Chapter 108 Lake
Chapter 108 Lake
JESSICA
I scoffed in disbelief, looking away.
"What's wrong?" he asked, sounding like he just said something casual.
I looked at him. "I am not sharing a bed with you."
He scoffed. "Why not?"
I folded my arms. "Are you seriously asking me that?"
"Yeah."
I scoffed in disbelief again.
"Wait....you think I would...." He paused, making me look away as he chuckled.
"You don't have to worry, fireball. I will keep my hands to myself."
I looked at him.
"Ish," he added, smirking.
"What the.....we are not sharing a bed."
"Well, there is only one bed here."
"So?" I asked, moving my eyes to the couch.
He followed my gaze and scoffed.
"Don't tell me you want me to take the couch."
I stared at him with the answer written on my face.
"That's not going to happen," he said, making me scoff internally.
"We have both been walking around the fucking forest all day. We both need to lie down and get some rest. Be fucking reasonable."
"I said I am sharing a bed with you."
"I am not taking the couch either."
I unfolded my hands. "Okay then. I will take the couch." I said, taking steps in the direction.
"Jessica...."
"Leave me alone." I retorted, sitting on the couch, and an unexpected comfort got me.
Hmm.
This is not bad after all.
I sat on the side, placing my head on the edge and my legs on the other edge, feeling a sense of comfort.
"Can you come to bed?"
"No."
"Fine. You can have the bed."
I didn't respond but closed my eyes.
"Jessica,"
I gave no response.
"Can you stop being stubborn and take the damn bed already?"
"Hey leave me alone!" I snapped, scowling at him.
He stared at me.
"Stop bothering me," I said, turning away and closing my eyes.
I heard him heave a sigh and then I heard the bed squeaking.
I can't believe he wanted us to share the bed.
Is he insane?
I won't do that again.
Not after the last time.
My heart raced and the tingle returned between my legs as that night replayed in my head.
I shouldn't be thinking about it. It is a sin.
I haven't even gone for confession yet.
I need to find a church where the priest doesn't know my family and me.
Yeah, that's the right thing to do.
God, I am exhausted,
And cold.
I miss my room back at home.
I love sleeping in my room while it rains.
Covered up under the sheets and listening to the rain as it dropped.
Now....
I moved my eyes to the closed glass window behind the couch.
It is still pouring and flashes of lightning are displaying in the sky.
Sighing, I closed my eyes. Here I am on a couch that smells like wood in a strange cabin.
God help me please.
Make tomorrow better please.
Please Lord.
NEXT DAY.......
I opened my eyes, taking in the bright sun hitting my face through the window.
I turned to the side, closing my eyes and feeling the relaxing comfort of the soft bed.
Hmm.
I love soft beds. It feels just like mine back at home and.....
Wait a minute.
I opened my eyes and I saw a wall. I looked around me and I realized I was on the bed.
What the......
I quickly sat up, looking around.
I am literally on the bed.
How did I get on -
I can't see him anywhere. The room has become brighter, the candle has finished being on overnight and Uncle Xavier is not in here.
I moved my eyes to the couch, recalling falling asleep on it.
Did he pick me up from there and place me on the bed?
My heart picked up as I imagined how he did it. I don't remember being moved.
Why did he do that?
Where is he though?
He did not leave me here did he? I won't be surprised cause he is heartless enough to do that.
I got on my feet and moved towards the door.
Opening it, I walked out of the cabin but stopped in my tracks the minute I heard the sound of someone diving into a river.
I followed the sound. It is coming from the left side of the cabin.
I stopped in my tracks at the sight of a lake and my uncle is in it.
Naked.
Naked upper body.
I gulped as I stared at his bare back facing me as he brushed his wet hair to the back with his hands.
My eyes roamed his flexing muscles as he kept touching his hair.
He is really chiseled and has flawless skin and the way he is touching his dark wet hair is....
He turned around, forcing a gasp out of me as I turned my back instantly.
Oh God.
He caught me staring.
"Oh hey," he called, making me close my eyes as regret filled me.
"You are awake."
I did not respond.
Next, I heard him getting out of the water, making my heart race.
"I found this lake so I decided to take a bath in it. Wanna try it?"
I didn't respond as I felt more uneasy the more he spoke.
"It is very refreshing."
I took weak steps ahead but he held my hand, catching me off guard as I looked at him.
His wet face and green eyes on me added to my racing heart.
His wet half-naked body is giving me a lot of pressure!
"What's wrong?"
I released my hand from his hold.
"Stop holding me like that."
He raised his hands slightly in surrender as I rubbed my arm nervously.
"Sorry about that. I was a little bit worried."
I scoffed. "Yeah right. Aren't you tired of faking it?"
He furrowed his brows. "Faking what?"
"You are not a good person, Mr Cole. So stop acting as if you care about anyone."
He huffed, looking awaf.
"Why was I on the bed when I woke up?"
He looked at me and smiled.
"Oh, that? I placed you on it so you can have a comfortable goodnight sleep," he said, still smiling.
I scoffed. "I didn't ask you to do that."
He raised his brows.
"Why can't you stay away from me huh?"
He scoffed. "Well, you are welcome," he said, moving towards the spot where he kept his clothes.
I felt a weird feeling between my legs as I stared at his body in nothing but his black briefs.
He picked up his clothes and began to wear them.
I looked away, calming my nerves and trying to stop this weird feeling.
Next, I sensed him approaching me.
I looked at him as my heart raced faster.
"The lake is yours. We leave in twenty minutes," he said, walking past me.
I let out a breath, feeling my racing heart slow as I stared at the lake.
I looked behind me and I saw him still walking towards the cabin.
He got out of sight and I turned my attention back to the lake.
I took steps closer to it and began taking off my clothes.
I placed them aside, leaving only my panties on as I held my boobs. I walked into the water till it swallowed half of my body.
I let go of my boobs and moved my hands on the water.
The feeling is great. The water is refreshing like he said.
Now I wish I had gotten my soap with me.
I hope we find our way back to the resort today. Everyone must be panicking about our whereabouts by now.
Mom most especially.
I don't want to imagine how she is feeling about my absence right now.
I twirled slowly, feeling devastated about my mom and....
"Whoa,"
I jumped, covering my boobs instantly at the sight of Uncle Xavier standing at the banks with his hands in his pockets, staring at me.
"What on earth is your problem?! What are you doing here?! Pervert!" I yelled, scowling at him.
"Relax, fireball. I didn't see anything."
"Liar!" I snapped.
He scoffed. "I am serious. I didn't see enough."
I furrowed my brows. "What?"
"Is it just me or did your boobs get bigger than the last time I saw them?"
"Ugh! Get out!" I splashed water on him, making him move back and shielding himself with his hand while chuckling.
"Go away!" I kept throwing water at him,
"Hey,"
"Go!" I yelled, still splashing water at him.
"Okay okay. I am go....." he paused, staring at something behind me.
"What are you still doing here?!"
"Get out of the water," he said without looking at me but extending his hands to me.
I furrowed my brows. "What?"
He is still staring at whatever with all seriousness.
I attempted to look behind me but......
"Get out of the water right now, Jessica!
My heart dropped as I quickly ran out of the water with my hands still holding my boobs.
I ran towards him and he held me close.
I looked at the lake.
I didn't see anything out of the ordinary, making me furrow my brows.
"What was that?" I asked, looking up at him.
He smirked.
What the.....
"I knew you would buy that," he said, winking at me.
UGH!!
