Chapter 5 - Adrenaline

Misha's POV

We went to the backyard to meet my mom at the patio.

I was thrilled to see the jacuzzi and the small house at the corner of the backyard. There was also a BBQ space with circular marble bench and a pool next to the jacuzzi. I am not a pool person, but when I dipped my hand to check the temperature of the water, it was surprisingly warm. I looked at my mom sitting at the chair in the patio with a confused expression.

"The pool has a temperature modifying feature where it adjusts to the environment's temperature and the human's temperature." Mom explained like she read my mind.

"Well that explains it" I responded. I am not really a pool person but since this one doesn't send me shivers, then I would consider using it next time. I did try to act like I loved it when I was acting as an athlete. I tried out as a varsity in swimming and got in. It didn't last though because we need to move out again after a year.

"Misha come here and eat your breakfast. Your hand is going to look like prunes if you won't stop dipping your hand." mom said. I didn't notice what I was doing so I immediately stood up like a kid caught in act. You can't blame me, the water keeps pulling me in. My mom giggled.

"You know I like warm water mom" I retorted.

"I know darling. That is why we added a feature like that so you can enjoy the pool" my mom said laughed.

"Thank you mom. I really mean it" I said. My mom just smiled and passed me the bread.

"You have to thank your father too. Most of the money spent for the house came from him" she said. I smiled and looked at the skies.

"Thank you to you too dad!" I shouted.

"You are not a kid anymore Misha. Stop shouting." my mom scolded me.

"You told me to thank him" I retorted.

"Yes, but you can say it quietly" she said.

"Okay mom. By the way, can I go out for a stroll" I asked.

"Sure, just don't talk to strangers" she said and started eating.

"HA HA! Very funny mom!" I rolled my eyes from her sarcasm. She laughed with her mouth still full.

"Swallow before you laugh mom. Now you can't blame me for acting like a kid." I laughed and she pouted. I laughed even more when she did that. When I recovered from laughing, she immediately went back to compose herself and drank her red wine.

"Ehem. Alright, you should bring Lara with you" she said.

"WHAT? NO! I can handle going out by myself mom." I said.

"I was just kidding darling" she laughed and resumed eating. When I finished eating I excused myself and went back to my bedroom's bathroom and brushed my teeth. I went downstairs and was about to go out when I was stopped by Lara.

"Ms. Misha, madame told me to escort you out and specifically said not to go out in front of the gate if you will go alone. It is for your own safety so please understand.", she explained.

"Oh alright, I better not get myself kidnapped", I smiled and winked at her which then earned a blush from her. I followed her to the mini house near the pool and entered the house. It looks very cozy. It has a sofa with a very soft cushion, a carpet that extends near the fireplace and has a room and a bathroom inside. There was a fridge and a mini counter on the left side. A flat screen TV attached to the wall. She lead me to the bedroom and followed suit. I was pretty nervous. I don't know why, but maybe I was just a little bit paranoid. I mean, who is crazy enough to go into a bedroom with a person I have just met. I know we are both girls but it was too much for me.

She locked the door and opened the cabinet. She told me to go inside with her. I was skeptical at first but I went inside as well. It was veeery awkward. The silence was deafening and we were just an inch apart that even I can hear her pounding heart, or is it mine? Well, whatever.

"Please bear with me. I forgot to turn it on.", Lara said in a small voice. Turn what on? Is she trying to.... My mind was thinking about a lot of green stuff that I didn't notice that she was already reaching out something behind my back. I leaned on the cabinet and she leaned further.

"Please come closer to me" She said. I did as she told. We were very close that our lips were about to touch. So I just closed my eyes and waited for what is to come. I heard something being nudged and so I opened my eyes. I saw Lara blushing like a tomato trying to hide her face. The lights have been turned on and I didn't even notice it. When did I get to have these kind of thoughts.

"Ehem, uhmmm. Why are we here again?" I inquired. She kept silent and fumbled something behind my back.

"Please hold on to me for a while. We will be outside in no time" she instructed. I held her fingers and waited for something to happen. Is she playing games with me? We can just go out from here why do we need to wait.

"Please hold my shoulders instead." she said. She's quite demanding but I still did it.

"Now let's go" she said and the cabinet immediately dropped us. I was screaming my lungs out.

"HOLD ONNN!" she shouted and I couldn't hear her much because I was screaming. I saw tubes everywhere and traveled to some as if we were being sucked. I closed my eyes and just hoped that all of this will be over.

"We are here. Please open your eyes" she said. A metal door slid open and I found myself tightly hugging her. She was slightly smaller than me so her lips touched my left shoulder.

"So-sorry! I didn't mean to" I said stuttering. She giggled and said it was okay.

"Please be careful stepping out" she said.

"Alright, but please tell me what just happened" I asked her. Totally confused. I went down first and she followed. My legs still felt shaky and weak.

"We took the T tube. The T tube functions like a pneumatic tube which serves as a means of transportation that is a lot faster due to the air pressure." Lara said.

"Wow! It is really cool to have this kind of contraption, but you know, it would have been better if you EXPLAINED IT TO ME FIRST!" I shouted still shocked from what happened.

"Uhmmm. Uhh." Lara seemed to be not sure of what to say.

"Give her a break will you?" a voice unbeknownst to me. It was said rudely but her voice was clear and let's just say it sounded SEXY. I gulped and turned my head to the side, only to see the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. She was like one of my mother's coworkers but way more stunning than them and she doesn't have make up on.

"Who are you?" I asked. I was waiting for her response for a few seconds and she just stared down at me(because she was around 3 inches taller than me).

"I am____....
