It's our second day here and I'm feeling a bit better than yesterday. I'm thinking of taking a dip in the pool so, I am wearing a plain black two-piece bikini. "Liza I'm going to the pool. Are you coming?"

"Yeah just let me get dressed," she goes to her room.

I begin to walk towards the kitchen to grab a snack but, there's a knock on the door. I furrow my eyebrows and shout to Eliza, "Liza did you order room service?"

"Um, yeah I think I asked for more towels."

"Alright," I move to the front door and open it, "Good Morn-," I see Emilian looking down at me with a sad smile. I won't lie, he looks good.

I didn't realize I missed him as much as I do right now. The more I stand here, the more I'm tempted to just jump into his arms.

He steps towards me placing his large hands on my waist and he pulls me close to him. No, no, no. "I miss this." Me too.

I say nothing and he throws his head back letting out a deep breath. "Baby I know I messed up but, please talk to me."

I look away and ask, "Do you have swim trunks?"

"Yeah," the corner of his lips tilts up.

"Wipe that smirk off of your face before I kick you out." He immediately puts on a straight face. "I'm going to the pool. If you want to talk then join me."

"I'll be there in 5 minutes," he replies. I nod my head and walk off saying, "Remove your eyes from my body."

"My bad," and the door shuts. Pulling out my phone, I text Liza.

══════════════════

Me: Emilian and I are going to

be talking by the pool do you mind

coming out when we're done

Liza🖇: I'm on a call with Luci so,

I'll go to the pool later

Me: ok🙃

══════════════════

When I get outside, I immediately go over to the shallow end of the pool. I slowly step down into the warm water so that my body can adjust to the temperature. I then hear the sliding door open and close.

I glance up to see him already near the pool. "That was quick."

"You look really sexy and I couldn't really take my time." I look away blushing.

I start to walk towards the other end but then the pool has another step that causes me to drop lower to where my chin is just above the water. I don't know why my immediate reaction was panic but I did.

"Seb, help I'm drowning!" I shout.

I feel him lift me by my butt and I wrap both my arms and legs around him. He lets out a loud laugh, "Baby chill, I got you."

I hit his chest playfully, "Stop laughing Seb. I almost drowned and now my hair is wet," I say pouting. I see him glance at my lips and look back into my eyes smiling.

"You can put me down now." He slowly drops me into the deep water. "No, no, no Emilian! Sit me on the edge of the pool."

He laughs at me again, "You should have seen your face." He puts me on the edge and wraps his arms around me so that his hands rest on my butt. I won't lie, I miss his hands being all over me but, I'm going to try not to show that.

He stares into my eyes but, I look away because I know he's trying to trap me. I nervously tuck my hair behind my ear and adjust my bikini top.

"Baby I'm sorry. I understand where you're coming from so, tell me what you want to know and I'll do the best I can to answer." Biting my lips, I think of what I want to ask first. "Please don't do that if you're not going to kiss me."

I cover my face blushing and say, "Hush and let me talk." I move my hands to his shoulders, "Who hurt you that night."

"Someone who doesn't like me being with you."

I look at him shocked, "What the hell? Why would someone hurt you for that?"

"Because baby, you're a gorgeous person with a beautiful personality and anyone would be lucky to have you."

"But, that means it's my fault that you got hurt. I'm truly sorry Seb," I sincerely say to him.

"My love, it's not your fault. I don't care how much people stab me because I'll always be happy that you chose me."

I giggle, "Shut up, don't word it like that, you're making me feel guiltier."

"It's ok because it wasn't your fault. Now, what else do you want to know."

"Who took the photo of us?"

"The same person who hurt me. I wish I knew exactly who it was but, I only know their motive."

I sigh, "That's scary Seb. I don't think I'm going to feel safe with you gone anymore."

"I know and I didn't want you to feel like this, which is why I tried to avoid this conversation but, I understand it had to happen."

I nod my head, "Ok I have one last question, and please answer truthfully. Why were you ignoring me that night and refusing to tell me that you were leaving? I feel like all of this could have been avoided if you had just spoken to me."

