29. Who rocked my life...

Freen.

I woke up more refreshed. I looked around trying to remember where I was. Then I realized I was holding a hand, her hand. Then it all came back to me.

What happened yesterday was all unexpected. The first person who rocked my life was the least person I want to see on this vacation... That's what I thought... but I was wrong.

Last night was weird. I wanted to stay away from her, forget her if possible, yet here she is on a vacation with me. I almost gave in last night, yet I fought to control it the last minute. That frustrates me more.

The person who was the cause of my frustration, was the same person to calm me down. I never thought I'd need her comfort, her hug.

Last night was a revelation. That I'm not just attracted to her physically but also emotionally. "I'll always be here for you, no matter what." Those words impacted me so hard.

I slowly moved her hand to move my body so I could lay on my back. I was still holding her hand when she moved. I went stiff as I heard her murmur "don't..." Then while still holding my hand, she placed her hand with mine on top of my tummy then moved her body closer to me. She then placed her head on my shoulder and hugged me tighter.

Shit. She might hear how my heart's getting wild right now. I felt goosebumps all over my body as she move closer and hugged me tight.

She made me feel things that I've never had with anyone. Despite feeling weird with these feelings, it made me feel good.

"Your heart beats so fast. I hope I'm the reason for that."

I went stiff again as she moved her head and look at me. Oh shit. she's so close.

Seeing her this close... makes me feel warm. She's so damn beautiful. Her face light up as she look at me.

"Good Morning Freen." She said smiling.

"G-good morning." Shit. Why do I need to stutter.

She smiled as she look at me. I then remember we just woke up. I quickly cover my mouth.

Her expression change into confusion.

"Why are you covering your mouth?"

"You might faint on my morning breath."

She then pull down my hand.

"it's not. Even if it is, I don't care." She then gave my lips a peck.

That surprised me. I'm not used to this. I don't even let anyone sleep with me, I ask them to leave once we're done doing the deed. I never woke up with anyone, except her.

She then hugged me tight again. "What do you want for breakfast?"

No one even ask me that too.

She shook me a little. "Hey, it's too early to be in deep thoughts."

"Uhm. Sorry. Uhm... They have a breakfast buffet in the hotel."

"Oh that's great!" She then sit up and stood from the bed. She went to my side and offered her hand. "Let's freshen up and then eat breakfast."

This is really weird. I'm not used to this. Her face looking confused again then she lowered her hand. Her eyes now looking sad.

"You don't want to go with me, right?"

I panicked and quickly took her hand before she turn away.

"No... It's not that... I'm... I'm just not used to this..."

Her eyes changed again. "You do want to go with me then?"

I gulped. I already allowed myself to be close to her...to let her see my vulnerable side...

"Yes." I then stood still holding her hand. "You go freshen up first. I'll prepare our clothes."

I then let go of her hand and went through my luggage.

"You don't have much right? You could use some of mine."

She smiled, went to me, hugged me and kissed me on the cheek. "Thanks."

I was too startled that I went stiff. She looked at me then laughed before going to the bathroom.

Damn, Freen. Stop that! I then thought, how would I? Should I get used to it then? I shook my head and just prepare the clothes.

I just finished speaking to the receptionist when she emerged from the bathroom.

"We still have time. The buffet ends in..." I stopped as I look at her.
She was came from the bathroom drying her hair with a towel and wearing just a bathrobe.

I quickly looked away.

"Here's your clothes." I pointed it to her, then took my clothes and hurriedly went in the bathroom.

Gosh, she blew my mind. I said to myself as I leaned at the door. Her bathrobe was off centered. Most of her shoulders and the upper left side of her chest were shown.

My mind went on what happened last night where I have seen her chest and even touched it as well. I remembered how hot we both felt that time. I'm even feeling warmer as I think of it. I shook my head as if it can shake the memories off. I then took my clothes off and went into the shower.

At the breakfast...

We were both eating and almost done with our breakfast. We ate in silence but it's not awkward nor uncomfortable.

"I've booked us some activities for today." I did that to take my mind off things or to keep us busy instead of trying hard to control ourselves from ripping each other's clothes off.

"What activities?" She asked after drinking the remains of her juice.

"You'll see."

We went back to our room to get ready. We changed so that we have our swim wear beneath our clothes. We also put sunscreen on our bodies before going out. I did mine inside the bathroom so I couldn't see her putting some on her body. I brought a waterproof bag where we put our things.

We walked towards the beach. I looked at her walking while her eyes were closed.

"Hmm... The beach smell so good." She said. I smiled as I watch her.

"The view looks so good too." When she opened her eyes and met mine, I quickly look away and walked.

"I wonder which view..." I heard her asked that I pretended not to hear as I walked ahead of her.
