“No! No! Diego, stop, that is not fair!” you shrieked with laugher as you tried to shake him off where he had latched onto you. You and Nick were visiting Miami for Diego’s house warming party and at some point water guns had gun come out. Not a huge surprise considering it was Diego, but now he was using you as a human shield so that Nick couldn’t get him with a super soaker.
“Release my wife if you know what’s good for you,” Nick warned as he primed the soaker with a look of concentration on his face. Diego shifted his hold so that he was more or less hugging you from behind and you were unable to squirm out of his grip.
“Stop hugging me! I can’t believe you’re using me as a shield,” you admonished with laughter as you continued to try to plant your feet and wiggle out of his grip. You slid on the damp grass and Diego hoisted you up to carry you close to the pool.
“He won’t shoot you so you’re my only chance at safety,” Diego shouted into your ear and you shot an elbow back into his stomach in response. He oofed, but didn’t let you go. “Listen, Amaro! Set down the gun and no one has to get hurt!” he called to Nick around a laugh. You gave Nick a pleading look as he stepped closer.
“Sweetheart, you know I wouldn’t let anything happen to you, right?” Nick asked you, ignoring Diego. You nodded your head as he took another few steps forward and Diego dragged you closer to the pool. “And you remember that I was a lifeguard and that I’d never even let you come close to drowning, right?” Nick asked with an encouraging nod. Catching on to his plan you sent him a pleading look. “You know that, right?” Nick prompted when you didn’t respond and you reluctantly nodded. “Alright, so hold your breath because—” and before he finished his sentence he broke out in a run and tackled both you and Diego into the pool.
Before you even had a chance to panic he was gripping you with both hands and pushing you to the surface before wrapping a firm arm around your waist and pulling you into his hip. With the other arm he was managing to hold a spluttering Diego off as he shunted water in his face. Nick twisted so that he got the brunt of Diego’s return attack and you shrieked and laughed as you found yourself in the middle of a water fight. Nick’s grip on you never faltered and a wide grin stretched his face.
This put a smile in my face 🙂
