Kiss In The Pool

Cicilia's POV:

Seb was supposed to come back today.

It's been four days since that drama unfolded...I mean four days since everything got solved(misunderstanding).

Seb was not angry anymore, he talked to me nicely every day. I even gave him the number that sent me that picture, so, that he could find out, who that person is.

I missed him a lot these days especially after I realized that I love him.

Two-three months back, I hated him so much and now I can't believe that I love him.

He is actually really sweet and caring and I just fell for him.

I could feel a new type of energy running in my body after realizing my love for him.

I have become really enthusiastic these days though the spend the night thinking whether I should confess or not.

What if he doesn't love me back? Or maybe he does because he really cares for me but then...that doesn't mean he loves me.

Aargh! I am literally becoming mad!

I am thinking of ways to confess to him. Maybe I could say one of the lines from Shakespeare's sonnet, like, "So are you to my thoughts as food to life

Or as sweet season'd showers are to the ground."

Nah! That would be too romantic.

Okay...I should focus on my work right now, so, I once again shifted my attention back to my laptop as it was Monday and I had work to do.

Angela was with Abigail in the nursery.

So, after a few hours, I was free and now I had to wait for Seb as he said that he would reach here by evening.

I don't why I was feeling so nervous, I was actually scared. First of all because of the drama that happened a few days back even though everything was fine now and secondly because I was afraid that what if he could detect my feeling for him.

There was a knock on the door and as I said come in, Abigail walked in with a sleeping Angela in her hands.

She gave me a smile before placing Angela in her crib that was near the bed.

"Fell asleep while I was feeding her", Abigail told me and I gave her a smile saying, "Thank you. You can go rest now."

She bowed a little before going away.

Sighing I got up and went over to Angela who was sleeping peacefully. She looked so cute while sleeping, I could stare at her all day.

I hope she stays like this when she grows up...I mean, as quiet as she is now.

Leaning down I kissed her forehead.

I heard the front door open downstairs and I knew who was there, Seb was home.

My heartbeat quickened, thinking what I would say to him.

I could hear his footsteps as he climbed the stairs so I tried my best to hide my feelings as my body froze waiting for him to enter.

The doorknob turned and in came, a tired-looking Seb.

His eyes met mine and he made his way towards me immediately.

And I don't know why, I kept taking a step back as he moved towards me, and soon I was backed up against the wall.

"Why are you running away from me?", He asked.

"I...don't know...", I trailed off.

He gently grasped my neck and placed his forehead against mine as the tip of our nose was touching, our lips merely an inch apart.

"I am sorry Seb, for everything that happened...", I wasn't able to finish my sentence as he leaned in and brushed his lips against mine and his actions were enough to make my mind stop working as I closed my eyes.

"I told you, I hate talking about what happened in the past. What has happened has happened, we cleared our misunderstanding, said sorry, now move on, okay?" I nodded as I opened my eyes.

"Seb..."

"Yes, darling?" I wasn't able to control myself anymore as I leaned in and crashed my lips against his. I wrapped my hands around his neck as he tangled his fingers in my hair, continuing our passionate kiss.

Soon, we had to break our kiss cause we heard someone giggling and we immediately turned our heads towards Angela's crib to see her sitting there, wide awake, watching us.

Even though she was just a kid and couldn't understand anything, still I felt embarrassed.

Seb gave me a smile before walking over to her and picked her up in his arms as he kisses her forehead.

"Enjoying our make-out session, aren't you?", he asked her, gently stroking her hair as she giggled.

She cuddled closer to him and rested her head on his shoulder. He gently patted her back so that she falls asleep.

After a few minutes, she finally fell asleep again and Seb placed her in her crib before turning towards me.

"Can I get some coffee, darling?", He whispered as she was sleeping.

"Of course, darling", I imitated him, pulling his cheeks before going downstairs.

The next evening, I was once again busy with my job as I had to review many articles.

Seb was in the office and Angela was with Abigail in her nursey while I was in Seb's study as he gave me permission to use it.

There was a knock on the door, after which Seb walked in.

He must have come back fifteen minutes ago because he looked as if he just came out of the shower.

"Where's Angela?", He asked.

"She was with Abigail, in her nursery", I told him.

And a frown appeared on his face but he didn't say anything and went away.

A few minutes later, he again walked in saying, "She is sleeping." And sat on the chair opposite to me.

And as I was still working he didn't say anything and kept using his phone.

After some time, I was finally done with my work and I closed my laptop and stretched my arms.

"Cicilia?"

"Yes?"

"You know...I don't like the fact that someone else, other than you and me and our other family members should take care of Angela. I mean...you can't trust a maid."

"What do you mean?"

"Look, I have all the money you will ever need, what I mean is...you don't have to work. I can provide you both everything you will ever need. I want you to...quit your job and take care of Angela..."

"Seb...I won't quit my job", I told him straight even though he had a point.

"No, no... listen to me, what I mean is that you quit your job for a year or two and then by that time she will grow up and then you can join again or even better...you can be my assistant", he said.

"Seb, I can't sit idle for two years, just waiting for her to grow up", I said getting up and he got up too.

He came near me and cupped both of my cheeks saying, "Please, try to understand, darling. I am not saying that I won't let you work for the rest of your life."

I jerked away his hand and went past him as he followed me.

"Cicilia, come on...", He said as he followed me down the stairs.

I was not angry with him, just a bit disappointed.

I kept walking until I reached the backyard and I stood on the edge of the swimming pool, with my back turned towards him.

"I know you are not angry, darling", he said and I didn't say anything, "Cicilia...I am warning you..."

I scoffed and turned my head away.

"Ok, fine", he said.

And the next thing I knew was that he picked me up in his arms and held me above the pool.

And I realised that he was going to throw me in the pool.

"No, no, no!", I shouted, tightly wrapping my hands around his neck.

But he only smirked in return.

"No, Seb! I am scared of water, you know that!"

"Too late darling...", He evilly smirked and I clutched onto him more tightly.

And before I knew it, he released his hold on me and I started to fall down and due to my tight hold on Seb, I pulled him along with me and we both fell into the water with a loud splash!

Because of our body weight, we started to sink in and the pool was really deep. I started to panic as I felt myself sinking deeper into the water but then Seb grabbed my arm before he swam us back to the surface.

I gasped, breathing heavily, taking in all the air I needed as I still had my arms wrapped around his neck.

"What the hell, Seb! I told you not--", my words died in my mouth as his lips collided with mine.

It took me a few seconds to respond back, It was a hard, rough kiss that made electricity run through my veins. It wasn't soft and I really liked it, it made me breathless.

Retreating back, I breathed heavily, placing my forehead against his.

"Don't run away from me, Ever", he stated huskily.

"I can't run away from you, no matter how hard I try. I will always come back to you", I spoke softly before once again planting my lips on his.
