one day

✴Isabella Mariano✴

Heat dripped on my cheeks. His property? Shit. He can send me to jail for trespassing. I can't go to jail. One capture on my fingerprint, Santi could trace that I'm alive. Not that he was looking for me. to him, I was already long dead.

Kumag smirked, closing in the distance between us, his eyes obviously feasted on my bare stomach and legs. I was wearing Nike training shorts today and a pink sports bra. Every stride he makes, I take a step back. He was taunting me. This beach was endless, we can do this dance all day, I told myself until my foot hit a fucking spiky seashell.

Wincing in pain, I slump down and tend to my assaulted foot.

''Let me check on that'' without warning, he took my hurting foot on his hand, crouching beside me and checking my bruise as if he was a professional.

''It's okay'' I tried to take back my feet but his grip was too tight on my ankles. ''It's just a shell, I'll live.''

Kumag chuckled, his dark blue eyes showed genuine glee.

''Something funny?'' I snarled.

He shook his head, ''you know, Red. I've never met a girl who despises me as much as you do. My charisma is wounded by you.''

I rolled my eyes, ''give me back my foot.''

''No''

''What no? Give it back'' I yanked it back but to no avail. I laid on my back in surrender, allowing my back to feel the soft sand. I wish my problems were just like getting back my foot from this infuriating guy. In just a few seconds, I can render him unconscious and everything would be okay.

''I want you for the day'' his face hovered over mine, at least keeping a safe distance between us.

''I'm not a thing nor a prostitute'' he finally let my foot go, laying down beside me.

''No. Certainly not.'' he chuckled. ''It's either I get to have you for the day or I'll call the cops.''

I groaned, covering my eyes with my arm. ''No kissing, no touching, no hanky panky and I'm yours for the day.''

It's either I kill him or tolerate him. I don't plan on getting my hands dirty today, besides I have to get as far away as possible from Blue Oasis. Kon would probably look for me there.

''How about holding hands?'' he inquired, innocence lacing his voice. Though I knew he wasn't fucking innocent.

''No. No touching, remember?''

''What if you want to touch me?''

That had me laughing, my laugh echoing against the waves. ''I won't take advantage of you, Kumag.''

''Hey!'' he sat up, twisting his body glaring at me. ''I googled that word, I'm not either of what I read.''

I laughed. ''You actually look it up?'' sitting up, I held my stomach, tears pooling on the side of my eye.

''I have a name you know'' he huffed.

''What it is then?''

''Azure'' he spoke proudly.

''Like the color? Blue?''

He scoffed before smirking, ''isn't your name Red?'' his grin widened. ''We're a good match, Red.'' He leaned on his knuckles, leaning his face closer to mine. I leaned back as far as I could.

''Get off'' I pushed his shoulders.

''I thought no touching, Red?'' he teased.

''Just, don't get close to me'' I reasoned. Not knowing exactly what to say.

It's not like Azure isn't handsome, hell his hot and all that but all I can imagine kissing me is that icy gray-eyed… I shake that thought out of my head.

No thinking about him. He chose that girl over me.

''Red'' the infuriating guy spoke, he was now towering over me, his hand was open to help me. Without thinking, I placed my hand in his and dusted my legs off sand. ''You're breaking your own rules and it's not even noon.'' His brows raised.

I pulled my hand away from his. There was no spark in there, not like when Kon holds… Don't think about him!

I turned my back on him and headed for the escape route I know too well.

''Where are you going?''

''Home. I'll just change and get a shower.''

''No'' he commanded, and I turned around and found him glaring. ''You agreed. Whole day. It starts now.''

Did he have to take it literally? What are we, five?

''Kumag, I need a shower and change of clothing, unless you have a shirt my size?'' I challenge.

He smirked. ''Call me that again and I'll break your rules, Red.'' My mind had to process what he meant by that and he continued ''yes. I have clothes for you. Come.'' He tilted his head to the side and I cursed myself for talking to a kid.

Reluctantly, I followed him to a gravel path. It was a few minutes walk until a mansion came to view.

Palm trees surround the beautiful landscape of the house. Its contemporary design had my eyes wide open. beautiful would be an understatement. The three-story house had glass walls everywhere and white walls being tainted by the sunrise orange. There lies an infinity pool in front of us with clear blue water, the plants surrounding it even look expensive. Each floor had its own balcony that held an outdoor couch in each.

he must've lots of visitors in here all the time for it to be open like this.

He entered a passcode to open the door which I deciphered easily by the sound of each button and the distance between each beep. 1, 9, 0, 2, 3, 3.

The interior of the house was even prettier than the outside. The ceiling holds different shapes and sizes of chandelier matched together. The furniture was mostly made of wood white, light brown, and dark brown in colors. I swear I can see every lock of my hair on the shiny marble floors.

''Here'' I heard Kumag, erhh Azure spoke. He was holding two paper bags in front of me.

Peeking inside the bag, the dress and undergarments are definitely my size.

''All your girls are my size?'' my brows raised.

Azure chuckled, ''all my girls don't wear dress in front of me, Red.''
