Chapter 173
“Holy shit...” | gasped as | bobbed up to the surface. “It’s freezing” Lewis let out a deep chuckle as he swam over
to me. My feet treading the deep water and my lips chattering slightly.
“I could have told you that, but your reaction was too funny. That smug grin of his caused mischief to cloud my
eyes and | quickly jumped on his head and shoved it under the water. Once he cback up he pushed his
hands towards me, splashing my entire head. “I suppose you thought that was funny?”
“Yeah a little bit.” | smiled and splashed him again. It was really nice to have schildish fun, it had been far
too long since | was able to just let myself laugh, | found it really easy with Lewis though. He had a way of
bringing smiles
out of me.
After about half an hour | found myself getting really out of breath, not exercising and not being fed properly will
do that to you | suppose. So my hands found Lewis’s shoulder and | laughed again while using him as a float.
“Are You ok?” Lewis met my eyes and | saw slight concern rest on his features, god he was hot. | nodded my

on my mind.
“I'm ok...” he shook his head again and sighed chuckling hollowly, | think my automatic response was really
starting to annoy him.
“Do you know how frustrating it is when you say you're ok when you clearly aren't. Just once | want you to say
exactly how you feel, you don’t need to be tough all the time.” | smiled while still panting for breath, and my
teeth chattered from the cold water as | smiled at the way he genuinely cared about me. “We should get out and
warmed up, you must be freezing by now.” | shook my head and swallowed looking into his eyes with nothing but
curiosity swimming in
mine.
“Can | ask you a random question?” He cocked his head slightly to the side in confusion but nodded his head
yes, all the same. “Do you believe in ghosts?”
“Ghosts?” | knew | would confuse him. But | had to ask, | had too much going on to be worried about wether |
was. actually being haunted or not.
“Yeah, you know, ghosts. They Haunt people, shout boo, speak in a whisper... | mean sof them, well, some
of them might even glow.” It didn’t take long for him to start laughing atwhile | inadvertently began to
playfully sulk.
“Don’t laugh at me.”
“I'm sorry... I'm sorry. It’s just | never would have thought you'd be talking about ghosts.” He remained chuckling
so | dunked his head under the water again just to shut him up.
“So | take it ghosts aren’t real then?” My face was flat and slightly disheartened by the the bobbed back up.
If ghosts weren't real then | was undoubtedly seeing and hearing things that weren't there. | think he finally
realized that | wasn’t joking when | asked and so his face went pretty serious rather quickly.
“No, there's no record of any kind relating to ghosts, just stories made up by people.” | nodded my head and let

and awkwardly jumped out. My skinny arms barely being able to withstand the rest of my weight as | pulled
myself onto solid ground.
