"I think the time has come to show you the 'surprise'" – smiled Olive.

"Really? Perfect, I was looking forward to seeing it" – I said.

The truth is that the atmosphere was so good that I completely forgot about the surprise. Today the weather was quite warm (like every day here). The sun was perfect for going to the beach. However, the most pleasant thing of all was not the heat or the weather or even the breeze, but the company. Being with Olive made all my worries disappear completely and I only focused on her and her words. She was simply perfect, a woman so beautiful that many men would want to conquer her at any cost. Seriously, I don't understand what my grandfather thought when he let her go. But I guess I have to thank him or else I wouldn't stand a chance with her.

"Follow me" – said Olive.

Without paying attention to my surroundings or to the curious looks of the people who were doing their daily chores, Olive and I went to that place that Olive wanted to show me.

In a short time we arrived at the beach.

"Is it here?" – I asked.

The truth is that, if my memories were not sealed, I would have remembered perfectly what that surprise was because I had the feeling that I already knew what it was. But my memories were so well sealed that I could not remember anything. It was as if everything was new to me, which in a sense I am grateful for. While it is true that it feels good to know what is going to happen, on many occasions, it is not interesting. Sometimes it is better not to know what is going to happen, such as in this one.

"No, it's a little further away. But this is the starting point" - said Olive.

Then, she began to take off her clothes until she was in her underwear.

"Come on. What are you waiting for?" – Olive said.

I was quite cheeky and stared at her open-mouthed, admiring her splendid beauty. Yes, I know I saw her just yesterday, but no one would ever get tired of seeing a beauty like Olive in her underwear, no matter how many times you see her. The only bad thing is that the underwear of the time covered many important parts, unlike today's underwear. That's a pity, but I still have to admit that it's quite exciting.

"Let's go" - said Olive.

At some point that I don't know, I had already taken off all my clothes and was now in my underwear.

"Yes, I follow you" – I nodded.

Then, Olive walked towards what appeared to be a small grotto nestled among some small rocks. This cavity was not very large, but it was large enough to house a small wooden boat that seemed to be tied to one of the stones.

"Have you hidden a boat here?" – I asked surprised.

"Yes. I use it when I want to clear my head and see the sea. Ot relaxes me" – Olive nodded.

Well, I guess everyone has their own tastes, so I don't see anything off.

"Help me to get it out" – said Olive.

While she untied the rope that tied the small boat to the rock to prevent it from leaving, I held it to prevent the waves from carrying it away.

After a couple of minutes, we had already gotten on the boat and were heading to the open sea with some oars that were inside the same boat.

"Do you like the sea?" – Olive asked.

When I looked at Olive, I saw that she said that to me as she looked at the horizon. As if she wanted to leave there and explore what lay beyond this island.

"I love it, the sea is... mysterious" – I nodded.

I'm not lying, I always thought the sea was mysterious. In fact (and please don't laugh at me), in my other life I spent a few years going to look for mermaids. Yes, well, it was an embarrassing time for me, but you can't blame me, I was so desperate to find that exciting world that I completely lost my sense of shame.

"Mysterious? Yes, I had never stopped to think about it, but... It really seems quite mysterious" – Olive nodded.

Then, we continue paddling a little until we are quite far from the shore.

"It's here" – said Olive.

"What do you mean. Wasn't it the sea that you wanted to show me?" – I asked.

"No, fool. It's underwater" – smiled Olive.

And then, without warning, she jumped into the sea and began to sink immediately. I didn't mention it, but even though Olive was in her underwear she was still wearing her lead shoes because otherwise she would fly away without being able to control it. That's why she sank immediately after she had jumped.

Calmly, I also plunged into the sea with the intention of following her. Am I not worried that she jumped into the sea with lead shoes? If she has thrown herself into the sea with those shoes... It's because she's already done it several times and therefore knows what she's doing.

