Samuel's POV
...
I held my bouquet of flowers loosely in my hand and stared at my slightly bitter, but mostly bored, expression in the tinted window.
I had my car parked discreetly so I could see whoever arrived at the dock. Damn, would it kill her to set her alarm early? She's so irresponsible, so childish, so-.
I saw a long black limo pull up to the dock and I saw Scarlett step out. I slightly restricted my breath she looked, stunning.
With her wild yet downy gorgeous black hair that swayed gently with the breeze. Her lips reminded me of two plump peaches covered in honey.
Her creamy white shoulders and her leg were exposed by her dress. Her dainty little feet
Oh, and not to mention her eyes. Her eyes looked so...cute. No, not just cute absolutely adorable. They didn't quite match the rest of sexy appearance but they're what captivated me the most.
The mascara that intended to make them sharper and more mature. Instead made them look big and innocent. The slight flecks of gold that rested in her amber eyes reflected the light from the sun, even though she put her hand in front of her face and they sparkled beautifully.
I snapped out my trance when she put on some sunglasses she had in her purse. I grabbed the bouquet and got out of the car.
I walked rather slowly so I could perfect my smile but then I noticed as Scarlett clasped her hands together and looked as if she was ready to cry.
I found that a genuine smile had unconsciously appeared on my face. I may not love her but she really is so cute.
I walked closer and announced, " Surprise."
Making her flinch and then whip around and exclaiming, " Samuel!"
She rushed over to me with a big smile on her face. She was practically shaking with excitement and then she laid her eyes on the flowers in my hand.
Her face and her ears turned bright red and she bit her bottom lip.
She looked excited for a moment but suddenly she changed. Her face turned from red to pale and she gripped her chest. "*Hah hah hah*" She started to breathe heavily.
"Honey?" I called put to her but I don't think she heard me. She looked like she was possessed by a ghost.
I couldn't tell if she was about to throw up or collapse to the ground in tears.
Just what the hell did I do?
*Sigh* This is probably her just trying to get attention. If that's so I can wait until she gives up.
Sure she was pretty but Scarlett always caused problems when she was a child. Always the attention craver and whenever somebody scolded her she would wail like a baby saying that she didn't do anything wrong.
She always caused problems to her parents and my sweet Aurora. That's why I always try to stay out of the country, to be away from her. She was such a brat, such a child, such a vile person, in fact, she's a total b-.
"*Hah hah gasp wheeze wheeze*" I stopped my internal rant when Scarlett's breathing became extremely erratic and she seemed like she couldn't catch get breath.
I saw that she was starting to panic and was shaking uncontrollably.
So in a split-second decision, I brought her into my arms gently pressing my chin into the top of her head. She was really tiny but her heels made her taller and much easier to hug.
I could feel her panicked and shaky breaths against my chest and her seemingly endlessly trembling body.
Could it be that...she wasn't pretending. But she's never done anything like this before.
A little while after I wrapped my arms around her I felt her breathing ease up. When it did she nuzzled her head into my neck, slightly tickling me. She then raised her arms behind my back and clutched onto my clothes.
I took this chance to take a quick peek at her face. Her shades had slid down a little revealing a slight most in her big eyes, and her big lips slightly pouting. So cute...- no wait! What am I thinking?
I quietly cleared my throat and asked her with a slight chuckle accidentally slipping out, " * ha ha * Feeling better?"
I could feel her tremble and saw her ears turn red... Okay, she is cute but that doesn't mean anything. It's just a solid fact.
Scarlett nodded against my neck and mumbled, " Yeah. You shouldn't smoke so much, by the way, it's not good for you."
What the-, how did she notice? I sprayed so much cologne. But I just assured her, "I know, I know. I'm working on it."
She removed her head from my neck and looked up at me with her cheeks similar to a chipmunks'. "Well, work harder then." She pouted.
I felt a smile form on my face and I replied, " Ok, ok. I will." I gently pressed my lips onto my forehead and-.
Woah, wait! That was an accident, I didn't mean too! Like I said she's cute but I'd never dream of kissing her because I'm one of the people who knows that she's so vile!
Ignoring my internal argument I asked, " Shall we get going my dear?"
She made a big smile and replied, " Of course my love."
I let go of her waist even though I didn't really want too and offered her my arm. She took it without hesitation and looking like the happiest person in the world.
We started walking to the yacht and I shot a quick glance over to Scarlett, who for some reason, looked very determined all of a sudden as she squeezed my arm tighter.
I wanted to ask but I decided against it. *Yawn* Damn I'm tired, I needed this. I'm going to sleep this entire trip.
