Chapter 64.

Zayn's P.O.V:

The family activities were postponed for tomorrow due to Izzie's injured state. Lexie and I are currently waiting for the manager in his office.

I was definitely going to give this man a piece of my mind.

I sat across Lexie, my foot was continuously tapping on the floor as I held my hands to my knees.

What the hell is taking so long

Lexie studied me intently. I flicker my eyes down her body and I frown. "can you please go upstairs and change" 

"what?" She asked obviously taken back.

"I see almost everything through that thin over all and so can everyone else" I scowl at her lightly. "oh who? the 50 people who are on the same island and in the same hotel that we are in Zayn" she reasoned out. "they are not looking at me." she said sternly 

"Yeah the bell boy wasn't drooling once he laid eyes on you." I argued and she sighed "We are at a beach, this is beach wear connect the dots" she huffed, obviously tired of me criticizing her outfit. 

"Lex-" I start but she cut me off. "I think my clothes are the least of our problems right now" she said before switching her gaze to a middle aged man who was clearly the manager. 

"Mr. Malik I presume" he greeted. "I have been told about the accident and we are truly sorry for what happened."

"Sorry?" I asked in disbelief. "call me over protective but what has gotten into your senses to allow a panicky and scared individual to be life guard." 

"Sir you have to understand he was new." 

"hew was new" I repeated. "did he have undergo  OJT?" I asked and the manager nodded. "and he passed?" I followed up and he said yes again. 

"well obviously because if you allowed an untrained life guard to work that's just completely idiotic" I said calmly but then continued. 

"then he should be able to do his job then, should he not" I smugly looked at the manager who had a frown plastered across his face. "he should have but-" I raise my finger to silence him.

"If stutter pants was still  unfamiliar with the ropes of the job, then you should have let a veteran accompany him right?" I raised my eye brow at him and he visibly swallowed.

"yes sir" he agreed again, knowing very well there was no argument he could place that would justify what his employee did. 

"you had a weak kneed pussy-" I was cut off by Lexie

"zayn, language" she said sternly and I sighed before clearing my throat "weak kneed person" I emphasized and turned to Lexie and she forced a smile. 

I then faced the manager yet again "stand as a life guard and that he is supposed to be in charge of our safety and for his ass to freeze in an accident is overly unacceptable." I sneer and he simply stayed silent. 

"because if that is what your establishment offers then it is clear that you lead this place with incompetency" I said lowly. "and I think I've heard that you are in the running for London's best vacation spots am I correct?" 

he nodded again before panic filled his eyes. 

"Sir it won't happen again." he clearly promised. 

oh no, it won't be that easy.

"Listen here, and listen good" I said slowly. "you are going to make this up to my family and I, you will make sure we have the best damn time , if you don't I will be suing your ass off for this hotel and everything in it. Am. I. Clear." I emphasized every word that came out of my mouth and in my peripheral view I see Lexie biting her bottom lip as I spoke to the manager.
