Chosen By The Moon
Chapter 173
“Holy shit…” I gasped as I bobbed up to the surface. “It’s freezing” Lewis let out a deep chuckle as he swam over to me. My feet treading the deep water and my lips chattering slightly.
“I could have told you that, but your reaction was too funny. That smug grin of his caused mischief to cloud my eyes and I quickly jumped on his head and shoved it under the water. Once he came back up he pushed his hands towards me, splashing my entire head. “I suppose you thought that was funny?”
“Yeah a little bit.” I smiled and splashed him again. It was really nice to have some childish fun, it had been far too long since I was able to just let myself laugh, I found it really easy with Lewis though. He had a way of bringing smiles
out of me.
After about half an hour I found myself getting really out of breath, not exercising and not being fed properly will do that to you I suppose. So my hands found Lewis’s shoulder and I laughed again while using him as a float.
“Are You ok?” Lewis met my eyes and I saw slight concern rest on his features, god he was hot. I nodded my head and looked up at the evening sun blaring down. For some reason I felt the need to blurt out what had been on my mind.
“I’m ok…” he shook his head again and sighed chuckling hollowly, I think my automatic response was really starting to annoy him.
“Do you know how frustrating it is when you say you’re ok when you clearly aren’t. Just once I want you to say exactly how you feel, you don’t need to be tough all the time.” I smiled while still panting for breath, and my teeth chattered from the cold water as I smiled at the way he genuinely cared about me. “We should get out and warmed up, you must be freezing by now.” I shook my head and swallowed looking into his eyes with nothing but curiosity swimming in
mine.
“Can I ask you a random question?” He cocked his head slightly to the side in confusion but nodded his head yes, all the same. “Do you believe in ghosts?”
“Ghosts?” I knew I would confuse him. But I had to ask, I had too much going on to be worried about wether I was. actually being haunted or not.
“Yeah, you know, ghosts. They Haunt people, shout boo, speak in a whisper… I mean some of them, well, some of them might even glow.” It didn’t take long for him to start laughing at me while I inadvertently began to playfully sulk.
“Don’t laugh at me.”
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry. It’s just I never would have thought you’d be talking about ghosts.” He remained chuckling so I dunked his head under the water again just to shut him up.
“So I take it ghosts aren’t real then?” My face was flat and slightly disheartened by the time he bobbed back up. If ghosts weren’t real then I was undoubtedly seeing and hearing things that weren’t there. I think he finally realized that I wasn’t joking when I asked and so his face went pretty serious rather quickly.
“No, there’s no record of any kind relating to ghosts, just stories made up by people.” I nodded my head and let
his shoulders before moving away from him. “Dylan… What is going on with you? Talk to me, please just talk to me.”
Well, I couldn’t exactly tell him that I was seeing and hearing things could I? And I couldn’t tell him how much his
