“Is it just me or does that guy seems to be in a good mood?”
Bumping Elton, Luther was holding a plate for his breakfast. In the very place, a buffet was served. All of their friends are there. But the people that Lea knows are not that much.
“Shut up, I still have a shiver running up my spine. He is really weird… really”
There was a frown on Luther’s face as he saw how weird Elton is acting. It is as if he saw the door that would lead to the end of the world.
“You okay bro?”
Shaking his head, he laugh at himself and says.
“I also wonder…”
Sitting on the same chair as Lea, Sylphia pout her lips as she bend slightly to see Lea’s gaze.
“How was the beach?”
“It is nice, it looks beautiful”
Soon as she heard the response of her friend, a small smile can’t help but escape on her lips.
“I am really sorry for last time. I didn’t know luther would do that. if only I know then I wouldn’t drag you in that prank”
Shaking her head, lea smiled. A smile that Sylphia loved so much.
That very smile that she can’t help but wonder if it is the breathe of the angel that makes her be like that or what.
‘I like the sea but just as I thought, I like lea the best’
“What are you thinking of? You seems to be lost in your thoughts”
Giggling, sylphia smiled.
“Nothing… just something nicer than the sea”
But Lea doesn’t know what she meant by those words.
“You should be careful in what you eat”
A voice then speaks as the owner of that said voice sits beside Lea. The breeze of the air isn’t that warm nor cold. Just the right temperature for a beach outing.
“Hey, what are you all talking about? Mind me joining you?”
Aiya then puts her plate in front of Lea.
‘I don’t like being surrounded by people but, somehow… it is fine for me if it was them’
Lea smiled and soon the group grows bigger. Elton and Luther joined them as they all sat beside their lovers.
“Ah, right Lea. You don’t have a swimsuit with you right?”
Sylphia then mumbles as she much on her pasta.
“Yeah, I really didn’t prepare for this…”
“It’s fine, you can use mine if you like. Our body measurements are a bit similar. You can try some swimsuits i brought with m”"
Rolling her eyes at Aiya’s statement, Sylphia can’t help but feel defeated. Indeed, compared to Aiya, her body isn’t really similar to Lea’s. it would be bad if lea would wear something that doesn’t fit right with her body.
“Thanks Aiya”
“Any time”
It was that time when Lea notices how certain foods are out of her reach. Oysters, lobsters, and shrimps. All of them are pushed away by none other than, Aiden.
Even the other’s noticed what he did. But instead of being mad, Lea can’t help but be reminded of that time. That very time where she still doesn’t know that she have allergy on such foods.
“Over the zone light protection…”
Luther mumbled as he bitterly munch on his lobster meat. Sylphia is still mad at him. one of the reason why he was pushed alone, a bit far from where Sylphia was.
‘I just want to surprise her… but… hah…’
Shaking his head, he was surprised to see a shrimp on his plate.
“I don’t like it, you eat that”
Sylphia mumbled not looking at him. but such simple gesture made him smile to his ears.
‘I guess I am starting to like shrimps more’
And on the corner of her eyes, sylphia saw a smile on his lips. Enough to make her smile a bit while looking at Lea.
“Ah, right. I wanna ask who wants to try jet ski? I rented some since the others are not available. Someone else already rented them… that is why”
Luther stated as he look at the group.
“Jet ski?”
“Hmm, that sounds nice”
“Count me in!”
“How about you Aiden? Lea?”
His eyes then fall on the two as they are the only one who didn’t give response.
“I am good. I don’t really know how to ride one… sorry”
Aiden cant help but look at her. He wants to say something but can’t find the right words to use. A small smile then curve on Luther’s lips. Hiding it on his closed smiling eyes, he clap his hands.
“Alright then one for my love, one for me, one for Elton and Aiya and lastly one of Aiden and Lea”
“Wait I-“ Lea then speaks but was surprised when Aiden stated. “I am quite good in riding a jet ski. I can teach you if you want to”
Saying such words, Lea find it hard to say that she doesn’t like to. It wasn’t so Aiden to speak like that. he isn’t someone who would do a favor just to anyone. And they are not really that close to begin with.
Using the same vehicle as jet ski while in the beach, Lea thinks that it isn’t suited for the two of them at all.
But for some reason, she cant find the courage to turn down his offer.
“I’ll be in your care then”
…
Looking at her own reflection, Lea was wearing the swimsuit that Aiya gave her. But with her showing much skin, she can’t help but feel embarrassed.
“I should cover it with a thin dress or anything…”
Shaking her head, even though she is now a known model overseas, she still can’t find the part of her that wants to show much skin. After all, as much as possible, she would just avoid showing much.
‘I don’t know if it was because of that time I was cage wearing such thin clothes that I had a bit of fear in that thing…but even so, wearing this isn’t as bad as it seems’
She smile looking at herself wearing a beach dress to cover her swimwear.
But even if she was quite pleased with what she did, Aiya and Sylphia was disappointed to see her wear that.
“Why did you cover it? I know it looks good on you~”
Slightly holding her eyes, she didn’t had the chance to answer as their attention was called by luther. Shouting so loud that the jet ski are all ready to use.
“Are you alright?”
It was that familiar voce she heard. And just as she though, indeed it was Aiden.
“I just got something in my eye”
Brushing her eyes, she know that there may be a small dust that get inside her eyes. It hurts a bit and is irritating.
“Don’t rub it so much or else it would just sting”
“But”
His hands then hold her, stopping her from rubbing her eyes. With him being so close, Lea can’t help but be surprised. But what surprised her the most is when Aiden gently blow her eyes to help her.
‘Aiden is… so close’
