I shut my mouth. But not because I got intimidated by him. Of course, I have my plans. I don’t want to push through his patience when I’m wanting to get his trust.  Now, I’m trailing him from behind. Walking at the sand in front of the waves that’s crashing to the shore. I trail his steps silently. I’m like a kid trying to match my steps with his. I grinned because I find it funny how my foot is so small compared to his. ”Aww,” I bumped my head into a hard thing. When I lift my head it’s him that I saw. He raised his brows with a quirky smile. I did the same. ”What now?” I pouted. He rolled his eyes handsomely and smirked. He grabbed me by the wrist in seconds and then I was already beside him. He slid his fingers into mine in one swift move, clasping our hands together. My heart thumped in chaos. I wasn’t able to say anything but to just

The wedding will be in the next two days. That just means that we still have enough time to burden each other. As if I have a choice. I just tried to look at the bright side of this trip slash vacation. At least, I get to experience this once in a lifetime.The next morning I’m surprised that we did not have breakfast with his friends and colleagues. Instead, we rode a yacht and sailed through the sea and had an explicit breakfast. I can’t help but to gawk at the islands that we are passing by. As we go further, the sea becomes clearer and clearer.The sunshine is like a fertilizer for my dying physique. Gladly, I wore clothes that are perfect for this one so I’m getting enough nutrients that I need. Wearing a tied backless top paired with a white loose pants, I stood at the side deck watching the clear water. Is this why they say that the sea is a vitamin for the soul? Because it feels like it.&rdqu

Later that afternoon, we came back to our villa. It was never the same again. I can’t look at him the same way again. For that short period of time that we are at the sea. It’s like a huge twitch of fate happened.I look at my phone while lazily lying down on the bed. I ran through Lulu’s messages. All of it is just about current updates regarding her ‘mission’ of finding my father.Lulu:I’m quite not sure about this. But according to my own investigation, your father was last seen at a port going to the east.My brows furrowed. Port?Lulu:And that’s just not it. It seems like he’s hopping from one place to another as if he’s running from something.Well he’s probably having the time of his life right? He had a lot of money to spend so it’s probably normal to act that way. But I’m a bit bothered, because one possibility is him getting caught by the authorities.But if that’s the case then why am I still out here? I ca

I silently sat at the table designated for us at the reception. Elijah seems a bit busy greeting the people that visits our table. It warmed my heart a bit seeing the bride and groom having fun in their reception, while I just enjoyed my solitude. At the middle of the speech of their friends, I felt Elijah’s hands on my palm above the table. My eyes quickly turned to him, a bit startled. I put my hand under the table then he held it again. ”Hmm?” Biting my lip I asked, because I thought he had something to say.His eyes were a bit sleepy as he looked at me. He shook his head lightly then smiled a little. I was about to retrieve my hand when he clasped our fingers to each other. I just bowed my head a bit then focused on the event for him to not notice that I got a bit affected. Some people still approach our table but I noticed that he’s quickly ending the conversation specially that I’m beside him.

Lulu: Done with that Mr. Anderson. Check your email.I hid my phone as soon as I read that. I saw Elijah glanced at me and I pretended not to mind. We’re going back to Seattle. He's been driving for a couple of hours now. I also can’t remember how many times I had a nap. ”You can watch movies if you want. I’m sorry I’m a boring company.” he chuckled. I smiled lightly and shook my head. ”My chopper is not available since there’s no helipad in Long Beach. I’ll work on that next time.” I don’t know how many times I could be more amazed about his wealth. It’s like he’s just blurting out those things as if it’s nothing. In fact, a month ago I’m using my body to make a living. ”We’ll stop by to have lunch.” Then we stopped at one of the fast food restaurants on the road. I
