My Boyfriend's Best Friend

Chapter 12

I froze.

I literally did.

I didn't know what to do.

Currently, I'm standing on the sand, as the breeze blows through my skin.

The smell of the salty sea water and sweat of the people in this beach haunted me.

I was never this far from home.

Never.

I took my shawl, wrapping it on my arms as I warmed myself by rubbing my arms.

"Alexis! Join me!"

I squinted my eyes at him.

That's my boyfriend, Carson Matthews.

My seemingly perfect boyfriend.

"Carson, you know how much I despise water." I scowled.

Anything else is fine, but water--

Is my worst enemy.

Sure, I drink water, but when it comes to swimming--

It's different.

I just never tried swimming before.

It looks so.. scary, not to mention, the sea seem so.. blue.

"There are no sea monsters for the hundredth time, Alexis." Carson replied, mocking me.

Yes, I believe in sea monsters too..

So much for watching cartoons.

"But--"

But before I could even say anything, Carson came running towards the sandy shore, attacking me.

I was lifted up my feet by my hot, bare chested boyfriend.

My cheeks turned crimson and I yelled at the top of my lungs.

"CARSON YOU PUT ME DOWN THIS INSTANT!" I screamed, pounding his back.

"Ouch, you could've done it a bit gentler, you know." Carson said softly, still carrying me.

"Okay, Carson sweetie, it's not nice anymore so please put me down--"

"Not a chance." He smirked, interrupting me as he jumped in the water, splashing the salty water surrounding him.

"No no no Carson, don't put me down anymore, I'm scared." I said, clinging to him.

His smirk grew wider as he went deeper in the sea.

He fixed my position, making me face the water, making me flinch.

"No, Carson, please don't. God, I'm scared."

"You will be scared forever if you don't even try to overcome it." Carson sighed.

"But I wouldn't be able to overcome it if I know I fear it." I replied, rolling my eyes.

"You know that doesn't make sense, Alexis."

I scoffed at him.

"It does too! I know myself I am scared of these things and that's that. I don't need to 'try' it to know that I'm scared."

Suddenly, he plopped me in the freezing sea water.

I gaped at him and threw my arms in the air screaming.

"SOMEBODY HELP ME! I'M DROWNING!!"

"Alexis--"

"DON'T YOU ALEXIS ME YOU BASTARD, I'M DROWNING CAN'T YOU SEE?!?"
