Chapter 15
The Man Who Breaks My Heart
We were chatting and teasing each other while swimming in the pool. It was already evening, so we couldn't swim in the sea anymore, what if we get swept away or drowned, it's scary to swim at night.
Especially now that there's drinking, we really can't swim in the sea anymore because it's already night, and there's a lot of food lined up in a small basket near the pool, so if we want to eat, we can just get some from there.
"Imagine, the Sullivaño family is so kind, we're staying at their resort for free, and imagine all the food the chefs are cooking for us, since yesterday, we haven't been hungry at all!" Rowela said.
"That's right…" everyone agreed.
But me? Yes, the Sullivaños are kind, but the one I know? He's probably only kind when he's asleep, none other than Ryker.
"Hey, wake up!" See… even if this i***t is asleep, he's still not possessed by kindness.
"Why did you splash me with water, you ruined my meditation!" I said angrily, and splashed him back with water.
I had my eyes closed, leaning against the edge of the pool, with both arms resting on the cement to support my weight while my body floated in the water, listening to my friends.
I didn't know he would suddenly appear beside me. I saw him earlier on the other side, talking to some girls who were wearing even prettier bikinis, almost revealing their breasts, then… then… grrr…
"Meditation! What if you fell asleep while meditating and sank to the bottom and no one saw you, then you'd be dead, we wouldn't have a short-tempered girl anymore with the last name Corpez." He said.
I really opened my eyes and glared at him.
"You, huh! You probably want me to disappear from the world. You're thinking too far ahead. FYI, this… this… this beautiful face of mine is going to live a long time, so don't you dare." I said, placing the back of my hand under my chin to show this guy my face, now delighted to see me fuming at him. "Besides, Sebastian and I are getting married and starting a family, so shoo!" I added.
It's nothing, I just wanted to tell him, even though it's not true, that Sebastian and I are going to get married.
"You see your future together with him, huh?" he asked, but his jaw was clenched. What's his problem?
But I smiled. "Yeah! Who knows, and if that happens, that we get married, then you're my flower boy," I said smiling, then I just laughed to myself because I couldn't imagine Ryker as a flower boy. Walking down the aisle while scattering petals.
"Huh! Funny," he said, rolling his eyes. He's really an i***t. He doesn't want to be a flower boy. "I'm leaving, or I might claim you while I drown you at the bottom of the pool just to see who's tougher." He said softly, but I could hear him, but I didn't understand. Tsk.
He got out of the pool and left, I guess he's done swimming, whatever.
Since there were only a few people left swimming in the pool, I swam alone, so I could make the most of using it, because maybe the next time we meet or have a reunion, we won't be at this resort.
My other friends were already chatting and drinking alcohol, while I just had juice because I don't want to drink alcohol, I haven't learned yet, and I'm scared that I might end up somewhere if I get drunk, according to my research, there are different types of drunk people.
I don't want that to happen to me, especially if you suddenly vomit everywhere, or you start to get dramatic while speaking English, maybe when I'm really drunk, I'll cry in front of Sebastian, I don't want that, and maybe I'll even say the line I saw in the movie, "It's me, it's me again!"
"Stop it, you witch, or you'll get a stomachache!" Rowela shouted, but I just rolled my eyes. Spoiler…
"I just got out of the pool!" I just said to myself.
I can't swim, I just learned. So now, I'll make the most of it while there's no one else swimming.
"If you want alcohol, juice, just get some here, you witch!" The witch shouted again. I ignored her and continued swimming.
After a while, I felt thirsty and at the same time, needed to pee, so I got out of the water.
"Oh! Where are you going?" Rowela asked jokingly.
"To the moon!" I replied. So they laughed even harder.
"I thought you were going to sleep!" I ignored her and just waved while turning my back.
I went to the gazebo because that's where the mineral water I wanted was. I wanted to drink pure water first before juice.
As I approached the gazebo, I heard… an argument? And I actually knew one of them.
I tied my hair up and tightened the towel wrapped around my body, after drinking water, I'll go to the bathroom to shower and change, I lost my appetite to swim again, knowing that I'm almost the only one left swimming.
Almost all of my classmates were having fun near the pool, some were even singing because Jerry, Sebastian's classmate, brought a guitar.
As I stepped onto the gazebo stairs, I saw Ryker glaring angrily at Solomon, holding a glass, it was definitely water because it was clear, it's just unclear what made Ryker so angry, it's like he wanted to kill our classmate, and Victor was just sitting on the side.
I approached and snatched the glass from Ryker's right hand. "Can I have this? I'm thirsty," I said and quickly gulped down the glass of water. Wait! Why does it taste different? There's water like this? It's definitely mineral water. But I finished it anyway because I was really thirsty, and it was from Ryker, or maybe it was just the alcohol I tasted in the water. This is probably what he used for his alcohol.
"Ha! Finally… my thirst is gone. Thank you… oh, why are you staring blankly?" I asked, Solomon and Victor were no longer at the gazebo.
"You drank it all?"
"What kind of question is that, oh can't you see, you probably saw that it's empty, you're still asking!" I said sarcastically.
