This Isn't Just Pretend

Chapter 8 : Good Morning

I woke up to Sebastian whispering in my ear, which was a rather peaceful way to wake up. “Good afternoon, sleepy head,” he grinned down at me. He was to my left but his torso was also propped up above me. He looked handsome and way too good for having just woken up. His hair was still a tousled mess and I could tell by the way we were both wrapped in the blankets that he hadn't gotten out of bed yet.

“What time is it?” I mumbled out, pushing some knotted hair out of my face.

“It's already lunchtime,” he chuckled. “We're getting a late start to the day, but I'm still confident that there's a lot we can get done.”

“Like what?” I mumbled out.

“You're cute sleepy,” he chuckled. “I figured we could go to some beaches. Do some snorkeling, see some coral reefs, go swimming, stuff along that line and then maybe tomorrow we could go visit some parks and such,” he told me.

“How long have you been awake to plan?” I questioned as I rubbed my eyes and began to sit up. I realized after starting to sit up that he was still above me. I bumped into him, throwing off his balance and causing us to tumble down to the bed with him mostly on top of me. I blushed a deep red while he looked amused. He picked up a lock of my light brown hair and twirled it in his fingers.

“I've been up for about an hour.” We were so close to one another that my breath caught in my chest and he noticed. “You okay with me being this close, girlfriend?” he asked with a playful tone on the last word.

“Y- yeah,” I stammered out.

“When was the last time you were this close to someone?” he whispered, dropping the piece of hair and tracing my cheekbone down my face causing a shiver up my spine.

“Uh- well, technically Adrian?” I let out more of a question.

“How about the last time you were this close to someone without it being just s*x?” he asked, still in a whisper causing tingles to shoot up my spine.

“Uh-- uhm,” my brain wasn't working with him this close to me. He smelled like the beach and cedar with a hint of rose from the spa the day before. It was almost intoxicating.

“Am I distracting you?” he grinned innocently. I simply nodded my head. He got even closer to me and for a moment I swore he was about to kiss me. His lips got so close to mine but he shifted his head so he kissed right beside my lips, just barley.

And then he unwrapped himself from the bed sheets and got out of the bed. “We have a long day ahead of us, love,” he said before heading into the bathroom. I laid in bed in complete shock for a few moments before forcing myself to get up. I went over to my suitcase and picked out my cutest bathing suit and cover.

My bathing suit was black with a frilly top and some strappy crosses over the dip to show off my cleavage. The bottoms were high waisted, but strappy over the sides of the bottoms to show off some skin on the sides of my pelvis and torso.

The cover I chose to go with it was pure white, with frilly pom poms at the bottom of the cover. The cover dipped into a nice v, again providing a nice view of my cleavage, and the sleeves came down to just above my elbows. The cover was flowy and comfortable while still being very cute and flattering.
