Erin’s P.O.V.The nerve of him. I am low-key furious right now, but I couldn’t get his words off my mind.Dylan would never say or do something like that right?I went back to the restaurant and found Dylan seated back at our table. The moment I was near I noticed his bruised face.Noah did this?!“Oh my God, What happened?!” Concerned I asked for a pack of ice from a waitress.“Yeah, this is nothing…Had a misunderstanding with someone.”“Was it Noah, my boss?” I tried asking but he shifted his gaze instead“So, it’s true? Were you plann

No matter how much I think about it, I’m being played for a fool. I kept myself busy, but no matter how many people I interact with, the thought just won’t leave me alone.It was finally lunch break and I was on my way to the cafeteria when someone tugged my arms by the fire exit.“Let go! What do you want?” I pulled my arm from his grip“Listen, It’s not what you think” Noah gave me a stern look in the eyeI rolled my eyes “Oh, now you can look me in the eye.”“Tsk. At least let me explain first.” frustrated he put his palms at the back of his nape.“She’s just an old friend messing around for attention. Believe me, she’s-” I shook my head, obviously not falling for it.“You don’t have to explain anything to me, Noah. I’m not your girlfriend.” his brows furrowed. “Everything from the beginning until now is as clear as day to me but I don’t plan on sticking around to be fooled for the third time.” I pushed him lightly and went back out.The day went by faster than expected, but I di

he created a gap between us after the kiss, we stared at eachother as if we were both looking for the right words to say. Finally, I was able to gather mine and whispered, "W-why are you doing this to me?" He didn't respond, instead he caressed my cheek with his palm and then my lips with his thumb and kissed me again softly. I could taste the sweet strong flavor of scotch from his lips."Do you want me to stop?" he mumbled in a soft baritone, “I-Idon’t know…”I said in between kisses. I know damn well that this is all another mistake, another one of his playful tricks on women, yet I’m falling for it again.Honestly, I couldn’t think straight anymore. He held my waist and lifted me up from the chair, carrying me with care. “Then I’ll take that as a no” He carried me inside and slowly layed me down in bed. He was on top of me, pinning both my wrist up with his hand while the other was tracing my waist inside the loose white shirt I was wearing.“Noah..” I soft moan escaped my lips

Noah’s P.O.V.I saw a cloud of dark smoke coming from the Yacht, a fire broke after a while and I could see the people jumping off the Yacht. I quickly ran back to the resort proper where I saw Jacob ordering people around to get a boat and alert all staff“What the hell happened?!” The adrenaline from drinking alcohol was starting to kick in“I don’t know! F*ck! I already called rescue they should be here by now!” I could sense him panicking “Aren’t you supposed to be the one in charge there?!” The Yacht was rapidly on fire and It reminded me of that tragedy, I suddenly felt a tight pain in my chest. I couldn’t get myself to look so I turned my back and breathed slowly and heavily. I could hear it again.. The faint screams of the people and the suffocating stench of smoke as if I was reliving the whole tragedy again “Noah!” I could hear people pleading with my name for help.“Noah!” Jacob grabbed me by the shoulder causing me to grasp what was happening at the present. The rescue h

Noah stared at me intently the moment our eyes met, "What do you want now?" I asked. "There's a group checking in tomorrow, I'm holding you in charge as their guide. Blow it up and you're fired," he ordered before retreating back to his cabin. He left me hanging by the door, dumb-founded. But what did I expect him to do? Grab me by the waist? I must be delusional. A group of hotel employees checked-in the next day, I was busily encoding their names when one of them caught my attention, "Dylan?” I recognized my former supervisor from my last job waiting among the guests. His eyes beamed the moment he saw me. "Morgan! What a coincidence!" He approached the counter. I gave him a warm smile, “What brings you here?” I asked seeing his name isn’t on the list along with the group. He leaned forward with a charming smile on his face, showing off his right cheek dimple, “I’m on vacation, Morgan. Care to join me?” If I didn’t know any better, I’d say his flirting with me. But, that’s

Erin’s P.O.V. I slapped him. Shit. His words triggered the lion inside me, but I didn’t have the words to describe how frustrated I am despite having thought of a thousand words to tell him If I see him again. “I-I’m sorry.” was all I could say with my head down, ashamed to even look at him after what I did. After a moment of silence, I heard him chuckle. Annoyed, I lifted my head. “I believe we haven’t had a proper introduction. I’m Noah Rodriguez, I’m the owner of this resort and your boss.” he gave me smirk His emphasis made me realize how foolish I was to act on impulse. “S-so what?” I stuttered. “I see you have a feisty side in you, Miss..” he paused to look at my nameplate and smiled mischievously “..Erin Morgan a.k.a Miss I’m not that easy” My eyes widened after remembering that line, why did he have to bring that up! “Listen. What happened a few weeks ago was a mistake, so stop bringing it up.” I demanded “A mistake? You’re hurting my feelings babe. If it was a m