I sank into the sea as I was constantly descending, but the speed with which Olive was sinking was several times faster than mine because of the weight she was carrying on her feets. Little by little we went down and, although the exercise had made my lung capacity much higher than that of normal people, I was running out of oxygen and my ears were beginning to suffer the consequences of the pressure. I could only go down a few more meters before I had no choice but to go up. Why doesn't Olive seem affected by pressure or lack of oxygen?

Olive, who was sinking rapidly, saw Jacob's speed slow down considerably and suddenly a huge bubble came out of her mouth and hit Jacob's head squarely.

Shocked by what had just happened, I stood still for a moment. Suddenly, Olive had "spit out" what appeared to be a huge bubble and although it was slow and I could have dodged, the lack of oxygen prevented me from moving faster to perform such a feat and shocked me. Amazingly, when the bubble hit me, I could feel that all the pressure I felt in my ears was gone and I was even able to breathe again with ease.

"Her peculiarity is not only good for floating, but it allows her to store a huge amount of oxygen in her lungs" – I said surprised.

No matter how much I breathed, the bubble did not deplete its oxygen. It is as if the bubble itself could produce oxygen. However, worrying about how a peculiar's peculiarity works is foolish, so I kept going down while chasing Olive.

Soon, I could see what appeared to be a huge ship. No, it was literally a huge ship that seemed to have sunk for some reason. As I could see from above, the hull didn't look damaged at all, which raised a question: why did the ship sink if it seems to be in perfect condition?

I didn't understand it very well but I didn't need it because soon, Olive reached the bottom, looked up and pointed to a small window that was completely open. Surely she wanted to tell me to come in this way, because she herself enter in the next moment.

Although she couldn't see me, I nodded and a few seconds later, I too reached the bottom and entered through the window. There, I could see Olive who was waiting for me.

Seeing me there, Olive opened her mouth and a huge bubble came out of her mouth, covering us both completely.

"What do you think?" – Olive asked.

The bubble that was previously in my head, burst as I entered in the other.

"Is this what you wanted to show me?" – I asked in amazement.

"Yes, this is my secret place. I come here when I want to be alone or reflect on... things" – Olive nodded.

Amazed, I looked around. The entire interior was made of wood and now we were in what seemed to be a kind of dining room because there was what seemed to be a huge table anchored to the floor with chairs that, for some reason, did not float. Can you really anchor a chair to a wooden floor? No idea, but this was what I was seeing and the chairs didn't float either, so... I suppose it could be done.

"It's beautiful" – I nodded.

It was an incredible sight. We were dozens of meters under the sea in a sunken ship. It was just exciting!

Yes, in my previous life I also did similar things, but doing it with a beautiful girl is always much better.

"Well, that's not all. Let's go" – said Olive.

Then, as if she could control the bubble herself, we headed for what appeared to be the captain's room. How do I know? I think because there was a big desk with a huge chair and a skeleton sitting on it.

Olive was unfazed by the presence of that skeleton and instead, she left the bubble and closed the door. But just as I was about to ask her what she was doing, she stood in front of one of the two small windows and began to blow. Yes, I'm not exaggerating nor am I making it up. She started blowing so hard that all the water started coming out of the window. Within seconds, all the water had flowed out of the window. Olive quickly closed the small window.

When this happened, the bubble burst and I was able to land on the ground perfectly.

"I didn't know you could do that" – I said impressed.

"I didn't know it before either. On the surface this is useless, but at least here it is useful" – said Olive.

" It's still amazing" – I said.

"Thank you" – Olive said with a smile.

Then, we started talking about trivial things again. We told each other stories that had happened to us over the years. I told her about my childhood and in return she told me about hers. It was kind of sad, but I won't go into detail because it's not too important for now. The important thing is that, little by little, a small world (metaphorically speaking), began to be created around us. A strange environment surrounded us and without realizing it, we had created a romantic atmosphere. After all, being down here on an abandoned ship while talking about trivial things, some funny and some not, ends up creating this kind of atmosphere. Especially if we already had some feelings for each other.
