6 Chapter 6

Let me tell you this, he is one tall guy. Even with his hair matted down to his head he's still towering over me. I can never get used to being so short, especially if he's in my space. We're only a few centimetres away from touching. All I could do is stare at him. From my line of vision, his pink lips is right there in front of me. His intense brown eyes is staring me down. As if challenging me, daring me to look away first.

But hell, I don't want to.

Just as I was licking my lips to cut the silence that had ensued between us long enough, his eyes drifted to my tongue following my action then to my throat where my Adam's apple bobbled from swallowing saliva. His eyes then drifted lower till it reached the top half of my swimsuit, where my cleavage was currently dripping wet. I wonder what he's thinking right now. Hmmm. An idea came to me and I smirked internally.

"Like what you see?" with renewed confidence I mocked him with a breathy voice right in his ear.

I grinned in triumph when he tensed visibly and I leaned back. I gasped when Tom suddenly leaned forward and pulled me forward to his solid chest. His left arm wrapped itself around my waist while his right hand held the back of my head. Our faces are now very close together. His face no longer showed his signature smirk, it was all intense now with his eyes darkened to a few shades.

His arms are holding me to him and there was no distance between us. All that separated our bodies from each other were the thin fabrics of our swimsuits. We were practically skin to skin, my front pressed against his. I could feel his heart beating rapidly against his skin.

His right hand slowly moved to my face and his thumb caressed my lips soothingly. His touch is very gentle and soft, almost featherlike. It makes my body flush and tingle, craving his touch even more. The anticipation he's building up in me with his slow actions is killing me. Every damn fibre of my being is quivering right now. "T..Tom?"

Then he finally leaned in all the way but he did so, oh so very agonizingly slowly. I was helpless under his undivided attention. I simply couldn't move even if I wanted to because of his hands holding me against him. But I'm glad his hands are supporting me or I might've just melted into a puddle.

His stare went from my eyes to my lips. And instead of kissing me like what I thought he was going to do, he turned to my right cheek at the last minute and licked it. Like a freaking animal.

His arms around me immediately went loose after that as he held me on the shoulders in arms reach and looked at me while laughing like a maniac. "CChar, you should've seen the look on your face! You're all red. Ohmigosh! You're so cute."

I blinked once, twice then, "TOM! YOU FREAKIN' ASSHOLE! You made me all hot and flustered for no reason?! HOW DARE YOU! Oh, you're so so gonna get it." I yelled at the top of my lungs while pushing him away.

I know I started it first but he just had to make me bothered for his own fun and I'm really frustrated with him right now.

I let my guard down.

I let him make me flush and quiver.

He made me feel like a wanton woman when he's just playing around. I can never read his expressions. He makes me so confused and I don't know what he's thinking all of the time.

Although I don't mind the way his body is pressed to mine. No nononono. I shouldn't be thinking about that. He's Tom, my friend. A friend. And he's going to get what he deserves. He wanted to tease me? Oh, he'll get a tease alright!

You don't mess with me and just get away with it. Hmmhpmm. Nono no. Nobody messes with me like that.

So I backed off to get out of the pool, while grinning evilly.

"You're so screwed, Thomas. Just you wait!"
