This choice: Because She Gains Some Weight And Jesse Likes It • Go Back...Chapter #5Swimming In Terabithia by: amber  (In this storyline, Leslie doesn't die)
One sunny day, Jesse decided to go to the museum while Leslie went to Terabithia. Sadly as she went across the river on a rope, the rope broke and Leslie made a nasty fall. Luckily, someone found her, although Leslie was wounded. After afew weeks, Leslie made a full recovery while Jesse visit her everyday. During Leslie's recovery, Jessie made a wooden bridge to prevent any more accidents.Leslie first had the idea of using another rope but Jesse disagreed. A rope could break again. This time Leslie was lucky but who knew what could happen if the rope would break again. Eventually, the two kids both headed back to Terabithia.
"Come on Leslie!" Jesse said.
"I'm coming!" Leslie yelled back.
She smiled at him. Only a sticking plaster above her right eye reminded them about her fall.
Jesse never told anyone but he felt responsible for Leslie's fall. He should have never let Leslie go on her own. He felt like he should have asked Leslie to go with him to the museum. He should have been with her.
Now they were planning too go swimming in Terabithia. Jesse advised her to put on her bathing suit at home just like he did. Sure they liked each other (and maybe even more than they both thought). But Jesse didn't know if he was ready to see Leslie naked. He also didn't know if he was ready to let Leslie see him naked. Both of them had a towel.
"Well we never went swimming before in Terabithia," Jesse said.
"Well before the accident, it wasn't exactly the best weather for swimming. Plus I have been in bed for a few weeks. That was the most boring time of my life. I'm happy we can go back to Terabithia," Leslie said.
"You do wear your bathing suit?" Jesse asked.
"Yes of course! My bikini. I wear a bikini," Leslie said.
"Close enough. It only matters if you can swim in it," Jessie said.
"That should be no problem.," Leslie said, smiling.
Leslie was glad to be back in Terabithia, smiling, until they reached a lake.
"Look! Do you see those sea snakes?" Leslie asked.
Jesse did see some lumps in the water, which was the long body of a sea snake. He smiled and looked at Leslie.
"Will he attack us?"
"I'm not sure. Sea snakes stay in deep water and normally don't attack people. So i don't think we have to worry," Leslie said.
She pulled off her clothes until she was just in her bikini. Jesse also pulled off his clothes. But suddenly, for a moment, her got distracted by Leslie's belly. It seemed a bit bigger then it had been before. Not too much though. And thanks too Leslie's wide shirt, he didn't even notice.
"Hey, did you gain weight?" He asked. He then hit himself, realizing what he had just asked.
What boy would ask a girl if she gained weight? Girls were obsessed about their weight. But on the other hand, Leslie wasn't like other girls.
"Yeah. I gained some weight since my parents forced me to stay in bed while i recovered from the fall," Leslie said, unoffended.
Leslie walked on some of the rocks and looked at the water. Leslie first felt the water with his toe and then ran into the water. Soon, Jessie hopped into the water and swam to Leslie.
"Well I could beat you in running! Maybe also in swimming!" Leslie said.
"Well that was some time ago, my Queen! I've become faster," uttered Jessie.
"Well, you've had time to practice while I needed to stay in bed. So you may be able to beat me," admitted Leslie.
If someone would have told Jesse that he would be defeated by a new kid who was a girl in the first race, later would become best friends and become king and queen of a magical world and would swim here, he wouldn't have believed that guy. But now he did. He almost forgot Leslie defeated him. Well if you got defeated, you could be defeated by your best friend, right?
They continued swimming and jumping in the water and sun bathed. But every time he saw Leslie and her belly, he felt something. He liked to see it. At one moment, she suddenly stood up.
"If it bothers you that much, I will lose it!" She said.
"W... what?" He asked confused.
Leslie stood up straight with her hands in her side.
"I'm not blind. Since we came here, you've been staring at my belly. If it bothers you that much that I gained some weight, I'll lose it," she said.
"Who said I was bothered by it? I was looking at it since I think I... like it."
"Wait... you've been looking at my belly because you liked that it was bigger?" She asked blushing.
"I think I do," Jesse answered and blushed too.
"So... should I gain some more weight?" She asked.
"Well only if you want to," Jesse said.   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
