A Warning

Norah looked left and right, to her brother and to the man in full body swimsuit and black sunglasses.

"So, who do you want to ride with, Norah?" Her brother asked while scratching his head under the scorching sun.

The private resort provided free watersport adventure with jet ski and it would be such a waste if they didn't use all the facilities.

Noah must be dying to ride with Clara, the brunette dressed in a white string bikini that matched her tan skin.

Norah had asked her how to achieve such beautiful tan skin and her answer was, "I don't know, Norah. You might not believe me but before I lived in the mansion, my skin is always tan because I loved sun bathing and it didn't take long to achieve this skin color."

Norah sulked, "I really want to be tan like youuu.. But no matter how long I stand outside under the sun, my tan skin wouldn't even last for a week! So frustrating.."

"I could help you apply a sunless tanning lotion, Norah." Liam offered. He was sitting with them at the beach bar and overheard their conversation.

Norah rolled her eyes at him, "No thanks. I can do it myself."

"Ouch, you hurt my heart." Liam rubbed his chest in dramatic ways.

The man had only one thing to do here, which is sitting in the beach bar all day long, drinking and flirting with sexy bikini clad woman. Furthermore, what kind of person wearing long sleeve shirt on the beach? The answer was Liam.

What an idiot.

"What's with your obsession of being tan? You are pretty enough in your own skin." He sipped his martini.

Norah slightly blushed from his compliment with Clara and Noah being there too. "Apparently, I'm not like someone who is afraid of sun. Just look at him guys.. Don't you find it weird that he always use long sleeve shirt in hot weather? Are you a vampire?"

"Hey, let the man be himself." Her brother said.

Liam chuckled, "A vampire? You are funny, Norah. You want to touch my skin?"

He raised one eyebrow and asked in a way like; 'you know how hot my skin was, right?'

Norah crinkled her nose, "No way."

Liam clinked her glass with his uninvitedly, "I know I know… You're dying to see my gorgeous body. Ups, sorry Noah. Just joking." He said after Noah sent him a venomous glare.

"Hey, look! What about we try jet-skiing? It's for free, right?" Noah suddenly said.

"Alright! Let's race!" Liam quickly drank the rest of his martini.

"I thought you're not interested in anything except sitting and drinking here." Norah judged.

"Let me enlighten you, honey. I loved to ride." He said and walked away to the shore before her brother could kill him there.

Although what he actually meant to say was he loved to 'ride' biker's woman.

Liam snapped his fingers in front of her face, her mind took her somewhere again.

"Norah?"

"Oh, I'll ride with Liam." She smiled at her brother.

He already changed to full body swimsuit and passed them the life jacket. The staff helped them prepare the jet ski, when Clara and Noah were not in the hearing distance, Norah had the urge to explain.

"Look, I'm not that desperate to ride with you but I have no choice. I want to give my brother and Clara some time together. Understand?"

Yes, that was one of the reasons. The another was because of their situation after that incident, it would be awkward to ride with her brother. The better choice was of course, Liam.

Liam was already sitting on top of it with comfortable position, both of his hands on the handlebars. "You don't need to explain anything. I know it's your way to push them together, so if Clara fell in love with your brother, Xander would be all yours."

"Haha, clever." She mocked.

Norah tied her blond hair, she didn't want it to get tangled. She took a seat behind him. Liam yanked her hand and circled it around his waist.

"Ready?" He started the jet ski ignition switch, and slowly began to push the throttle.

They cruised around in a slow speed until they were away from the shoreline. Noah and Clara were beside them. Norah laughed at her because Clara scrunched her eyes in fright.

"Clara! Open your eyes, it's fun!" Norah yelled out.

"Oh God! Why did I agree to thisss?" Clara tightened her arms around Noah.

Noah laughed out loud, "We are not even in full speed yet, Clara."

"What? There's more?" She shrieked and they all laughed at her.

Liam sped up and Noah followed.

"Hey, let's race pass that boat!" Liam challanged.

"Alright!"

The men increased their speed, even did some maneuvers, ignoring the two woman's startled scream.

After having fun torturing Clara and Norah, they were riding in normal steady speed just to admire the unrivaled view of the island colored in million shades of blue.

In this steady speed, Norah even had the courage to stand up behind him.

"Hey look, is that Xander?" Norah squinted her eyes.

A tall athletic man in white shirt, with black hair holding his suit jacket behind his back, standing there on the white sand.

"Oh yea, that's him. What is he doing here after our holiday almost end?" Liam turned his way to the shore.

Norah knew the answer. When she realized that Xander might never follow them to Bora Bora, no matter how many times she'd begged him to come. So she deliberately sent the picture she took on the first day they were here, the photo of Clara and Liam snorkeling together, hand in hand.

It proved to be super effective and further convinced Norah that Xander had feeling for Clara. The photo must've provoked the man to come here in the blink of an eye.

"Xander!" Norah ran to him after Liam turned off the engine.

She jumped on him, hugged and wrapped her legs around his waist, his suit jacket drop to the ground because he had to catch Norah before they fell.

Norah laughed, "Sorry.. I see that you're not in your walking boot anymore." She got down and looked at his face, the face she already missed so much.

But Xander only had his eyes on one woman. Clara.

Liam approached them. "Hey, man.. Thought you wouldn't follow us here."

He quickly catched something amiss with the situation. Xander just stared straight at something far away at the sea while Norah lowered her head so no one could look at her.

Liam was seething inside, his cousin must be so dense not to notice that whatever he did, he broke Norah's heart.

"Come on, Norah.."

Liam gripped her arm possessively but Norah tugged away from him and ran. Angered by her response, he chased her but after he gave a warning to Xander.

He clenched his white shirt, "Be careful how you treat a woman who loves you from the depths of her soul, Xander."

Xander just gazed at him with that colder than ice green eyes and smirked, "Said the man who had an affair with my so-called girlfriend."