But the i***t just clenched his jaw.
I frowned and crossed my arms. "Why? Don't you want to share now? Just tell me and… and…" I couldn't finish what I wanted to say because I suddenly felt dizzy and at the same time, hot. s**t! What's happening? "Excuse me," I said to him because I probably need to shower. I walked quickly to the shower room.
When I got inside, I just cursed because there was no water. "Why now?"
"What happened?"
"You jerk!" I slapped him on the shoulder because he suddenly appeared in front of me, or behind me. "The shower room here by the gazebo is broken, is your room close to this?" I asked. "I really want to shower, but there's probably someone showering in our guest room bathroom. It's probably the same with the others." I said and didn't wait for his answer, I just walked straight to his room upstairs because I felt different.
I feel like I have a fever.
As we were approaching his room, I took off the towel so I could shower directly because I was really hot, and now I was only wearing my two-piece. It's easy later.
"Wait! Why? Are you getting a stomachache or are you cold? That's what happens, you've been…" He said laughing, but I just glared at him.
When I entered the bathroom, he also entered to hide whatever was on top of the sink. I looked around to see what was in his bathroom. It's really different from the room and the guest room.
I turned to him sharply, but I suddenly froze, he suddenly became handsome in my eyes.
"I told you to wear a rash guard, but you wouldn't believe me." He lectured me while busy opening the shower water so it would be lukewarm.
I walked towards him. I walked slowly. I don't know why my body is reacting like this, as if it wants to be taken to a place where only the two of us know. I'm thinking of different scenarios while looking at the guy I'm with now.
"Go shower, it's lukewarm n-" I didn't let him finish what he was saying, I immediately kissed him on the lips.
"f**k! Aubree… what are you doing?" He tried to pull my lips away from his.
"Kiss me back, please… please… Ryker…. " I begged.
"What? Wait, are you drunk?"
"I guess so?"
"You said you wouldn't drink? Who gave it to you?" He asked angrily.
"Of course, you… please kiss me… back," I moaned his name as I brought my lips closer to him again.
"What? Me? How come… f*****g s**t… s**t?" I furrowed my brow at his constant swearing. I stared at him blankly.
"I'm sorry… I mean, I'm not cursing at you!"
"Curse me as much as you want, just kiss me now, please…" I said. I don't know what's going on in my mind, why I'm so eager for him.
"But you're drunk, Aubree Lynn! I can't do that!" I went up and down because of his answer. I didn't like it. I moved away from him. I didn't realize that one of my breasts was exposed because one of the straps of my two-piece was loose.
I pointed at my chest angrily.
"If you don't want to, then I'll just go to Sebastian!" I said angrily, and was about to leave the shower room when he grabbed my arm and immediately put both hands on the back of my neck and kissed me.
"Hmmm…" I moaned.
He looked at me in the eyes. Anger? Regret? Love? I don't know. It was a mix of stares, mix of emotions. I couldn't look at him. It made me dizzy, what he was showing me.
"Just kiss Aubree, only kiss, hmmm…" he said and brought his lips back to mine. I clung to him even tighter, I put my arms around his shoulders for support because I felt like I was going to fall to the floor anytime, he put his tongue inside and kissed me without hesitation.
This was the first time this happened, instead of just a shallow kiss. This… passionate and demanding.
"Ryker…"
"This is mine from now on, Aubree Lynn. These delicious lips of yours. This is belong to me and no others f*****g man who will kiss you like this. I owned you from the start and I'll make sure until the end." He said, then he picked me up and leaned me against the glass door of the bathroom.
He deepened his kiss while pressing his lower body against me. I felt his bulge there. Hard as a rock.
"Claim me now, Ryker! I want you… please.. own me now," I whispered tearfully to him.
"No… no… Aubree. This isn't the right time, I'll marry you first before I claim you. Did you hear that… huh?" I shook my head. Again, I didn't like what he said. "f**k! Aubree…" he called out because I lowered my top bikini.
"I… I feel hot, Ryker!"
"f**k! Alright… alright… I'll go out first and you can shower!"
"What, no! That's not what I mean. I feel hot and I don't know why," I said tearfully. "If you don't want to, then just call Sebast–ughhh.."
"Stop mentioning his name. Stop calling his name because you don't really need him, it's always me Aubree. It's always me. Now what do you want me to do?"
"I want you!" I said without hesitation. I don't know where I found those words, but I wanted something different, besides a kiss, I wanted something else to happen, my body wanted something different.
I don't know why I felt this way. "Please…"
"You don't know what you're saying? Your body wants something different, Aubree, not just a kiss but more than that."
"Then f**k me…"
"Aubree…"
"What's the right word, huh? Claim me. Put your pet in me! Is that it?" I couldn't help but cry in front of him. We were both frustrated because we wanted to, but it felt like it was forbidden, our bodies were wet from the shower.
His jaw was clenched, holding back what we both wanted. "Yes, that's what I want to happen, but I know you'll regret it tomorrow." He said and kissed me deeply again.
