Costas

Alistair is putting sunscreen on Kanalaa's back when her phone rang.She answered it and without any greetings, the person asked, "By any chance you are in Estañosa Costa?"

They are currently at the sea shore planning to swim, the only plan they have for today as they are secluded and don't want to see any city related establishments during their stay.

"How did you find out?!" Kanalaa freaked out at her question beacuse she told no one about their trip.

"You posted a picture, babe." Jean replied like Kanalaa asked a no brainer question.

Jean is Kanalaa's best friend from high school. Kanalaa lived in Crestview while Jean stayed in Cara Costa, a place surrounded by waters but still urbanized. They've been apart ever since Jean went back home. But, they still sea each other from time to time.

Despite Jean telling her source, Kanalaa can't help but furrowed her brows. "Have you been here? How come you instantly knew my whereabouts?" She asked in confusion. The photo was just a portion of the island therefore, she didn't expect anyone to guess where they are.

Jean sighed not wanting to recollect any memory but she answered Kanalaa anyway, "I've been there when I was still with Charleson, unfortunately. Anyway, don't ask too much question. I called because I'm going to invite you in La Costa. Let's party with the locals," she excitedly beamed.

"You are aware I'm with Alistair?"

Meanwhile, Alistair continued to apply sunscreen on Kanalaa's skin from her back earlier now moves to her arms. He doesn't mind what they are talking about but obviously he can hear them.

On the other side of the phone, Jean rolled her eyes. "Of course, that's why bring your boyfriend with you, duh," she stated as a matter of fact.

Kanalaa sighed, "But I just wanted to enjoy the our villa and our seaside view. How about you come in our villa instead?" She confessed, their time in the island is to relax their mind, away from any bustling city nor crowd.

"Come on! It's just one night. Does that take so much of your time? Also, I don't want to intrude in your intimate time."

"You just did. How about I'll ask Alistair first then, I'll call you?" Kanalaa suggested to seek Alistair's opinion. After all, their vacation is meant to be spent with one another.

"Alright, bye!"

After Jean hang up, Kanalaa faced Alistair who's intently waiting for her to finish her call after he's done applying the sunscreen on Kanalaa.

"It was Jean. She was asking – no, she told me to go to La Costa to party. I told her I'll ask you first. Please tell me you don't want to go."

"I don't–"

"Just what I thought," she interjected when she heard the words she wanted to hear from him.

"Let me finish first."

"Hmm" she nodded, letting him say want he wanted to say earlier.

"I don't want to go if we will spend the night to–"

Hearing the couple of words and seeing the mischief on Alistair's eyes, Kanalaa rolled her eyes and cut him off immediately knowing what's running on his mind. "No, let's go to La Costa."

Alistair, sitting laid back on the sand just laughed on Kanalaa's reaction. Teasing her is really fun for him because he's getting the reactions he wanted to see.

Alistair reached his hand out to Kanalaa, a gesture inviting her to their plan of swimming. Instead, Kanalaa stared at him causing a pause for a moment, gazing at each other with affectionate smiles. The hues of the sun cast a warm yet bright glow over their figures, accentuating Kanalaa's radiant beauty in her red two-piece and highlighting the strength of Alistair's toned physique. A gentle breeze ruffles their hair, carrying with it the salty scent of the sea and the promise of a carefree evening ahead. Finally, Kanalaa held her hand out to reach Alistair and both emerged on the sea water, feeling the cold and refreshing effect of it.

"You're going down, Alistair!" she teases, winking playfully as she prepares another splash attack.

"Oh, is that a challenge, my dear?" A smirk dances across his lips as he ducks away, evading her playful assault.

"Absolutely! I'll show you who rules the waves!" She giggles, a playful glint in her eyes as she darts closer, attempting to catch him off guard.

"Careful now, you might just end up in my arms again," he teases, reaching out to pull her into a tender embrace.

She feigns a dramatic gasp, placing a hand over her heart. "Oh no, anything but that!" She melts into his embrace, her laughter mingling with the sound of the crashing waves.

Their banter continues as they enjoy the warmth of the sun and the joy of being together, lost in their own world of love and laughter.

As the night fell, the two lovers had their dinner. Nothing too fancy but cozy. In just two days, both felt rejuvinated. Both of them have been spending their days with work, a little for their relationship, and almost nothing to their oneselves. Indeed, being in the law industry takes away most of your time. Yet, they felt it was a great opportunity for them to grow as individuals in their career. Therefore, this trip is definitely a breathe of fresh air for them.

After having their dinner, they decided to roam around the area. Even before the sunset, they are already in La Costa and checked in for a place they can stay their night in because their villa has to be traveled by yatch or boat for it is secluded. Meanwhile, La Costa is more urbanized even though it is also surrounded with waters and is connected more on the roads compared to Estañosa Costa.

As the night get deeper, the two decided to head on the club first while waiting for Jean and whoever accompanies her. Apparently, Kanalaa forgot to ask her as she is focused more on Alistair and their intimate time together.
