World's Richest Man: I Leaped Across Time

Chapter 93 - 93: Fire

"Help her!" Charlottle shouted.

I paddled frantically to where Mia had gone under.

"Mia!" I shouted, scanning the churning water.

Lucas was already there, diving beneath the surface.

Suddenly, Mia's head broke the surface about twenty feet away from me. She gasped for air, her arms flailing, as another wave threatened to push her under again.

"I've got her!" Lucas shouted, reaching Mia just as she started to go under once more. He grabbed her arm, pulling her towards him and onto his board.

Mia was coughing and sputtering, but she was okay.

"Help me get her to shore!" Lucas called out.

Charlotte and I flanked them as we all paddled back to the beach.

"What happenned?! Is Mia okay?!" Sam's voice carried from the shore, panicked.

We reached the beach, and Alex rushed over. He dropped his board and waded into the shallow water to help.

"Grab her other arm!" Lucas instructed. Together, we lifted Mia off Lucas's board.

She was groggy but still grinning, clearly shaken but trying to play it cool. "I think... Caugh!" she rasped. "I got a bit too ambitious... Caugh! Caugh!"

She kept coughing, her face red and eyes teary.

Sam rushed to her side, his hands

Alex has been waiting for that since ever.

"Who wants some marshmallows for the fire?" Mia asked, taking out a bag of marshmellows.

"Yum! Marshmallows!" Charlotte said excitedly, grabbing the bag. "Jack, can you find me a stick to roast a marshmallow? I'll roast one for you too."

"I got you," I said as I cleaned one stick and handed it over to her.

She took her task with relish.

"Aa!" Mia moaned when her marshmallow caught fire from being too close to the flame.

As Charlotte handed me the marshmallow, I grinned and accepted, savoring the sweet treat.

Maybe savoring it a bit too slowly, as a second later she had another one for me.

After about an hour of roasting marshmallows and enjoying the fire, we moved on to munching on sausages from the grill.

The night came quickly and the sky was a deep, dark blue, dotted with stars.

Charlotte's long copper hair was catching the fire's glow as she sat on my lap with a sweet smile, enjoying her beer.

From this distance, I noticed her breasts were bigger than usual. 'Is she wearing a push-up bra?' I thought.

Alex, who was a bit tipsy, leaned back with a satisfied grin.

He took a long sip of his beer. "Man, this is totally chill. I could die here...."

"This is really nice and all..." Lucas said, pausing for effect. "But do you guys know what's even better than this?"

We all turned to him. "What?" Charlotte asked.

"Boat racing," Lucas said with a grin.
