8 The Incident.

Lisa's POV:

I looked at him tensely as he got closer.

As he tries to push me out of the pool, Josh, immediately, comes up and pulls me out.

I look at him as he takes me to the nearer chair.

He bent on his knees and asks me if I was okay as I sit on the chair.

"Yeah, no need to worry" I say in a deep voice.

Honestly, I hate being the center of attention in these kind of situations. Although, it happens a lot with me.

Everybody was staring as a worker came and gave me towel.

I cover my body with the towel.

I was all wet. Head to toe.

What am I supposed to do now?

I can't ask for clothes from a stranger.

It's so embarrassing. Oh God, I hate it.

Sure, I'm in a stranger's house but so is everybody.

I look around and see Daniel.

He was all wet but shirtless.

I try to ignore but um.. It's hard.

But at least, he can take his shirt off when it gets wet.

But what do I do?

I was sitting there trying to figure out life.

Soon, a servant came and took me with him to a room.

"There's a shower room and a dryer.You can change in there" he says.

Thank Goodness!

"Thank you. But.. "I say and get interrupted by him "Miss Sadie asked for it".

"Oh.. tell her that I'm grateful for it".

Wow! Miss Sadie is kind. No, seriously. She saved me from the first hand embarrassment.

I go near the shower room and I hear the shower sinking. I hear someone being in there already.

Oh Lord. What now?

What am I gonna do? Should I go out or wait here?

I mean, maybe I should just wait.

If I go out, I'm sure I'm gonna get lost in this mansion.

It's better to stay here. Afterall, the servant took me here. It's not like I came here myself.

I'm not doing anything wrong. Am I?

I sit on a stool and I see Daniel coming out of the shower room shirtless.

No, no. This can't be.

As I start to run away he calls my name.

Shit!

Awkward as hell.

don't turn around, don't do it.

He calls me again and I now have to turn back facing him.

"What are you doing here?" he asks as I turn my head towards him.

"I uh.. This.. the" I try to say but get distracted by his abs. dude!

He had a tattoo on his right arm on the top.

A tattoo of an eagle.

That was hella attractive.

"Sorry I-" he says and takes out his shirt from the dryer to wear it.

He understood I was distracted.

"The servant showed me the way. I came here to dry out my clothes" I say as I try to pass through him to get to the shower room.

"Oh! Ok" he says giving me the way, looking at me with a smile.

Why is he smiling?

Do I look that bad when I'm wet?

Sure, I do.

Before he leaves, I mumble out "Hey, thank you for earlier. You.. jumped into the pool for me".

"you're welcome" He says winking at me.

...

I took a cab to my home after spilling the beans about earlier to Brittney.

It was a tough day. Oof!

As soon as I lay on my bed, I begin to think about Daniel and how he immediately jumped into the pool.

I know how to swim but he didn't know that.

When he pulled me closer to him. I sure, could feel the butterflies in my stomach.

The only question that arises in my mind is why.

Why did he do that?

There were a lot of people. Why him?

But if I had to choose someone to save me I would choose him.

Oh Lisa, Not again.

What are you thinking, girl?

This sweet gesture of him just won my heart again.

Ughh! ♡
