LILY’S POVÂ
LIGÂ
“Wow, that’s beautiful.” I said, amazed as I gazed at the clear water rushing down the stream. Different colored tropical flowers surrounded it and i looked at the many colored fishes in the water swimming away..Â
It really was beautiful! How did Asher get to know this place? Why haven’t I heard about this before? Oh right, I’m always studying in my dorm room, no time to explore I thought sullenly.Â
“It is, isn’t it.” He whispered back, looking at me with an emotion I couldn’t decipher.Â
I blushed when he looked at me that way and got hot all of a sudden, wishing I could get in that water to cool off. Clearing my throat, I looked away from him. Don’t you dare have feelings for that asshole, Lily, he bullied you remember? My conscience reminded meÂ
“Let’s have a swim.” He said excitedly, while taking off his shoes.Â
He moved forward and forgot I was resting on him, which resulted in me losing my balance and falling face first in the dirt. Letting out a groan, I pushed myself off the ground.Â
“You little shit, a warning next time!” I all but growled at him.Â
He chuckled, “Relax, at least you’ll come in the water now.”Â
“Are you trying to say I stink?” I asked while raising my eyebrow.Â
“I didn’t say that.” He rushed out.Â
“Because you’re the one who needs the shower, I could smell your dirty ass a mile away.” I snorted and raised my nose in a snobby manner.Â
“You didn’t seem to complain a while ago and if I recall, you even snuggled closer to my dirty ass.” He retorted, sarcasm dripping in his tone.Â
“I was tired, I didn’t have a choice.” I answered back lamely.Â
“Why were you tired when I was the one doing all the walking and holding your heavy ass?” He joked.Â
“You weren’t complaining when you squeezed that heavy ass, now, did you?” I snarled.Â
“What can I say, it was begging to be squeezed.” He shrugged.Â

I my eyebrow in question “What, did my ass magically tell you to squeeze it?”Â
He groaned “Oh my god, can we just stop? I’m tired of bickering with you.”Â
“Fine, but this isn’t over.” I muttered back while pointing a finger at him.Â
Rolling his eyes, he took off his shirt before getting ready to remove his pants. I turned around blushing and blocked my eyes with my hands. I really wanted to turn around and look at him, but forced myself to not look and give him some privacy. I was starting to be a pervert.Â
“You know you can look now.” He chuckled.Â
Turning around, I still kept my eyes blocked and peeked through my fingers to see him. He was already in the water, floating and swimming. When did he get in the water? I uncovered my eyes when I felt that I might have looked ridiculous.Â
“Come in, it feels great!” He yelled out.Â
“No way, what if there are snakes, piranhas or worse!” I screeched and looked at the water to see if I could spot any creature.Â

I can assure you that this water doesn’t have any of those things.” He rolled his eyes.Â
“How the fuck would you know if it isn’t infested with those creatures, mister know it all?” I asked.Â
“I have been coming here for a few months and haven’t seen anything.” He sounded like he was confident with what he was saying, but I was stillÂ
uncertain.Â
“You sure?” I asked skeptically, my eyes shifting from him to the water.Â
“Trust me.” He muttered. That’s the thing, I don’t.Â
“Wait, I don’t have a bathing suit!” I spoke up and passed my hand over my clothes like it would magically place a bathing suit instead of panties and bra.Â
“Don’t you have undergarments?” He asked.Â
“You want me to fucking swim in my panties and bra!” I screeched.Â
“God, Lily, you’re overthinking this. What’s the difference between your undergarments and a bikini?” He asked, frustration clearly in his voice. My eyes turned into slits at his tone.Â
“Touche.” I mumbled softly. He snorted like he had just won the argument.Â
“Well, aren’t you coming in?” He asked when I wasn’t making an effort to come in.Â
I sighed and nodded. “Turn around then!”Â
“It’s not like I haven’t seen panties and bra, Lily, I have seen many girls with less than that.” He snorted and rolled his eyes.Â
“Don’t remind me that I’m with a manwhore.” I grumbled suddenly feeling vexed at his words.Â
“Hey, they come willingly to my bed. I don’t force them.” He shrugged.Â
“I don’t care! Now, turn around.” I spat.Â
“Nope.” He defied.Â
“Fine.” I shrugged and bent down.Â
Picking up a small stick I saw that was a few inches near me, I walked closer to him. Asher looked at me quizzically before I threw it towards him, hitting him straight in the middle of his forehead. He opened his mouth, shocked, and let out a pained groan and rubbed the sore spot.Â
“That’s what you get, you perv.” I taunted, happy that I hurt him.Â
“You’re so violent.” He said, like the thought surprised him. It should because he didn’t know the real me, he never wanted to have the chance to.Â
“Thanks for the compliment.” I replied sarcastically.Â
“It wasn’t.” He grumbled, still pouting from what I had done to him earlier.Â
“I knew that, asshole, I was being sarcastic.” I retorted.Â
“I knew that!” He defended.Â
I snorted. “Yeah, right.”Â
He turned around cursing before telling me to hurry up. Have patience, you little shit. Lifting up my dress, a cold breeze hit my bare skin making my nipple harden. I took off my shoes and covered my private parts with my hands. Oh right he can’t see me, I thought while taking off my hands.Â
Even though I may be a nerd and my choice of clothes suck, I had always had a liking for Victoria’s Secret undergarments. So I was wearing one of myÂ

favorite pink lacy bras and panties. The material was very thin which caused me to shiver every time a cold breeze would pass by.Â

I walked towards the water and slowly put my toe in before feeling satisfied with how the water was so warm, and then fully got in. I let out a sigh at the feeling and dunked my head in. Coming back up, I saw Asher was already staring at me with a cocky smirk.Â
“Nice lacy undergarments, babe.” He whispered sultrily.Â
