Both of us didn't move or speak for a few seconds. I was looking at her in the clamour of emotions. She was looking at me in awe.
I was the one to break the eye contact first. I looked down and stepped into the blue-green water. I was aware of her gaze that was still fixated on me; only me. It was all I wanted; for her to look at me without wavering.
Multiple rings of ripples created around me as I closed the distance between us. It couldn't stop me from straddling forward. Nothing could, at this point. My eyes focused on those ripples. They travelled in all directions. My eyes followed the ripples and at last, saw them touching her at the other end. They touched her body closest to her heart.
She was thoroughly wet. She was wearing a white tunic which had now stuck on her, vaguely exposing her body here and there. Water droplets continued to run down over her flawless skin.
