I was woken up by the soft lulled of the moving yacht. My face crunched up. The sun's harsh rays was almost blinding me which was seeping through the round, glass window. I covered my eyes and slowly sat up.
When did I get under the covers?
I was so tired from yesterday's event that I forgot to change my clothes. I moved the blanket aside and noticed I lose my stockings. I must have rolled them off last night.
I stood up and searched for my shoes, they were missing! I remember I left them at the foot of the bed. I circled the bed but still they weren't at the other side, too. My eyes wandered around and that's when I noticed a small indentation on the pillow beside me.
A fallen short blond hair was there. I picked it up.
Did he sleep with me last night?
I kept staring at that strand of blonde hair as if it was a sample for a DNA analysis. I took a nervous breath. Atleast, he didn't do anything uncouth to me.
Though I felt a small pang of regret for deep inside it would be nice to be kissed by him. I smiled. I was so weird.
I walked over to a small door and opened it. It was a small bathroom with a shower, an automatic Japan made toilet bowl and an oval shaped sink with all the necessary personal hygiene materials, too.
Toothbrush! I took one and put on some toothpaste then started brushing my teeth.
Couldn't I give my new husband a proper greeting with a bad breath, could I?
━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━
I walked along the the small stairwell leading upstairs to the sun deck. He wasn't on the mini-bar were I left him drinking last night. He wasn't on the small kitchen too from which I took a small can of orange juice in the fridge. There were cooked meals for breakfast at the dining table in the sky lounge but I wasn't sure if they were for me so I didn't eat them.
It was warm outside but the cool sea breeze lessened the warmthof the sun. We were far off shore that no islands were visible nearby.
Where was he taking me?
And where was he?
It looked like no one was in the boat but me.
I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself.
"Don't panic, Nicolaa. Calm yourself down". I whispered.
Then suddenly, I heard a large splash at forepeak, the front part of the yacht. I walked over there to inspect. All I saw was a ripple of bubbles as if someone dove into it. I watched it intently, hoping someone will emerge from there.
Thirty minutes had passed or so, but still I was alone in that boat. I started biting my thumbnail with worry.
My God! Where are these people?
Then I heard soft, squishing wet footsteps behind me. I turned around and there he was. Standing naked in all his lovely, manly glory. I covered my eyes with both of my hands instantly.
"What the-- what are you doing?!", I shrieked.
"Snorkeling. Wanna join me?"
"Like that?!"
"Yes. I'll get you a pair of googles and-"
"Naked?!"
He gave a soft laugh.
"What's wrong with that? There's no one here except for the two of us", Eric explained.
"I am here! You should wear something-"
"You're a nurse. You saw a lot of naked guys already".
"That's different! Those are my patients".
"Open your eyes, Nicolaa".
"No! Cover yourself first!"
"I'm your husband".
"No!"
He sighed, resigned.
"Okay, okay".
Then I heard him moving.
"Now you can open them".
I did open my eyes so slowly. Peeking first with my right eye. He had a towel wrapped around his lean waist now. He was looking at me with raised left eyebrow, shaking his head.
"What?", I asked.
"Nothing. Come here".
He pointed his index finger at me and gestured for me to go near him.
I frowned. He sighed again and started pulling some rope.
I bit my lower lip. Now he was ignoring me.
Hmm...
After sometime, he was done with his tasks and then he walked towards me. I was startled for he was so close, his body heat was emanating into my senses. There were droplets of water on his skin that I wanted to sip with my lips.
Wait a minute! Where did that thought came from?!
He took something behind me from were I was sitting. It was a fishing hole.
"Damn!", I heard him cursed softly.
"What? What happened?"
"The hooked was ripped off. Guess a big fish favoured my little one".
"You mean... Could it be a shark?!', my eyes went huge with fear.
"Maybe", he shrugged. "Did you eat the breakfast I prepared for you?"
I chewed on my lip and shook my head slowly.
He drew a long sigh.
"Come", he frowned and clasped my hand with his. He walked ahead while pulling me along. He was reprimanding me.
"Next time you see food on that table, it either means they are for you or for me. Got that?'. He stopped and stared back at me. We were on the door leading inside the ship.
I nodded my head fast.
"What's mine is yours now, Nicolaa. Don't forget that", he touched my face and removed a strand of hair away from it and smiled.
Oh God!
He showed me his perfect pearly white teeth and those sexy, delectable lips.
Mmm... my oh my!
This man was irresistible.
