Heartbreak Story

Chapter 27: Insecure

ANNA'S P.O.V

The boys had a day off today and we decided to go to the beach to get tanned. I was nervous and worried to wear a bikini, that reminds me of what Leah said about me. I don't have a good body shape and I felt ashamed of my body.

"I'm so excited for today!" Carrie cheered as us the girls packed our bikinis.

"Me too! I need to color my skin even more, I look pale" Kelsey said, folding her towel.

"The weather is so nice, I can't wait to sunbath" Nareesha said.

I just sat on Kelsey's bed, listening to their conversation. I didn't feel like to go, I don't want to expose my body. I'm too ashamed.

"Are you okay baba?" Nareesha sat beside me, rubbing my shoulder.

I sighed. "I don't want to go"

"Why not?"

"I just.. I don't feel comfortable to wear a bikini" I stared at the floor.

"And why is that?"

"Because I'm ashamed of my body" I said quietly.

"Why would you even embarrassed of your body? I don't see anything wrong with your body, your body is beautiful" Carrie said, looking at my body.

"Anna, babe, you're beautiful, okay? I know how you feel. I used to be ashamed of my body, because I had and still have fat spots around my body. But Tom made feel confident, he taught me to not be ashamed of my body. Because girls are beautiful in their way" Kelsey rubbed my back.

I just smiled at them and we did a group hug. They are the best sisters I have ever had. We continued packing our stuff and headed downstairs to meet the boys, who are ready and waiting for us to go.

NATHAN'S P.O.V

We are going to the beach today! I'm so excited! I can't wait to sunbath with Anna, it would be a new experience. I finished packing my stuff and headed downstairs but heard a conversation in Tom's room.

"I don't want to go" I heard Anna said. I stopped and quietly listened to their conversation.

"Why not?" I heard Nareesha asked.

"I just.. I don't feel comfortable to wear a bikini"

"And why is that?"

"Because I'm ashamed of my body" she said it quietly but I could still hear it.

I couldn't believe with what she just said. Why would she be ashamed of her body? She is beautiful, her body is beautiful too. She is perfect. Why can't she see that?

I heard footsteps coming closer to the door, I quickly ran downstairs to meet the boys in the living room. I sat beside Jay, who's busy playing ninja assassins on his phone while Siva, Max, and Tom talked some random things.

Soon the girls were downstairs, bringing their bags. I saw a frown on Anna's beautiful face. Our eyes met and she smiled at me, taking a seat beside me.

"Are you okay?" I said as I intertwined our fingers.

"I'm good" she smiled at me.

"Don't lie to me"

She looked up at me. "What do you mean?"

"I heard what you said in Kelsey's room, that you are ashamed of your body. Why would you, babe? You are beautiful and you do have a beautiful body too. Don't be ashamed of yourself, you are beautiful inside and out" I brought her chin up so she could see me.

She smiled and kissed my cheek. "Thank you"

"Nathan I don't wanna do this" Anna said as we arrived at the beach.

The boys applied the sunscreen whilst the girls headed to the changing room. The whole ride Anna kept telling me that she doesn't want to wear a bikini but I kept convincing her that she would look good and pretty.

She is extremely insecure with her body. She worries too much, she doesn't even realize that she is beautiful inside and out.

"You will be okay, trust me babe. You will look beautiful" I told her.

She sighed and took her bag and headed to the changing room.

ANNA'S P.O.V

I sighed as I changed into a bikini. I'm still not used to wear a bikini. I don't feel comfortable on wearing it because it will expose my body.

"You will look beautiful babe" Nareesha assured.

I sighed. "I'm so nervous"

"Trust me, you're beautiful" Carrie smiled at me.

I looked at the mirror and saw myself. Damn I look sexy, but I'm too shy to go outside looking like this. I folded my t-shirt and walked out of the room to find the girls had their mouths opened.

"Holyshit you are so beautiful!!" Kelsey cheered.

"See? I told you you are beautiful baba, don't be ashamed of your body" Nareesha smiled and gave me a quick hug.

"Thanks girls, I really appreciate it" I hugged them back.

"Come on, let's go sunbathing and swimmiiiing" Kelsey threw her hands on the air, making us laughing.

We went back to where the boys at. Jay and Max had already on the surface whilst Siva, Nathan, and Tom still applying their sunscreen. Once Nathan saw me, his eyes widen.

"My God you're so beautiful, babe"

I blushed. "Thank you"

"And you're wearing my favorite color.. Mmm" he mumbled, trailing kisses on my neck.

"Nath.."

"Mmm"

"Oi you two! Go get a room!" Tom said as he covered his eyes playfully.

Nathan and I immediately pulled away, definitely forgot that we were in public.

"Sorry mate" Nathan laughed nervously.

"Come on then let's swim!"

We went on the surface. The weather was really nice, it was warm. It's the perfect time to color your skin. I looked at Nathan who's drowning himself and went back on the surface with his wet hair. Damn he is looking so damn hot.

"Oi come here!" Nathan said as he splashed water on me.

"It's rude to splash water on anyone" I rolled my eyes playfully.

Nathan smirked and splashing more water on me. I did the same to him and we ended up looking like silly kids who's splashing each other's faces.

"Okay okay stop it babe, come here" he said as he took my hand and pulled me closer to him.

He rested his left hand on my back and his right hand rested on my cheek, caress it gently. I wrapped my legs around his hips. He looked at me in the eyes, I'm always nervous when he looked at me like that. His green eyes looking straight deep into my eyes.

"I'm so in love with you" he announced.

"I love you too Nathan" I wrapped my arms around his neck.

He leaned in to kiss me. "I don't mind seeing you in this sexy bikini everyday"

I rolled my eyes playfully. "Not in a million years, Sykes"

He just chuckled then we joined the boys and the girls. We splashed water on everyone, enjoying our time together. Then we spent like an hour sunbathing until I felt a bit tired.

"I'm going back to the hotel room" I announced.

"Me too" Kelsey said.

"Us too" Carrie and Nareesha said.

"Okay be safe girls! Us the boys will be back in a bit" Siva said.

Us the girls just nodded and said goodbye to the boys. I gave Nathan a peck on the lips before joining the girls back to our hotel room which is just across the beach.

I took my towel and wrapped it around my body before taking my bag. We went back to the hotel room, to each other's room. I went back to mine and walked in the bathroom to take a quick shower.

Today was so much fun. I didn't feel that ashamed of my body. Nathan made me confident, just like how Tom made Kelsey feels that way. And I'm so grateful that Nathan just made me changed my perception about my body. That I will love my body more than I did. That I should have not needed to feel insecure about my body.
