"What were you thinking?"

"Nothing."

She took the last sip of coffee and put the coffee mug next to her. And then she closed her eyes.

Max turned his head and looked at her, " Don't lie to me."

"I'm not...."

"Shuu. I just said don't lie to me."

"Okay." She opened her eyes and even removed her head from his shoulders. She turned to him.

"Okay. I was thinking but I'm not going to tell you what I was thinking." Hearing this, Max immediately grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him.

"I'm finally asking what you were thinking?"

"Max, please." A whimper came out of her mouth due to his tight grip. Seeing her pleading eyes, He quickly loosened his grip but did not release her arm, " I'll tell you but please don't ask me right now because my mind is very confused right now. I have to sort out my own thoughts first." She said lowering her gaze.

"Ok, But don't be too late to tell me and don't forget that I am with you."

"I will not."

"Okay." He said and put his hand on her back, "Now is the time to have fun." And with that, he pushed Raina and the next moment Raina's body was in the warm pool.

She gasped loudly and soon her body began to sink. That pool was too big for her so her feet didn't touch the bottom. She started wiggling her arms and legs and the thought came to her mind that, 'I'm going to die this way." But before her body could go down any further or her entire system would shut down, Max's strong hand grabbed her waist and pulled her out of the water and into the air.

As she came out of the water, she opened her mouth and gulped a large amount of air through her mouth. After looking at the sky for a while, she bowed her head and looked at Max, who was still holding her.

"Are you planning to kill me?"

"I'm sorry princess." His voice was guilty. He didn't think Raina was going to drown so soon.

"You scared me so much."

" Forgive me again my little princess." He brought her body down a little and she quickly wrapped her legs around his torso and grabbed his wide and strong shoulders. She looked into his eyes and then her eyes went to her hand which was placed on his shoulder and her eyes widened. She noticed now that Max was not wearing his white shirt. She turned her head and looked back. There, Max's shirt was torn at the edge of the pool, which was proof that he didn't remove his shirt gently.

Thinking that she was clinging to his half-naked body, her cheeks changed to a shade of dark red. She turned towards him. Their smirk was dancing on his lips.

She gulps the saliva very hard. Her mind became blank. And before her brain's software would launch a new program, Max tightened his grip on her waist with one hand and grabbed the edge of her crop top with the other and removed it from her neck in a swift move, shutting down her entire system again.

She horrified. She started trembling like hell. She didn't expect this from Max.

She was already wearing denim shorts, And now her upper body was only covered with a bra which made her feel practically naked. Without thinking that if Max loses his grip on her, she will fall into the water again she started trying to get out of his arms. But for her bad luck, Max tightened his grip even more.

He understood her feeling very well and because of that, he knew what she was thinking but still he had no regrets about his action. Because he believed in himself that he could handle her in any situation. He immediately tightened his grip, removed one hand from her waist, and placed it on the back of her head, and immediately buried her face in his crook, "Relax. Just relax and feel how nice it feels. Feel this movement."

She didn't stop trying even when Max said that, but when her efforts were tightening instead of releasing Max's grip on her, she was forced to stabilize her body.

Shyness, Embarrassment, Angry. She could not describe what she was exactly feeling. She remembered their time in the hospital and she buried her face in his crook.

Holding her in his arms, he swiftly moved his body to a corner of the swimming pool and leaning back, he sat on a step and placed her on his lap. He started caressing her wet back. After a while, he grabbed the back of her head and pulled her head out of his crook. He bent down until his lips would brush the tip of her nose, "See how beautiful the sunset looks." Leaning down a little more, he whispered near her lips but she shook her head and refused.

And Max asked her again, "But why?" Instead of answering his question, she buried her face in his crook again and placed her hand on his bare chest. Max smiled because of her cute action.

"My princess is feeling shy."

Raina heard Max's remarks and her lips curled into a smile. Her lips were glued to his neck. In a moment a naughty thought came into her head and she decided to punish Max for his action.

She opened her mouth and started giving Max a sloppy kiss on his neck. She followed every step she read in a romantic novel. The only difference was that in the novel it was a meal lead and here it was a female lead.

Max groaned. He was feeling like heaven. But His heaven soon turned into hell when he felt a sharp pain and he screamed unknowingly. He immediately looked down. Raina looked at him and gave him a wide grin.

Max narrowed his eyes and said, "You little witch...."
