The Billionaire's Curvy Interest

CHAPTER 8: I Hope This Lasts

WADE

I don't understand why she feels or I should say thinks that she's out of shape. To be honest, I have seen bigger girls than her before not be as insecure. Plus, I'm a little surprised at the same time also because she doesn't seem to be that type of a person. At least not so far from the side of her she has been showing me recently.

It made me upset to hear her talk about herself that way.

"So are you in?" Neil asks.

"Of course." I replied with a smile.

We all then ordered some breakfast and had a little bit of 'awkward' moments. Then after we were finished, we all went to our bungalows to get ready and then met out front at the convertible they seemed to have rented.

Once we arrived in the front entrance to the paths, we got out and I had offered to carry the backpack of snacks and waters.

Both Neil and Levi of course walked beside each other in front of me and Racine.

While they were laughing and having a good time it sounded like, Racine and I were sharing awkward moments of silence until I decided to break it.

"So...I was thinking. I know I hadn't made the best impression at first and I'm assuming even up to right now, but maybe we can try and get to know each other and get along better so that we don't ruin anything for Neil and Levi?!" I suggest.

"Sure." She shrugs in reply. "I mean, I think that would be a good idea too. Because this is really about them." She agrees.

"Yeah." I replied.

"Look, I want to apologize about when I spilled the coffee on you and I shouldn't have been so rude." I tell her.

"It's fine. I guess I just overreacted a little." She says.

"It was actually better than most would've reacted." I reply as I chuckle a little to myself.

"So why didn't you tell me you were the son of Rothington's Airlines?" She asks.

"Well you might find this surprising but, I don't necessarily flaunt it a lot. Mostly because people already know who I am." I tell her.

"I thought you had looked familiar but wasn't entirely sure in how. Especially since I don't really get caught up in the social media stuff a whole lot. Well, except for of course staying in touch with people and promoting my work." She says.

"That's amazing by the way. I meant to tell you that on the plane but forgot."

"Thanks. But, what's amazing exactly?" I hear her chuckle.

"The fact that you do all of that stuff. It makes life better when you're doing something you love." I comment.

"Yeah. Well not all of us can grow up with money." She says and right away starts to apologize. "I'm sorry, I meant for that to come out as a joke, I didn't mean it the way it sounded. I'm sorry." She says.

"It's okay." I assure her.

Before either one of us says anything else, we hear Levi and Neil announce we arrived at the spot. Which I hadn't paid too much attention to our surroundings that as soon as we got to this secluded area, I began wondering how we even got here. I was so caught up in the fact Racine and I talking.

It was a beautiful spot and had a waterfall that's water came cascading down from the top of the high cliff that was somewhat hidden in the trees that surrounded this place.

"Wow man. This is niiice." I comment.

"Yeah. This is beautiful." Racine agrees.

"Yeah, it's one of the waterfalls we wanted to see along with a couple of others but the locals told us to start off with this one." Neil says.

We spent the next few hours exploring a little bit around the area as it was just us four the whole time. Which it was too bad we didn't have our swimsuits but I guess it was a good thing that we didn't go swimming because we later had found out that there were poisonous snakes in there and other things that made it too dangerous. However, the other places were more than great to go swimming in.

So far, I felt like the day was going really well and it seemed also that Racine and I were getting along more and enjoying one another's company, genuinely. I just hope this continues.

Next chapter will be posted soon! :)
