BLAIRE

I woke up to soft little k*sses brushing along my shoulder. I'm not sure

what time I went to sleep last night, but Sebastian surely takes his time

with me. I can barely recall that the sun was almost up when he finally

decided to let go of me and let me have some rest. He's insatiable as

usual, and even until now, I couldn't keep up with his stamina.

“Hmm...” I groan in defiance as I try to brush him away. I'm still tired

and wanted to get a little more rest.

I heard a soft chuckle, and the vibration of his voice resonated against

my skin. “It's already twelve in the afternoon. You need to eat

something,” he whispered as he continued to plant small k*sses around

my neck and shoulder.

“Hmm, go away.” I groan once again as I try to cover my face with the

pillow, hoping to hide away from him.

He chuckled. “You can continue sleeping after we eat. Come on. Get

up,” he said.

I took a loud breath before removing the pillow covering my face. “I

doubt that,” I said, glaring at him.

My reaction earned a playful glint in his eyes. I was taken aback when I

noticed how soft his expression was right now. It brings me back to the

time when I first fell in love with him. He's got a gentle smile, a

charismatic aura, and mesmerizing eyes. The rays of sun brushing

against his tan skin give a glow to his usual handsome face. He looks

more carefree today than he did the first time I saw him after so many

years.

My eyes softened upon realizing how innocent his smile was. It was as

if he completely got into this charade of forgetting about what happened

between us in the past. Right now, we look like a normal couple,

spending some quality time on this beautiful island.

“You can stare at me all day, but at least have something to eat,” he

teased me when he noticed that I'd been staring at his face for quite

some time now.

I gulped before quickly averting my gaze away from him. I gasped for

air when he gently held my chin so I could look him in the eyes once

again.

“You look more beautiful when you blush,” he complemented me as our

faces were

inches away from each other.

I was holding my breath as I awaited his next book. I was already

expecting a k*ss from him, but I was completely disappointed when he

didn't. He let go of my chin and put enough distance between us.

“Let’s eat,” he invited me as he walked towards the table right around

the corner of the cabin. I can already smell the delicious food that he

prepared for us.

But as realization hits me, guilt engulfs my whole being when I

remember that I haven't called my son since last night. I don’t know

where he put my phone, so I have no other choice but to ask him. I

grabbed the white robe hanging on the edge of the bed and

immediately wrapped it around my b*dy to cover my n*kedness. I tied it

tightly around my waist before walking towards the table.

“Sebastian, where's my bag?” I inquired, breaking the morning stillness

with a directness that caught him off guard.

His charming smile faded as he processed my abrupt question, a stark

departure from our usual morning pleasantries. “What? No morning,

greeting for me?” He retorted, his tone laced with sarcasm.

“Firstly, it's already twelve in the afternoon; a “good morning’ seems a

tad belated,” I countered with a touch of sass. “Now, can I have my

bag? I need my phone.”

A shadow crossed his features, his expression growing sombre. “No

phone until we've had our meal,” he declared coldly, a command that

hung in the air between us like an unspoken challenge. The room

brimmed with tension-a silent clash of wills as our morning routine took

an unexpected turn. What lay beneath the surface of this mundane

dispute? I wondered, sensing a deeper current in the ebb and flow of

our interactions.

My irritation deepened into a persistent frown. “Sebastian, I need my

phone!” I asserted, the urgency in my voice underscoring the gravity of

my request.

“I've already told you, you'll get your phone once we've finished our

meal,” he reiterated, his tone firm and unyielding.

“I can't wait! I need to call someone!” I retorted, my desperation

beginning to surface.

An eyebrow arched in suspicion, and he questioned, “Who are you

going to call, your boyfriend?”

“It's none of your business. Now, give me my phone!” I snapped, my

patience unraveling. The image of my son, Blaze, waiting for my call

since I left the hospital yesterday fueled my impatience. I needed to

assure him that everything was okay back

home.

“I believe I haven't been clear,” he sighed, sounding as though issuing

a warning. “You're not getting your phone until we've finished eating.

Am I clear?” His words hung in the air, a clash of wills as my need to

connect with my son collided with his steadfast resolve. The tension

escalated, promising an imminent showdown in the battle of priorities.

“Sebastian, don't be absurd! I'm not your prisoner, okay? I gave you

everything you asked for last night. The least you could do is let me

have my phone. If you're concerned, I might call for help. Relax. I have

no intention of leaving until I fulfill my end of the bargain.”

He scoffed, a dismissive sound that grated on my nerves. “You're

acting as if you regret what happened last night. Let me remind you

that you were the one screaming my name in pleasure. It doesn’t sound

like someone who doesn't want to be here,” he retorted, a cutting

remark that stung with both accusation and arrogance. The room hung

heavy with the aftermath of our heated exchange, the unspoken

tension weaving an intricate dance around the fragile boundaries of our

entangled desires.

Inhaling deeply, I endeavored to quell the rising frustration within me.

Arguing seemed futile, so I closed my eyes and pursed my lips,

contemplating how to persuade him to relent.

“Sebastian, can you just give me my phone?” I calmly implored, altering

my tone in a bid to appeal to reason. The silence that lingered between

us held the weight of unspoken negotiations, my plea hanging in the air

like a delicate balance on the verge of tipping.

He looked me straight in the eyes, probably weighing whether he

should heed my plea or not. My blood boils when I finally hear his

answer.

“No. You'll get your phone once we're done eating,” he firmly insisted.

“You're ruthless. You can eat all of that by yourself. And I hope you

choke to death!” I said, glaring at him as my nostrils were flaring in

anger. I can't believe he’s doing this. I'm already willing to make

amends with him, so we can both enjoy our stay here. But here he is,

trying to get on my every nerve.

“It's your choice, Blaire,” he said before he sat in front of the table and

started eating.

Unbelievable! He's so annoying!
