Chapter Three - Part One

First of all, i'm sorry for taking too long. Second, i know i said i will make it long, and i intend to keep that promise so this is just part one. I'll edit this after i am done with part two and proceed writing. 

John's POV

"No, ma. It's Saturday. How many times do I have to tell you that I don't work on Saturdays? You never listen to what I say" I said to her while putting some hot coffee from the machine.

"You went last week"

"I just had a little bit of that week's unfinished work, and I told you that like three times already"

"Maybe I'm just getting old"

"Yeah, clearly"

She turned around to give me the death glare.

I nearly chocked on my coffee.

"You know I'm kidding ma. You the sexiest ever." I said walking up to her and giving her a quick hug.

"Eat your breakfast before I whoop your ass"

"Woah, where's the thanks?" She just rolled her eyes.

We were both sitting across from each other having breakfast when the sound of my phone vibrating broke the silence.

"Can you pass me my phone, please?" because it was on her side of the table and I was too lazy to go and get it by myself.

"Who is Mark?" she said handing me the phone.

"Oh, he's just a friend from work, and that's the fifth time I'm telling you that" I said while running up the stairs.

*on the phone with Mark*

"Hey, what's up?"

"Nothing, just having breakfast with mum. Why? What happened?"

"Want to go picnic at the beach with me and my sister? I was supposed to take Julia but she cancelled last minute"

"You and your Sister? Really? Won't that be awkward?"

"Don't worry. She's taking my two year old niece with her husband and I'll get bored watching them play. C'mon it'll be fun."

"I don't know ... " I said furrowing my brows.

"Plllleeaaasseeee"

"ugh, fine."

"ah, thank you. I'll pick you up in half an hour, or do you take like two hours to get ready?"

"Jeez. I'm not a woman and we're not going to a grand ceremony. It's just the beach, Mark. I'll get ready and give you a call"

"Alright, alright ... hahah. See you in a bit" "Oh wait, do you know how to swim?"

" ummm, not really. Why?"

"Just asking. This is gonna be fun" He said before ending the call.

Why exactly did I agree to this? Why do you do this to yourself John? You know you're not a people person. Ugh, well, you agreed so you have to get your lazy ass ready and out the door fast. I thought to myself. I know, I do that a lot.

"Ma, I'm going to the beach with Mark" I shouted from upstairs as I grabbed my stuff and put them in the bag.

"Who is Mark?"

"The guy from work who just called. Jeez, do you ever listen to me?"

"Okay, Be careful though"

"You are fast" He said as i was walking towards his bike.

"I know. How do i look?" I was wearing a dark grey t-shirt and some blue shorts with my cap on because in Maldives you can't bear the heat without one.

I looked at Mark who was as mesmerizing as ever. He was wearing a dark green t-shirt and a short with some weird abstract on it which i had no idea about.

"You look hot. People will be drooling over you at the beach" He said winking at me.

"Oh please. I'm not the one with the perfect body" I said while kicking his calf muscle. Damn they were hard.

"You still look hot"

"Yeah, yeah, let's just get going" I don't want your sister to think i'm a weirdo.

"Why would she think you are a weirdo?"

"I don't know. Because i am? I just have to make a first good impression, now start this thing so we can go." I said while getting on his bike

"Why exactly? She's just my sister. Not your father in law or anything" He said chuckling a bit.

"I want people to like me, that's all. Where are we going anyway?" I asked as we passed by his place.

"Near the track, so the kid can build sandcastles and shit and also because you need to learn how to swim. They are already there, i dropped them off and came to get you."

"No. I ain't i even getting into the water."

"Yes, you are"

"Nope"

"Why? Are you afraid of the ocean or something?"

"Yes, i am. It is so creepy"

"Why didn't you learn to swim when you were younger?"

"I just never did, and no one was really around to teach me anyway. My mum didn't agree to send me to the swimming classes"

"Well, you are gonna learn today"

"I am not"

"We'll see about that"

"We're here"

The beach was like only ten minutes away from bike. It's Maldives. Everywhere is like 10 minutes away and we are surrounded by white sandy beaches.

"They are over there" Mark said motioning towards to a couple few meters away"

There weren't many people around. Maybe because it was too early in the day and VERY hot. It was like a hundred degrees out here.

Why did I agree to this again?

"Who is your friend?" she asked joyously.

Her midnight black hair tumbled over her shoulders. Dark brown eyes like that of a sweet chocolate .She had a shapely figure, and had glossy skin. Good looks must run in the family.

"This is John Traynor, a colleague of mine" he said putting his hand over my shoulder. "And John, meet my sister Hayley."

"Hello, nice to meet you" I said with a wide grin and a handshake. She had really soft skin too. Where did these people crawl out of? God's bellybutton?

"Hey" a guy approached with a kid who resembled Hayley whom I assumed was the husband.

"This is my husband, Patrick"

I was right.

"Hey, pleased to meet you. I'm John"

"Same, same. This is our daughter Anna. Say hi to John, Anna."

"Hello" she said excitedly. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwnnn so damn cute.

"Okay, now that all the awkward greetings are done can we have some fun now?" Mark called out.

"Yessssssssssss. Let's do that." With that everyone started walking towards the shade from the tress around the area.

It was such a beautiful day to be out at the beach. Sure, it was hot, but it was a nice kind of hot. The white sandy beaches, the crystal blue water and the cloudless blue sky. No wonder why they call Maldives the Paradise. The day was just perfect.

So, what do you guys think? Should i keep going?

I just wanted to update this because it's been too long. The second part will come in a day or two. Love you all!
