Clementine

* * *

The sharks swimming and lurking in the depths below are not near as dangerous as the man standing before me. If anything will bite, it’s him.

Trust.

How can you trust someone if you’ve never done anything trustworthy for you to trust them with? I haven’t been completely honest. And the most recent lie I’ve told is I don’t have feelings for Gabriel. With every smile, every wink, I fall harder and harder. And I don’t know what to do about it.

Do I run? Do I trust him?

What if he takes my heart and feeds it to the sharks?

I can’t lie to myself that sex with Gabriel wasn’t one of the most life-changing things in all my years here on this earth. My emotions are like a kaleidoscope of varying feelings filtering in through the sunlight. I know one thing for certain—I want to keep having sex with him again and again.

I mean, this vacation has been great at getting me to stop thinking about Bishop Blackstone and all his threats. Being alone with Gabriel, having him touch me, makes all the fear and anger I feel toward Bishop disappear in an instant.

And so, I leap with both feet. “I trust you,” I tell Gabriel, lowering the snorkel mask over my eyes.

I’m ready to swim with the sharks. I follow Gabriel out deeper into the ocean. And then we both keep to the surface, floating as we watch all the marine life beneath us.

It’s like something right out of Finding Nemo. If Tennyson were older, I would love to bring him.

Bright colored fish swim next to even brighter coral and rocks deep underneath.

A stingray shoots below me, and yeah, I’m not so sure about that. I pop my head out of the water, removing the mask.

“Fun, right?” Gabriel says from behind me.

“I saw a stingray and got a little scared.”

He grins, and licks the water from his lips. “I told you I’d always protect you. Nothing’s going to hurt you out here.”

I believe him and I smile. “Ok.”

“Here, follow me and we can see some sharks.”

Again, that little voice in the back of my head speaks up, but I tamper it down, trusting Gabriel completely. I reposition my mask and follow behind him.

We don’t venture too far out, but there’s a drop off, where the ocean floor gives way to a darker depth below. And there they are—sharks—swimming further away from us, in the blue water.

Adrenaline rushes through my veins. I feel very safe from the distance away we are, but Gabriel smiles at me and swims closer to the danger.

I don’t know what kind of sharks these are, but it doesn’t matter to me. A shark’s a shark in my eyes.

Gabriel flaps his fins to bring him closer to the predators. This man is crazy. He looks like Aquaman, and it’s almost inspiring, making me wonder if I should follow him into the deep blue.

I don’t.

Instead, I’m frozen here underwater, floating on the surface watching him. I can’t take my eyes off the beauty unfolding before me.
