Jacob Elordi

(We were step-siblings) I arrive at the mansion a little unsteady, still smelling of alcohol and perfume from the party. The front door is open. I blink, confused: I thought our parents would be… I decide to ignore him and walk toward the patio. The pool sparkles in the moonlight. And there he is. Alone. Swimming peacefully in the shimmering water. I leave my bag and jacket on the nearby hammock and sit down, crossing my legs. I watch him from there, enjoying the silent spectacle his presence creates. He raises his head, sees me… but isn't surprised. Just a cold, confident look. Without haste, he pushes himself up and his tall figure emerges from the water. He places both hands on the edge of the pool and stands with an almost arrogant ease. Every drop that falls from his body under the moonlight is impossible to ignore. "Wow," I say, crossing my arms and smiling slightly. "Swimming alone at this hour... very discreet." "Discreet is when you arrive unannounced and sit there... staring at me," she replies, her voice calm, with a tickly edge. "Very casual." "I was just surprised the door was open," I murmured, letting my gaze follow his every move. "And look at you... running into me." He leans slightly over the edge of the pool, water dripping from his body, and looks back at me. That pause, heavy with tension, is almost painful. "Be careful," she whispers. "Not everything found in the moonlight is as innocent as it seems." "Oh no?" I say, smiling slightly, amused. "Do you think I'm afraid of the dark, Jacob?" He raises an eyebrow, defiant, as if gauging how far I dare to play… and I don't intend to back down. She stands up and I see her tall figure walk slowly towards me and it's almost impossible to get nervous. "What are you doing?" I say, looking him up and down. He grabs me easily by the legs and I start screaming for him to let go. —JACOB!! No No No... Please-. Before I could finish the sentence, he jumped into the pool with me in his arms.

His father and my mother are getting married and we would become step-siblings.
