Troy's pov ;)

It was the next morning .

Don't even ask about last night.  It was so hard for me to stop myself from kissing her because I knew she wanted to wait. 

She was so shy and flustered around me but at the same time we were at ease. At least we talked it out.

At the moment we were having breakfast . I saw that Cynthia had decided to join us. Atleast now , Quinton had someone to hang around rather than being a cockblock.

Okay maybe I'm being too harsh on this dude .

I felt a hand brush over my clenched fist . I looked up at Ari who smiled at Josh as they discussed something and she laced our hands together . All the anger seemed to melt and go down the drain.

I continued to eat breakfast with my left hand .

°°°°°

My hand was holding Ari in place while holding the railing on the boat . The guy's decided to rent a boat for the time being. Everyone was swimming around but Ari had a fear of natural water bodies for some reason so we stayed up .

That only meant we'd have more time together .

I kissed her shoulder when my emotions took over and I kissed up to her neck , sucking at one spot . Her hands clenched mine as she leaned onto me . It was a good thing that everyone was swimming on the other side of the boat.

I tugged her hands off and gripped her hip lightly brushing my thumb over her hipbone , that seemed to make her arch her back . I knew , I was probably going to leave a hickey but I also knew that now , she wouldn't mind. 

I crept my hand up to slip my hand under her cropped t-shirt when we heard wolf whistles . I dropped my hand but I held onto her and turned around . There stood the whole sway house howling at us as the blush on Ari's cheeks became more and more distinct.

It was only when their girlfriends finally got to know why they had come back on the boat that they stopped making kissing noises and left again .

Now I had a very red Ari in front of me that looked like she'd rather have the ground swallow her than be here .

I decided to maybe finally bring up the topic that we've been avoiding .

"Ari?"

She was still in the daze .

"Babe?"

No answer .

I kept going on for a few more minutes and no answer.

So I did what I thought could bring her out of her daze. I threw her into the lake .

Oops?

I laughed until I realiation of her fear dawned upon me and I jumped in .

It took a while for me to get her to even take my help until she agreed and clinged onto me like a baby monkey .

I got us back into the boat and she still didn't let go.

I finally sat down on the floor board with her in my arms .

"I'm so sorry , Ari . I've no idea what took over me that I did this ."

I kept chanting my apologies in her ear .

Looks like our talk is going to have to wait .

I know a short chapter but I only posted because people wanted updates. I'm so shook by the blm going on , I'm not in a state of mind to write a story about a tiktoker . I'm trying my best to help through whatever links I can from my house. It's not possible for me to go out and neither is there anyone protesting .

To any of my readers who are black , I support you and respect you . Hopefully I'm providing you a safe place to be yourself ♡

And to all the racists , sexists and homophobes ? Go fuck yourself , please 🙂
