Chapter 9 - You are hurting my feelings

 There are just so many factors to consider when planning. Most of the time, you will just be swept away by certain situations that you just get carried away like the unpredictable waves of the ocean.

She had her eyes focused on the waves as she sat on the soft white sand. The bright lights coming from the resort made such a cozy atmosphere but she just could not bring herself to relax. Her thoughts were in disarray and she just couldn't stop thinking if she should take the opportunity to run away or go to the room that he already booked. He just sent her the message of the info as he already made a booking for one of the luxurious rooms there.

"What am I doing?" She hugged her knees tightly.

"Ena."

She looked languidly up to see his post-workout appearance which was just too perfect on all sides and then thought about her appearance. She sweated a lot earlier and her hair was sticky at that point because of being exposed to the sea air for the whole day.

Two pretty girls approached him and her eyes moved from him to them.

"Hi! Is it your first time here? We were just wondering if you want to join us later. There is a live band performing later and a few drinks maybe? What do you say?" The model-like lady said in a flirtatious tone.

"Who's performing?" He asked.

Her eyes widened. Is he seriously entertaining those two women in front of her? She immediately regretted waiting for him.

"Dylan Ambrose!"

Her eyes widened again. Dylan Ambrose is an indie artist who is gaining popularity these days. She listened to one of his songs and was already hooked that she kept listening to it on her way to work to relieve her anxiety.

"What time is he performing?" She blurted out.

"Uhh… This performance can only be viewed by private guests." The lady said looking at her from head to toe.

"I am a private guest here. I am with him." She said as she stepped closer to him.

The girls' eyes widened for a second and then they smiled brightly.

"So, I guess we will see you around then." She said to him and took a quick mocking glance at her before leaving.

 They are totally thinking that he is just playing around and will just ditch me later. What can I say? Bingo! 

They went to the event hall and the performance was just starting. Everyone else was dressed well and she wished she could have dressed better than her plain black board shorts and white shirt. The two women who had talked to them earlier just entered and they changed into their seductive summer dresses with sky-high slits that exposed their long legs. She looked at him expecting that he was looking at them too but he was already looking at her so she immediately looked back at the stage.

The first song played and it did not take a while for her to get lost in the beautiful voice of Dylan Ambrose.

If there was one thing that took out the real her, it was music. She will just quickly let go and let the beautiful melodies take her. She threw her arms up in the air and celebrated upon hearing the intro of her favorite song. She can't sing well but she just sang along.

She was so focused that she did not notice that he was just watching every shift of her mood with each change of the song. He couldn't help but smile, seeing new sides to her like he was uncovering diamonds from the minerals shrouding them. It was truly precious. The last song played and she looked like she was about to cry, but then she suddenly flashed a big smile. That smile turned to him and he was not able to hold it anymore. He bent down and kissed her.

It may be because of the atmosphere of that night. She can't remember how they ended up in their room. They are still in the doorway and they are kissing completely filled with hunger toward each other. He was about to lift her shirt when she realized that she had not taken a bath yet.

"W-wait!"

"Ena, don't torment me anymore."

His voice was thick with passion that she felt melting hearing it.

"Sh-shower. I need to take a shower." She said, forcefully holding on to her sanity.

He saw the determination in her eyes that he obediently stepped away.

"Let's take one toge-"

"No." She rejected flatly.

He was still recovering from the shock of her rejection when she hurried to the bathroom. It was a luxurious bath sparkling all over and she wanted to use the bathtub but just decided to take a quick shower. After feeling the warm water and smelling the aromatic soap and shampoo, her muscles began to relax and she finally felt the built-up fatigue in her body. She stepped out of the bath and saw him sitting on the chair and looking down at his smartphone. He went back to work mode and she wondered if they should continue where they left off. She also wondered if she could still do it since she was already close to falling asleep. He finally turned to look at her and she almost jumped from the shock.

He went to her and lifted her chin. The kiss did not take long to come raining down on her. He lifted her up like a princess and took her to bed. He was already leaving marks on her neck when he heard such peaceful breathing. He jerked up to see her fast asleep.

"Seriously?" He found himself laughing at the ridiculous predicament that he had never experienced before.

"Ena, wake up. You are hurting my feelings." He teased as he squeezed her nose.

He rolled onto the other side of the bed and closed his eyes, then he found himself laughing again.

She woke up feeling well-rested. She opened her eyes and saw a sculpture of perfection that only the greatest artist in the whole world could make. She decided to take the opportunity of taking it all in. From his jet-black hair to his flawless face, long neck, and the hand lying next to his face. She began to feel something grip her heart and it was tightening as she focused on his hand and slender fingers. She tried to stop herself but it was just too strong of a temptation that her index finger began tracing each of his fingers up to his wrist.

She was feeling triumphant when the hand she was marveling at suddenly grabbed her own.

"Ena."

He took her hand next to his gorgeous face and she felt embarrassed. He just quietly stared at her and the calmness of his composure also calmed her down and she found herself staring deeply into his eyes. The sun's rays entered from the window and she could even see the rings and lines on his pupils. It was like it was asking her to look deeply for a chance that they would show her something astonishing.

"Ena… Your robe is slipping."

She looked down and saw half of her breast out of the robe. She tried to cover herself but suddenly, he was on top of her and he pulled the robe away to completely expose her upper half.

"Don't you think you owe me for what happened last night?"

She searched her memory and it did not take long for her to realize what he was talking about however he also did not wait for her response as he was already fondling both of her breasts and he went to suck then tease with his tongue.

I'm in trouble.
