Hugs and Kisses | Armin x Annie

Chapter 24 - Vacation

Annie's Point of View

We're currently in the Bahamas taking a quick break from work. Armin's had it rough since he became co-CEO so I might want to treat him to a trip here. Of course, Ymir and Historia had to come with us.

Our friend who owns a resort here gladly welcomed us as we stepped out of the boat and touched the white sand.

"Annie! Ymir! Glad you're here!" Our friend Sasha greeted us. Her husband Niccolo was standing right beside her and gave us a smile.

Sasha and Niccolo looked at Armin. They don't know him yet. It's been a long time since we've seen each other. The last time they saw me was when I broke up with Bertholdt.

"This is Armin. My boyfriend." I introduced Armin to them as Armin bowed and smiled.

"Well...Aren't we into blondes." The three of us laughed. We were indeed in a relationship with blondes.

Sasha and Niccolo guided us to our suite and told us to rest for a while.

Armin was unpacking our belongings as I gave instructions to Pieck through the phone. Ever since my last conversation with Pieck, she became a little tolerable for me. She was nicer.

As I finished talking to Pieck, I looked around our suite. It was filled with gold and we looked like royalties.

I opened our balcony and there was a huge jacuzzi area in it.

"Damn. Sasha and Niccolo has it big." I mumbled as I stare at the suite's interior.

Armin suddenly hugged me from behind and kissed my cheeks. He rested his chin on my shoulders as we looked at the clear sky.

"Thank you so much, Annie." I didn't reply and just let him hug me. We stayed silent as we just listened to the waves and observed other people.

He then lifted me up with ease and laid me on the bed. "Let's take a nap. Riding the plane was exhausting."

I nodded as I laid my head on his chest before snoozing off.

I woke up from the loud knocking at the door. I was about to sit up when Armin let me lie down in bed. He stood up instead and went to go open the door.

The door was still half way opened but Ymir barged in and jumped on me.

"Hey!" She laid on top of me and I saw Historia come in too.

"Come on you need to change we're about to go meet with Sasha and Niccolo!" I rolled over to get her off on top of me as I hugged a pillow, keeping my eyes closed.

"Hey! This bitch! If you're not waking up I won't let you have sex for the whole month!" I quickly sat up and rested my elbows on her shoulders.

"Goodness. I won't want that to happen especially when we're in the Bahamas." I quickly stood up and kissed Armin's cheeks before going into the bathroom to change.

I was wearing a two piece black bikini set and a see through robe. I went out of the bathroom and saw Ymir and Historia weren't there.

"They couldn't wait anymore so they just told us to follow." as he was talking, he wasn't making eye contact with me. Instead, he looked at me up and down and bit his lip.

I sat on his lap and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"You look wonderful. As always." He whispered before giving me a kiss on my forehead.

We both got out of our suite and headed outside. The sun was already setting and the view was amazing. Not too far away, I saw Ymir and the others drinking some alcoholic beverages.

We went to them and sat down. "A Sunset Rum and some Vermouth please." The waitress nodded and took my orders. I ordered for Armin as well and made sure the drink had low alcohol content.

"So...When did you two meet?" Sasha asked me.

"Three words. Interviewee. Office. Make out." Ymir replied making everyone laugh. We really are this comfortable with each other since Sasha, Ymir, and I would always have a talk about our private sex lives.

"So I heard you've been promoted co-CEO, Armin. Let's hang out and talk about business sometimes." Niccolo gave Armin a pat in the back and Armin smiled. They both talked to each other since they were the only males here.

"I didn't expect to meet you all here." I suddenly cringed as I heard that voice. We all turned to look at him. It was Bertholdt and Reiner.

Reiner sat down at the edge while Bertholdt sat down beside me. I was now in between him and Armin.

Oh what are the odds of meeting your ex and his friend in the Bahamas while you're with your boyfriend and best friends.

I saw how Armin shifted on his seat as if he was uncomfortable with the sudden change of mood.

"Your drink, Ma'am." the waiter came in and placed the drinks on the table.

"Well...You both moved on so let's shake off this cold mood between us and let's have some fun!" Sasha shouted.

She's right. I have no feelings for this guy anymore.

We all drank and talked to each other. Although I kept my distance from Bertholdt.

I felt a sudden urge to pee so I went to the bathroom. As I got out I saw Bertholdt standing next to the door.

"Are you out of your mind?Making your assistant as co-CEO?Do you want to go bankrupt?" Bertholdt laughed as he rested his back on the wall.

"All I know is the company's income raised by 365 percent more than when you were with me."

He just smirked as he looked at me dead in the eye.

"Are you sure you're not in love with me anymore? You really loved hopping on my dick didn't you? You used to cry when I put it in."

"I know right! I was such a great actress back then." I slapped his arm and laughed to mock him. "I fucked countless of guys and I had to pretend to be pleasured every single time! But right now I don't have to act anymore. I cum for real. Because I'm with a real man now." I glared at him and was about to go back when he held my wrist tightly.

"He just wants you for the money, Annie."

"You're one to talk." I wasn't joking with him anymore. I was dead serious.

"Everyone just wants you for your money. The employees you fucked also did that just for money. I even dated you just for money, too."

Well, that was new.

But it didn't have any effect on me. This is where I knew I had already moved on from him. That I had no feelings attached anymore.

"Let go." but instead of letting go he just gripped on me tighter. It was beginning to hurt.

"I said let g--"

I felt his hand lose grip and I saw Armin holding Bertholdt's arm.

"What the fuck?" Bertholdt tried to escape from Armin's grip but he couldn't.

"Touch my girlfriend again and I'll make sure you'll be behind bars." Armin aggressively let go of Bertholdt's hand and snaked his arm around my waist.

"Let's go back to our suite. I already told Ymir and the others." I nodded and we both left Bertholdt standing still.

As we arrived, I laid down in bed and sighed. Armin sat down and stroked my hair, looking at me.

"Did you hear everything?"

He nodded. He then gave me a kiss on my forehead. "He thought he did something." We both laughed out loud. Well, he really did thought he could break our relationship.

"I'll let you slide for now since we weren't in a relationship back then yet. But you'll be punished once you do it again."

I chuckled and wrapped my arms around his neck. We spent several seconds looking at each other before kissing.

"I'd burn all of my money just to be yours, Annie."
