55: No Problem

The whole time I was aware that I was falling, my eyes were close and there was still that fear that I might hit something down there. Though, the fear slowly faded when I felt how warm and hard the arms wrapped around my body were.

Carter's not gonna do something that would hurt me. I hold onto that belief.

And when I finally felt the cold water against my skin, I didn't hit onto anything. It was just the cold water, me holding my breath, and the ironclad body against me. I was about to move to swim up, but I froze when in the midst of coldness, I felt warm, soft lips that touched mine, easing the coldness and my fears away.

I almost forgot that I couldn't breathe underwater, but with Carter giving me enough air as he kissed me, I had completely forgotten where we are and how cold the water was.

I was to carried away that I didn't notice Carter was already swimming our way upward with his ironclad arm around me.
