[never let] go

[Sky]

Seth started to swim towards the middle of the pool but the fact that he was only human made him need to rise for air. He pushed himself to the surface and gasped for oxygen, then proceeded back to the middle, only he wasn't underwater this time. His eyes were already stinging with chlorine.

Alice let herseld float to the surface.

"Don`t hurt yourself, love." She said softly, swimming towards him. "Like I said, I may not need to breathe, but you do." She put her hand over his and squeezed it gently.

[Sky]

"I won't." He whispered and pulled her close, still holding her hand. He pressed his lips against hers out of nowhere, hearing nothing but the sound of the pool waves hitting their bodies.

[potter_fan122]

Alice smiled and pressed her free hand to his chest. He was a mass of warmth against her. It just felt right to be there with him. It felt like nothing could go wrong as long as she was close to him.

She pulled away a fraction of an inch. "I love you," She wispered, "Forever and always." She kissed him again, squeezing his hot hand.

[Sky]

Seth kissed her back, parting his lips just a little. He loved her more than anything and would love her until he died. He was so glad to be back here with her again. He learned how much he wanted to be with her when they had parted ways for a little while. Every day they were apart broke his heart just a little more. But it was mending with every moment they spent together.

Alice smiled again and pulled away again.

"Seth, I really don`t think this is the best place to do this. There are two six year old boys running down the hall right now with thier mom close behind." She moved a little away, even though thatwas the last thing she wanted to do. "I told you that this was a hotel, and it is. I got a room on the top floor in case it got late." She spoke quickly and quietly, and her eyes never left Seth`s.

[Sky]

"Oh, yeah. Right." He rubbed his neck awkwardly and swam back a little, his face a little red. "Are you done swimming?" He asked, not taking his eyes off of her.

[potter_fan122]

Alice shrugged.

"When you`ve got all of eternity, you`re not really ever done with anything. But for tonight and the sake of the two children twenty feet from the door, yes." She swam to the edge and pulled herself out of the water, grabbing a fluffy cream-colored towel just as the door open.

"Ooo, Mommy, look! Oh, torry." A young boy said, looking up at Alice with huge brown eyes.

Alice smiled at the boy, who was joined by his brother. The two looked like twins. "It`s okay. You get the whole pool to yourself." She said in a voice obviously just for children.

The boy grinned and looked at his brother. The mother came up behind them and put a hand on each of their heads. She smiled and looked between Alice and Seth with a strong motherly gaze.

[Sky]

Seth smiled at the kids. They really did look identical. He swam over to the edge of the pool and climbed out. He had to pull at his shorts so they didn't stick so high on his legs and he shook his hair a little with his finger's so it wasn't so flat.

[potter_fan122]

Alice looked at Seth and smiled, then looked back at the boys.

"Have fun, you guys." She said, walking towards Seth and handed him a clean towel, wrapping her own around herself. The two children watched her, slowly walking towards the stairs on one side. She smiled at the again and headed towards the door. She could feel the mother`s heavy eyes on her as she left.

"I hate it when humans do that." She sighed as soon as the heavy door swung shut.

[Sky]

Seth thanked her as he dryed off his upper body and wrapped the towel around his waist.

"What?" He said, glancing at the trio they left behind. "Stare? That's got to be annoying having them watch you all the time."

[potter_fan122]

Alice shrugged.

"I don`t mind the kids, really. They`re sweet and don`t know what their doing. It the moms that freak me out. They stare at me like they know what I am, like I can`t be trusted." She stared at the floor as she walked, suddenly having an odd feeling in her stomach.

[Sky]

Seth put his arm around Alice's waist.

"Mom's have a weird instinct. She was just protective. She didn't know that you are a vampire." He kissed her cheek and then realized that they were near the restrooms. "I'll go change real quick." He said, slowly releasing her and going to the bathroom to change.

[potter_fan122]

Alice came out right after Seth, her wet hair pulled up into a ponytail. Her eyes were wide and perfectly blue. Instead of changing back into her nice clothes she had put on a pair of black shorts and a black tank. She had put more casual clothes in Seth`s bag, too.

[Sky]

Seth came out in a white t-shirt and black shorts. It felt so nice to be in some casual clothes. He felt loosened up.

"So miss, where is this hotel room you speak of?"
