A love made from above

chapter 11

Olivia was shook when she saw Jason coming out of a black SUV at her gate. he was wearing a white shorts and a white shirtsleeve shirt. the top two button of his shirt was unbutton and he looks hot and gorgeous just standing there with the cool breeze blowing his shirt. his large sunglasses couldn't hide the excitement on his face as he rushed to her to help her without her bag. he made a face when he carried her bags. " two days? is this what you packed for two days?"

she punched his stomach playfully and he smiled, staring at her really short pink shorts and white tank top. He led her towards the car and opened the door for her. She smiled when she looked at the back seat. He had gone shopping already. she could see biscuits, cakes, crisp, paper towels, disposable plates, cups etc....h He went round to the other side of the car and got in. he took off his sunglasses and kept them on the dashboard.

" How long have you been planning this? it didn't take you long to get all this ready." she said pointing to the back seat. " I'm glad you agreed to come" he said. he tilted his head to kiss her and she closed her eyes waiting for his lips to meet hers but it never did. she opened her eyes and saw he was just hoovering and she wondered why he had stopped halfway. her lips met his halfway and she kissed him with urgency that made her think going on this trip with him was asking for trouble.

"Thank you" he wispered.

she nodded and immediately he started the car and drove off. she reached into her bag, pulling out her phone. " you know, I forgot to tell you not to bring that. I get very jealous of your phone. at least buckle your seatbelt before you start gossiping about us to your friends" us? hmmn. " oh please, don't flatter yourself" she said as she fasten her seat belt.

" seriously, we are friends on an outing....."

" I see, we are back to being friends" her eyes challenging his. was he not the one who had insisted on them being more than friends after the kiss at the movie?

"Well, we have to start somewhere, Don't we? we should be talking, having fun and enjoying ourselves and then later you can update your friend later" Olivia was shook. he looked at her rolled his eyes as if to say " you think I don't know?

the traffic was heavy and the sun was high in the sky. she was thankful for the comfort of the air-conditioned car.

" you look tired already, if the traffic is less, we should be there by four. he said while caressing her cheeks.

" Don't worry, you'll have the most peaceful sleep you've had in years. I hope you don't snore?

" snore"? she wrinkled her nose. the thought of both of them lying in bed halfnaked , arms draped over arms and legs entangled between sheets, made her sit upright and clenched her knees together. He smiled. he must have known what crossed her mind.

" this beach house had better be all you say it is, and even more." I haven't been to the beach for a very long time, the last time I was there it was my dad that took me there, she said looking out the window as if recollecting the memories.

I see you still miss him. you talk about him very often." she nodded. " I do. don't you, Miss your dad?" " very much" "what was he like?"

then there was an uncomfortable silence. " I can't believe we are talking about this now"

"tell me, Jason, would you have turned out better if you hadn't lost him? he shrugged, " maybe,maybe not" he looked straight ahead." I didn't say that to hurt you"

" I didn't think you did" he stared at he. the rest of the drive was in silence and she zoomed of to sleep.

" we are here" he said as he shook Olivia to wake her up.it was 6pm when they arrived and dusk was setting in. she looked around and stretched her stiff legs. They were parked a few meters from the building so she craned her neck to see from the distance. they were five other cars parked beside theirs and she wondered how they had all gotten here due to the sand.it was beautiful, it was quite and sandy.a row of coconut tree was growing in front of the houses on the lane. each house has a small picket fence and Olivia saw a seesaw behind a fence of the house in front. the building all have lamps with orange bulbs, leading to the house.the houses were covered in Palm springs and decorated with curved woods and bamboo sticks. He walked towards her , each step laboured as his feet sank into the sand. he opened the car door and helped her out. The pale sand was hot and she squeezed her hand on her knee as she stretched.

" wow" smiled. she pulled at his white shirt and held him for support as she took off her sandals. she looked up at him smiling before they walked towards the building hand in hand. when they were in front of the building, she sucked in her breath. he put his hand around her shoulders, watching the reflection of the light and the excitement on her face.

" this is what you almost missed"

" And I would have killed you if had allowed me to miss it " she said. they hugged. " thank you"

," Let's settle in first and then I'll come back to get our things. she counted the cabins. there were ten of them on a straight row. the view look like something out if a picture.

" I have to take a photo of this"

" For Stephanie I'm sure" he replied.

" yes, she has to see that I'm in heaven"! she said as she took a picture of the lane. she turned to him to take a picture of him but he ran to her as she clicked away laughing. when he cought her, he lifted her over his shoulders and carried her to the front of their cabin. he unlocked the dead bolt and the gate of the waisthigh bamboo fence in front and he out her down on her feet.

As Jason struggled to catch his breath, Olivia mouth hung in awe. there was more sand inside the gate which made walking more difficult as they moved towards the door. He searched for the key when they reached the threshold and opened the thick mahogany door. it was really warm inside the cabin . he closed the door behind them. she was still standing by the door when he switched on the light and gestured for her to come in. There was a living room, which surprisingly did have any tv or video player. The chairs were a fine mixture of cane and bamboo. The table was a beautiful shade of brown was made from the same mahogany as the door. She sat on one of the chairs.

" let me go get our things," said Jason.

" I'll come with you" she said

" are you scared?"

" No, it'll be faster"

" Never mind, I'll be quick."

"Jason?" he turned to her " don't leave me here. I want to help bring our stuffs in"

He smiled. " you haven't even looked around yet. Hang on" he dashed out!.
