chapter 10
We walked until the water reached our chest. The water is cold and it makes me shivered. He is silent as he opened his waterproof DSLR Video camera.
“We will do the Freestyle first. Do you know how to swim?” he asked. I looked at him and nod, I know how to swim because I just learned it a week ago.
“so who will do the activity first?” he asked.
“you.” I said ,because I’m not still confident about my swimming capability. He nod and positioned himself. I aimed the video camera to him and click the button to start taking videos of him doing different swimming stroke. He did the Freestyle smoothly first. Then he continued with back stroke, butterfly stroke, Breast stroke, and side stroke. Wow. He did it easily.
“Now your turn.” He said .
I nodded and positioned myself. I don’t know why I feel like my knees are shaking. It is maybe because he is looking at me intently and I’m not used to it especially now that I am only wearing a sexy bra. I started doing the Freestyle stroke. I did it since it’s one of the first stroke I’ve been studying a week ago. Now he is talking to me in sign language that I have to do the next one. I did the breast stroke ,side stroke, and back stroke. I smiled with my achievement. But when it comes to butterfly stroke which is a swimming stroke swim in a chest with both arms moving symmetrically, accompanied by a butterfly kick. I find it hard to do so. I almost drunk sea water. I spit it as I could and tried again. I forget that Thunder is still taking videos of me.
“ I’m tired.” I said and looked at him.
He just shrugged and looked at me too.
“ it is indeed difficult ,because both your arms, head , shoulders , and part of the chest have to be lifted out of the water for these tasks, wanna try it again?” He. Asked.
Can’t he see it? I’m exhausted now. But instead of protesting. I tried to make my butterfly stroke better. And with three tries, finally he said that I got it right. He saved the video and we went out of the water.
“ are you hungry?” He asked.
I feel my stomach and yes it growled.
“ is there something nice to eat here?” I asked.
“ obviously. Do you like crabs? How about lobster or shells?” He asked.
“nah, I just want to have some ice cream.” I said .
He frown at me and shrugged after a moment. We went to a little shack, somewhere near the big coconut trees in the last row of cottages.
