"No ma'am."
"Shit ass," he grumbles under his breath.
He bends quicks and hooks his arms under my legs. I close my eyes like the scaredy cat I am.
He lays me flat on the way, holding his hands under me. I'm stiff as a board.
"Relax," he touches his hand to the top of my chest and I get a little turned on. I peep open one eye and give him a little smirk to which he rolls his eyes at.
"I can't relax, I feel like I'm going to sink like the Titanic," I breathe out slowly.
"Worst case scenario, you sink but you'll only stay under for a bit 'cause I'll get you," he shrugs like what he said isn't a big deal.
"That's exactly what I'm scared of! You're helping my situation zero percent!" I squint my eyes tighter closed.
He places his hand under my shoulder blades and pushes it up slightly. He raises my legs up to the surface of the water and before I can even start to say anything, he lets go of me.
I almost pee in this pool. I remain calm but on the inside I'm having a heart attack.
"Look at you," his amused voice sounds muffled since there's water in my freaking ears.
"So brave, aren't you?" He continues and I internally give him the middle finger. I'm too scared to move. And I'm not sure if I've taken a breath since he's let go of me.
"You want me to grab you?" He questions and I still don't move. I feel like if I move a muscle, I'll sink.
"Lilah? You know you can stand up here, right?" He questions quietly and my eyes open. From the corner of my eye, I see we're not very far from the ladder in the three-foot part of the pool.
I must've floated back here.
I let my leg sink down and I stand up. Grey looks down at me like he's silently making fun of me.
"Don't make fun of me you boob."

I'm gonna be honest, I've had a rough day. I'm sure y'all know how rough days are. After going back and reading some previous comments on this story, I decided to finish this chapter (which had been halfway done for four days). So don't thank me for this one, I want to thank y'all <3

Chapter 40: Christmas
?Azalea?
December twenty-fifth. It's motherfreaking Christmas.
And I'm ashamed of myself for still being in bed at the moment.
The shower in the bathroom turns off. I rub on Bear's belly who sits next to me, rolled over onto his back.
I'd been up for hours. Since about six. I already showered and did everything I needed to. Then I had laid back down with Grey because I needed a cuddle buddy.
I didn't even want to let him go this morning when he woke up. The little smile he had on his face when I wouldn't let him go was a sign that he liked that. He seems happy today and that makes me happy.
What also makes me happy is how juicy he looks. Oh yeah.
