***A FEW HOURS LATER AFTER WE BEGAN FOLLOWING THE TRAIL***
"We have been on this trail for hours now Jacob, where the hell are we?" I desperately asked as i am tired of going around in circles with Jacob.
"Ke se vinaka cake me a lako ga mai na guide ya, instead of us finding our way through all this by ourselves" I quietly mumbled. {It would've been much better if that guide had come with us, instead of us finding our way through all this by ourselves}
Jacob just looked at me with a face, that clearly says "don't patronize me, i am doing the best I can through all this" to which i just simply shrugged and gestured to our surroundings.
"We are clearly lost Jacob" i sighed
"No we're not, i'm following this small map over here, we're on the right track okay. I got this" he said exhaustedly as he continued following the map trying to get us out of the trail and back on the beach.
We continued on silently with Jacob taking the lead. I look around my surroundings as i take the view in, i glanced on my right and see a small stream leading to God knows where and i followed it.
"Anyways we should be a little over there and we should be close to the beach by now" I heard Jacob said.
"Great, just wait here a sec, i'll be quick" i simply said without looking back at him and just continued following after the stream.
"Ale--Alethea, where on earth are you going?" Jacob asks and proceeds to follow me.
"That's the wrong place to go to Ale---where are you going?" Jacobs continues asking me as he continues to follow me.
After a few minutes of following the stream and ignoring Jacob's protests we finally came to a small but breathtaking waterfall.
It looks so magical, like from a fairytale movie and everything.
"Wow" i heard Jacob says from behind me.
I quickly spun around to face him considering he sounded pretty close to me from behind only to see him already looking down on me and smiling, i raised an eyebrow up and looked at him straight on while gesturing around the scene "you were saying?" i teased.
"I wasn't saying anything, it's just i didn't think it was a good idea to stray from the trail." he said casually trying to look serious.
"what trail, Jacob?" i asked him to which he just pointed at the map.
I laughed out loud and continued laughing when his serious face turned to confusion.
"Are you pointing at the map? The same map that got us lost in the first place? the same map you've been reading upside down for the past 2 hours??" i asked while still laughing.
His face turned into a light shade of red and his ears turned pink from embarrassment.
"Do you have something to say for yourself Mr. Camper?" i continue teasing him.
If it was possible to die of laughter, i'd probably would have already because now he was glaring at the ground.
He took a deep breath to compose himself before he took the map and placed on my hands "To be honest, i had no idea what i was doing" he admitted it before looking down.
I laughed and just shrugged it off, i quickly took the map and placed it inside my bag, putting my bag down beside my shoes before proceeding to take off my shoes and my clothes.
Jacob immediately looked away before turning his back on me completely. I just shook my head and went into the water.
"It's cold but sheeeeshhh, that feels good" i said before swimming around.
I looked back to where Jacob was to which he still has his back turned towards me or so.
"You can look now yenno, it's not like i am fully naked, i've got tights and my bikini top on, so you're in the clear" i said casually.
"I know but still, i'm a gentleman and seeing a woman like that without her permission is somewhat not right with me" he simply says still not turning around.
I sighed 'what a gentleman and yet he still bailed on me on our first date' i sarcastically thought.
"Well then you're missing out on this wonderful experience" i said trying to convince him to jump in for a swim.
He turned round, our eyes instantly locked and for a brief moment it felt as if we were the only people that existed in this island, it was just a simple eye contact but i felt like we were connected through something that may we have been searching our whole life and we're just scared to follow through with the universe plans. It felt as though we weren't just two people going through life like a challenge, it felt like were just one person together.
I quickly looked away breaking whatever that was before shaking my head off getting rid of those thoughts as he continues to stare at me.
I started getting self- conscious but he didn't break any eye contact and started taking off his t-shirt and even though he needed to break eye contact as soon as the shirt reaches up his face but it happened so fast and still didn't break any eye contact with me.
He started walking towards me until he is now only an arms length from me.
I couldn't say anything but just as i was about to say something snarky but couldn't...not after what he said and it left me speechless but i can't help but believe him when he said that because his eyes were so intense on me that it was so mesmerizing that i can't help but just stay silent.
