
"You're right", Jess concurred and they both went inside.
"Okay, what do we do next?"
"How about we take a break from swimming and just chill in the water?", he pulled me to the edge of the pool and sat me down, coming in between my legs.
"What are your plans?", I questioned his sudden act.
"I don't have any plans", he smirked, his arms around my waist.
" Are you sure? Cos it seems like you planned this with Matt"
" It's just a mere coincidence", he started drawing circles on my bare skin.
" Well, you know, you're just a cute boy I can't date", I said truthfully.
" Why not? Why don't you wanna date this cute boy?", he said , talking about himself.
" Because I think you have a girlfriend"
" Wait, what?"
