Kingdom Hearts' All-girls School...or not

"That would be what I'm talking about...." Mark said jumping off the chair and diving in after her, he grabbed her and pulled her up to the surface holding her close to him, they broke through the surface of the water, "are you ok Abexecca...?" he said brushing the hair out of her eyes.

 

Abexecca coughed a little. "I'm ok," she said and smiled. "I'm getting used to that. "

Brexecca breathed out in relief. "Good," she said as she swam over to them.

 

"Your doing great....take your time....I'll still like you even if you can't swim...you will still be my friend.." Mark joked giving her a gentle squeeze, "would you like me here with you...or would you like me to watch?" he smiled.

 

"Acctually I... I want you to teach me..." she said, blushing.

Brexecca looked at Abexecca and then at Mark.

 

"Ok....sure...." Mark smiled gently letting her down where her feet could touch, "I'm not exactly the best teacher...so bear with me...." he grinned.

 

"Alright..." she said as she grinned. She felt calmer with him than she did with Brexecca. "What do I do first?"

Brexecca and Anna watched from the side of the pool.

 

"Well you can float on your back....now lets see if you can float on your stomach..." Mark smiled, "first you can lay on my hands in the water to get a feel, then I take take them away slowly if you think you have it....would you like to try it?" he asked.

 

"But... If I did that ...then wouldn't my face be in the water?" she said as she began to worry. "I-I...c-can't..." she said.

 

"I can hold you above the water if you want where you face won't be in it..." Mark smiled hugging her, "but I think you can do this Abexecca....I know you can...." he said giving her a gentle squeeze, "would you like to try?"

 

"O-Ok..." Abexecca said as she tried to float on her stomach... but when her face went in the water she screamed and started freaking out. She came back up and coughed.

OOC- gtg take a quick shower brb. please don't leave. X3

 

Mark held her close to him, "its ok...." he said gently massaging her back, "its ok....I'm here...I'm not going to let you get hurt...." he smiled, "would you like me to put my hands under your stomach and hold you up a little?"

 

Abexecca took a deep breath. "It's fine," she said. "I need to learn to do this right..." She tried laying down again.

 

"Good....your doing great...." Mark smiled, "your catching on really fast.....excellent...."

 

Abexecca was laying on her stomach with her face out of the water. She slowly emerged her face under water as she just laid there with Mark holding her up.

 

"Good....now while your on your stomach I want you to take your arms...and lets see here....like a dog digs....I want you to extend and act like you are digging a large hole in the water..." Mark said, "I know its a weird analogy.....do you understand though?"

 

Abexecca stuck her face out to the side to breath and nodded. Then she began to do as he said.

 

"Good...." Mark smiled, "now lets try it on your side....your going to do the exact same thing....but instead which ever side you laying on his the arm you will use to stroke....lets start with you left side...." he said gently rolling her on her side in his arms, "there we go....ok try that...."

 

Abexecca tried it... but she started to sink... she quickly grabbed onto Mark and closed her eyes tightly.

 

"I'm here Abexecca...." Mark said holding her, "your ok....I'll always try to protect you and keep you safe...." he smiled touching her cheek, "I care about you.....what say we try again? or do you want to rest a short while?"

 

Abexecca opened her eyes and looked up at him. "I want to take a break..." she said in a small voice.
