50T H E AI sat next to Sebastian alongside the others. The moment I stepped inside this ballroom, everyone looked at me. I was nervous because all of their attention was on me and how these men admired me and said that I was gorgeous. But their words og appreciation didn't matter because I only wanted to know how Benedict thinks of me. Honestly I really wanted to know how Benedict thinks of me right now. I wanted to know how he thinks of how I look with my dress. I wanted to know if he thinks it's too much or just too revealing. I wanted to hear his opinion but he is too busy with Lovie. He probably thinks that she's much prettier than me."Thea, I can't believe how stunning you look right now." PJ complimented me for the fifth time and now his date looks at me as if she's ought to kill me.I smiled at PJ."You've said that for the nth time P." Troy grinsPJ chuckles, "It's because she truly is."PJ's date whose name is Ashley rolled her eyes."Now now PJ. Your date seems to be a li
51B E N E D I C TI waltz around the dancefloor with Bethany but I kept on stealing glances from Thea and Sebastian. I didn't want him to notice that I was looking at his date. I don't want him to doubt our friendship. I don't want him to think that I'm hiding something from him. It's already enough to see him happy. They're happy together anyways.But no matter how hard I try to keep myself unattach from her, it's just too impossible to happen."C'mon Benedict. You obviously have to agree and tell me the truth." I hear Bethany."About what?" I asked, trying to sound annoyed."That dress Thea's wearing." She points out.I look away."You were the one who bought it." Bethany adds."What did she say?" I asked."That Sebastian was the one who bought it for her. He was the one who delivered it to her suite a while ago." She explained.I nod. "Then that's it.""That's it? Don't you dare fool me Benedict. I saw that dress. I was the one who received it from the delivery man that day." She
52T H E AMy body felt weak in a second and I wanted to succumb to what he wants me to do. He makes me wanna stay here and dance with him. He makes me wanna forget about the whole other people inside the ballroom to be with him. He makes me forget that Sebastian is my date and Lovemarie's his tonight.But this isn't wrong, is it?He isn't officially seeing someone and I am available too. But why do I feel like I'm betraying Sebastian?I groan inwardly and wanted to pull myself away but he gently rubs my hand with his soft long fingers. My body melted and followed him as he placed my left arm around his neck and his right hand holding my free hand as he lazily pulled it up to our side. His other hand wraps around my waist and I loved how it stays there, as if he owned me tonight.Benedict, I hope you can read my mind. I hope you can read my mind so that things will be easier and that you'll know that I am already falling for you. No, I think I had been feeling this a few months ago bu
53B E N E D I C TEverything that was surrounding me was quiet and calm now.Me and Thea were both quiet now after two hours and half of having sex. I'm tired but I've never been this satisfied. I lay on her bed with nothing on me and with Thea lying down next to me. Thea lays her head over my chest and she's been awfully quiet for twenty minutes now. It made me feel as if I did something terribly wrong. I wonder if I even satisfied her. I mean, don't get it wrong but I'm the best in bed and I've been told. Not only once but always.I have noticed that Thea has been avoiding to look me in the eye and I guess she just doesn't know how to speak to me after what we unexpectedly did. We were quiet but we were okay. All of a sudden I see Thea pulling her forefinger out and started drawing circles around my left chest. She scribbled some words against my skin but I couldn't understand what it was.I gently placed my hand over the back of her head and started running my fingers through her
54T H E AThea,I have left while you were asleep. You looked beautiful and you slept peacefully so I couldn't wake you up. About what happened, don't worry a thing about it. Nothing will change between us and if it makes you comfortable I'll act like nothing happened. Rest well. I'll see you in the morning.Benedict.I sigh as I slip the small note into my bag and kept inside a secret pocket. The yacht has now arrived the island and I wasn't too excited to be here. Honestly, I wanted to go home now. I don't feel like something good will happen here in this island.I gave out a heavier sigh.Someone suddenly knocks on my door and I see the view of Sebastian entering my room. He smiles at me and gave me a quick hug."I was worried about you last night and where you went to." He says, rubbing my back.I smiled at him. "I wasn't well last night. Seasick."My eyes travelled to the ground. He rubs the top of my hand and said, "Well I'm glad you're all right now."I smiled at him and pulle
55T H E AI exhaled heavily looking at the swimwear's prices. It was waaaay too expensive and that piece I loved was very pricey. I wouldn't want to take advantage of this gold card that Sebastian gave me."That gold piece will definitely look good on you."I spin around and saw Lovemarie standing behind me.She smiles. I don't know if it's fake on or not but she said, "Hey."I smiled. "Hello."She picks up a cute top but she frowns looking at it then picks up another one and makes an approving look. "They have some great pieces here. Ben said."Ben. She can casually call him Ben."You seem like you don't like it." I say."Oh I do. It's just that... I'm very picky when it comes to clothes." She chuckles.I nod.I watch her as she starts picking another kind of clothing and then all of a sudden hands it to me."Here. This will suit your eyes." She smiles.I don't know if she even meant it or not but what she picked was beautiful. She chuckles, "Take that and that gold one."I shake my
56T H E AI exhale nervously.It makes me curious why he's all over me so suddenly when he doesn't even care about me before. He's been getting too touchy and too close. It makes me worry why he is actually being like this. I don't know his motive and it's hard to tell if he's just trying to flirt with me or not. But I am way too far from being a little bit interested with this very devious man. But I'm sure that he has reasons why he is being like this.I just don't know what."You look like you're ready." He adds."Well..." I stutter. "I'll be joining in a bit after I finish things here."He chuckles. "What the hell are you doing here?"I shake my head. "Putting my things out.""You didn't look like you brought a lot of things with you here." He smirks.I hate him. He's so annoying.And irresistibly gorgeous."Well, hurry up. You're missing the fun." He says.I nod as I watch him stand up straight with that devilish grin plastered on his handsome face."Are you staying here because
57T H E AI like it.I don't like it.Arghhhh!!Sebastian looks upset and I know he wanted to exchange partners so bad but everyone said and agreed that no one should change partners as soon as the app will start choosing its own.I sigh.I glance at Benedict and he kept an impassive look on his face. His arms were inserted inside his pockets and he was just quiet while the rest of the people that were around us were talking to their partners."I think I'll pass this one." Benedict suddenly called out and got everyone's attention.All of them looked back at Benedict."Why?" Bethany asked."It'll be a great group activity for all of us." PJ says.The twin agreed."Don't be a party poop." Troy commented."It's been a while since we had this kind of outdoor activity man. Don't be like this." Khaleel says.I watch Benedict shaking his head and answered, "My hands hurt due to all the barbecuing a while ago and I am not great with sandcastles. We all know that lads."I sigh inwardly.I thi
