Jackson Drake
Louella fell right into the pool and I laughed so hard. I felt my sides started to hurt a little and I stroked my sides as I tried to control my laughter. I do not regret paying those men a huge sum of money. They did their job well or I must say, very well. They made me so happy tonight but Louella made me happier. She is just so amusing tonight and I can't wait to show this video to my friends. I bet, their stomachs would hurt too after watching it.
I noticed one of my men started walking towards me and I eyed him confusedly. He was the same man who asked me if Louella was coming or not. What does he want this time?
"Boss, does she know how to swim?" He asked as he scratched his head.
"Why would I care?" I retorted as I continued to laugh.
"Boss, if we won't get her out of the pool now, she might drown." He replied as he looked at me worriedly.
"Can you just shut up and wait until I tell you to get her out of the pool?!" I snarled and he nodded at me before he bowed his head.
"I'm so sorry, boss." He answered and I glared at him before replying.
"What the hell are you waiting for?!" I growled and he looked at me confusedly.
"Why did Dave hire such a stupid person?!" I grunted.
"Leave before I punch your goddamn face!" I bawled out and then he scrammed.
I looked at the pool area again and I saw Louella paddling to get to the surface but she is just sinking. She is trying to come up for air and she looks so helpless. Poor girl, she looks so pitiful but she deserves that! She dared to mess with me and now, she has to face the consequences.
"Boss! I think, she is drowning. Shall I rescue her?" I heard one of my men shouted.
"Let her be, she's just probably acting." I said as I continued to laugh.
"Boss! I think, she's really drowning!" Another man spoke out.
"Aren't we going to save her now?" Another man asked.
"I said, let her be!" I growled as I glared at them.
"If she will die, I don't want to be imprisoned! My mother is sick and my siblings are still young, they can't take care of her. I don't want to be-" I cut him off.
This man is really getting in my nerves. Why can't he just shut his mouth?!
"Shut up! Didn't you hear me?! No one will save her unless I said so!" I shouted at them and their eyes widened in fear.
"Boss! She isn't moving anymore! She's sinking! She's sinking!" One of them spoke up disquietly.
"Boss! She is drowning! Save her! Save her!" Another man shouted.
"Boss! You need to save her now or else, she will die." The man added and my heart skipped a beat after hearing the last word.
"Boss, please, save her now!" Another man piped up.
Fear is plastered on my men's faces as they started to panic. They started muttering and I am sure that they are talking about her but I could not comprehend what they are saying. I do not know why but I am suddenly feeling a little nervous.
I can no longer see Louella from where I stand so I quickly went towards the pool area and glanced at the pool. She is not paddling anymore and I saw her slowly sinking.
She seriously does not know how to swim?! Didn't she attend a swimming class when she was a child?! How could she be this stupid?! Swimming is a basic skill that everyone should learn. What if she boarded a ship and that ship sank? How can she survive? This woman is so unbelievable!
I am not planning to drown her more so, kill her. I just want to make fun of her and that is all. I may be heartless but I am not a freaking murderer and I do not want to be imprisoned either.
I will rescue her not because I want to but because I have to. She still has to live since I am not yet done with her.
"Leave!" I shouted at my men and they all looked at me confusedly.
"I said, leave!" I snarled and then they scrammed.
I quickly took off my shoes, sweatshirt and pants, then I jumped into the pool. The water is cold but I do not mind. I swam towards her and I caught her right before she hits the floor. I lifted her body and held her waist on my right hand as I swam towards the poolside.
Her weight made it easier for me to maneuver in water. She is so damn light! Do her parents starve her at home? Is she eating properly? This is not right! I should not think of that!
I lifted her body with both hands and laid her on the poolside carefully. She is so light so I was able to do that without having any difficulties. I lifted myself and sat beside her. I shook her body but she did not move. I pinched her earlobes a couple of times but she is still unconscious.
"What have you done Drake?!" I mumbled as I exhaled heavily.
I will save her, she has to live. I know what to do, I know how to handle this situation. I have attended lots of seminar about pool safety and how to save drowning people. I surely can do this.
I tilted her chin and head backwards, this would help her clear her airway. I leaned over her and I saw her chest slowly rising and falling. This is a sign of breathing but I need to check her vital signs further. I placed my cheek near her mouth and nose and then I sighed. I felt relieved when I felt her warm breath on my cheek. She is breathing, she is alive but I do not think she is safe now. She is still unconscious and she is not opening her eyes yet. I wonder if I should give her rescue breaths now?
I shook her body and lightly slap her cheeks but she is not still responding. I think, I should give her rescue breaths now. I prepared myself and leaned over her. I parted her lips and pinched her nose. I inhaled deeply and then I placed my mouth over hers. To my surprise, her lips are soft. I breathed into her mouth and after a few moments, she started coughing. I accidentally bit her lower lip and I quickly moved my mouth away from hers. She is still coughing and I could not help but worry for her.
This is not freaking right! How could she make me this nervous?! Hell, I am even worried for her!
She stopped coughing and I looked at her. She is probably gathering the remaining strength in her body in order to open her eyes. I gazed at her face and there, I saw her thick eyebrows, naturally curled long eyelashes, cute and slightly turned up nose and small bow-shaped reddish lips. Those features match her small and round face perfectly. She has a fair complexion and she has tiny moles on her face. She has a mole located in the corner of her left eye, one in between her eyebrows, one in the corner of her lips and the other is just above her upper lip.
She looks so ordinary from afar but now that I am looking at her closely, I never thought that she would look this cute. She seems so ordinary but there is something unexplainable that makes me want to stare at her and I could not take my eyes off of her. I could not explain this feeling. Heck, I do not even know what I am feeling! Why am I even saying these things anyway?!
I saw her eyes moving and then she started blinking. I was in daze and I was pulled out of it when she opened her eyelids and there, I saw her deep almond-shaped brown eyes. I looked away for a moment but then I returned my gaze at her.
She stared at me confusedly and then she squinted her eyes. I looked at her for a moment and then my peripheral vision caught the sight of her lips. I started to move my face closer to hers. It feels like someone has possessed my body. I do not know what is wrong with me but I could not freaking control myself. She made a grimace before she spoke.
"What the hell are you trying to do Drake?!" She asked which pulled me out of my trance.
Right! What the hell am I trying to do? Why can't I answer that goddamn question?! I loathe this woman but why do I want to stare at her a little longer. Heck, I even want to touch her cheeks. What is worse is that I almost kissed her. It feels like someone has really possessed my body.
I can't understand myself right now. What the hell is wrong with me?
