The sea was crashing all around them and Melody hung onto the grouper, breathing as the water cascaded over them.
And then she realised it was really cold water, and not the warmth she'd been feeling before, and that her tongue was somehow tangling with something... someone... else's ... tongue!
Her eyes flew open and she stepped back, eyes widening for a moment as she looked at the grouper who was now no longer looking so fishy and she thought for a long moment as to where the fish concept had come from but quickly dropped that thought and instead recognised Brian.
And the water dripping down his face was what she could feel running down her cheeks. "What the hell?" she exclaimed, looking at Brian, then down at herself, then at Maddy, standing beside them with the glass in her hand, giving her up as the perpetrator of the dousing.
Why did she douse them?
"Maddy, what was... " And as she spoke she could feel the tingle in her lips and her fingers, and other parts and she looked at Brian, and for the first time in her entire life she didn't feel the embarrassing colour rising in her neck, to turn her face beetroot red.
Instead she blinked, and gave Brian a grin. "Sorry about that," she told him, "seems something I drank agreed with me a little more than I expected!" Even as she was saying it she felt a thrill run through her, adrenalin that had been released by the potion, and probably the kiss and dousing, but most of all she could remember all the good things, and she gave Maddy wink.
