Chapter 6 I Can’t Swim
Just as Becca entered, she could hear cheers from the pool. The men drinking together all looked at her.
"Here comes Mrs. Lewis!" They rose. The two tall men frightened Becca. She halted. "They are also Mr. Lewis' brothers and shareholders of Nova." Bill introduced them to Becca.
Becca glanced at the women in another pool, noticing they were all staring in another direction. She was curious and walked forth.
In the blue pool, a man with a good physique was swimming easily like a fish. The lines of his body were clearly shown as he moved.
Kelvin only wore his swimming trunks. His legs were straight and strong. He's very slim with perfect abdominal muscles. With his tallness balancing his strong size, plus his cold and fair face, he's very handsome. No wonder the women were all attracted by him.
"Mrs. Lewis, do you want me to bring a swimming suit for you?"
Becca shook her head. She couldn't swim. Several years ago, she nearly drowned herself, and since then, she had never thought about swimming.
As they were talking, Kelvin swam to her. He rose from the water, mopping his face with one hand. Water drops were flying everywhere from his short hair. He smiled at her. The way he looked up at her stunned her.
She must confess that he was the most handsome man she had ever met. Once she thought Albert was the most handsome man in her life, but Kelvin was so masculine and tough. "Come down." Kelvin reached out his hand.
Becca looked around. She could tell that the other women were all thirsty for him and staring at her with envy and jealousy. Becca did not want to irritate them, so she took a step back. But at that moment, Kelvin rose and grabbed Becca's ankle. Becca couldn't stand still and fell into the water.
"Ah!" Becca screamed as she sank into the water. The water was flowing into her mouth and nose, reminding her of the terror of drowning. She struggled hard, thinking she was going to die here. However, Kelvin held her waist from the back and supported her up from the water. Becca kept gasping for fresh air, letting Kelvin lead her to the edge of the pool.
"You don't know how to swim?" Kelvin put his hand under her armpit, holding her with her back facing the edge, as if she was a kid. He held her in case she slipped back to the water. Becca was frightened. She kept shaking her head and brushing her hair aside. When she realized what had happened, she spewed the water in her mouth at Kelvin, "Nuts!" Her voice was loud, full of fury after being tricked. Several men nearby laughed when they heard Becca.
Kelvin was not irritated, but he took back his hand. Becca could feel herself sinking again. She put her hands around Kelvin's neck in great terror, her legs twined around him like a koala. "I'm nuts. Why are you still holding me?" Kelvin had a desire to trick her.
Becca turned her head to the other side, "Help me up there!"
"I can help you, but not up there," Kelvin said. Becca did not realize how erotic their posture looked, but Kelvin did. What had happened last night exhilarated him.
Becca got wet. He could see through her white shirt and see what he had left on her body.
"You... you rogue!" Becca slapped him hard on the shoulder, stirring up a splash of water.
"You'd better stay still," Kelvin warned her, “Or, I'll just get you laid right here.”
Becca went pale. The attention from the people around embarrassed her. She hid her head under his chin, 'Please don't let anyone who knows me see this, or my reputation will be tarnished.' "Are you shy? Don't worry, we've got married." Kelvin was satisfied with her reaction.
"Hey!" Becca got back to her mind hearing this, "I've just got to ask you, what are those marriage certificates all about? It was my fault to have been mistaken you for a... But you shouldn't coax me into signing that! That's not moral!"
Becca said to him severely, "Marriage should be taken seriously! How can you play with that?"
"Oh, really?" Kelvin raised his eyebrows, "But it was you who repeated to the officer that you volunteered to do so last night."
