"Mn-hmn..." He agreed quickly. Oliver's body seemed to give a little wobble from the excitement and the man doubled over himself, looking up at the woman bashfully through dark lashes.
"Why more than 'you should'?" Hadn't she liked him? Wasn't being liked more a good thing?

"I just.." she trailed off. To be honest, she didn't know why she was stopping herself from falling for Oliver. He'd alreadyade it clear that no other woman would know him like she did, therefore he wasn't going anywhere. So instead of making some lame excuse she simply said with a smile "I guess I don't. In fact, I think I like you just the right amount."

Oliver smiled, lifting himself back in the upright position only to give another pleasant wobble again. The dark man seemed to be trying to physically express how he felt. His body felt...strange. An awkward, childlike grin grew over his face as he tossed his head to the side, a curtain of black hair concealing the majority of his face.
And suddenly, he laughed. The young man had let out a loud, bubbling peal as the grin grew wider. Needless to say, Abigail's response had made Oliver feel pretty good.
"Me too!" The ravenette agreed.

Abigail giggled and picked the book back up, opening it with one hand and gently holding Oliver's with the other. The blonde was red faced and smiling as they continues to read.

The ravenette curled his fingers over hers, his ability to speak written words improving immensely simply because having Abigail was helping his concentration. However, his heart kept giving strange beats. This caused the English language to stumble over his tongue.
"...J-J-jell-yfsh...swim to get...around," the man said softly, face reddening for some reason that was quite away from the topic he was reading. "T-his means oh-pen-ng and clos-ng its bell—much as you oh-pen and close an um-bre-lla..." He let his head drop. He had no clue what half of these words had meant.

"Are you ok?" she asked, concern painting itself across her face. She rubbed small circles on the top of his hand to comfort him, frowning deeply.

"...I am okay," Oliver said with a huff. He straightened himself up and looked back to the book with a serious expression. "Getting better! I know this." Rubbing his temples, he stared at the jelly swimming across the page. The ravenette was getting quite the headache. He had been drawn to the creatures in the book for some strange reason. He knew that somehow he'd make a connection somewhere.
"My head." The man grumbled after looking sternly at the book for five minutes. "It hurts."

"Let's take a break?" she suggested. "We can go swimming." She figured he would know somewhere safe they could swim and she was rather hot. The sticky air was making her hair frizzy and her skin slick with sweat.
She looked at him expectantly, waiting for an answer.

He nodded slowly, accepting her invitation to swim. Oliver stood up and pointed in the opposite direction from where he normally entered her camp.
There was a waterhole not too far from there where the gorillas waded. He went there often, but stayed away from the large creatures who were brave enough to go into the deep end.
"Follow?" He asked, holding his hand out to her.

She interlaced her fingers with his and allowed him to lead her where ever he pleased. She looked happy. Her blue eyes shined brightly and she was smiling. Her hand was dainty and smooth.

He led her to wide waterhole encased with wide leafy greenery. The water stretched out, seeming to create a small clear lake. Few animals took care to leave the two of them alone--but aside from those creatures they were secluded from most wildlife. It was the hot time of the day.
Oliver released her hand to start wading in the water.

Abigail took her time getting in the water, taking a moment to remove her tank top and shorts. She was now wearing a simple black bathing suit. She tied her hair in a messy bun as she waded in, then once she was done she done underneath of the water, opening her eyes to observe her surroundings. She dove as deep as the watering hole would allow before surfacing with a sputtering cough and laugh.
"This place is so pretty!" she giggled swimming over to him. She resisted the urge to wrap her arms around his neck and instead gave him a sheepish smile.

Oliver grinned, letting her change. Seemed like he'd done well. He had liked the place as a swimming hole--though he had never gotten as brave as Abigail had. The blonde swam out to as deep as she could have and went under. As she did, Oliver got in to about his waist, took a deep breath while tightly pinching his eyes shut and dunked his head down. The water enclosed over his head, the sound of everything just disappearing for a moment.
His hands touched the smooth, muddy bottom beneath his bended knees. Oliver quickly stood back up again, the water causing his dark hair to become slick. He pushed it back from his face and watched Abigail bob to the surface.
She gave him a sheepish smile and he returned it with an only slightly un-genuine grin. "You are happy?" He asked.

"I am..but you aren't," she observed with a sigh.
"What's wrong?" she asked, finding his hand under the water and playing with his fingers. She wanted to alleviate his discomfort, though she wasn't sure how. The girl didn't want to rush into anything by hanging all over him, but she felt a twinge in her chest over his unhappiness. She smoothed the stray pieces of soaked blonde hair back into her bun and looked at him, searching for a way to help.

"I am fine," Oliver insisted with a small smile. It was true. He hadn't minded swimming. Swimming was actually a good way for him to stay cool. What had bothered him was that Abigail wasn't afraid at all. It made sense for her to not be frightened of the deep water. The ravenette was just feeling unhappy over the fact he couldn't follow her as closely as he liked.
"I just," The dark man huffed, looking up at the sky in embarrassment at his horrible confession. "I can't go in deep water..."

Abigail brought his face back to look at her, and got on her tip toes. Even with the added height the girl had to pull him
down further. When she finally brought him down to her height she planted a firm, reassuring kiss on his lips.
"Don't be embarrassed. It's not a big deal," she said. The girl pulled away from him and stayed close, not venturing into the deep anymore.

Oliver let out a frustrated huff of air. Nevertheless, he leaned down to return the kiss anyhow. Abigail had a way of making him feel nice when it came to any sort of flaw he seemed to have.
"Abigail can still swim," he offered lightly. "I can swim. Not deep, but... I can swim."

She giggled and fell backwards into the water, letting herself sink to the shallow bottom. She forved her body to stay down for a few moments before resurfacing. She took the hair tie out of her hair and let her sopping wet, blonde curls to fall down her back and into the water. When she stood straight up the water came just below her chest, but in her crouched position the refreshing liquid licked at her chin.
Like a child, Abigail flicked some water at Oliver, being careful not to hit him in the face.

The dark man splashed back in retaliation. A small wave of water rushed at his new playmate caused by his swinging arms.
With a laugh, he flopped back to dodge whatever attack might ever come his way. The dark eyes above the surface smiled as he brought his face up slightly. "I have not done this..." Oliver let out a little sigh. "In long time."

"Why not?" she asked, tip toeing over to him and then sinking back down. Her hands found his sides and she tickled him before backing away as to prevent his retaliation. The smile that occupied her face seemed to brighten everything around her, and her laugh came out in short little bursts. She was trying not to seem too overjoyed by her triumph.

A burst of loud laughter bubbled out of the jungle man as he gave a small leap away from the blonde, his mouth curling into a smirk. He splashed at her again, this time with a bit more energy that the last. Finally, he stopped and tilted his head to the side to look at her.
"No reason to," Oliver said surprisingly pleasant. "Nobody here."

Oliver quickly shook his head, wide-eyed. "No, no!"
Innocently, the dark man dipped himself low enough in the water so the following phrase came out in bubbles of air. "I want to always be near Abigail."
