Once in a Summer (MewGulf)

Chapter One

IT WAS A COLD SUMMER BREEZE THAT GREETED GULF AS HE STEPPED OUT OF THE CAR.

Carrying his bags out and just dropping them on his side. He took a deep breathe and smiles to himself as his eyes wander into the entirety of the place.

Finally, the vacation he had always wanted.

He was a fresh graduate, just got out from the stress life in college and he just wanted to have some time for himself before facing the real world, before having a job that might cause him to be busy and lose his free life as a young man.

He took his bag and walks toward the entrance of the resort just right at the other side of the street where he'll be staying at.

It's not a grandeur resort but it have the best views of the beach. A perfect spot for the scenery.

"Good day," he greeted with a smile.

"Good day sir, what can I help you with?" The lady behind the counter gave him a warm and welcoming smile.

He leans forward and rests his elbows at the top of the counter.

"I made a reservation weeks ago," he answered.

"Oh, name please," the lady said, moving toward her computer and starts navigating through it.

"Gulf Kanawut," he said his name, "I made a reservation for a single room".

The lady typed his name and searches for it. After a few minutes she smiled widely.

"Ah, found it sir," she looks at him and turned around.

She walks toward the huge glassed key rack and retrieve one of the keys under the label of single rooms.

She handed him the key, "the rooms is right through that door. Enjoy your stay sir".

"Thank you," he said and accepted the key.

Gulf quickly grabbed his bag and headed toward the door just right across the lobby where the lady had pointed. He opened the door and what greeted him is the beach and there are rooms lining up the left and right side. The rooms are separated and stands alone in the beach's horizon.

He walks toward the long line of rooms to find his room number. While looking at the numbers placed above the door frames, he didn't realized that there's a guy walking the opposite of his way. He accidentally bumped his shoulder and for a second, he panicked.

"I'm sorry!" Gulf quickly apologized, bowing down.

"It's fine," the corner of the man's lip raised a bit, not a complete smirk that made him like a jerk but just a little smile.

Gulf felt a bit less tensed. After he spoke, the guy left him and headed toward the beach and left him alone.

He sighs to himself and continues in finding his room. It didn't took long enough to successfully find it. Just a few steps from the spot where he accidentally bumped the guy, he found it.

He didn't wasted any more time, he quickly pushed the keys in the hole and turned the knob, pushing the door open.

Alas, he was in his room.

A small yet beautiful one. He dropped his bag on the bed and headed toward the floor to ceiling window that the thick light blue curtain was hiding. He swiftly opens the heavy curtains and the view of the beach greeted him. Outside is small porch with a seat and a mini table.

Wow, it's beautiful, he thought to himself.

He was about to unlock the window but before he could even do it, something had caught his attention.
