She calmed down a bit, I haven't.

For a while, we just stayed in the water; I was holding her and she wrapped her arms around my neck without turning her head towards mine. Without saying, it was awkward. I'm pretty sure that if she hadn't taken her leave since a 'while', it's because I was her literally her buoy. A still, stupid buoy that was about to kill her. Maybe the best was to go out the pool first. Why were we still there?

"…Mr. Burglar, don't just stay there. I wanna swim, you know," at last she broke the silence with her hesitant statement.

I started moving around but it was even more awkward that the silence before. Thing is, I don't know how to be a buoy.
