Adam suddenly felt in top of the world when he realized that Alice was jealous. Heheh...this was the best. When Alice noticed the delirious expression on his face, she was even more enraged and walked away with a harrumph. Disgusting man!
But Adam was not discouraged and followed behind Alice like an obedient little puppy even as she glared at him when he was munching on his churros! He could have discarded the bag of churros to pacify her jealousy but of course filling his stomach was just as important! Finally, Alice forgot about her anger under Adam's coaxing and the two people spent a leisurely time looking around at beach and finding pebbles and colorful sea shells.
Soon, the two people were busy competing making sand castles(rather forts) complete with little soldiers made of shells. Surreptitiously, Adam fished out his cell phone and clicked a few pictures of Alice who was busy concentrating on preparing the sand castle. She looked essentially cute with her two small teeth biting her pink lips as she concentrated on making the castle. Once the picture had been clicked, he looked happily at the perfect lighting and once again focused the camera on her and called out, " Alice?". She looked up with a small questioning look and he immediately clicked the picture. But in the next moment, Alice had abandoned her castle and stomped over to him, snatching her phone out of his hand, "What are you doing?" However before she could delete the pictures the phone was seized back and Adam ran away in a hurry. He was not going to loose his treasure so easily! This time Alice ran behind him and tried to get the phone, throwing all sorts of curses and threats at him.
A little faraway, President Mou and his wife, watched the two young people and grinned happily. He looked down at his wife and gloated," Did I not tell you that she was just like you? Prickly on the outside and soft on the inside."
Mrs. Mou looked at her husband and the last of her reservations melted away. Even though they had just agreed to cooperation this morning, she had been having some doubts. But watching the couple downstairs, playing like children, she knew that they had made the right choice. Even though these two people were different, they were in love and this way, their resort would not become a piece of land to be fought over by a couple!
The couple watched when Alice bent down with exhaustion, trying to catch her breath and Adam picked her up by coming from behind with his arms around her waist. Glancing at each other, the older couple retreated happily.
On the shore, Adam hugged Alice hard from behind, holding both her slender wrists in his large hand and with the other, he buried his nose in her neck and blew gently, while rubbing his nose causing her to be tickled as she tried to escape his grasp! And soon she was laughing in his arms happily, before they fell over backwards. Holding her in his arms, Adam leaned back a bit and felt even more warm when she leaned back into his embrace happily. Bringing his phone up, this time he clicked a selfie of both of them. Alice shook her head at this man was was obsessed about taking pictures and taking the phone from his hand, she brought up the camera to a higher angle and made a pose. And soon she had clicked a picture of herself pouting cutely and Adam staring at her in surprise. As their clothes were full of sand, the two people had to trudge back to the cruise and change before they went for some food.
In the lounge, there were not many people as the ship was set to sail back. They spent the rest of the evening on the deck watching the sun set and the moon rise.
As Alice stared at the dark sky, Adam wanted to capture her beauty in his heart. This time with her was an unexpected gift that he had dared not have. He wanted to confess his feelings for her. Today, the time they had spent together had made his heart restless. He was never a patient man and now that he had a taste of her companionship, he did not want to let go. Alice turned her head to say something to Adam when her eyes met his and suddenly she felt herself loosing herself in his gaze. Forgetting what she had been about to say, she could only look deep into his eyes and the emotions in there made her heart tremble..
