Chapter 25 - 24 Chapter

He looked up and smiled when he saw me. I went to my chair after greeting him with a soft nod. We waited in silence for the others. They got some time later them i did. We all greeted each other before eating the breakfast. Everyone is excited to go to the beach. Every time i looked up from my plate i saw Marcel already looking at me. What a weirdo. After the breakfast we all got up and headed to the main door. Our maids got our bags ready for the fun day out. We got on our horses once we had our bags on our backs. Some guards went with us to keep us safe. I kinda spaced off midway to the beach.

Marcel POV

Shit. I'm starting to fall for her. My mission is to get close to them and bring them down. But it's hard. No one said that she would be this beautiful even after all these years spent in stone. I love her bold attitude, she looks cold and mean but she is sweet and caring. I can't believe that i kissed her yesterday. I can't get her soft lips out of my head. Her face looked cute when she was blushing. I smiled at the thought of her red shy face. I looked over at her and i saw that she spaced out. Every time i look at her my heart skips a beat. I don't know what to do....betray my dad and live with them? Or betray them and give them over to my dad..? Why is it so hard to choose.. 'aaaaaa we are finally here.' Arthur spoke up. I saw Taraji coming back from spacing out. We all got off the horses and went to the beach with our bags. The beach looked wonderful. 

We all looked for our own spaces. After we found them we placed our beach towels on the sand. Arthur took off their clothes revealing their swimming clothes underneath. They ran into the water, and Jackson and Espen followed them right after into the water. I saw that Taraji smearing herself in the sun scream. I walked over to her and sat down next to her. 'Do you need any help with your back?' I asked her. I saw her jump a bit before turning to me. 'If you would be so kind...' She spoke up with a soft tone giving me the sun scream. I squeezed some on my hand and rubbed her back in gently. I saw her scars and she has most of her back covered. Even with all of these scars, her skin feels soft. Without me noticing what i was doing i leaned in and kissed her shoulder which wasn't covered in the cream yet. She jumped up from the kiss, she turned her red face to me taking the sun scream out of my hand and pushing me away. I fell backward on the sand, she moved away from me rubbing herself in the sun cream further. 

She threw the bottle at me when she was done. 'Rub it on you, you weasel.' She added looking away with her arms crossed against her chest. I sat up and chuckled at her before smearing myself in the sun cream. She came and stood next to me, staring at the ocean with her arms crossed. 'Can you stop being so angry at me?' I asked breaking the silence. She glanced over at me before looking back at the ocean. 'No.' She answered simply. I chuckled again and grabbed her arm pulling her towards the ocean. She looked at me and raised an eyebrow at me. I dragged her in the warm water until she couldn't stand anymore. She splashed me causing me to splash her back. Soon we were both laughing uncontrollably. We kept playing with each other till we became tired. We went to the shore and lay down. Others are still running around and splashing each other. We chuckled and lay there.

I closed my eyes to feel the sun's rays shine on me. I opened one eye and looked at Taraji. 'You know I can just tell them to not splash you right?' I asked her. She shrugged lightly. 'I don't care.' She replied while keeping her eyes on the blue sea.
