Candy's POV
I dozed off and thinking I was in my room, I reached out for my teddy bear and caught hold of it not letting go cause this particular teddy was warmer. At a point I got tired of this position and snuggled closer to the bear and I was happy to discover that this particular teddy was warmer and bigger.
I murmured my appreciation to the soul that bought this teddy for me. I must have slept for a very long time because I suddenly heard a distant voice asking us to wake up and I said inwardly "How did this dude get into the house and who is he referring to?".
I ignored him and continued with my beauty rest until I heard a very soft voice which is very familiar to me "Candy, I think it's time you get off me". "What is Brian doing here? Who let him into my room?" I questioned myself.
Immediately I perceived his cologne and then it hit me "Candy you're not at home, you're in a bus sitting beside Brian, going on a trip and there's a possibility that he's your dream teddy bear" I mentally alerted myself and sat up immediately. I opened my eyes in shock when I saw myself on his body and I almost screamed but I controlled myself and stood up from his body.
"How did I end up here? Am I this restless when I sleep?" Many thoughts ran through my head but nothing tangible came to my mind so I gave him a totally stupid reason "I'm sorry about this, I thought I was at home and that you were my teddy bear" I explained looking down at my shoes.
There was silence for a few minutes and I noticed that the other students have left the bus so I mumbled an apology and was about to leave when he said in a soft voice "You're forgetting your phone". I stopped in my tracks and went back for it.
I tried to collect it but he heard onto it and with a teasing smile on his face, he said "I just wanted to know, Is your teddy bear as comfortable as I am". I turned red instantly and snatched my phone. I hurriedly left before he could notice my red cheeks.
Brian's POV
Four hours later, we arrived at the island. I was awake when we arrived because I couldn't sleep with her on my body. I had naughty thoughts running through my head but I waved them off and tried to concentrate on the notifications I was getting on my phone. I received a threat message from Dad but I was not moved. "I'm doing this for my happiness. I deserve to be happy too and you make me happy" I said the last sentence looking at her.
The driver walked round the bus and was waking students by shouting at them and tapping them. When he got to my seat, he said the same thing referring to Candy but she just moved a little and went back to sleep. I chuckled and signalled the driver to leave her for me to handle. He gave me a mischievous smile and left.
I tried and finally succeeded in waking her. I watched her reaction and it was not what I expected. At first she was shocked then she had a confused look on her face but then instead of accusing me like I expected, she gave me a reason why she hugged me and apologized.
I was surprised but I did not show it and remained silent. She turned to leave but I called her back, gave her phone to her and asked her a teasing question. I watched her blush but she hurried out to avoid me seeing it. I chuckled at her reactions and picked up my jacket which I used to cover her laps. It fell when she stood up but she didn't notice it.
I carried my luggage and left the bus. I quickly paid the driver and told him to come back in the next nine days. I went to meet the students and found them waiting for me in the open space which would be our camping ground.
I greeted them all and said "As you all know, we'll be here for nine days so I won't you all to have fun and bond amongst yourselves. Have fun, explore and stay safe. Now, I checked the number of students here and due to number of tents we have, I want three students in a tent and all students tents should be on the right. The staff members that are here to help secure you, take care of you and keep you safe will have their tents built at the left and I want two staff members on a tent. My tent should be on the far end of the right because I don't like noise when I am sleeping. Have I made myself clear?".
I noticed that some students mostly couples were not happy with my decision of making them three in a tent but no one dared to complain so everyone nodded in affirmative and set to work.
Three hours later, the tents were set up and a little bathroom was set up at the far end of the left for the females while another at the far end of the right for the boys. I made sure that my warning to the boys not to go over to the girls bathroom stuck well in their brains. I went over to check on the cook preparing dinner because Mrs Williams could not make it. I tasted the food and it wasn't that bad so I left them to their duties and went to my tent.
On my way, I saw Candy and her friends giggling loudly and moving towards the bathroom area with their buckets of water and towels hanging around their necks. I smirked at her but she just looked away and walked faster to meet Bella who was ahead of them.
I got to my tent and brought out my towel but I didn't want to go to the bathroom. I wanted to go to the small lake which is not so far away from the camping ground. I took a pair of joggers and a polo which I would change into when I'm done.
I came out and went towards the direction of the lake but I was utterly shocked to see a girl in the lake. She was oblivious of the world around her, humming the sweetest tone I have ever heard and slowly washing herself clean.
The moon was shining on her naked back making it glow and it made me wonder who this beautiful creature is. I boldly took a step closer and was about to call out to her when she turned sharply and from the shocked expression on her face, I knew it was Candy....
