Chapter 18 - Chapter EIGHTEEN: Spa Day.

Aside from the border and the coat rack there were also potted plants located in strategic places around the room.

Numbering five plants in all, two were set on opposite sides of the door, one was placed on the desk near the lamp, and the others were set next to a small recliner often used by the rooms' owner in order to catch up on their many hours of lost slumber.

Over the recliner was draped a decorative fleece throw, white with pale blue roses scattered here and there on it. Even though it seemed to have been folded neatly as if not used since its last wash, there were obvious wrinkles in the fabric that told of recent use.

There was also a small circular rug lying on the floor next to the recliner incase they wanted to take their shoes off.

The floor would be too cold for their sensitive feet.

By the dining table were dishes arranged in a formal table setting and a candelabra lamp at the middle with the pretty candles on.

There was also a wine bottle.

She first took photos of the room then started going around each and every room looking at the beautiful scenery.

It's frosty air makde warm breath turn to a slight translucent haze, continuos sound echo's around the glossy polished tiling covering the whole bathroom.

Being daytime only reflections from the window lightens the room, making silhouettes.

Broken mirror shattered sharp like knives over the floor, picked up rays which dance along the window sill, moist air made it seem like a shower had been taken, letting off a putrid smell, as though something was withering away in the corner and had been forgotten about.

The shower curtain lay half hanging on the shower hook.

The bathroom itself was made of white and blue tyles and a shower in a small room where next to it was was the bathtub.

With a cabinet full of towels just above the bathtub.

The faucet was silver in colour. There was a small compartment room where the latrine was.

The living area consistsed of cloud customizable sectional sofas with a coffe table at the middle and a television supported on the front wall.

On the ceiling were restaurant like feel in the living room - bronze living room lamps.

......

The flaming hot sun continued to beat down on my already sweaty body as Hu Le Qi walked along the searing sands of the beach in his purple flip flops.

He took out his wallet from my shorts, and then pulled out a crumpled $5 bill.

He ran through the sand eagerly, dodging the tons of unique sandcastles all over the place.

He got into the endless line at a bright and flashy ice-cream cart with a young women serving.

There were a billion of choices for ice-cream all written in cursive on an antique chalkboard.

Finally, after a million years, he chose the chunky chocolate topped with mini smarties and told my order to the lady.

He admired the beautiful detailed umbrella looming above me with its cool shade and exquisite designs.

He continued to look around and came upon some sailboats drifting in the middle of the ocean, kids playing beach volleyball, the calming soft waves splashing against the shore.

He almost started day dreaming but then my order came!

He paid for his ice-cream and immediately took a bite.

The creamy taste of chocolate filled his mouth leaving a melting sensation.

He was immediately cooled down from the scorching sun and my whole body relaxed.

He took a bite from the waffle cone making a loud "CRUNCH" but he just continued enjoying it.

He didn't even know how fast he finished the cone until he snapped back into reality from the squeaking of the wheels of the ice-cream cart.

He sadly realized my ice-cream cone was gone but I knew that was the best ice-cream cone ever.

Across from him was a handsome, dark haired man, broad-shouldered holding a Les Paul classic custom guitar playing melodious songs while he lay on a nice big red beach chair.

In his hand was a big glass of cold lemonade shimmering in the bright sun as he took a sip it cooled the inside of my throat causing me to keep my cool temperature in the hot summer.

It was the perfect day to be out, with the sun casting just the right amount of shine to give him that perfect sun-kissed tan.

He was lying on a beautiful red chair with my legs sprung up.

As, he got up and started to walk towards the ocean , he could hear the waves up ahead.

He took my shoes off and set foot on the hot, white sand.

He could feel the sand going through in between his toes from every step he took.

As he stroll along the edge of the beach he felt free of worries and stress, he was just enjoying the honeymoon, no nagging, or work just free time.

In the middle of the ocean were many surfers in yellow shorts riding in the various color surfboards.

They were going so fast doing so many tricks.

As Yan Xinyi strolled along she could feel the soft smooth sand beneath her feet.

She was taken in by the calming atmosphere that encircled her.

She closed her eyes, letting myself absorb the blistering rays of the sun on a scorching summer day.

