Cancun. The water glistened an azure blue while waves rolled up into the sugar-colored sand. The salty air around us bringing a sense of familiarity since the only thing that had remained the same was the ocean. The sky above was painted a pastel blue with fluffy white clouds occasionally floating around.

The house was lonely on this island that seemed to be private. I had been lacking social interaction and wasn't going to lie when I felt a slight disappointment. I knew why isolation was necessary for my situation but that didn't stop me from feeling disappointed about the whole thing. The only social interaction I was going to have was with Harry which was minimal since he was a man of few words.

The island went by the name of Isla Blanca, it was separate from Cancun and a ferry was needed to travel here. It felt nice to feel the sea breeze in my hair while I leaned up against the railing of the boat. Sunglasses shade over my eyes and were a demand of Harry's that I wear them since we were going to be around others when on the ferry. My hair whipped around in the breeze most likely tangling it into knots I would have to tend to later tonight before I went to bed.

Turning my head to the left to see Harry with his sunglasses hiding his green eyes, he typed away on his phone. I wondered who he was always in contact with and what things he discussed without my knowledge. Even with his sunglasses shading over his eyes I could still see the intensity in his face that never went away. His hair flowed in the sea breeze as he went unaware of how beautiful he really looked.

Harry was truly captivating to look at and that was my weakness. His eyes were a beautiful jade coloring while his curly locks framed his face perfectly. His jawline sharp like the rest of his body, he was muscular which caused his tattoos to stand out when he flexed. How could someone be so beautiful from the outside but the complete opposite on the inside?

The ferry ride wasn't long which despite being tired from the plane, I wished it was longer. I loved being on top of the water and feeling the breeze dance through my hair and graze my skin lightly. I liked hearing the voices of others that pointed out the beautiful things around them. Swinging my bag over my shoulder I looked towards Harry to see him doing the same.

"This is us." He spoke gesturing for me to follow him. He walked past all kinds of people, some tourists, and others residence. My eyes taking in the last of the people before I followed behind Harry, I didn't know the next time I would see other people excluding Harry.

Taking in a sigh my feet sunk into the ground as soon as my shoes came into contact with the white glittering sand. Rotating back to face the ferry that was pulling away I watched it fade into view while he left us behind. Switching back I noticed Harry had kept up a quicker pace noticing he was already unlocking the front door to the estate. It was weird being the only house on this island, it gave me a sense of seclusion.

Picking my pace back up and making my way towards the expensive looking estate I reached the driveway where the sand had disappeared from under my feet leaving me with a more stable surface. Searching around and taking in the luxury space I shut the white door.

"Wow," I said audibly hearing an echo ring throughout the house that held only two bodies. I watched as Harry lifted the white sheets from the furniture, making the space more livable. Readjusting the wrap of my bag I walked up the stairs to see three bedrooms to choose from. Each one looking close to identical except the ranging in sizes.

I already knew Harry would take the master bedroom where ever that was in the house, so that left three bedrooms that were free for me to pick from. Taking the room closest to the staircase I threw my bag on the bed feeling the weight on my shoulder lift. Taking a seat on the edge of the bed I took in the color scheming of the room and how it matches the rest of the house. Everything followed a white and gold color scheme from the white carpets and flooring to the porcelain painted walls. Accents of gold paying on the furniture like the gold bed frame and door knobs. It gave me an old money type vibe.
