Right before we got out of the now-empty pool Rafael swam up and pulled me by the arm.Right before we got out of the now-empty pool Rafael swam up and pulled me by the arm. I followed the smiling boy down into the dark end of the pool and away from the spotlights. "How does it feel down there?" I asked. Rafael smiled, "It's not hurting nearly as much now. It's a lot better, I think the water kind of helps." I nodded as the boy smiled. He stepped closer. His chest pressed into my belly and his slender arms locked around my waist. My own arms locked around Rafael's body and I hugged him. His hair was wet and slicked back against his head and I mussed it up with my nose as I nuzzled him. It was so dark that no one could see us. Besides we were in the far side of the pool and well hidden from view anyway. |
