"This is how you rake the sand. It needs to be done after every day."
The guy rolled his eyes. "Why? It's just going to get messed up anyway."
I glared at him, really regretting my decision to hire him. "Fine. Don't rake the sand. I'll just take ten percent off your salary."
"Raking it is."
I smiled a little to myself, moving on to the next part of training.
Ever since Ratcliffe has left, the resort's business has been booming. You wouldn't believe the amount of new customers. We had to build two new cabins and hire new help, but so far the new help wasn't being very helpful.
"On breaks, kayaks are allowed, but you can't go on that island over there."
"Why not?"
"Because, it's private property. I wouldn't want you to get in trouble for trespassing." The honest reason was because that was John and I's island. I didn't want anybody else to mess up the memories.
"Ok. Anything else off limits?"
I shrugged, looking around. "Nope. Now get to work on the sand."
He scanned me before going off. "Yes, ma'am."
I rolled my eyes as I watched his eyes linger on my butt, then dart back up to my face and smirk at me.
He was attractive, I wasn't going to lie. A little cocky, which wasn't my type, but I could still see myself being with him.
I simply walked away, fighting the temptation.
I promised myself I wouldn't date anyone until John came back, that just wasn't fair. Sure, he could be off having every girl he laid eyes on drop to his feet, but if he wasn't, I would be waiting, because he didn't deserve to have his heart broken.
Now the question is, when is he coming back?
I haven't heard one word from him for nine months. After he left, he emailed me almost every week. Then the emails started getting more sporadic and now they are nonexistent. Maybe he did forget about me. Maybe I'm waiting for a ghost.
"Poca!" Kobe called from the house. "Someone is here."
I glanced over at the guy taking next to me, and failing. "Can't you help them?"
"I mean, sure, but I don't think Kobe came give me a big kiss like you do."
My heart stopped. I couldn't sworn that it stopped.
I turned around, barely able to process the person standing in front of me.
John.
He pulled out a big grin, one that I missed a lot. "Just gonna stand there?"
My senses finally flooded back into me and I choked out a sob, throwing my arms around him.
To be in his arms again felt like nothing I had ever experienced before. After longing for him for months, he was back.
I gave him what he wanted after all, a big kiss right on his lips, one that had everything in my being.
"Missed me much?" He chuckled, kissing me on the cheek.
"How are you even back? Why are you back? What happened? How was Canada? What-"
"Slow down there," He smiled, pushing a strand of hair behind my ear. Right now, he has never looked happier. "Ratcliffe gave us all a well needed break, but I have to go back in a few months,"
My mood dampened. "Oh."
"But this project is the last one I'm working on." He smiled even brighter. "After that, I'm coming here and I'm going to get a job and go to community college and I'm going to stay with you until you go off to your college and wait until you get back."
I smiled and kissed him again, not really sure what to say.
Everything was perfect.

Hopefully the one shots will be able to hold you over for the next month or so *cringes*. Sorry the wait is so long but all of July I'm booked and have almost no time to write. The Urban Princesses: Tiana won't be out until September 3rd at the very latest, I swear. But it's gonna be a good one! I can feel it! I've got lots of ideas and can't wait to start.
Thanks for loving me,
