CHRISTY:VINCENT WAS a flirt and he was excellent in doing it. Plus, he was also using his looks to his advantage and his family name, too. Everyone knew a Watson and the influence they carried. My eyes narrowed. What was this man up to? Flirting in broad daylight despite knowing I was married.Maybe he looked for wealthy women, and after spotting them, approached them, got friends with them and when they gave their trust, he would ask what he could offer and then there would be exchanges of services. Like what had happened last night.Did he think I was loaded, too? If he only knew. "I'm not the right woman for that, Vincent. I’m not in the mood to play with your games, too, Vincent. Would you please leave me alone for a moment? I don’t appreciate someone right now."I kicked my legs faster and planned on leaving him, but the man had no plans of giving up.“Oh. I know what happened. My cousin and you just fought. I can keep you company while both of you cool down your heads. I'm
CHRISTY:I glared at Vincent's nonsense answer. I rolled my eyes at Vincent.“I'm not playing with you.”The smile vanished from his eyes before saying, “They just wanted to come to the ship because everything is free. Food and the entrances to all the places are free. That's the only reason, Miss Christina.”“Okay,” I said and continued walking.“Hey. Are you mad at me, Miss Christina?”“No. Why would I?”“You're mad at me. Women are like that. They are not vocal about their emotions. The woman's no is yes. Their yes are no. You're complicated, too. Do you know what? I did not hear anything bad spoken against you by your husband, Miss Christina. I meet countless married men and all they grumble about are their wives. Everette is different.”He did not grumble because he did not care about me. That was the only explanation for that. “What are you? My husband's spokesperson?”He laughed.Why did that house seem so far? I wanted to get away from Vincent as fast as possible.“I am not
CHRISTY:“I’m not in the mood to play with you right now,” I stated while glaring at the sea.I'm tired of everything. Sometimes, I would feel okay, but most of the time, I was not. I wish I would be able to uplift my mood because I don't like what I am feeling right now. Vincent laughed. “Chill. I’m only messing with you, Miss Christina.”“Are we that close, huh?” I asked back which made him fall silent. “You're not my friend so please stop acting as if we were friends. We were not.”I did not care if I sounded harsh, as long as I got to keep my personal space. And it would be better if he would leave me alone until the end of this cruise ship. I was not looking for any company or anyone who would help me deal with whatever I was dealing with right now. His head fell. “I’m sorry, but I only want you to keep me company since Everette is not here with you. Despite the beauty of this place, there are still dangerous spots. Or maybe you will be left behind. It's not my intention to an
EVERETTE:"I will look for her," I declared when my wife had not returned yet. I had been waiting for her in the house with Vincent. The food was already served but there were no signs of my wife. According to Vincent, she had been out for a couple of hours already. Beatrice and I were able to talk and told me that his husband wanted to divorce her. Right now, she was also doing everything so that it would not push through.Drake should be grateful I had not seen him because right now, I wanted to punch him for hurting my sister like that. Beatrice might be the eldest in the family among seven siblings, but when it comes to dealing with problems, she wisstill a baby. If I were asked, I would want her to sign the divorce papers, but in return, I would sign my own divorce papers too. "Where will you go, Everette?" Vincent asked. “Are you familiar with the island?”How could I? When I rarely joined the cruise ship. If not for Christina, I won't be coming here. I glared at him, as he
EVERETTE:Where could she be? Why would she keep on making me worry? I asked in my mind as I continued to look for my wife. My worries for her did not disappear as I continued to look for her. I already went to the mini-forest of this island but did not find her there. I also asked some of the residents, but none of them saw her. That woman. Did she have plans to make me sick with worry? I did not like how I felt right now. If you haven't prioritized your family over your wife, this would not happen at all. But it was her suggestion that I go after Beatrice. She said it was fine. If she only told me that it was no, I wouldn't go there.Are you sure, Everette? Your mind would often wander to your older sister.Well, there was a point there.Drake made sure not to show his face or he would regret it for the rest of his life."Christina? Where are you?" I shouted. My voice echoed, but there were no signs that my wife heard me. If I had not found her by sunset, I would have created a
CHRISTY:What the fuck was Everette doing? My mind screamed while my eyes widened in surprise. Why was he kissing me?Before I could get drowned in whatever was happening between us, I pushed him away, wanting to put a space between us before I could forget that I was angry at him.“What are you doing, huh?” I asked. I acted as if I was disgusted and wiped my mouth. “I’m kissing you?” he asked in hesitation. “I know you are kissing me, Everette. Don't make me feel as if I am dumb.”“Why? Don’t you like it?”Even if he kisses like a toad, I still would like it so much! “You don’t even know how to kiss!” I lied and averted my gaze. “You’re making me feel embarrassed, Everette. What are you up to? Why are you here? You’re not welcome here. Don’t you know I wanted to be alone? Why can’t you listen to me?” His mouth opened and closed before he found the words to say and uttered, “Kitten, I realized everything now. I love you.”My heart skipped a bit.Did he love me? The words that I wa
CHRISTY:Everette dipped his mouth into mine. I moaned at the pleasure of his kisses.He bit. He nibbled and lastly shoved his mouth into mine. Our tongues were fighting a battle we were the only ones who knew. No one wanted to be defeated. Both of us wanted to rule. I no longer felt the cold, but instead felt the electricity created between our bodies. Who needed hot water when he could already warm me up?When we were both catching our breath, we both pulled away and rested both of our foreheads against each other."Kitten..."Grinning, I asked, "Yes, Bunny? Anything for you?""Kiss me again," he whispered. "Your kisses are like a drug. I could not get enough of it. I cannot get enough of you," he mumbled.I chuckled and sat on his lap, under the water. "You will look for my kisses every single day, Bunny.""I don't mind. I have no plans of letting you go, Kitten. You and I will be forever. There will be no divorce, Kitten. You hear me? I will not allow it."My heart melted at his
CHRISTY:EVERETTE and I were holding hands when we went back to the house. Vincent and Maria were waiting for us, wearing a knowing smile.“Let me guess, Everette. Something good happened.”Everette blushed, while I glared at Vincent for embarrassing his cousin like that. “Whatever happened, it’s no longer your concern.”“You’re both wet.”I raised my eyebrows. “So what?” I asked. With Everette beside me, the cold no longer bothered me at all. Why would I when he was warm all over? “We both went to the waterfalls of this island.”The corner of Vincent's lips lifted. “Do you know the stories about that waterfall?”“I am not interested.”“You should be. According to the locals of this place, whoever had sex in that place, the couples would get pregnant. This is also the reason why the waterfall became an instant tourist attraction among couples who found it difficult to get pregnant.”“I don’t believe it,” I muttered. “That is only one of the strategies so that the place would be swarmi