She was comforted by the sounds of the ocean; the rhythmic pounding of the waves suppressing all of her worries.

The smell of barbeque cooking, loud music coming from the jeeps passing by, and families coming together.

She looked into the cloudless blue sky and see the perfection of life.

She often wanted to be like a seagull, drifting endlessly in the wind without a care in the world.

As she sat on her chair she could see all the sights of summer.

Children building sandcastles along the ocean's edge, to my right she observed an elderly couple indulged in a good book.

She was soon at the point where her skin could no longer stand the ruthless heat of the blazing summer sun.

She ran as fast as her feet could carry her toward what my body sees as a endless pool of crystal blue water.

She dived into the crashing waves head first.

As she dived into the deep blue ocean she could feel and taste the chilly, cool and refreshing water surrounding her body as chills ran down her back.

As soon as she got back to her seat, she was immediately taken by the scent of freshly sliced fruits and freshly picked flowers.

As she moved along, brightly colored fruit stalls filled the sidewalks from which fresh fruit was cut.

From a fruit stand, the scent travelled all across the beach with the help of the cool breeze which allowed the scent to fill the air.

With her eyes closed, she breathed in the ocean bliss that paraded the beach.

In the evening the sky was transformed into a colorful horizon; filled with endless streams of purple and pink together with the slanting rays of the sun.

The evening sun cast long shadows on the ground.

The slanting rays of the setting sun gave a warm orange tinge to the sky.

The sky was ablaze with the fire of the setting sun.

Fireworks soon lit up the sky as the people on the beach disappeared walking to their homes.

The night sky was aglow with bright city lights.

The pale crescent moon shone like a silvery claw in the night sky.

We looked up at the blanket of stars that stretched to infinity.

The occasional barking of faraway dogs broke the silence of the night.

The day dawned crisp and clear.

The sun poured through the window.

Another day had dawned, bringing with it new hopes and aspirations.

The light of dawn seeped into my room.

Yan Xinyi rubbed her bleary eyes and walked to the window.

There was a pearly glow in the sky.

The first rays of sunlight lit up my room.

The dawn chorus of melodic birdsong drifted in.

The rising sun cast a rosy hue across the morning sky.

Golden fingers of sunlight lit up the scene.

The just-risen sun shone softly on the city streets, bringing with it a flurry of early-morning activity.

It was only 8:00am, the Chinese restaurant was already a sea of people, and even a gnat is hard to pass through.

Inside the Chinese restaurant, there were huge crowds and the appetizing smell of dim sum float in the air, making people to slobber.

Most of customers were families, the sons and daughters taking care of their elders, little children playing on their own.

As there were no toys, the children play with the chopsticks and bowls, pretending they are playing drums.

A child even left his seat and run in the restaurant.

Since there were many waiters holding hot water and dishes to serve their customers, if the staff not aware of the child, both of them might have gotten hurt.

The child's mum was so worried about her son, she kept yelling his son's name and chasing him simultaneously.

As the restaurant was so tumultuous, people need to chat in a loud voice.

People's hubbub and laughing, playing sound from children make the restaurant became bustling.

Just the moment they sat down, the waiter asked them which type of tea they would have liked to drink and "clank, clank" he put the bowls, spoons, cups and chopsticks trimly and craftily in front of Yan Xinyi.

The level of proficiency of the waiter was as fast as a cheetah.

Yan Xinyi's stomach kept shouting, reminding Hu Le Qi to order the dim sum speedily.

Before long, the table yet full of mouth-watering dim sum likes the juicy pork dumplings, creamy egg custard bun, the smooth steamed rice roll and crispy spring egg roll.

Yan Xinyi ate the bun quickly, it was so hot that makes her mouth to burn, however it was still very tasty.

The dim sum in the Chinese restaurant was the best and most delicious as they were freshly cooked and at the time they were served to customers, the dim sums are still steaming.

Only in the Chinese restaurant, they could try the traditional dim sums and it was irreplaceable.

The dim sums were so palatable, even Hu Le Qi was already full, and he willing to eat more of them.

They had ordered an indulgent spa break for two.

Yan Xinyi and Hu Le Qi parted ways when they went to the spa room.

The beauty salon was such a calm space that the tension within her evaporated as soon as she entered through the double doors.
