Waves Of Love(GL)

Chapter 2

Akari's POV

📍EL NIDO PALAWAN, PHILIPPINES

                         "First Encounter"

You can enjoy the calming atmosphere of a beach day and all it has to offer. Feel the soft sand between your toes and the warm sun on your skin as you take in the endless blue of the sea. Listen to the peaceful sound of waves rolling onto shore, watch as birds soar above. Take a stroll along the coast or relax with loved ones on a blanket — no matter what you choose to do, each moment is sure to be filled with wonder and beauty. Let go of all worries and let yourself be surrounded by nature’s timeless serenity.

And mostly..

I am finally free, free to be who I wanted to be - Free to be a real Me.

I woke up early and I'm still sleepy when I got up, so I immediately took a shower to wake up my senses before leaving the rest house.

***

I am now in a town not far from the resort, still looking for land to buy and sad to say I haven't seen anything yet.

Hoping and praying that I will find and buy as soon as possible for the business I will build.

I'm just waiting for a cab, I'll go to the resort to rest and relax for a while.

After almost fifteen minutes of waiting..

"To the resort near here, Mister" I said as I hop inside the cab.

"Pardon me" Suddenly a woman's cold voice.

I was surprised to see a woman.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't looking and I thought you were a men because most of the drivers were men" I explained awkwardly. This is embarrassing.

She looked at me in disbelief without saying anything, but wow I didn't expect the driver to be this beautiful.

"Sorry, l-let's go Miss" I shyly said as I look away.

She started driving. Out of all the cab drivers I've encountered she's the only one who's not talkative, is that because she's a woman? she's expressionless and has a cold presence.

I've been here for more than a week and I've seen the beauty of this place several times but I'm still not tired of being impressed, every place we passed is amusing.

She caught me being in awe as I caught her stealing a glance on me and quickly looked away, what's with her? this is awkward.

Finally after twenty minutes, we're here.

"How much?" I took my wallet.

"No, you don't have to" She said without looking at me.

"Huh? what do you mean?" I asked curiously.

"You don't have to pay me" She said lazily.

"That's not right, just accept this" I handed her money but she didn't accept it.

"Keep that, and Miss I'm not a cab driver you just mistook me. I just stopped to check something and I didn't notice you were there at first" I was surprised what she said.

OMG!

"I'm really sorryyy, I didn't know" I bowed my head.

AAAAAAA This is so embarrassing!

"It's okay I don't mind, I didn't bother to tell you since I was going here too" She said and got out of the car.

"Wait!" I followed her "since you don't want me to pay you, maybe there's other way so tell me" She stopped walking and faced me.

"I said you don't have to, I don't mind okay? small thing" There's a hint of annoyance in her voice. How grumpy.

"Is that so, thank you!" I bowed
So embarrassing!

"You're welcome, next time don't just get into the car without asking first" She said ruggedly before leaving me.

What a shame Akari!

I just hit my forehead out of too much embarrassment.
