"I've got you don't worry," I heard someone exclaim whilst I was trying my best to stay afloat in the pool. Before I had time to process what was happening the water behind me splashed as someone entered the pool. 

In the next moment, a slender arm gripped me from behind and began dragging me to the rim of the pool. My first instinct was to berate whoever it was but water quickly entered my mouth causing a coughing fit. It was only when I reached the edge of the pool that I finally got a chance to catch my breath. 

"Are you okay?" a sweet feminine voice sounded from my back reminding me of the person responsible for me almost drowning. Turning around what met my sight was a wet blond in a white polo shirt drenched.

"You," the words that were about to come out of my mouth stopped as I looked into her crystal clear blue eyes. Mesmerised by her eyes I was motionless even forgetting to breathe for a second. 

Snapping me out of my trans was her slender hand made contact with my forehead. She seemed to be trying to check my temperature after realising that I spaced out. Snapping out of it I realised that she was the same girl I had seen yesterday when I woke up.

"You okay?" She asked giving me a concerned look as she continued to check I was ok. Simply nodding at her question I pulled myself up sitting on the edge of the pool. I realised that swimming isn't as easy as it looks and might not be for me must be a DNA thing. 

"I'm good thanks but you know I came closer to drowning when you tried to help than before that," I told her with an amused smile as I stretched my hand out to her. She seemed perplexed by my intentions but still took my hand only to yelp in surprise the next moment. 

In one fluid motion, I pulled her out of the water allowing her to sit next to me at the edge of the pool. The water that enveloped her quickly dripped off her leaving her damp clothes to hug her enticing figure. Her wet hair now ran to the back of her head making her look all the more beautiful. That was not what caught my eye though as the black lace bra that she was wearing could now be seen through her white polo. 

"My eyes are up here you know," she said in a teasing tone letting me know that I looked for a second too long. "I know," I responded with a slight smirk not flustered in the slightest at being caught when sneaking a peak. Being shameless and not backing down is something I've learned to do when interacting with others. 

There is no point denying something once you've been caught especially in a situation like this one. The only time I'll ever cap is in front of a judge and jury, let's be honest I'd be a dummy if I didn't. My policy had its intended effect as the girl in front of me completely lost her train of thought. She had probably intended to berate me after seeing me flustered at her question but now she was speechless. 

"Let me get you a towel," I told her getting up from my sitting posture as I promptly walked over to where I had dropped my towel. Throwing it over to her just as she had gotten up she surprisingly caught it. 

"So what's your name? And why are you staying with Ella," She asked me in a single breath promptly regaining her composure as she started drying her hair. 

"I'm Rakim and I guess she is my foster mother," I calmly replied to her as I picked up another towel from the rack next to the showers. We settled on the two sun loungers and we started having a conversation with each other. 

It was mostly her asking me questions and me somewhat reluctantly answering her. I did ask her a few questions that's how I found out that her name is Zoe which I guess is a fitting name. She has quite an outgoing personality managing to keep the conversation even when I didn't know what else to talk about.

At some point, she was talking about Coachella which got lost in translation for me. It's some sort of massive music festival which she attended with her friends earlier this year. It honestly sounded fun but since I haven't experienced it I can't really understand her enthusiasm. Luckily I was saved by the bell when I noticed my phone vibrating incessantly. 

Picking it up I noticed it was warm despite the fact I had it in the shade and it's 80% charged. Looking at the notifications that continued to appear on my phone I was completely bought off-guard. Safe to say both my Instagram and Youtube were blowing up with notifications. 99+ notifications and more continued to pop up making me realise why my phone was burning up. 

"Wow never had a boy ignore so blatantly," I heard her say pulling my attention off my still-vibrating phone. "Sorry, my phone is kinda going crazy right now," I responded showing her my phone which was still vibrating now. Honestly speaking, it is starting to get on my nerves, especially with how hot my phone is getting.

"So this is your song?" Zoe asked me for about the hundredth time as she replayed my song once again. We were currently sitting in Ella's workshop as my phone had become unusable due to the heat. 

When I managed to log into my Instagram on the computer I realised that the story I had posted blew up. Since last night it has managed to gain over 10,000 views and is still climbing. My music video on YouTube is even more exaggerated already sitting on 15K views. I'm not sure what to do with all this as it's all happening faster than I expected. 

"Yeah I think so," I absent-mindedly responded stretching my hand over her shoulder to use the mouse. Not noticing her reddening expression I scrolled down on the page just to double-check it was my page. 

{It's a good song don't be so surprised, 1,000 subscribers so fast is surprising though,} Rex commented sounding less surprised about the fact the song was gaining some traction. His nonchalant response brought my excitement down making me eager to record a few more songs. 

"You think so?" she asked sending me a questioning look my way as our faces brushed by each other the moment she turned. Realising just how close we were to each other she abruptly jumped back blushing hard. 

"Yeah just didn't expect so many views in just a day," I replied with a genuine smile as I pulled up the recording software ready to work on more songs. Since Rex created around 10 different beats I can just work on multiple songs now. 

"Oh ok," was her only reply as she continued to avoid eye contact with me, not that I minded though. Pulling up a file for a song Rex called Finner Things I connected the Mic and pulled up a file to record. "Can you press play," I asked her approaching the mic stand and putting on the headphones. Zoe simply nodded to my request pressing play letting a soft piano beat ring through the speakers.
