Camping at the beach.

Cara couldn't stop teasing me for the entire time we were packing our clothes.

"Did anything happen between you guys last night ? like..." I shoot her my death glare and she kept her mouth shut for a minute.

We packed all we needed while at the beach. we packed summer outfits, comfy sandals, snacks, sun screen and not forgetting black shades. We were now set to leave with Martins, our easy busy whom Cara has already counted as my husband-to-be.

"Let's go girls. Chris is waiting downstairs." Martins announced and we followed behind him obediently. He wore a short sleeve wind shirt and a pair of black waterman's shorts showing a large part of his toned muscles.

Cara wore a free round green dress and I had the same details with her. We comfortably sat in a Jeep Wrangler that was already parked down stairs. Cara took the passenger seat as always leaving me with no option but to join Martins in the back seat.

"Do you need some music?" asked Chris with half of his attention on the road.

"As you wish." Martins replied.

we had a happy drive as we sang and laughed throughout the journey. All the people around me were cool and I couldn't ask for me. Funny faces were seen in the car regardless of who is the boss and who is the employee.

Rein island.

We reached a little bit late because the others were already setting their tents.

"Here Mr Trevor, let me take it to the tent." Bella, his secretary, was at it again. She was setting herself in girlfriend mode once again.

I heard from Cara that Bella is from one of the richest family in the city but because of her love for Trevor Martins, she still decided to apply as his secretary inorder to get closer to him.

The famous model Carol was standing in her way for years but she patiently waited for her time to end. She knew that Trevor loved Carol so much but again she knew that celebrities seemed not to know what love is. All they wanted was fame and money. That's what Bella was sure of.

After all that, it was now her turn to be in Trevor's arms. She was willing to work hard for it. Trevor never looked at her twice so she knew that it would be hard to make him fall for her.

Caro looked at Bella and read her mind once again so she spoke first.." Don't worry Bella, we will arrange a tent for him." she pulled Linda's hand and took her on the other side.

"I told you that woman is not easy." she whispered to Linda and they both took a look at their side before finding a better place to set their tents.

Trevor also knew the meaning behind Bella's efforts but he didn't want to give her any hopes.

"Bella, it's a time for everyone to rest so I hope you can take this time into use. I and Chris will help ourselves first." He wanted to mark his lines. His heart longed for another woman now and he couldn't make any mistake now.

Linda and Cara set their tents in a distance from other employees since they wanted to rest and not to gossip. Chris also got Trevor's tent set and also his as well.

Everyone played with the water and some showed their swimming talents. it was a wonderful day to rest. Cara and Linda were now resting on the beach chairs under a palm tree. Linda sipped on her orange juice as she read through a book.

"Linda.." a deep but soft manly voice called from behind.

"Martins." she slowly sat up and simply took off her big sun glasses.

He simply say besides her and grabbed a book from her hand and flipped through a few pages then passed it to her again. "so you like reading historical fiction?" he asked.

"You can say so." she replied, placing the book on the side table.

"Linda"

"hmmm"

"Tonight after dinner, I will wait for you here. I have something to tell you." he exclaimed, leaving me curious about what he had to tell me.

"What if I don't come?" came my simple but twisted question.

"Then I will still wait. please show up." he concluded and stood up immediately leaving me dumbstruck.

It was soon evening and the starts were coming out slowly by slowly. We ate lots of BBQ to our satisfaction. We drank different alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. Some sang songs and we were all happy.

"Let's play a game." Brandon suggested.

"Yes, let's play truth or dare. We shall spin the bottle. if it points in your direction, you will have to choose between the two." Tryon suggested and everyone clapped their hands in acceptance.

They spinned the bottle and it pointed at Chris.

"Chris." everyone shouted.

"Truth or Dare."

"dare." he chose.

"I dare you to smooch Cara's lips." Selina suggested as she placed her hands together waiting to watch the long waited scene.

"Can you dare me to do anything else please.?" he wanted to dodge it.

"It's you who chose dare and now you fear facing your choices." Trevor teased.

"yes"

"yes"

Everyone looked at Chris as he walked close to Cara who was looking down all the time. Chris gently pecked on her lips and hurriedly turned around to sit back.

They spinned again and it pointed at Bella.

"Bella." everyone shouted in unison.

"Truth or Dare."

"Truth..A true woman is never afraid to face the truth." she said, with a clear smile registering on her face.

"okay Bella. I have a question for you." Brandon looked at her and continued..."do you have someone you love here?" she smiled at his question because that's the exact question she wanted to be asked.

"Yes, I love someone and that someone is here." She moved her eyes and stared at Trevor but again she withdrew her gaze since she didn't want anyone to be suspicious.

They continued spinning and I thanked God because my turn didn't come.

I went back to our tent and lay down to rest but I remembered what Trevor told me during the day..."I will be waiting for you here."

I quietly got up and left the tent. It was super cold and windy outside but again it was so relaxing at the same time.

"you're here." he said as soon as I stood beside him.

He was sitting on the sand with his elbows resting on his knees. The wind was pushing through his hair giving him a mighty look.

"hmm "

"You can sit here ." He gestured me to sit beside him before he handed me a coca cola can.

"Why do you suddenly call me here?" I asked while opening the soda can he just handed to me.

"Well, um... I hope you it takes you well." he looked at me and passed his fingers through his hair then continued.." I thought of telling you how I feel about you Linda. I really like you and.. and I want you to be my girlfriend." he quickly held my hand and looked in my eyes to figure out any sort of emotion. Good enough I was so under control tonight and his my emotions.

"Please say something Linda." he was now panicking.

All the he wished for right now was to get answer from here and a sincere one. He couldn't take no for an answer anyway. He patiently looked at her trembling lips until she uttered staring in a different location.

"It's just that this is too sudden. I wasn't expecting this from you but since you are sincere with how you feel, I don't mind giving it a try." she simply answered without knowing the impact that came with her words.

Trevor lifted her in his strong but warm arms and hugged her lightly as he turned around.

Bella who thought of coming out to talk to Trevor after she saw him sitting on the sand, felt her knees weaken at the sight of what Trevor did. Why? Did he not recognize her all this time? First it was Carol and she was patient. She waited patiently until they broke up and now...?

She clenched her fists in anger and ran back to her tent to cry it all out. She has lowered herself for this man. She has been taken as a mere worker for him, she's disrespected her own family for him but in the end he has confessed his love to this nobody who just came in his life.

'Maybe it was my fault in the first place not to tell him what I felt him. It's all my fault.' she thought to herself .

"I must reveal my intention of being his secretary and am sure he can't help but fall for me." she muttered and smiled bitterly to her words.

I woke up after sunset and the memories of last night hugged my mind tightly. I was so happy to be in a relationship finally. All I ever wanted was a man who sincerely loves me and not someone I had a crush on.....
