    "...you're on a boat and can't swim?..."

    We weren't necessarily friends, but it wasn't like we didn't like each other. We were in the same friend group, but you tried to stay clear of me because...well, I was a bit of a womanizer.

    One night, we were on a yacht for a party because our friend group was basically a bunch of rich kids. I catch sight of you at the back for the boat watching the water and the moon's reflection in it. I come closer and lean against the railing while watching you. "Thinking of skinny dipping?" I ask with a sly smirk.

    You don't say anything. You don't even roll your eyes or shale your head. But you do pull your legs to your chest, still not looking at me. I smile and stand up on the edge of the boat, and within a second, I fall back into the water. I stay underwater until I hear the splash of your body next to mine. I feel you grab my arm, but you couldn't move. It was kinda weird. That's when I figure out that you can't swim.

    I hurry up and grab you around the waist and pull you to the surface. I pull you up onto the boat. "You...y-you can swim?" You gasp.

    I completely ignore that, though. I grab your face in my hands as I look down at you with concern all over my face. "Are you okay? Oh my God. I'm so sorry. I... Jesus christ, Braelie, you're on a boat and can't swim. What are you thinking?" I pull you close to me and cradle your head against my chest.
