Chapter 207 - Bring your cuffs (1/2)
Kris let Lena down as he carried her to the rooftop.
”Wait there.” He said.
Kris walked and pressed a button so the covering of the pool opened, displaying the clean water of the pool. Lena smiled and ran toward the pool.
”CANNONBALL!” And plopped. She went down to the deep side of the pool.
Her head popped out and she trod on the water. ”Are you going to join me?”
”Soon.” He smiled at her before turning around. He left to go back down to his house as Lena hopped swam to the ledge to wait for him.
A few minutes later, he came up with a bottle of wine and two glasses. ”Just one bottle to celebrate.”
He popped the bottle and poured them to the glasses. He gave one for Lena to sip before taking it back and placing both of theirs on the table.
”Do you want me to just join you like this?” Kris was referring to their uncomfortable clothes that were not meant for swimming.
”Yeah...” Lena laughed. ”Look at my gown, you can see my underwear.”
Her nightgown was floating on top of the water and not covering her at all. It was a dress after all. Kris slid down the ledge and join Lena in the pool. Lena swam to him and held his hand. He dragged him to the middle of the pool.
”I thought we were going to continue off where we left off in the elevator?” Kris curiously asked.
”We are celebrating. We should do something fun!”
”Ok... like?”
”I want to know if you can really breathe longer if you kiss underwater.”
Kris had utterly no word to describe the mind of Lena. He burst into a small laugh and then he dived his head underwater. He pulled Lena's leg for her to join him. She dived in with him. She only stayed for 15 seconds before kicking her leg and going back up for a breath.
She only took a quick breath before Kris pulled her down underwater again. He immediately kissed her. It only lasted for a few seconds and Lena went back up for a breath of air. She was cough and breathing really hard.
Kris popped out 5 seconds later and looked at his exhausted Lena and laughed. ”You're so cute.”
”It's not funny. It's horrible! It doesn't work!”
”It does.” Kris swam close to Lena. ”You were thinking too much about the kiss and not breathing. Let's try again.”
Kris dived back down. Lena took a deep breath and went down with him. She countdown on her fingers for 10 seconds before they can kiss. After that, she grabbed Kris and they kissed. This time, she focused on the breathing and they lasted for a while more. But she knew it was ineffective.
She and Kris went back up together and she took a deep breath of fresh air. ”Phew! How can you breathe so long?” Lena asked.
”I was meant to breath longer so I can save you.”
”Aw... C'mere!” Lena leaned in and gave Kris a smooch on his lips. She swam back to the ledge and hop out, her nightgown completely soaked.
She walked up to the table and grabbed the bottle of wine. She took a drink and then walked to the stairs to go back down to the main house.
