Swimming Pool

"Zav make it sure you're not looking seductive. Or else..... Let's just go swimming," he laughed as he spoke.

Miguel is outside the guest room. Waiting for his girlfriend to come out. They will be going to the pool outside for a night swimming.

"Okay don't worry my man. I'm wearing baro at saya."

Baro and Saya means the Philippines National Custome. But saying she will wear Baro and Saya was a joke, it is a wear of old folks people in history. So how could she can wear it while swimming. Zaviah was walking out the door as she answered. Wearing long sleeve rush guard, even without the sun. But the bottom suit is a denim short.

"Is that really what you want to wear. Or maybe you're just wearing that for safety. If you're not that comfortable. You can wear any which is comfortable for you.

"Yes I'm comfortable with this one."

Zaviah was still holding the hem of her longsleeve rush guard. The air was cold. It was dusk, the sun is almost to disappear.

"I just want to be get wet in the water but I don't want the cold wind to hit my arms. So this is what I want to wear."

"Okay you just said. I thought you were just wearing that for safety."

There was even more laughter after he repeated what he had said earlier.

"Wearing for safety? Safety with who? Are you referring it to yourself? Is that what you are trying to mean?"

She got her forehead furrowed. At first she can't understand what does it mean but later then she got it.

"Well yes. Unless you think I'm harmless. But yes I'm harmless."

"Is it wrong for me to think you are harmless? Because if it is, I will prepare any weapon so I can protect myself."

They both laughed at the same time in the course of their conversation. And they're already walking near to the swimming pool.

"You can join us here. Bring some beer in a can," Miguel shouted calling Rod.

The young man was on the terrace overlooking at them. Still smiling as if it was so comforting to watch over them.

"Okay I'll be there later," Rod answered.

Zaviah is going down the water. She was walking barefoot along the cement side of the swimming pool. While Miguel was left staring first at the edge of the pool. He couldn't help but stare at the woman beautiful legs walked barefoot.

"Careful! As you're going down to the water," he reminded.

But it was only after he spoke that Zaviah missed one step down. There was one more step to be taken before the last, she didn't notice so she fell into the water. Miguel quickly jumped into the water. He carried up her from the pool with a scratched heel.

" Is there anything else that hurts besides that scratch in your heel?" he asked worriedly.

"Nothing hurts just my heel."

She relaxed waiting to feel good again. She was just sitting on the stairs watching the groom soaking in the water.

"Come on! I'll lift you while we're here in the water."

Miguel come closer to invite her to go down into the water again. He wanted to hug his girlfriend while they were in the water.

"You can't lift me. I'm heavy, "Zaviah joked.

"No. How can you be so heavy? I guess you only weigh fourty-five kilos."

"Wow! What a smart guess. You're good at estimating."

"Come on. The water is cold and I want to hug you tight while we are here in the water too."

"No," she laughed at by saying no.

But slowly she tried to move her feet. Estimating her stand if she can already make it without pain on her heel.

Okay I'll try."

She could no longer wait long sitting down and biting her lips over his boyfriend teasing. She slowly made one and two steps. She stepped on her right foot. Miguel was just downstairs waiting.

"Maybe you'd better just jump. I will catch you."

"It's like I don't know how to swim if you catch me."

"Yes I know you can swim. But of course I want you to fall here in the water safe in my arms. Did you see this muscles?"

He's lifted both of his arms with stiff muscles. Talking so proud and showing it to Zaviah.

"Oh! Really. Safe falling to the water in your arms. Hmm! I seemed to like that idea too. Let us see how hard that is."

Miguel's stand on the water which is only five feet and five inches deep. So the water will not pass over him if he is standing. But it past over Zaviah who was five feet and four inches tall. Zaviah giggled at her thought. She wanted to intensify the fall into the water. So she jumped with tremendous force. Her boyfriend caught her well but they also went down deep into the water at the same time. She was suppressed by a kiss because of the mischief committed. Kissing underwater happened to two lovers who are in love. Freedom to feel as if no eyes around. It felt like being on a roller coaster but it is exhilarating. Zaviah begin stomping her feet as she is running out of breath.

"I thought such scenes can be seen only in the movies. It can also be happened in my life with you, my dear," he said.

Miguel hugged him tightly because he knew Zaviah would complain at what he had done.

"It's not awesome but deadly. I'm going to die that kind of kissing because I'm running out of air. Why not kiss me here on the top of the water instead. And let us see who will last us longer."

"Are you challenging me?" Miguel asked with a laugh.

"Yes!" she answered confidently.

"I know I will win. So how about truth or dare?"

"You're lucky in that long kiss but then you're still want for a truth or dare. You know you're going to win that's why you want that truth or dare. I'm going to be a double killed loser in that condition," she laugh after she protested.

Then they laughed at what they were talking about. Suddenly it rained heavily. Large grains of rainwater immediately fall. They ignored it.

"How about the truth or dare?"

"Okay sure! But I will go to choose dare."

There was no go signal for Miguel to kiss her on the lips. She was been pulled slowly closer and kissed while slightly confined on his beloved arms . Kissing on the water under the rain is the scenery that Rod sees from the height of the terrace. He pretended to witness nothing but he was happy with what he saw. And a few more minutes passed when he heard Zaviah say it loud. Rod just smiled and got thrilled too.

"I love youuuuu, Miguel."

"I want it in a loud voice."

"No! You're being abused. You've already kissed me. I even shouted I love you, and then you wanted to be even louder. I don't want to shout too loud. It's embarrassing."

Zaviah complained like a kid being punished. She was the one who gave up on the kiss.

"I love youuuuuu too, Zaviah!"

Extremely a loud shout. That it echoed the whole place. Zaviah tried to open wide her eyes. It is the rain rolling down over her face that made her can't able to see.

"Hey! What are you doing? Your loud scream, that might be embarrassing."

She pinched the nose of his boyfriend to calm him down.

"Maybe someone will hear us Someone on the top," Miguel just laughed.

"Who know, there is someone around."

"Who can hear us? The noise of raindrops is loud."

Zaviah looked around to make sure no one was there. She remembered Rod being on the terrace. Then she looked up.

"There he is up above. I'm ashamed."

Zaviah looked down and made a little pinched her boyfriend on the side. She can't imagine how exactly does Rod look at her.

While Rod waved his hand and just gave a thumbs up while looking at them.
