Brieanna's eyes immediately widened. "No! I'm only saying--"
"You were planning on marrying me," he interrupts her, chuckling softly. "Damn, I feel giddy right now!"
"No, I was not!"
"Marry me," he tells her, gazing at her with a bright smile. It almost looks like his eyes are the reflection of the ocean sparkling under the sun, she can't help but stare for a while.
"No!" she uttered in a low tone, finally looking the other way. "You said we'd go buy supplies."
"Changing your embarrassment casually, huh? And yeah, we're headed to the market for fresh meats and everything."
"We can't leave Mochi in the car."
"Who said we'd leave him here? We'll stop by the resort's guard house and let the guard look after him while we're gone."
"Or I can just stay with him while you go buy--"
"No. You're coming with me."
And she rolls her eyes at him. His idea is not bad. For them to naturally pick up where they both left, sh
Finally, the surfing competition day has come to Evie. Early in the morning she warms up, cook herself the best breakfast to fuel her up for this day. After years of not competing, she's finally coming back. It excites her to the bones. The fact that Brieanna will be there to support her, it kind of gives her the obligation to show her little missy how waves are supposed to be ridden.She glances at her wrist watch and it's time to go. Her things are all packed since yesterday for her convenience today. It's quite the mentality she has.Hopping on her scooter, she puts on her helmet-- which she usually doesn't use at all-- and she drives off to the competition venue.Approaching the entrance, she could already see Brieanna waving at her with William. Her face lighted up even more but when she noticed the grin of the other man standing beside Brieanna, her smile faded and replaced with a frown."What's that guy doing here?
The next day after the competition and as long planned, Brieanna, Evie, William and Richard hang out at that special place Evie brought Brieanna the first time they got to know each other. That spot is called cloud nine, from its name, surfing there allows you to ride a stunning experience, remarkably magnificent in any way. Waves there are perfect to get in to since they form tunnels more often than the other places, maybe because of its location. "Not many people come here. Don't know why but they don't," Evie tells them, putting down some of their stuffs on the sand. "Yo, point one! Help me with the damn blanket!" Yes, Evie has not gotten over that point one difference on their scores and so she decided to give Richard that nickname. On the other hand, Richard was not bothered by Evie calling him that, he even said it was unique. After they set up the blanket, they put their things in, their food and drinks. They also brought with them that thi
Early in the morning and Kendal hears loud screaming from downstairs. What the heck is going on? She was busy all night looking for Brieanna like the past few weeks that had passed. With their aunt Mary's voice ringing in her ear, she can't go back to sleep.Groaning, she snapped her eyes open, sitting up. She glances at the time and it says seven twenty six. It wasn't that early like she hoped. As she stands up, she stretches then walk out of her door to downstairs.Her aunt Mary was on the phone, her grandmother was having her tea like most morning. Choosing between an old maid who never married and her grandmother, she went to sit closer to grandma."Good morning, grandma," she greeted, kissing on her grandmother's cheek. Then she glances at her aunt. "Morning, aunt Mary.""Good morning, dear!""How'd you sleep, granny? Better than the other night?""Oh no! I worry about Brieanna. Usually when she leaves she comes back a
As Brieanna was going in for work, she meets Richard at the same spot. But unlike the usual, he was wearing a shirt that has sleeves. Usually he's half naked or wearing a sleeveless shirt. He also smelled like he poured a whole bottle of cologne to him self. Today must be the big date, Brieanna thinks. "My eyes are not used to seeing you in a shirt! And you're wearing sandals!" Yeah she just noticed too. "Yeah," he chuckled. "I thought my slippers needed a rest. So, boom! My sandals are out of the luggage! Any tips for me today?" Tips... she's not sure if she can give tips. Evie is a cool person so maybe she likes cool stuffs? "All I know is she is amazing! She's a chef and she really likes surfing so much. I think the best one is that you should not act arrogant around her," she says, nodding her head slowly. "She really thinks you are arrogant." That made Richard laugh, tossing his head forth and back. "I hope her impressio
Evie's jaw dropped. No! There's no way that her and Richard are going to be neighbors! And that house is her best friend's house! "No way! I know whose house that is!" she yells at him. "You do? It's my brother in law's house. Said I could use it for how long I'd like." "You are Aron's brother in law?" "Yeah, he's my twin sister's husband." And her eyes just widened. That's why she felt like his face is familiar. The photo of Aron's fiancee. Richard just looks like the boy version of that girl! Why? She was having a good day with him! "Are you okay?" he asked. "Yeah. But I need to go inside now." Without looking back she made her way towards her front door. She typed in her passcode and when she was about to turn the doorknob she remembers how Richard has been patient with her today. She looks back and saw him still waiting for her to open the door. "Welcome to the neighborhood and I had fun today." Richard
Two weeks after the surfing competition, the four of them got to hang out at the Cloud nine spot again. The thing is, unlike what Brieanna had expected, Richard and Evie seemed to be distant from each other. It almost looks like something happened with in that day. Did they kiss? "So, where are you staying now, bro? Haven't seen you at the resort," William asked. Sometimes he just doesn't know how to read the atmosphere. "At my brother in law's house. Just across Evie's house," Richard answered. "Eh?" Brieanna and William were shocked. Now that she looks back at when they gave Evie a ride home, Richard was looking around the neighborhood. And brother in law? It would be too much of a coincidence if he is the brother in law of Evie's first love. But when she glances at the two of them, especially at Evie, it is kind of the situation. "Are you serious?" she asked, blinking couple of times. "It just happened that way," Evie muttered, twitching he
Brieanna didn't waste any second, she removed her seat belt and stormed out, her gaze following her cousin. "Kendal!" she calls, breathing heavily.Kendal turned around and her eyes went round to see her. She dropped her handbag and ran towards Brieanna, hugging her tightly, shedding some tears."Oh my God! I knew I'd find you here! I'm so sorry I took so long!" She hears Kendal cries. "I swear, I checked on everyone for you. You suddenly disappeared, I was so worried!""I missed you!""No, I missed you more!"They were both crying when William just got back, his eye brows drawn together slightly. He has no idea who that lady is but they seemed really close. He didn't want to interfere too so he waited."How did you find me?" Brieanna asked when they both calmed down."Our damn relatives brought the news. They said they'd seen you with surfers and a ... man," Kendal answered, looking down for a moment and back to her
The very next day, William just could not get enough of hugging Brieanna. Whether if she's cooking, washing dishes or watching a movie, his arms are secured around her waist."You agreed to it," she tells him. "Plus it's just two days and you will be flying to see me too and my family. What do you keep pouting about?""Two days is 48 hours, 2880 minutes, 172, 800 seconds. Do you want to know how many nanoseconds that is?"She could not help but laugh at how William was acting. He's like a kid who doesn't want his mama to leave, so adorable!"You know what you should do during those days? You should think of a speech, how you can convince my grandmother for me to live in with you for good.""We are already living in.""My grandmother is old fashion. She will not allow for you and I to live in.""She will allow us. Even Kendal allowed us when she knew we don't stay in the same room. And they know if I was an ass, I would hav
