EIGHT: "Happy." ✍️

My heart felt like it had been torn to shreds, and my feet felt like they were glued to the sand. Weird. When I saw him kiss a girl in front of me, my heart hurt for no clear reason.

Zack's hold of the girl took longer than five seconds and was so sudden that it left her gasping for air.

"Damn lucky girl!" The other girls envied.

"Zack, kiss me, too!"

"I deserve that kiss more than her!"

"Please, Zack, give me another kiss. I beg you, try it again just once more!"

He just laughed at them all but he had always been so dangerous.

"Where are you going! Where's my kiss, too!"

"Zack, wait for us!"

"Maniacs!" laughingly said the girl who remained here with the guys. "I'm hungry. Let's eat!"

"Yeah. Me too! Let's go back to the hotel!" said another girl in her red bikini.

Ryle looked at me. "We're going to have breakfast, Ryn. You wanna come with us?"

"Let's go, Ryn. We're very enjoyable to be with, just join us." Flamur seconded my stepbrother's invitation.

I could see the two girls were snickering at the idea of me joining them for breakfast, so I politely declined the boys' invitation. Not that I intended to go with them anyway.

"Just go ahead. I'll be fine here alone," I said.

"You sure?" Ryle wasn't convinced enough.

I nodded at my stepbro. "Yes. Anyway, I already took my breakfast with mom and uncle Alanson before I went here."

"Sad. We supposed we could bond and make friends with you." Vandyke said and then he smiled in a very charming way.

The latter's endearing smile caused me to blush. Perhaps many women have crushes on him because of how good-looking he is when he is relaxed and at ease. Each and every one of these young men is both gorgeous and affluent. That's just how their unique personalities and fashion senses are.

The two girls rolled their eyes. "Urgh! Tss!"

It was probably just me, but I could tell they were becoming antsy waiting for the boys to join them.

I shook my head on Vandyke. "Sorry, but I won't really be going with you. Maybe next time will do."

"You'll be alone here. You're fine being by yourself?" Janzen asked.

I smiled a little and nodded to reassure them that I would be fine here. I assure you, I'll be okay."

He grinned. "Oh, I almost forgot, you were all fine here earlier before we ever came."

"Or do you want me to come along with you?" Armel joked around, too.

"Armel!" The girls were almost rising their voices in impatience for waiting for the boys to finally go with them.

"Hahaha. Kidding!"

"Let's go inside now! We're really hungry!"

The girls marched inside the hotel and so few of the boys followed them.

"You sure you won't be lonely here by yourself, huh?" asked Ryle once again to make sure I could endure being left alone.

I nodded confidently and grinned. "Sure, bro. Thanks for caring."
