Bali

~2

I stayed in my hotel room staring at the ocean ahead of me. My room had the best view, and all I did was drink tea and listen to the sound of waves being hit against the shore. I didn't want to go the party they were hosting today, but I promised I would. Plus I needed to release all the tension I had inside me. I quickly finished placing on my make up and doing my hair as I saw the people starting the party from afar. The only thing I was actually excited for was the food I smelled as I walked towards the party.

"Hey you made it!" Izzy smiled as she hugged me. "Come on we're making grilled seafood!"

"Of course." I laughed as I saw the man grilling was Zac.

"Salmon or Albacore?" Zac pointed at me as I sat in the bench. "Oh and hey again." He chuckled nervously.

"Hey." I replied giggling. "And I'll take Salmon." I couldn't help but feel my cheeks burn as we both looked at each other's eyes. I couldn't help but feel nervous the more we looked. It felt like forever and I eventually looked away, looking at the ocean in front of me. Izzy ended up introducing me to most of the people and even danced a little bit.

"Can I join you guys?" Zac said coming in between us. He started moving and being absolutely the cutest thing I've seen. Zac didn't look like he was my age, he looked a little older than me, but I didn't care, he was so beautiful. I couldn't help but giggle as he danced.

"You're a great dancer." I said laughing at him as I started dancing with him.

"Why thank you." He chuckled. He then took both of my hands and started dancing with me, twirling me around and moving quickly as the beat got better with time. "How old are you?!" He said as the music got louder.

"Twenty six! What about you?!"

"I'm 30!" He laughed.

"Oh shit the big three o!"

"Yeah man I'm getting old!" He laughed. "Wanna get out of here?! I could show you my place?!"

"Yes please!" I couldn't help but get a little headache with all the songs. The party was great but it was getting too tiring, especially after this jet lag. He led the way as he took me away from the beach and eventually near a small modern building. I didn't even know how he could afford living here, it looked so expensive and absolutely beautiful.

"What do you think?" He put his arms in the air as he took steps back, smiling at me.

"Wow." I chuckled. "This place is amazing for a fish boy."

"Oh no, she infected you!" He clenched his fists and made himself look like he was in agony. It was cute.

"Zac!" I laughed. "For real tho! This is amazing. I can't believe you actually live here."

"Yeah, I can't believe either, but I thank my fish market business. So I guess you can call me fish boy."

"Your fish market did all this? Damn how many fish do you catch daily?"

"As much as I can. I don't only sell fish I also own a fish restaurant, Izzy didn't show you?"

"No?! I just came here today Zac, I won't know anything yet." I chuckled.

"Don't worry, I'll take you there tomorrow morning."

"Not gonna happen fish boy." I smiled as I walked towards his balcony to see the beach and the mountains. I couldn't even believe this view, it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

"You got work?! Damn where do you work?!"

"The beaches bartender."

"You work at that little hut?" He chuckled. "That's so cute."

"Thank you." I looked back at him to see him already smiling at me. "Anyways, I should head back to my hotel. You should help me find an apartment that's not too pricey to live in around here." I pointed his chest.

"Yeah for sure. And let me walk you home." He jogged towards the door.

"Alright fish boy."

"God damn it." He squinted his eyes while leaning on the door, waiting for me to leave.
