The Saint Jones [Completed]

chapter 11: Sweet melody

"Did you know that the sea is one of most beautiful things in the world?" The voice of Julian penetrates my ears like a delicate melody. Sweet melody.

I have no idea how this happened, but we are sitting side by side on the chairs that has been placed for tourists if they perhaps want to decompress or to take a sunbath. We are looking at the sea, at this spectacular view and its beautiful colours, but what is sitting next to me is taking all my attention, his imposing body is everything.

He made the first step, asking me if I wanted to take a sit with him, of course, I did not think much about it, I said yes directly, but I will not hide that his request was unexpected, I mean, he was cruel to me the other night.

"Oh, right." For me the most beautiful thing in the world is the world itself, which includes nature, the sea, the sand and everything that combines to create this beautiful world in which we are living in.

"Yes, but unfortunately we humans, we don't know how to take great care of it," he says and I swear I can hear my mom speaking, she was a lover nature, her friends and dad used to call her 'woman nature' because she cared so much about the world.

"Are you thirsty?" He asks when he comprehends that I am not saying anything. To be honest, I am thinking about what I should be telling him, I do not want to say anything off topic but I do not want to stop talking to him as well, he feels so... easy, so homely.

"Hum... no, I am fine," I reply as I rest my back comfortably against the back of the chair.

"Are you sure? A glass of pure fruit juice will be a great thing, you know," he says, his face turned to me.

I sigh and nod, okay, maybe he is right, a glass of juice would not be a bad thing, plus it is starting to get pretty hot on this cruise, the sun is starting to burn everything.

"Okay," I say.

He gets off the chair and pats his back pocket. God, now I realize how brawny his thighs are, well, that explains everything, the guy is a gym lover. I found my twin.

"I'll be back," he says and walks towards the bar and yes, there is a small bar outside as well, for those who wants to drink something fresh by the pool.

My eyes gaze at his back as he walks perfectly confident towards the bar. I keep asking myself how someone like him can exist on this world, he is so surreal, he makes my heart beats in ways it has never beaten before. Since the first day I have met him, it is still the same way, nothing has changed, on the contrary, it is getting worse.

I do not know if what I am doing is a good thing but I do not care, all that matters is that he finally spoke to me, and in a polite way. Two days ago he was arrogant, really arrogant and cold, but now he is not—  I do not know why though, something clicked in his head?— he is pretty cool and it attracts me even more to him.

"Here." His figure appears in front of me with two large glasses of juice in his hands.

"Thank you." I seize my glass with shaking hands, praying that nothing will spill out.

He takes his seat back next to me, sipping on his juice— I can hear it, he is making it too obvious— from the corner of my eyes I can see the side of his comely face, part is hidden by his sunglasses, he is looking at me, I guess, and I can feel my forehead getting all sweaty, which I assume is because of the sun...or not.

"This is for my forgiveness, I'm sorry for what happened earlier," he says, mentioning to the glass of juice and I look at him, something I barely did since we came here.

"It was not your fault, it was mine," I reply, but in the back of my mind I know that we are both wrong here, we were both turning the corner, how would we know that there was someone at the other side? But of course, I am not going to tell him that, I do not want to create a discussion about it.
