Chapter 53 THE WORST PRANK
1659words
He stares at me not saying any word, his breathing starts to change as he looks at me deeply, and then getting closer he whispers, "I want to kiss you."
And then just in seconds, he captures my lips taking me by surprise. I don't understand why he keeps pouncing on me out of blue, every time.
His hand starts their sweet torture as he sinks his hand at my back. Squeezing me harshly, he presses himself into me, his groin hard pressing on my thighs, I moan in response.
I go completely out of my senses from his sensual kiss, and when I gain my senses back I realize that he has carried me into deep water, "Ahh… what have you done?" I exclaim, frightened.
I hold his neck tightly scared, panicking, I start to move violently and he holds me down, firmly, "Sssshh… Calm down…" He says with a controlled voice, I didn't even realize when he pull me here.
He kissed me to distract me, jerk…
My legs wrap around his waist tightly and he tries to stifle his laughter as I turn into a complete chimpanzee in his arms. Very slowly and gently, he pushes my legs away and now only my arms are holding his neck.
I try to put my legs again around his waist but he simply stops me from doing it with his hands, "Tessy, let go.." He says and I frown, reluctantly, I stop struggling and lose my legs they eventually start to float making me stunned.
"They.." I shout but Andrew cut me off instantly, "Don't focus on them."
"So, here is the deal, now you will start slowly paddling your legs while looking in my eyes, if you look down I'll kiss you." I was still bewildered by the things that just happened to me when Andrew's voice makes me pause.
"What?" I cry out, and he smirks, "Ready?" he holds my waist cautiously and I shake my head, frightenedly, "No."
"Good girl, look at me, Tessy. And paddle slowly," He instructs, and eventually I start to do as he said but I can't stop myself from looking down, the depth of water is too deep, I am afraid and nervous and there a peck on my lips distracts me.
"That's one," Andrew smirks.
"Please… Let's go back…" I pleaded but he simply shake his head in refusal.
I start paddling my legs again and again my eyes go down, and his pecks come again making me irritated. I stare at him and he looks pleased, "Yeah, focus on me… Only me." He says with a smile while I throw daggers at him from my eyes.
"Keep paddling." He reminds me and I come back to reality, we did this thing for like 15 minutes and he kiss me at least 10 times during this time. I don't care much about it because I was more concerned about the depth of water in which I was paddling.
Andrew brings me back to the shallow end and once my feet touch the ground, I push him away angrily and hurriedly step out of the pool.
He falls dramatically into the water, I know he is pretending, I didn't push him that hard and besides he knows how to swim, but he just stays at his place, floating in the water with his head down, I wait for a few minutes, he is fine, it's a prank.
He is fine, I keep chanting in my mind, shivering from the cold, and suddenly, I feel panic as I start to think of the worst possibility and I run towards him not caring about the cold water, or the depth of water.
I rush towards him and I am half soaked in water when suddenly he looks up and starts to splash the water on me… "I knew it.." I yell excited and hoarsely, my eyes filled with tears, Just the thought of something bad happening to him can make me cry for hours.
I cry as I splash the water back on him angrily… "You are the worst…" I choke, trembling, and then shakily make my way out of the pool. I was walking away angrily when a firm hold on my wrist stops me all of the sudden.
"Tessy…" Andrew breathes all wet from the water, he looks anxious, why?
I push him away angrily, "Don't… Don't talk to me." I say emotionally and keep walking away, he suddenly hugs me from behind and then tries to calm me, "It was a prank… I am sorry.."
I start crying heavily as I think of his terrible prank that nearly squeezes out the life from me, he turns me to face him and then hugs me gently, "It's ok…"
"N…ev…er… Never... Prank… on your life… Never…" I stutter in his arms, sobbing and he keeps comforting me. After a while when I feel calm, I pull myself away from him, "I am cold." I complain wrapping my hands around my body.
Andrew looks around and then walks away, he emerges after a while and then covers me with a big towel, "Let's go back to the room." We walk back to our room and change into clean dry clothes.
I crawl into bed feeling exhausted mentally and physically too, Andrew as expected pulls me into his arm, and I rest my head on his chest hearing his heartbeat is a soothing and relaxing therapy for me.
My body tense as I remember his body floating in the pool, "Tessy, calm down…" Andrew's grip tightens on my waist as he breathes over my head but my mind still lingers on that disturbing images.
"That blue color really suits you, We should get more blue swimsuits." Andrew says taking my attention, "More swimsuits, why?" I raise my brow as I look up at him.
"So we can practice daily…" Andrew replies and I widen my eyes, "No, I am not going daily.." I tell him firmly but he just chuckles in response, "We'll see."
I start fuming in anger and then after a while, I fall asleep in his warm embrace.
***
The upcoming days we spend learning to swim, now I don't have the fear of water and I didn't even give any single chance to Andrew to kiss me, I was too focused even when he tries to manipulate me I didn't look down at all.
I am starting to like the water, now, just like I am starting to get comfortable in my husband's presence, his closeness, his coquettish words to me, and especially his sudden kiss attacks on me.
I don't understand why he doesn't go further and stop after a kiss, what is it that is stopping him from taking a further step?
I had already embarrassed myself before throwing myself on him, I won't repeat that mistake again but his sweet assaults are torturing me and I am starting to feel an itch between my legs probably for his….
I stop dwelling my mind on the erotic thoughts. I need to stay calm and cool, not horny, not impatient, and not angry at all.
I look at the date, It's the 29th of April, the last week of the month. If I calculate the days from our marriage, Today marks the 74th day of our marriage.
I smile as I realize that I have made this marriage last for 74 days and more to come hopefully.
RING… RING… RING…
My phone rings and my train of thoughts breaks. My smile widen when I see that it was from my husband.
"Hello." I pick up the phone with a wide smile on my face.
"Tessy, I will get late tonight." He informs and my mood starts to sulk, I want to ask why but somehow I stop, "Ok." I manage to say one word, disheartened.
"Tessy, have your dinner on time, ok." he commands and I obey, "Ok."
"Also, could you wait for me?" He asks and I frown, "But you said you are going to be late." I remind him.
"No, I mean could you stay awake until I reach home there is something I need to talk to you about." He says and I sense danger. "What is it, Andrew?" and he seems to purse his lips.
"Tessy, Goodbye.." He says and hangs the call, leaving my emotions hanging in turmoil.
I stare at my phone for a long time, I hope my little celebration won't get ruined by Andrew's talk. I feel like I am on pin and needles, what is it that Andrew wants to talk about, and that also so late at night?
My worries start to get more and more with each passing second, Soon it turns dark and the panic in my heart starts to get worsen, "Miss, please start eating. It's been half an hour you are just staring at the peas, Please eat." Miss Celine urges and she literally forces me to finish my plate.
I don't understand her weird behavior before she never sits beside me and forces me to finish my dinner, is it because Ann is not home everyone has started to live carefree in this house.
Even, though Andrew has started to eat lots of junk food, and cakes, he barely follows his diet, except for his morning running I don't see anything familiar with his past at all.
He is more talkative than before, he smiles a lot, and not forgetting his sudden affection for me, and us sharing a bed. I wonder if Andrew has honestly started to accept me as his wife? Or is he planning something new, something terrible to explode on me tonight?
