CHAPTER 56

  Elena's POV

  The sound of a door creaking open startled us and we both tried to duck into the water, restricting our airflow but I guess that is a punishment we needed to pay for this act.

  "Meow!" A white cat with blue eyes crawled out of the door and paraded around, making us feel stupid that a cat fooled us.

  "That was close!" I said and floated right on top of the water.

  "It sure was." He ran his fingers through his wet curls.

  "So, I have a question and you can totally skip it if it feels too personal." I picked my wet hair and started squeezing the water off it.

  "Shoot, Elena."

  "When did you get your first kiss?" I peered at him.

  "Why do you ask?"

  "Because I'm mildly curious, but it is okay if you don't want to answer this."? I shrugged my shoulders.

  "I had my first kiss at the age of eight actually." He scrunched his face like he was trying to remember.

  "Wow! That is pretty early." I said with eyes wide-eyed.
