"Well, you can try."
"Or what?"
"You know what."
She sighed. This was going to go on forever. "Whatever," she spoke, giving up. Anastasia slowly leaned up to kiss him on the cheek. But just as she did so, he turned his head and their lips crashed together.
She gasped and his tongue took this chance to go in and seek hers. But she just couldn't help it. She closed her eyes and kissed him back. He groaned in approval and held the back of her neck, pulling her towards him.
The way their tongues kissed each other.. it was driving her insane. She could feel herself getting hotter as she bit his bottom lip. Argh, what was he doing to her?
They pulled back gasping for air and he looked down at her with a grin plastered on his handsome face. "You're getting good at it."
There was no doubt in her head that she was blushing.
"You can go tonight," he said in approval.
"I was going to anyway," she said as she quickly stood up, getting herself away from him. She should stop this. She should stop these feelings that were driving her crazy.
Just then, someone knocked on the door and Jenny came in, carrying shopping bags. "This came for you, Luna."
"What?"
She gave her the shopping bags and Anastasia looked inside, amazed. There were so many different outfits here and even swimsuits. She couldn't wait to try them on. The night quickly came and Jenny was beside her preparing her swimsuit.
She got to the bathroom and tried it on. She thought this looked too sexy for her own taste. She wished she had enough confidence in her own skin. As soon as she came out, Jenny looked at her with a smile. "You look beautiful, Luna."
"Thanks. I'm cold, though," Anastasia replied, hugging myself.
"Don't worry about the cold. The water will be warm."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, Luna," she assured. This time, Jenny was also wearing a swimsuit. She then led her outside. Anastasia saw everyone having fun everywhere, even the maids were now dressed in swimsuits. Some were drinking near the pool and some were already in the pool.
Soon as she began walking outside, everything went quiet and everyone looked at her. Anastasia instantly felt her cheeks heating up.
"Luna," someone called. She looked up beside her and saw Edward. "Have some drink," he welcomed as he gave her a glass of wine.
"Where is he?" she couldn't help but ask. Edward knew exactly who she was referring to.
"He said he's taking care of something at the moment."
Perfect.
She was going to wait until the right moment to run away without anyone seeing. She took another sip of her wine, thinking of her plan. A few moments passed by and before she knew it, she was already getting tipsy. It seemed everyone was drunk as well.
Jenny was beside her with pink cheeks. "Jenny, are you okay?"
"Me? Oh, yes. Yes, I'm fine, Luna."
"You're drunk," Anastasia teased. Jenny's perfect black hair and bangs were out of place already.
"Drunk in love, I guess," she muttered under her breath with a chuckle.
She looked so cute.
"Maybe you should rest—"
"Don't worry about me, Luna," she said drunkenly, taking another sip from her wine. "You.. You have no idea.. how lucky you are.." Then she slapped the table with her hand. "..To have him."
Confused, Anastasia questioned, "What do you mean?"
"When you weren't here yet, he's just so reserved all the time. Keeping some things to himself. But now.. He even smiles.." She laughed but then it faded when she looked at her. "Because of you."
Her eyes widened. Anastasia honestly didn't know what else to say. She wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing. But before she could even think of something to say, Jenny screamed as Edward suddenly came out of nowhere.
He took her out of her seat with his arms and tossed her in the pool. Laughter erupted all around her and Anastasia looked at them, shocked. She didn't want to be tossed into the pool as well.
As if hearing her thoughts, Edward looked at her with a drunken smile. "Would you like to swim, Luna?"
"N-No, thanks," she said nervously as she drank her wine. Well, it was getting kind of cold now.
"Come on," he teased, coming closer.
Anastasia tried to back away. But she bumped against a wall. Or was it a wall? She gasped just as someone behind her lifted her up and quickly carried her in his arms.
"D-Draco," she muttered under her breath as she saw his handsome face.
"Baby doll, miss me?" he asked with a smirk before she felt him jumping, water splashing everywhere. He jumped with her into the pool!
As soon as water enveloped all around her, she quickly tried to swim upwards but.. this pool. It was too deep! She couldn't even swim. She reached out her arms until she felt him. Anastasia quickly grabbed onto Draco, his arm circling around her waist.
Once they reached the surface, she found herself clinging to him, her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. She felt so wet, but perhaps not because of the pool.
Draco looked at her with a grin. "I got you."
