I just wear a simple blue beach dress with a pair of fliptops to match my dress. I head to the table which is already set.
I simply glance at him cooking in the kitchen.
"So.." I started. Afraid what might he answer, I start with the simple question thats been bothering me since I woke up.
"What's your name by the way?" I asked him, while I'm standing in the door of the kitchen. He looks at me and smile before answering..
"I'm Mark Richards by the way, and I guess you really don't know what happened to you so you'll gonna ask me about it, am I right?" he said while placing a platter of pancake, egg and orange juice in the table.
Am I that obvious and easy to read? Is he a mind reader or something?
But then knowing that he's the only one that could answer my questions, i just simply nod at him.
"Come, let's eat first. I'm famished. And I'll tell you everything." He said while gesturing me to sit down in which I simply oblige to do.
After we ate, we walk down the beach which I didnt know that I'm just a few feet away. He tells me everything from the moment he sits beside me on the bus up until he brings me here in his rest house.
"From the moment I sit beside you, I notice some guys were checking you out and planning something bad on you. You were so drunk that time, you don't even realize one of the back passenger were harrasing you."
After he said that, he smiles like remembering something funny that I do.
"By the time you notice I was there, you cling to me like I was your man. You're cute enough though even if you were sober. You keep on telling me your journey and how you wanted to go and spend your days off at the beach, so I decided to bring you here. You even called me honey."
The moment I heard it from him, my cheecks turns red. I don't know what to say. I was so speechless that I couldn't utter a word.
"I..I..I'm sorry bout it. Maybe that time I was thinking about my bestfriend. A girl bestfriend, to clarify that. We always call each other honey when were sober and act like we're lovers. it's so funny though, that some people thought we are lesbians."
I smile after I said that, remembering my days with my bestfriend Anne.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I forget to tel you my name." I said while remembering that he dont know who am I.
"I'm Julie Heathers by the way. I came from New Jersey. And I was just travelling and enjoying my month long off." I said as I offer my hand to shake. He gladly accept it.
"Nice to meet you." He said while looking at me in the eyes.
