The Night Watchman

Meeting Jed

October's P.O.V

I laid in my bed after I woke up. A smile on my face.

That night manager. That man. He was so handsome, kind, and charming. I couldn't help but think what kind of life we could have together.

NO! I cant think about this stuff.

He wont ever find me attractive. Or like me the way I'm starting to like him. He's the only person who actually sat and listened to my feelings without making me feel like crap for even thinking of feeling the way I feel.

But I knew he wouldn't like me that way. Or feel the way I feel. Not with Jed coming.  The beautiful Jed. Perfect Jed.

Even my crushes lusted for her. SO I had no chances.

Plus my father will be picking put my future husband. And he will most likely not love me, and I wont love him.

I heard a knock on the door. I sighed and got up. I walked up to the door. I opened and saw Liam. My heart went fluttering. He looked so ruggedly handsome.

He had on tan kakis and a blue button down short sleeve. And sandals. So causal yet so classy at the same time.

He smiled at me. "I've come to take you to breakfast with your father." He said. I nodded. "Um let me get dressed." I said. He nodded. "Of course." He turned around and as I closed the door I snuck a peak of his nicely shaped arse.

I leaned against the door and sighed.

I really like this guy and I hardly know him. This is crazy! There is no such thing as Love at First Sight. Right?

But what is this feeling that I am feeling? I don't know if I like this feeling or not. With the knowledge that once Jed arrives, he wont notice me anymore.

I know I shouldn't hold anything against her. It's not her fault she was born beautiful. But it is he fault she uses it against all the males she comes across.

I was a Christian and I have made my little brother one as well.

I know its a sin to hate others, To feel envy, or Jealousy.

But its hard, when you cant even get even a crush with her around. She is a few years older then me. And yet she's with my dad.

Its sad.

I put on a bikini and a short floral dress that I always ware over my swimsuit.

I wanted to impress Liam so I actually did my hair and make up, I Quickly did my nails and slipped on the sandals my dad got me for my birthday last year.

The key necklace I have always worn was partnered with the bracelet my best friend Arianna gave me before I left for here.

"Well this is  as good as its going to get." I sighed, and walked out.

Liam's POV

I couldn't help but smirk at the fact that I secretly caught her checking me out.

So I'm approved by the young Romo? I find that pleasing. Even though I knew nothing can come out of liking this girl. No woman.

I waited as she got dressed. I couldn't help but wonder what she looked like under those clothes of hers.

I shook my head. I cant be thinking about that.

Her father killed my beloved Lila. I cant be falling for his daughter. Or develop any romantic feelings for her.

The door opened and I turned around and froze.

She was so beautiful.

She blushed shyly and looked away. "I guess we should get going?" She asked shyly. I nodded, and held out an arm for her to take. She turned even redder as she took my arm.

I lead her to where her father, and brother was, and I noticed her stiffen. I looked and a tall blonde woman was drapped over her father's arm.

"Ah October sweety. You finally decided to join the land of the living?" Her father teased. October freed herself from my arm and walked to the table.

As a gentleman, I pulled out her seat, and pushed it in for her once she sat down. She smiled brightly up at me and thanked me.

I noticed the blonde smirk and look me up and down. So this is Jed.

I saw what men saw in her. She was a beautiful woman. But...

I looked at October. She was even more beautiful. If I was able to I knew I'd try to be with her. But with everything I cant.

"We are all going to go for a boat ride after breakfast." Richard said sipping his coffee. October nodded silently eating her food.

"Then you and I can go shopping October. Spend some girl time together. How does that sound?" Jed asked. October looked up and nodded, smiling slightly. "Yeah. Um sure sounds fine." She said. But I could tell she didn't really want to.

They had me go on the boat ride with them to show them the best spots. I looked back at October and she was looking out at the water headbuds in her ears. Blocking out the world.

Once we got close to returning to the deck once more, Jed had us stop and she pealed off her clothes to reveal her bikini. she then threw a wink at Richard, and a look at me before diving into the water.

"The water is fantastic. October why don't you join me I saw that bikini under your dress." Jed called. Richard walked to October, and yanked out a bud.

"Why don't you go swimming with Jed." Richard basically ordered.

She sighed. "Don't worry miss. I think I'll join you as well." I said. She smiled a little bit, and nodded standing.

She shyly took her sandals off and pulled her dress off.

I couldn't help but stare at her body. I knew she'd look good.

She wasn't a busty woman, something I usually look for in a woman, but I didn't mind that she wasn't well embowed in the chest area.

She jumped in and swam around.

I slipped off my pants to show my swim shorts, then took my shoes off then my shirt. Alex got his off and asked me to throw him into the water.

After getting permission, I threw the giggling child into the water.  Then went in myself.

 We all but Richard was swimming.

I could feel Jed rub against me a few times. More then necessary to be an accident.

Then we all went back to the hotel where the girls left.
