chapter ten

 


"Your, umm, shirt, strappy, uh thing is kind of," Justin stuttered and made a motion as thought he was showing her that her tank top strap was off of her shoulder.

"Oh," Emily quickly looked down and fixed it. She then realized he must have been looking at her white tank top that was now see-through and plastered to her skin. She tugged at the bottom of the shirt to pull it away from her body, so that Justin wouldn't be able to see anything. She looked up at him and gave him a small smile.

She looked deep into his crystal blue eyes that seemed to match the color of the pool water. God, he's gorgeous... she thought to herself. Oh, how I've waited for someone like him... her thoughts continued as she continued to stare at him. Tiny drops of water trickled down his nose from the tips of his blonde curls. She nervously licked her lips, which Jsutin took as a sign to lean closer to her. She could feel her heart rushing as Justin's eyes closed and he leaned in, his lips only inches away from hers. She closed her eyes too and waited for his lips to touch hers, but then her eyes suddenly fluttered open. What am I doing? I can't do this! She exclaimed inside her head and swam backwards, out of his reach, only seconds before his lips would have brushed against hers.

"Wha-what happened?" Justin's eyes shot open when he heard her swim out of his reach.

"Nothing," Emily replied quicky. "Can we umm, get out? I'm kind of cold," she crossed her arms over her chest.

Justin nodded, "yeah,"he answered quietly and hopped out of the pool with Emily following him. He handed her a towel and she wrapped it over her shoulders.
