Our boat stopped near the island. From here on the boat, we can see the view of Black Island. It was more beautiful than I expected. I haven't seen the whole of it, but judging from the outside of the image, I am sure it is a beautiful island.
"Ish, come on. Let's swim." Brent gladly invited me as he wore his snorkeling mask. Actually, he was always excited, his broad smile couldn't leave his face.
"All right, go ahead. I'll follow." I replied. I circled my vision of the boat. I didn't see Nathan.
Where is he? Where did he go?
"Hey, who are you looking for?" I returned to my senses when Brent suddenly grabbed the whole of my cheek with his two palms and made me turn toward him.
"What are you doing?" I asked him, bewildered.
He slightly laughed as he removed his hands from gripping my cheeks. He returned his attention to the sea as he wore his fins.
"Come on, put on your snorkeling suit. Nathan is waiting underwater." He said and stood up after wearing the snorkel fins.
But what did he say? Nathan is already underwater? Why didn't I notice that he went first?
I quickly turned my gaze to the water. There, I saw Nathan swimming in the water. He wasn't that deep down, so I was able to see his whole body in the reflection of the water.
"Yes. Wait for me." I said and got up from my seat. I removed the oversized shirt that I was wearing.
"Wh... Whoah? Why are you wearing a two-piece?" Shocked by an irritating question from Brent after I showed him my white two-piece. I took off the swim cap and wore it.
"Why? What is the matter? Aren't we going to swim? This is the outfit when swimming, right? I want the fish to be amazed at what I'm wearing." I smirked at him. The next thing I took was the snorkeling fins.
"Yeah, but should the rush guard be the one you wore? Ish, we are not the only people on this island. It's too revealing." He shook his head.
"Are you serious? Hello? In case you have forgotten, we are already in the modern generation, Brent! Wake up. Jeez! Besides, we are at a beach. Not in the mall." I rolled my eyeballs at him and I stood up after wearing the snorkeling fins.
"Hey! Come on—" it was Nathan's voice echoed from the water.
I looked in his direction.
A big smile grew on my lips when Nathan wasn't able to continue his sentence when I looked at him. He lifted his snorkel mask over his head. He is looking at me like he is simping over my body.
I knew it. He has always been attracted to me.
I wore my snorkel mask. "We're coming!" I shouted back. "Let's go, Brent." I dived into the water first. The water is warm. It relaxes my body.
I swam closer to Nathan, but it wasn't that close. We are three feet away from each other.
"What makes you quiet?" I asked him with a smile. He looked at me but for a moment, he immediately turned his gaze away from me. But still, I could see his whole face. "Is it because I'm sexy, Nathan? Did I turn you on again?"
I heard him cough. "Come on! let's swim." He was a little bit stuttering. Again he went underwater and swam away.
A sweet smile left my face.
Is he shy of me? Gosh! Nathan, you just make me love you more. Why can't you tell me that you are simping over me?
"Ish! Come on! I have a camera. I'll take lots of pictures of you underwater. " Brent approached me at the same time he raised his right hand holding the camera. He waved it off.
"Yeah, you should!!" I smirked.
"Of course!" He chuckled.
We both went underwater. I saw some parts of the sunken ship that had been washed ashore. I also see many corals and various fish species. There are also turtles. They like having fun together. They look so cute!
Every time I calmly swim, they scatter and surround me. Brent took that picture with me. He also took photos of the turtles he met. What we are doing now makes me very happy.

"Thanks, Dan. I had already called for a yacht for our return to the hotel. Watch out for sailing." Brent said to the boat operator after he took us to the caves.
"You're welcome, Sir. Have a happy trip here too." Dan waved at us before he started the engine of his boat and left.
The three of us walked toward the large cave. I thought it was a mountain, because of its height and size, but no. I didn't realize it was a cave.
As we got near the entrance of the cave, a man approached us.
"Hello, good afternoon ma'am/sir. Welcome to Black Island. Do you want to go inside the cave?" He greeted and asked. I think he's the tour guide here.
"Yes. We want it," Nathan answered.
"I think the cave is beautiful. So, can we go inside now?" Brent added.
I ignored their conversation because I kept my attention throughout the cave. Lots of people wandering around, going inside and out.
"Sure, Sir. Shall we go?" The tour guide asked us.
"We shall," I answered.
Then, the tour guide led us and we followed him inside the cave. Brent was walking behind the tour guide, Nathan was walking behind him and I was walking behind Nathan.
I was looking at Nathan's back while we were walking. And when I stopped walking, my forehead hit his back. I wasn't aware that he would stop walking.
He turned around to face me.
"W... Why?" I was hesitant to ask him.
But instead of answering my question, he took off the cardigan he was wearing and wrapped it around my body.
"Your body is too lax, I don't want anyone to see it." He said coldly. He turned back to me after he put his cardigan on me and he continued walking.
I smiled at what he did. From the cold tone of his voice, I knew behind it, he was jealous. Because the boys here can't stop staring at me.
Who wouldn't?
The cave is huge and wide but we were only allowed at the entrance. But still, we're not disappointed. Because at the entrance of the cave, the surroundings are very impressive. After we reached the first cave, we proceeded to the second cave. It is the base we found two openings leading to the guts of the mountain. We climbed a short ladder, an easy entry, into the massive chamber of the cave. Its floor is cracked open, allowing a glimpse of the cold crystal water that filled its miniature lakes. Stalactites adorn its ceiling and rocks covered in sparkling white silica make up its walls. Like in the first cave, its walls shine when bathing in scarce light. Our tour guide focused on the flashlight he carried in each corner of the cave and on the ground we were walking on.
"At all times, people lack discipline," he said sadly. That's because there is some trash we see on the ground. "There's another cave that connects this beach to another on the other side of the island," he added, excitedly sharing with us about this cave.
Until we had finished touring the entire cave, we headed to the beach. The sand was soft. I'm sure it'll be nice to lie down when you go sunbathing. I really want to try that, but I don't think I can do that anymore. It's getting dark. The sun was about to set.
"Just enjoy the island, Sir, Ma'am. And we hope you enjoy our visit to the cave as well." The tour guide said and he bowed his head. "Have a great evening!" He gave his last words.
"Thank you for touring us here. We really enjoy it." Nathan said, and he shook hands with the tour guide.
"You're welcome, Sir. It's my responsibility to guide and give my customers a happy experience. I'll go ahead, Sir/Ma'am." Brent and I shook hands with him before he walked away.
"Anyway, our yacht will arrive soon. I'll just go to find the comfort room." Brent said, and he walked away.
Now, I was left with Nathan in front of the blue, calm, and beautiful sea. Perfect timing. Even for a short time, I wanted to be with him, just the two of us. Also, I want to talk to him. I have many questions for him that I need answers to.
I looked at him. He was standing next to me, but not that close. He was staring at the sea while both his hands were in his pockets. My gaze went down as he molded his jaw to his red lips.
I was kissed by this amazing man for the second time and I want that kiss for the rest of my life. It's like a poison in my body that doesn't want to disappear. From my sleep until I woke up, his kisses were what my body was looking for.
"Do you like me?"
