That's the way I love you

32

As the night approached, Becky and Freen prepared to settle down in their suite. Becky couldn't help but feel a bit nervous about sharing a bed with Freen, even though they were just friends now. She didn't want things to feel awkward or uncomfortable between them.

"I'll just sleep on the couch, it's fine," I insisted, trying to brush off the awkwardness.

But Freen wouldn't hear of it. She shook her head with a smile. "No way, Becky. You're the guest, and this is your trip. I insist you take the bed. I'll be perfectly fine on the couch."

I protested again, but Freen was determined to be chivalrous. "It's no big deal," she assured me. "I don't mind at all."

I hesitated for a moment, but then I relented. "Okay, fine," I said with a shy smile. "But are you sure you'll be comfortable on the couch?"

Freen shook her head, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Nah, it's okay. I can take the couch," she said with a wink. "Or... unless you want me to bring you onto the bed while you're sleeping on the couch. I can do that too," she teased.

I blushed at her words and looked away, feeling flustered by her playful teasing. It was hard to deny the attraction and chemistry between us, but I also wanted to take things slow and not rush into anything.

As the night wore on, we both got ready for bed. I climbed under the covers and tried to get comfortable, but my mind was still racing with thoughts about the day and the complicated feelings I had for Freen.

Freen settled onto the couch, and I couldn't help but feel guilty for making her sleep there. "Are you sure you're okay?" I asked, my voice filled with concern.

She smiled warmly at me. "I'm fine, Becky," she reassured me. "Don't worry about me. Just get some rest."

I nodded, still feeling uneasy about the situation. "Okay, if you say so," I said quietly.

As I lay in bed, I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. Part of me was grateful for Freen's understanding and willingness to give me space, but another part of me couldn't deny the growing attraction and affection I felt for her.

First day on Koh Samui

As they continued to enjoy their trip on Koh Samui, Noey, Irin, Becky, and Freen couldn't help but feel a sense of joy and excitement as they explored the beautiful island together. They spent their days soaking up the sun, trying out different water sports, and building unforgettable memories.

The group decided to try jet skiing, and the adrenaline rush from riding the waves brought out their adventurous spirits. They laughed and cheered as they raced each other, splashing through the water and feeling the wind in their hair.

After jet skiing, they decided to take a relaxing swim in the crystal-clear waters of the beach. Freen and Becky found themselves swimming side by side, sharing playful splashes and laughter. As they waded in the water, Freen couldn't help but admire Becky's carefree and joyful spirit.

As they reached a restaurant for lunch, Becky and Irin were still buzzing with excitement from their adventure-seeking spirits. They suggested going shark diving, wondering if it was available on Koh Samui.

Freen and Noey exchanged concerned glances. "Shark diving? Are you sure that's safe?" Noey asked, feeling uneasy about the idea.

"It's an adrenaline-pumping experience, but it might be too dangerous," Freen added, voicing her worries.

Irin shrugged, undeterred. "Come on, it'll be thrilling! And we'll have professional guides to ensure our safety," she said persuasively.

Becky's eyes lit up with enthusiasm, supporting Irin's idea. "Yeah, it'll be an adventure of a lifetime! Let's go for it," she chimed in.

Freen and Noey knew it was no use arguing with Becky and Irin when they were both so excited about an idea. "Alright, if you both really want to do it, then we'll support you," Freen conceded.

"Fine, but you better promise to stay safe," Noey said, still sounding a bit worried.

Becky and Irin exchanged triumphant glances, thrilled that they had convinced their friends to join them in this daring endeavor.

However, their plans were thwarted when the tour guide informed them that shark diving was not available on Koh Samui. Freen and Noey breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that they wouldn't have to face their fears.

Becky and Irin were momentarily disappointed, but they quickly brushed it off and decided to explore other exciting activities the island had to offer.

Freen POV

As the trip continued, I felt a mix of emotions inside me. On one hand, I was thrilled that Becky seemed to be more at ease with me and that our bond was slowly rekindling. It was evident that this trip was helping us reconnect and rebuild the trust that had been shaken by my confession.

Becky's carefree and cheerful demeanor made my heart skip a beat. It was so good to see her like this, enjoying the trip and not burdened by any worries. I wanted to be a part of that happiness, to be the reason for her smiles and laughter.

But at the same time, the unspoken tension between us was still there. We exchanged meaningful glances that seemed to carry a world of emotions, yet we both hesitated to bring them out into the open. I knew that Becky needed time and space to process everything, and I respected that.

When we were getting ready to board the boat for an island tour, I instinctively reached out to offer my hand to Becky as we descended the stairs. But she hesitated and pulled her hand away, looking unsure. My heart sank a little, as I feared I had crossed a boundary.

Quickly, I pretended to be unfazed and tried to act normal, brushing off the moment with a smile. "It's okay, you can go ahead," I said, gesturing for her to proceed.

Becky nodded and went down the stairs on her own, but I couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed. I wanted to be there for her, to support and protect her, but I also knew that I had to give her the space she needed.

Throughout the rest of the day, I made sure to be by Becky's side as her friend, to share in the joy of exploring the beautiful islands and creating memories together. I tried to be patient, reminding myself that healing takes time and that I had to let Becky set the pace.
