14 14. Concern.

'Splash'

The sound of splash resonated.

Within a second, the sensation of the cold water in an every inch of my bare skin gave a quick shiver. My eyes were tightly closed and lips didn't utter a sound. Before I realized, I was surrounded by the coldness body of water and I was sinking underneath.

With my sealed lips I dared to open my eyes. Under the transparent lake my vision was blurred, but with the dim rays of daylight, I unclearly view around my hair was flowing in the water and there were lots of fishes.

I slowly lifted my face up and abruptly, I felt intense tightening in my chest and a burning sensation in my opened eyes. My lips got tickled and I swallowed the water as I was choking. Beneath the water I raised my hand for aid, but instead I find myself being submerged peacefully. The silence that takes you away.

Am I going to die?

In seek of tranquil and love I abandoned my parents and hometown behind yet I have not found a love.

With no good end, my journey ends here.

All of a sudden, I sensibly felt a strong grip on my belly from the behind and swiftly I was getting dragged out from massive unruffled coolness as if I'm gliding through water.

Shortly, a sensation of warm rays touched me when I felt myself above on the water roof. While my hands hesitated to reach the frame of the canoe yet I seized firmly which provided the support to my frail body.

Not long after, I wide opened my mouth and gasp for oxygen and at the same time I began to smother water from the inside of me.

As I opened my eyes, it was flooded with tears and I blinked my eyes couple of times for a clear sight. With my trembling hand, I wiped off the excess water from my face and breathing heavily I turned to gaze behind me.

His facade confronting mine closely and I gaze at him absurdly.

His wet black hair has formed into pointed edges which were resting on his damp forehead while dripping and his long thick lashes gripped the droplets of water to gaze at me with his hazy grey orbs which were brimming with moist. A transparent tiny drop was dangling on his pointed nose and my eyes landed on his soft pink lips were slightly apart, thus escaping the sound of breathing.

Gasping for the air, I hissed while stressing on each word. "This. Is. All. Happened. Because. Of. You."

"I've been worried about you. Are you okay?" He neglected my fuss instead, worriedly cared about me.

Damn to hell, Why he was concerned?

Our bodies were freely dangling in the water and I was still gasping for air and said. "I feel so. Exhausted and. You. Are. The cause!"

Scrunching his brow together, he groaned. "What?" And added while dragging death glare with the stiff grey shimmer eyes. "I didn't even touch you and you fell by yourself."

I avert my face from him and abruptly, tears started to access my hazel eyes and a lump was formed in my throat. Tightening the grip to the canoe, a laugh escaped from my lips as I recalled the tragic incident but I survived and whimpered with fear. "I was scared to hell."

Behind my head I felt a sensation of lips being pressed on back of my hair and I halted my laugh and he shushed me. "Shh! It's okay. Trust me, You are a different species and I will always cling to you regardless of what happens."

Slowly I turned my head to face him and he shifted his concerned grey orbs on my eyes.

An invisible veil of deep silence enveloped over us. Our eyes contracted with each other and without blinking, he laid his gaze on my lips and swiftly glanced back to my eyes. Slowly he tilted his face towards me and closed the gap between our face. My cheeks began to steamed up and I had the quick butterflies in my belly. The sound of 'lub' 'dub' of my heart becomes clearly audible and my lips curled up in a blushing smile.

Out of the blue, I felt a rapid sensation of sucking on my thighs and my expression turned into puzzled. Frowning my brows I narrowed my eyes and asked furiously. "Are are trying to seduce me with your touches on my thighs!"

The moment my words hit me he twitched his brow together and he continuously gaze at me for a few moments and in a serious tone he moaned. "Are you kidding?" Showing his clear evidence, he raised the hands in his self-defense and added with scorned. "Why would I do that?"

My gaze landed on the crystal clear water and abruptly, eyes popped up at the unimaginable sight. Carelessly, my skirt was floating on the water and my pale legs were exposed as if it were casual and a heap of freckled trout were assembled next to my legs and were sucking and kissing at my thighs.

"Aahh!" I exclaimed in surprise and added while squalling. "I'm being exposed and these trouts are tickling me!" Yet we were aimlessly floating.

He raised the eyes in wonder and expressed. "Wow!" Added while slightly pouting his lips. "I wish I could be that trout."

Suddenly, a soft and twitch touch was placed on my belly, resulting in restless tickle and I quickly started kicking my legs back and forth in water while laughing I turned my face against him. I remembered his hand was around my waist a while ago and shouted giving a halt on each word. "Remove. Your. Hand. From. my. Belly. I feel ticklish."

While swaying aimlessly into the water, he approached next to me in a few centimeters distance and his face was confronting mine. He displayed his hands of surrender in the air and stated. "You have none of my hands on you."

The moment his words resonated in the ears my lips slightly agape. Swiftly I landed my gaze on the water and my eyes popped out. My T-shirt was purposelessly swinging in the water uncovering the stomach and the freckled trouts were sucking on my belly leading a quick sensation of trickle.

Moving further, I stiffen the grip on the edge of the canoe and sticked my chest to the wooden frame of the canoe concealing my exposed chest. My legs was constantly thrusting back and forth movement and I wept out of displeasure. "My skirt, I'm in full exposure!"

'Hahah!'

The sound of laughter echoed besides me and his slender pink lips escaped a sassy remake. "I wonder how good you taste and?" He halted midway and raising his eyebrow he smirked and said. "You have any flavor?"

I literally wanted to cry but the sucking of fishes tickle me while grinning widely I hissed. "I'm being completely exposed here and you're wondering about how I taste. Save me from them."

Out of the blue, I sensed the bewildered eyes of a person I had never met and I took a look at the canoeman who had his eyes widened at the sight of my visible posture and his rounded lips were slightly spread out.

"Aah!" I gasped at him and narrowed my eyes dragging death glare at him, I furiously yelled. "If you're done with that exotic look of your, can you help me climb?"

Suddenly, the eyes of canoeman started beaming out of excitement and he pronounced. "Of course!" His steps proceeded and his hand were about to make contact with me.

Abruptly, a well-known sexy and stern voice interrupted. "Don't even think about it. She is my concern."
