FORGIVELESS - RIO Good Girls X READER

IX - BETTER WATCH HOW YOU THINK OUT LOUD, IF IT'S 'BOUT ME THOUGH 📜

Sitting relaxed Rio watches the sun cast golden hues on you as it prepares to set. The ocean sprays along the boat as dolphins lead the charge ahead of the boat ushering you back to the resort. The day had been incredible. The two of you had shared several moments of firsts. Your connection could not be denied. It was way too strong so much so that you felt like you were in sync. Turning around you find Rio watching as you hold over the edge of the boat to watch the dolphins. Your eyes find each other and he nods giving you an encouraging smile. He admired how much you enjoyed every bit of effort he put into the trip. It makes him want to do even more to keep a smile on your face. He made a mental note to tip the member of the hotel staff well for recommending the set of excursions that he had. Rio had asked what were the bestsellers for couples and women and then booked accordingly. The day started ziplining which was rough considering the night's festivities but after a nap during the ride to swim with dolphins you were ready for the day. He'd been around you long enough to detect any personality defects, and found none. Building a business meant great people management skills. He couldn't think of any sensible reason for James' cheating. Instead, he understood why James was being such an asshole about letting you go. Smiling Rio takes a video of you looking at the dolphins happily. Wearing a cheeky bikini bottom and short sarong, the video would only be for him but he would keep the memory nonetheless.

"Rio, come see!" you call him over. He obliges despite not giving a single fuck about the dolphins, fish and everything else exciting you at the moment. He smiles mostly at your excitement. "It's so gorgeous, thank you for this" you smile looking up at him.

"You're welcome" Rio nods.

You sit enjoying the sunset as the boat takes a scenic way to the doc by the resort. Rio settles feeling you next to him, his mind is on what will happen when you return home. There were a couple of properties he was managing, he would schedule some showings and do his best to respect your need for space if that's what you needed. Only he'd already started shifting his schedule to be around most nights, he would have to find someone to keep eyes on James too just in case the entitled fuck decided to do anything sneaky.

"Did you have fun?" you ask, interrupting Rio's thoughts. He smiles nodding, he did but not for the same reasons as you.

Rio nods, "I enjoyed myself."

"I don't think you did" You respond both amused and appreciative that he'd taken the time to make today all about you and your enjoyment.

"I enjoyed seeing you enjoy yourself. I like making money and taking care of my people." Rio says, a simple man. Looking him over you realise he'd revealed no vices during the entire trip. He didn't drink too much and there were no frequent smoke breaks. His eyes never lingered on the assortment of scantily clad women scattered around the resort. No flirting, or whispering on the phone and he seemed too proud to lie. He'd also managed to make you feel considered every step of the way.

"Well I had an incredible time, I'm really really really happy you invited me out here and made it so special." you smile smothering him with quick kisses in your giddiness.

"I know," Rio nods, pecking your forehead.

Getting off the boat you walk hand in hand with him through the resort and towards your room. You pass by a group of his family eating and the smirk on Nick's face is unsettling. Marisol looks apologetic but it's Tia's eyes that catch yours. She stands coming over and pulling both you and Rio away.

"Rio, can I talk to Y/N quickly?" she asks.

"No" Rio interjects holding your hand tighter. "What is it?" He asks.

"Come here sweetie" Marisol says standing and reaching for you only for Rio to grab your wrist.

"She ain't going nowhere, what the fuck is up?" Rio snaps getting upset.
