The Selection (1x1 with AnnaCat17)

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Abril went out into the water after she had changed, relishing its cool chill. She floated in the water, trying to relax and push away everything she was worrying about.

Atlas blushed faintly as he noticed her eyes straying to his lips. He let her leave and watched her make her way into the water before heading inside and changing. He entered the water once he had changed, not excepting it to be as cold as it was. He smiled, watching a little fish circle his toes.

Victory swam around, allowing the chill of the water to relax her. She looked over at Abril and smiled happily. "When we go home we really need to have you pick out your wedding dress. Im dying to see you try some on."

Romeo walked with Elliott down to the water, holding her hand happily as they walked. "You look beautiful." He said, kissing the back of her hand.

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Abril smiled faintly, relieved that she seemed to be genuinely happy right now about it. "I'll definitely need your help with that."

Elliott gazed up adoringly at him, a faint blush tinting her cheeks pink. She tugged him into the water excitedly, gasping at the chill as she waded deeper. She held on to his hand, lacing their fingers together happily.

"We should have Elliott and Solace join us. I think they would enjoy it too." She suggested. She glanced over to where Atlas was, blushing as she looked at his bare chest so she forced herself to look bacl at Abril. "So where did Matteo come from?"

Romeo chuckled at her gasp. Without warning he picked her up and tossed her into the water before swimming out to where she resurfaced. "Hate me yet?"

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Abril nodded. "Good idea." She smirked as she noticed Victory blushing as she looked over at Atlas. She shook her head, glancing over at Pavel and Matteo. "He was hiding in the trunk."

Elliott shrieked in surprise and laughter, splashing through the water as she resurfaced. "Yes!" She splashed water at him in retaliation, a happy grin on her face as she tried to swim away before he caught her.

[AnnaCat17]

"Oh my gosh! Is he ok?" She asked as she looked at Abril stunned. "How did he even get in there? He said goodbye to Pavel after we had already loaded everything up."

Romeo laughed happily and swam after her, pulling her close and pretend biting her shoulder.

Once they had gotten changed Pavel led Matteo down to the water. Unlike the other guys, Pavel kept his shirt on as he and Matteo went to the water. Matteo laughed happily and went splashing into the water but Pavel didn't go deeper than his ankles, content to happily watch the others.

"He seems to be frightened, but otherwise okay." Abril watched Pavel lead Mattoe towards the water. "I have no idea how he got in the trunk. He's sneaky, that's for sure. Did I tell you about the time him and his friends dumped blue paint all over Pavel and I the night of his coronation?"

Elliott laughed, trying to fight him away. She shrieked in laughter, wrapping her arms around him and smothering his face with kisses.

Solace was instead preparing the beach house for them, as well as making them something to eat for after they swam. She hummed to herself as she work, moving around the house.

[AnnaCat17]

Victory laughed at the thought. "So that's what happened to the crown. No wonder the people trying ro clean it were so ticked off." She looked over to where Matteo was playing in the shallows with Pavel watching on. "Im really worried about you Abril. I dont like how much he hurts you."

Romeo grinned happily and kissed her back in retaliation, refusing to let her go.

Sutton followed her around silently, looking around at everything as he trailed after her abd listened to all of the laughter.

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Abril smirked in amusement. She glanced back over at Pavel, feeling warmth from fondness as she watched Pavel watching over Matteo as he played. She frowned slightly as she replied. "He's not going to hurt me anymore. And even if he does, I'll get over it. He doesn't mean to hurt me. He loves me."

Elliott tangled her fingers into his hair, grinning as she kissed him, feeling happy and relaxed in the water with him.

Solace glanced back at him as he followed. "You could join them," she suggested, though she rather liked the company.

[AnnaCat17]

Victory sighed. "I really want you to be right but im still worried. Look at what he did to Romeo. Honestly youre lucky he didnt do the same to you." Victory looked at Pavel. "I want you to he happy but i dont trust him to take care of you any more."

Sutton shrugged. "I dont like the sun. I burn too easily." He looked over from where he was looking at a painting to her. "Do you want me to leave you alone?"
