Chapter 3

"Hi!" Not thinking much of it, "good morning." "Don't mind if I join you, do you?" "It's a public pool, with multiple lanes." "Well, yesterday, you seem to have ran away as soon as I arrived. I didn't mean to scare you away." Although it was true that she left yesterday because he arrived. After talking to him, he didn't seem so bad and she wasn't going to cut her swim time just because someone else came to swim.

Debating on what to say, "I also like to swim when there are not much people around." He said while jumping into the pool and swimming into a different lane, albeit was the lane next to the one she was swimming in. Her eyes followed him and he waved with a big smile on his face. "Going to continue swimming or just stand there?" She could see humor play on his lips. Ignoring his comment she also jumped in and began to swim. He just watched her for a moment before also swimming.

"You're a good swimmer, how about a race?" "A race?" "Yes, it'll be fun. We could even make a bet." "A bet?" "Yes." " Bet what?" Happy she was interested, "well, how about the winner asks the loser to do something?" "Do you do this with everyone you meet?" Laughing, "do I do what with everyone I meet? Make a bet?" Getting serious, eyes locked onto hers, she didn't realize he was getting closer, in a serious tone, "I am not like this with everyone I meet, nor do I make bets with anyone, especially something like this." "Like this?" She could feel her body getting warm for some reason as they continued talking, "yes. See I want something from you and you alone." "But I don't have anything." Being backed against the pool wall, lowering his voice, eyes darkening as he got closer, whispering I her ear in a sweet sexy voice, "I want a kiss." Hearing his seductive voice so close sent chills down her spine, she turned to meet his eyes, "a…a…" "kiss." Finishing what she was saying enjoying her reaction, curious to feel her virgin lips. He kept his self in check as he backed away returning to his smiling self. "A kiss is all I ask." Thinking a moment, " what if I win?" "Confidence, I like you even more. Hmm, what would you like from me." He said grinning from ear to ear as he swam back to her, this time keeping a distance. "Um, I don't know. I mean we just met and you even want to kiss me, why?" "Ok, if you win, I'll tell you why I want to kiss you, 'even though I just got caught up in the moment and seeing your reactions..' now get ready. On the count of 1,2,3!!!"

He didn't want to admit that what he did was sneaky, but she didn't refuse the kiss if he won and that was more than enough to get him into winning this race, even if it did mean cheating. When she made it to the other side shortly after him, "hey, that wasn't fare, I wasn't ready." She said after grabbing the edge of the pool since they were on the deep end.
