episode 15: find him

The newly-applied sunblock made her legs seem shinier, making it attract more heads. She could feel being stuck under the gazes of men, yet she doesn't mind. This is a sign she's doing her tasks great, which made her put a small smile on her face. She was busy reading the news, another headline about politics. She sighed, finding everything written boring.

All these people are just men with power who use their capacities to manipulate society's minds for their own good. That's what she thinks.

She decided to watch the tossing waves on the sea, trying to think about something interesting.

She thought about the moments from last night, how Harry's words warmed her heart and touched her deeply. She couldn't help but remember about the kiss they had. It was full of passion and longing. It was perhaps their first too, if you count in soberness.

She touched her lips, trying to feel Harry's kiss again as if he were there. A blush then creeped in her cheeks as she grinned like a schoolgirl.

"My dear, what's going in your mind?" Albert interrupted her moment of reminiscing, making her widen her eyes. She felt a bit embarassed.. He probably thought she was grinning for no reason, which makes her seem awkward. But it's better for him not to know why, obviously.

"Just the news." She came up with a lie and decided to fold her newspaper and place it on the table beside her. She closed her eyes as she put her hands on her stomach as she relaxed on the mat. She could feel her feet being covered in the mushy sand.

Albert watched her, playing with the wet locks of her hair. He leaned in to kiss her cheeks, tracing the collarbones on her chest. Taylor feigned a smile, trying to seem amused.

A couple of people passing by gave them weird glances, probably because of their age difference. She knows they're probably calling her a slut in silence, or probably seeing her as another woman fucking an old man for his goods, which she's actually doing. So she has no right to be mad.

Albert felt uncomfortable by their gazes, as he saw them laughing at his figure. He tried his best not to show his anger, even though he's experienced this a lot already. Sometimes he wishes all his gray hair would go away, he's too lazy to visit a salon; despite being so rich.

"Let's go back to the hotel room, alright? It's going dark." He whispered in her ear making her open her closed lids. Taylor shifted her head to return a gaze, nodding in response.

She stretched her arms upwards as she let out a moan of relief, the brief swim did calm her mind a lot. But what eased the thoughts in her mind the most were Harry. Just thinking of him makes a smile creep in her face.

She hurriedly put on a robe to cover her exposed body, wrapping her arms around her figure as she shivered slightly from a blow of the cool sea breeze.

The walk to the elevator was just short, since it wasn't that far away. She can feel his arms snaking around her stomach as they went inside their rooms. His hot breath fanning her soft neck, she hummed in response.

He slowly traced her shoulders as he brushed the palms of his hands on her arms.

He hovered his lips above hers before touching hers with his own to kiss. He pulled away after a few moments as he cleared his throat.

"I'll go take a shower." He whispered to her ears before taking steps towards the restroom. Taylor stayed where she was until she heard the door locked. She didn't know she was holding her breath after she let out a long exhale.

She decided to go to the terrace after changing her outfit into something casual. She decided to watch the beautiful view outside to waste some time. The sound of the blowing wind calmed her as she sat on the chair. The sound of water sprinkling from the restroom made him think about Albert again.
