Flaunting LDR

*Chapter Nineteen - Turquoise

This chapter is written in Michelle's POV.

*Michelle Athena Santillan

After Marc took me around Hyde Park (more like took me food tripping), he brought me to the hotel I was going to stay in, Hyatt Place. We arrived at the hotel at around three o'clock.

I was about to take a nap with Rosalie and Travis when my phone rang.

  

*Dun Dun Duuuun*

Sir Brutus Espejo ♡

You were lovely today. :)

 

Marc, you expertise in making me sleep with a smile on my face. Please, don't stop.

We decided not to do anything much for the rest of the day, and just start the actual tour kind of thing the next day. So we practically didn't do much. We didn't even bother to leave the hotel premises.

We ate dinner at the hotel's restaurant, care of Uncle Ross. We also went swimming at the pool, and just had a movie marathon the rest of the day.

Marc and I kept texting. Non-stop. We've never texted this much before. Not even back in the summer, when I had the whole day to do nothing but chat with him. I think it's cause we're now in the same place, the same time zone. I like it though, a lot.

Marc: Are you wearing a bikini?

Me: Why?

Marc: I don't want guys gawking at you.

I smiled at what he said. It's really stupid though, because it's not like he really meant that because it's me guys would be "gawking" at. It could be because he finds it really disrespectful when guys do that. But I like to dream. There's nothing wrong with dreaming, right?

Me: There are much hotter girls here anyway, so they won't bother looking my way. Plus the existence of my height, they can't even see me at all. :))

Marc: Oh they will. It's you we're taking about here.

Marc, will you please let me look composed here. I look stupid in front of all the people here.

Before I could even reply, he sent another message.

Marc: I don't want other guys gawking at you while I'm not there. I feel like my Michelle is being harassed just by being stared at. No, just no.

My Michelle.

Marc Javier Espejo, I could just tackle hug you and kiss you right now!

"Athena, are you sharing jokes with your phone right now? You look like you're having fun," Travis said from the pool.

If you wanna know how Travis looks like in just his board shorts, I could explain it in one word.

HOT.

If he wasn't like a brother to me, or if he wasn't my best friend, or if I didn't know almost everything about him, I would be one of those girls whose eyes would be glued at him from the very second you see his face. Plus the body, damn. But he is my best friend, and I share the same stupidity with him so I don't have any attraction towards him.

"I should have used those type divers use. It's too cold to go swimming! How are you even moving your face in the cold water?" I said. Travis just flashed me what the girls told me as "the killer smile" and went back to doing laps.