"Honestly, I knew if I even looked you in the eyes or even said a proper goodbye, I wouldn't be able to leave. I was extremely pissed when Lucian told me he needed my help but, that's my brother and I couldn't not go. I know it was stupid, however, at the time it seemed like the smartest thing to do at the time. I'm sorry."

I pull his face to me and say, "I forgive you, baby.  I understand but don't ever do that again." I smile and peck his lips a few times. "I love you."

"I love you too," his eyes moves from my eyes to my lips. "Can I get a real kiss?"

"Maybe," I giggle.

He smirks, biting his lip, and as our lips are about to touch, the glass door slides open.

I look up to see Liza and Emilian doesn't bother looking back, he just places his face between my breasts. "Sorry for interrupting but, do you guys want breakfast. I'm getting a breakfast platter, what do you want?"

"Baby are you hungry," I ask him. He shakes his head yes. "Yeah, we'll have that too."

"Ok," she steps back inside.

"Come on, let's get ready. I want to explore the island today," I tell him as I comb my fingers through his soft hair.

"Can we do that tomorrow love? We just got back on good terms."

"We can go on a tour together, then we can come back to cuddle and chat."

"Fine," he huffs and lifts me out of the pool with him.

"Love, why don't you move your things into my room?" Seb asks me as we walk along a path holding hands.

"Because I don't want to leave my sister alone and we're not staying here forever." Turning to him I wrap my arms around his neck and pout, "Baby I'm hungry, exhausted and, I want cuddles."

He pecks my lips, "You want me to carry you on my back?"

"No, I'm too heavy. I can walk."

"Hop on my back."

"I'm fine to walk Seb," I reassure him.

"Alright, come on."

As we stroll back to our room, I see a group of females looking at my man."Baby those girls are staring at you."

"I don't care," he looks down at me. "Are you jealous?" he smirks.

"Hell no, because I know you're too obsessed with me to even think about another woman."

He chuckles, "You didn't have to say it like that but you're correct though. I love you too damn much." He leans down and says, "Give me a kiss," he puckers his lips and I peck them.

"Ok let's go, baby, walk faster." I look around at the scenery and how it all looks so peaceful. "Can we take pictures together?"

"Baby, you know I'm not photogenic."

"This cannot be the same man who has tons of modeling pictures online."

"I was forced to do that because I hate going to those sessions. But more importantly, you googled me?" he smirks. I've been caught.

"Only because I was meeting you for the first time. I barely knew anything so, that's what I had to do."

"Don't worry, I did my research too," he tells me kissing my temple.

My jaw drops, "Really Seb? But I'm not even on google."

"I found other ways. I had to know who you were and I was not disappointed because I met the love of my life."

"When did you realize you liked me?" I ask him curiously.

"The night I picked you up from the airport. You looked gorgeous even when you weren't trying and there was an unspoken connection. I knew you felt something for me so, I went for it. But, I have to admit, at first I was trying to distance myself from you so that I could respect your decision of us having a professional relationship. Fortunately, for us, I couldn't do that."

"Hmm, whatever. I don't believe that I'm that easy to read but if you say so." I take out the key and unlock the door.

He walks in behind me and I turn around to push him out, "You have work to do and I need you to look over a few documents before I send them out."

"Can't you just send them? I trust you." He leans his face down to my lips and glides his hands down from my lower back to my butt.

"Seb no, I need them by tomorrow," I say softly because for some reason I can't speak up when he's too close to me.

"Fine, I'll be back in about an hour. Lips," he leans in and I kiss him.

I place my hands on my waist, "Is this a new thing now?"

"Mhm, that's my way of asking for consent when I'm not sure if you want to be touched. But, I'm not asking when I know for sure you want me to kiss you." Aww, he's so cute.

"It's ok Seb I'll tell you when I feel like that. Like right now," I smile so that he doesn't feel bad.

"Damn baby, alright." He removes himself from me. "I love you, call if you need me."

"I will. I love you too, mwah."

I close the door behind me and go straight to my bed to take a nap until the food arrives.
