Chapter 7 Moonlight Kiss

We arrived before sunrise, Sta. Inez is such a beauty to behold, the pure fine white sand and the mix of green and aqua blue water, crystal clear.

"It is indeed love at first sight" 

I thought aloud and it was too late to hold back, Reid started gazing my way and surprise was all over his face.

"I supposed you like what you see? this place is one of the many places I go back into to refresh me, glad you like it, Becca" 

He gladly told me, Reid is in his best element, he is at home and cozy on this island. I'm delighted to join him at least for this project. 

"I feel the same vibe, thanks" 

I gently responded to his positive aura.

An old man approached us and started talking to Reid.

"Welcome back young master" 

The man greeted us with at most respect.

"Lino stop calling me that I'm a full-grown man now" 

Reid utters with a chuckle, he glanced back at me giving me a hand gesture to tag along with them.

"Lino this is Becca one of my best employees,  She will stay here with me, for work purposes please attend to anything that she needs"

Lino nodded and move his way out of the room he brought us in, 

The room has a Mediterranean theme to it, the colors of the wall paintings match the natural beauty this place has. 

There are some pictures that hang on the wall too, particularly a picture of a young boy riding a horse.

"Am I that cute there?"

I jumped alarmed, Reid unexpectedly appeared on my side.

"you startled me" 

the only words that come out.

"Sorry about that" 

he sounds concerned about finding the scope to stride away from me.

"That's okay I'm not hurt"  

I replied, squeezing myself in a hug because the cold breeze from the open window bothers me a bit.

"Do you think I can hurt you?" 

he made sure to have an eye connection with me.

"Everyone is capable of hurting someone, Reid, whether you like it or not." 

he appears so intrigued by what I'm saying,

"Are you cold?"

he asked, changing the topic. I marvel at the impression he is implying about what he said about hurting me.

Nonetheless, I never dared to ask, instead I answered back.

"Just a little" 

He stepped closer to the window and closed it. 

"Feel at home Becca I need to catch up on some phone calls. I'll join you for lunch. If you need anything, press this button that's connected to the staff room." 

I nodded and turn around strolled my way to my room,

"Will you be okay alone here?" 

he asked one more time. Making sure I feel okay on my own,

"yes, I think so" 

He looked at me before he left.

While fixing myself a tea on the side table in my room, what he said about hurting me still bugged me in the back of my head. 

In any occurrence that I find him and me speaking trouble and I tag him as a jerk many times, I can't count.

I heard the knocking on the door, I opened it and Lino came to sight.

"Ms. Becca Sir Reid can't join you for lunch he has to bring a resident who resides near this island to the nearest hospital, she is with a child and wishes to have medical attention" 

My face showed disappointment but I was able to reply nicely.

"Is that so? thank you for letting me know Lino"

Lino left after informing me of Reid's whereabouts.

He is a good person, who's behaving so tough in front of us, for all the people who rely on him.

I tried calling Sierra, but the signal in this area is bad. I hope she's not that worried.

I spend my whole afternoon walking on the seashore and it's almost sunset, I preferred to witness this magnificent sunset with Reid is he was here,

Suddenly a strong voice caught my awareness,  Reid was striding his way to me. 

glaring  so mad, 

"Where were you, I was so anxious?"

he exclaimed. 

Why is he mad? He is the one who's gone for a long time and I'd never said anything.

"I'm just here, is there something wrong?" 

I told him with a relaxed tone,

"There was a power surge inside your room a while ago, it almost caused a fire, I thought something bad happened because you weren't there."

He pulled me closer for a hug, and so near I could hear his heartbeat.

I tried holding myself back yet he whispered.

"Can we stay like this for a while Becca?"

His begging voice touches the very core of my heart. Why is he behaving this way? I can sense that he is afraid.

After that hugged he touches my face and dearly said, 

"I go crazy when I don't see you, since that kiss we shared, I can't forget this face" 

his eyes showed so much fire, and I don't want this feeling, I'm too afraid that I might not resist this strong emotion for him anymore.

He reached for my lips to his and I tried to pull away and stop him

but he is much stronger, his hands caressing my back giving me goosebumps from my head to my toes. 

I begin to wrapped my hands around his neck and started kissing him deeply, 

reacting to his hot kisses,

the moon shines so brightly tonight, also our hearts.
