Water sshed around as people-mostly men dived into the pool.


    “Oh my god, I can believe I let you talk me into this, Ne.” Maren said, dodging the ssh of water with a scowl in her face. She turned around as she didn’t get a response and met no oneing behind her.


    She sighed and walked a few steps, looking around where she had juste from. “Ne?” She didn’t walk too far as she saw Ne almost glued to a yellow-haired guy in trunks and dark shades.


    She seemed so annoyingly interested in what he was saying as she wasughing loudly and grinning so broadly, all while ring at him.


    Maren could only roll her eyes and mutter, “Whore”


    “Oh my god, I really didn’t even think of it that way,” Ne said out loud and broke into another feat ofughter which the guy reciprocated.


    “Do you mean-” they bumped into Maren, whose arms were folded but still managed to hold on to her drink. “Oh my, Maren. I’m sorry I didn’t see you there”


    “What the fuck Ne” she said dryly.


    “I…really…don’t get you,” Ne said, making a face that showed her confusion.


    The man suddenly extended his hand for a handshake. “Hi, you must be Maren Sharppe. I’m Martin Barnes”


    “Get that thing away from me,” Maren spat, making the guy retrieve his hand almost immediately.


    “O-kay, um I’ll be right over there when you’re done with all this,” he said and detangled from Ne.


    Ne folded her arms and her face got serious as soon as he left. “Why’re you such a sour pussy?”


    “I’m sorry, tasty pussy. But I didn’tpletely consent to being here but here I am and you’re fucking off with some hot ass stranger,” Maren snapped and turned towards the loungers which lined up a few feet beside therge pool.


    “Well, I’m d you understand why I’m with him, so why don’t you live a little?”


    They both got to the line of loungers, and Maren was the first to settle into one. Sheid on it and ced her drink on the nearby small table.


    She then covered her beautiful bikini-clothed body with her kaftan and brought down her sses to her eyes like it would stop her from hearing what Ne was saying.


    “It’ll be best if you pick your ass up and get fuckingid, Maren,” Ne said with a mischievous raised brow, “knowing that you work too much and we both know you’ve been starved for too long.


    “Trust me, I’m living off of the after result of having that thought once,” she replied with her eyes to the sky as the sun cast elegant rays on her skin.


    Ne shrugged, as she really wasn’t going to let Maren ruin this opportunity. “Alright, have it your way, but I’m going to go meet Keith if you’re not going to be this way throughout.”


    “This is a private overpriced pool, alright? And there are lots of famous dicks around which are not going to waste. Not on my watch” she turned to leave.


    “Why does he even bear Martin? He’s fucking white”


    “His parents were both ck,” Ne said as she began walking away. “And that is very fucking racist, Maren!”


    “If you need me, you know where to find me!”


    Maren almost giggled as Ne’s voice faded. If she was being honest, it really was nice. I mean, the atmosphere was just right to be outside.


    And yeah, Ne was right. She really had been working harder these days and feeling the wind on her skin was really soothing and-


    “Oh, my god!” Maren shot up from where shey. She was dripping wet from her shoulders down, as her face had barely escaped the spray.


    “So sorry” the guys anddies who had been ying in the pool echoed, but not for long as they resumed their games.


    Maren was fuming alright but there really was nothing she could do. She shut her eyes and took a deep breath, summoning all the self control she had left in her body.


    When she was satisfied, she opened her eyes again and looked around at the pieces of shit who had gone back to what they were doing.


    She turned to the lounger and thought there was no way she was going to lie back there.


    Angrily, she turned towards where she hade. Looking for a washroom, a lounge, or possibly an exit. She kept walking till she got to the end, then turned a corner.


    Not like she didn’t have a pool back at home, she thought. She really didn’t know why she’d agreed toe with Ne.


    She wrinkled her nose at the couple who were sprawled on the ground, intensely making out with no decency at all. She turned away, trying to push the picture out of her mind, but she knew it’ll take a lot more effort than that.


    She kept walking till she got to a door which read authorised personnel only.


    Maren looked around the door and didn’t see any hazard sign, no sign that it was some door which led to some power house or weapon room.


    Basically, nothing that stopped her from wanting to know what was behind the door. So she did. She turned the handle slowly and pushed it in.


    The unlocked door gave in easily, without a sound, and Maren took her time before poking her head through.


    She sighed with both relief and excitement before closing entering and closing the door to the loud music and gross people behind her. She stood a few feet away from the door and looked around with a smile on her face.


    In front of her was a pool about five feet deep. Not asrge as the one outside, butrge enough for a party of few friends.


    The water was still and blue thanks to the lighting on the base of it. She looked around but saw no one but a bottle of wine and a ss sitting on a little table on one side of the room and a couple of loungers on each side of the table.


    ‘This looks more like some private pool’ she thought. ‘Stingy mother fuckers! Leaving that crowded dirt pool to everyone’s use’


    She smiled to herself and walked towards the one lounger where she took off her kaftan and ced it on it before diving deep into the water.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    The water was warm and just right enough to make her stress ease off a little. She stayed under for seconds with her eyes closed. Letting her body feel the water and run through her hair.


    Then, ssh! Maren’s eyes shot open as she had felt the water being disturbed by a heavy presence. She quickly swam up and to the corner of the pool where she could rest her back and wait to see who her aplice was.


    She stayed at the corner after getting the water out of her eyes while she waited for the person who was now swimming towards her to reveal themselves.


    As the person got closer and closer, Maren’s temptation grew to dive back into the water and pull them up.


    But just before she could do that, a head popped up, which made her eyes widen and shivers run down her spine.
