#Book 2 Chapter 8
“I’m a fisherman! Haha. I also bring tourists to other islands…”
“Oh is that-”
” Baby, we need to get to our boat already. I still have plans for you later” I stopped speaking when Keian nudged my arm like a child again.
I narrowed my eyes at him but nodded and turned back to Lemuel.
“Heyy, we’ll be heading off now… My companion here is getting a little impatient.” Lemuel waved his hand.
“Sure! If you ever needed anything, just look for me.”
“How can I find-”
” Let’s go” I glared at Keian as he quickly pulled me away.
I apologetically looked at Lem who only smiled at me.
Then he followed behind us.
Huh?
Keian stopped in his tracks and turned to Lem.
” Why the hell are you following us?!” He asked, completely annoyed.
I lightly hit him on the arm but he didn’t give a damn.
“Ah, my apologies. I have a customer on his way so I could bring him to another island. They’re gonna ride a boat going to that island being guarded by men in black. It’s over there!” Lem pointed at the boat where Keian’s men stood by.
Don’t tell me…
“You’re the one who’s going to take us to the private island?” I cheerfully asked.
“Oh, so you’re the ones who’s gonna ride on that boat? If so, then it is I indeed.”
Keian huffed as Lemuel led the way towards his boat.
This time, it was my turn to pull Keian who’s now got a frown on his face.
—
” Bye Lem!!!” I waved my hand as I watched the boat where we just rode on sail away from us.
Lemuel and I were chatting and catching up while on the boat.
And I could notice Keian being obviously irritated.
Like now, he was the first to walk upfront while carrying our things inside a huge and majestic-looking home. It’s a one-story house but from the looks of it, there’s certainly a lot to be surprised of.
Basically, it was just me and Keian on this island.
The island is wide and one could not simply walk around it but at the same time, it’s not that huge.
I sighed and followed him inside.
Then I was amazed at all of the interiors inside the home.
Everything in here was made in detail. It doesn’t look old even if this has been made for 20 years already.
I pouted and went over to Keian who started rummaging his clothes from the mallet that his men brought for him earlier.
I bent over a bit and observed his face.
Annoyance was obvious in his mood but he tries his best not to show any expression.
” Keian” I called to him.
” Hmm?” He doesn’t look at me and just went on to tossing out some clothes.
“What were the plans you were saying that we’re going to do?” I asked, trying to sound sweet as possible.
I really would admit I have spoken to Lem quite longer and gave him most of my attention than with Keian when we were on the boat.
In my defense, we haven’t really seen each other in a long time…
” Don’t worry about it, I’ll handle it.” He coldly stated and stood up.
This made me pout as he went to the kitchen.
I decided to let him be for now. Who knows later, his head would cool off in no time.
So I roamed around the house.
There’s only one room in here, that’s where Keian and I turned in our things.
There’s the bathroom, the dining room and kitchen are in one area. There’s a living room and a storage room.
Everything is so simple and the ambiance is perfect when you want a serene and peaceful vacation.
I went to a lanai at the back of the house and saw the beautiful ocean, not far from here.
I remembered the bikini I just bought earlier and suddenly felt excited to use it and go swimming.
—
I looked in awe at my reflection in the mirror.
I am now wearing a swimsuit. Earlier, I was having second thoughts if I should wear it since I’m not used to wearing such but then my mind went back to what Keian told me while we were checking out the bikinis.
That’s where I had the confidence.
He’s right when he said we’re the only people here on the island…
That’s why right now, I’m checking what I look like in the mirror while wearing the black bikini top with an off-shoulder style and a high waist bottom.
The cloth around my body isn’t that tight that way the baby inside wouldn’t be squished.
The baby bump is slightly evident but that’s okay.
I wore a see-through shirt and smiled at my reflection.
What could be Keian’s possible reaction once he sees me?
I happily went out of the bathroom then out of the house.
I walked towards Keian who’s currently fixing some wood. He’s probably planning to make a bonfire for tonight.
“Keian!” I called so he turns to me with his usual cold expression.
He raised an eyebrow when I did a pose in front of him.
” What?” He irritatedly asked.
I frowned upon hearing that and sadly let out a smile.
“Nothing… Do you want me to help you there?”
I thought his head already cooled off, that’s not the reaction I was expecting from him.
But it’s okay. There’s nothing special about this garment that I’m wearing anyway.
Hehe.
Even though he was the one who picked it in the first place.
” Tsk, don’t bother. Just go swim and don’t go too far” He avoided his gaze from me as if he was technically ignoring me.
I sighed heavily and went over to him even if I was upset with him.
” Okay, thank you for this” He furrowed his eyebrows at me in confusion.
I pecked a kiss on his cheek and walked towards the water.
I removed the see-through cover wrapped around me as I let myself feel the touch of waves on my feet.
I stared at the sand for a while, sighed then walked further at the sea till the water reaches my hips.
I could understand why Keian is acting that way. This is supposed to be our vacation, after all, the two of us…
But I really can’t help myself because I was really glad to be able to see Lemuel again.
He helped me quite a lot before…
It’s also been three years since we last saw each other.
I tied my hair up in a bun and started playing by myself in the water.
“Baby” my heart skips a beat as I felt Keian wrapping his arms around me from behind.
I could feel the warmth of his body. He’s shirtless and he’s only wearing some shorts right now.
I took a deep breath and held both of Keian’s hands that are positioned around my hips.
” I’m sorry…”
” He helped me survive, Keian. When I was alone and never found any place to stay. He even helped me with my grief, when my family was taken away from me. He helped me look for part-time jobs just so I could earn money.” I stated to him. He tightens his hold on me.
He slipped his face on the crook of my neck.
” I’m sorryyy. I was just upset that it seems like you wanted to talk to him more than me. You were so happy while conversing with him.”
I played with his fingers that I’m currently holding…
“Even if you were that person whom I haven’t seen in three years, I would always be happy being able to talk with you again. Probably much happier than what I had shown to Lemuel today.” He sighed and pecked a kiss on my cheek.
” I understand.” He made me face him.
” I’m sorry, again, for being cold to you” he smiled and cupped my cheeks together.
I leaned at his hand.
” You look so beautiful. I knew the bikini I picked for you will look very good. You’re so sexy, you’re the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen…” Then he kisses my face repeatedly.
” You, are the mother of my child. The love of my life. You saved me from falling down and I’m grateful for that. I’m grateful and happy that I met you. That you became my maid. Thank you, Nassandra” This made me smile.
My heart is beating at a very fast pace and my chest felt so much.
Not because of sadness, but with joy and pure giddiness.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
He pecked my lips then hugged me tightly.
” Thank you, Keian”
