0 Celsius: To thaw a frozen heart
Chapter 7: Ch 20.5°Celsius

He just dived into the pool and that also deliberately near me.

I need to talk to him

At least I need to try

"Andro....I mean.....Sir...........was serious when...I said ...i'll do anything for your forgiveness...please give ..me a chance"

There was silence for a minute as he kept staring at me

"Okay then jump into the pool"

He said straight without blinking an eye

He knows I can't swim

Then why is he asking me to jump into the pool..

Is he testing me?

"What happened Miss Brown? Afraid? Are we?"

I looked into his eyes to see he was dead serious

I took small steps towards the pool

This is my only chance to get forgiven

I have to do it.

With each step I took my heart beat accelerated.

When I was a few steps away from the pool I saw blue water and thought of how deep it went scared me

It is very very deep...If I jump I will die

I thought

"Come on..this is your only chance"

Andro said leaning on the wall of the pool with his elbows resting on the edge of the pool.

I looked at him and debated what to do....my legs were shaking and I don't know if another panic attack was coming

"I...........am.....af... afraid...of...water...I can't..."

For a second Andro had a look of concern on his face but next I felt a strong grip on my ankle and I was pulled towards the pool

It was so sudden that I didn't even got a second to hold on my breath and as my body landed on the surface of water large amount of water entered my mouth blocking my oxygen supply.

I moved my hands frantically trying to replace anything to hold onto

Hoping for anything but was met only with water.

I opened my eyes to see blue colour everywhere

My view was hazy but still through it I could see bright sunrays over me.

I tried reaching for them...moving my arms legs everything but all in vain.

All of a sudden I felt myself coming on the surface of it, I sucked little amount of oxygen I could but before I could breathe I was again pulled back into the depths of water.

Sunlight was going further and further away,

My body was sinking deeper and deeper

My lungs were exploding and the little amount of air that I had managed to hold till now was escaping as bubbles.

My attempt ceased from exhaustion

My eyes got heavy and as I was going to accept death a strong grip on my arm pulled me back.

I was being pulled up and that sunlight was coming closer and closer.

Next I know my face surfaced on water and I inhaled huge amounts of air

The water constricting my throat gushed out in forms of coughs.

And as I inhaled my first breath after nearly dying I opened my eyes to see bright light around me and between this bright light those gray eyes were staring at me.

I was still in water holding onto Andro for my dear life

My hands were around his neck and I was clinging to him tightly.

His eyes were staring at me trying to replace something

I soon realised that he was only in his boxers and I was nearly touching his entire body with mine.

I pushed myself away from him feeling ashamed and embarrassed.

But as my body pulled away from him I again started sinking and the fear of drowning again returned.

Without another thought I again clinged to him.

I felt his hands on my upper arm trying to push me back but I refused

"Atleast let me breathe!! you are strangling me!"

He said and I released my grip a bit

He looked into my eyes and saw the fear in them next I saw his gaze shift to my lips which were blue and were trembling continuously. "..An..dro.....please.....don't...let...go....it's very..deep"

I said

He placed his hands on my waist and pulled me by my waist towards him..I landed on his hardrock abs and he started moving towards the corner

I felt a bit relaxed with his hands protecting me.

After going a little further he stopped

"You lost your only chance ....I thought you really wanted my forgiveness but guess what I was again wrong...."

His breath could be felt on my earlobe as he whispered his next words

'....you only want to come back in my life for money.."

With this he pulled himself away from me making my heart jump in fear

I grabbed his biceps laden arm refusing to let go

"Pl...ease....Andro....don't leave.."

His strong hands unwrapped my arm from his and left my hand...

I shrieked with fear as I felt myself going down while he turned around and got out from the pool.

"Andro.......am...dr..owning!!!!!"

I shouted with all the strength I have hoping he will come back to save me

He is not coming back

O god I am going to die today

"You can't drown in a 5 feet pool when you are 5'7 inch ....idiota!"

He said turning around

Hhh?

I left all the struggle and let loose my body

Within seconds my feet touched the floor of the pool

Ohh I am safe

Silly me!000
