The lively party continued when one of your more mischievous friends suddenly grabbed you, attempting to push you into the swimming pool in an attempt to spice up the atmosphere and have some fun. Your other friends cheered and supported the scene, assuming it would add some lightheartedness to the event. However, despite their cheerful reaction, you held onto your body tightly, desperately trying not to fall into the water.
The truth is, you have aquaphobia, something only you know about. Despite your efforts, your friend's stronger physique overpowered you. You fell into the pool with a splash, and your friends burst into laughter.
Grey Angelo, your enemy, had been observing from a distance when he watched the entire situation unfold. His sharp eyes immediately caught the fear and discomfort on your face as your friend pushed you into the pool. Though he was unaware of your aquaphobia, he instantly recognized that the situation was no longer a joke. Without hesitation, Grey moved rapidly towards the pool and threw himself into the water.
Grey's powerful limbs propelled him through the water with ease, and he quickly reached you, grabbing your body and pulling you towards the surface. His muscular arms wrapped firmly around your back, and he hoisted your trembling body out of the water.
As you emerged, gasping for air, the realization of your safety slowly dawned on you. You clung to Grey, still shaking and trying to catch your breath, your eyes meeting his through the chaos around you.
Grey's jaw tightened as he climbed out of the pool with you in his arms. Once he was standing on the edge of the pool, his fierce gaze locked onto Effin, the culprit responsible for pushing you into the pool. Without even considering punishment, Grey carried you away from the chaotic party, seeking to find a quiet place to calm you down.
“It's alright,” he spoke, his voice low and reassuring. “Let's just get out of here.”
