CHAPTER 12

ELISHA's POV

"Thank you, Ms. Guevarro and Mr. Buenevesta. We promise you that we will not disappoint you with the results of your choice. We'll send it to you as early as we can."

Brent and I gladly shook hands with Ms. Guevarro and his fiancé Mr. Buenevesta. I'm not wrong, they liked the designs we prepared for them.

She chooses three of my samples and her fiance also chooses three of Brent's samples.

"Thank you. Thank you. I'm looking forward to your early delivery, Ms. Falco and Mr. Sanderson." Ms. Guevarro happily responded to us. She's very pretty, as I expected. I think she'll fit in with what I did, as well as her fiance. Brent has good samples. I am also certain it would be perfect for the groom.

"You're welcome, soon-to-be Mrs. Buenevesta. We will assure you that," Brent smilingly said.

"Yeah. So, we will not stay long. We still have something to take care of. We'll go ahead." Mr. Buenevasta said. A very nice man. They looked good together.

"Yes, Sir. Thank you again and advance a happy wedding. You guys look good together." Brent responds happily to both of them. I nodded and smiled.

"Thank you, Mr. Sanderson. We'll go ahead." Mr. Buenevasta took his things and walked away.

"Yeah. Take care." We both waved at them, walking out of the building.

"We made it," Brent whispered happily. I looked at him, I gave him two thumbs up.

"Great job!" I said. "I like your samples, by the way," I added.

"Thank you. Ah, by the way, can I use your laptop? I have to send Sir Mateo the samples that they choose." He said while fixing our things on the table.

"Yeah, sure. It's in my room."

"Yeah. Thanks. So I'll see you later. Let's go snorkeling." He smiled at me before he left.

"Yeah, sure. Let's try that before going home." I replied to him before he could walk away from me.

When he disappeared from my sight, I walked out of the hotel. A fresh breeze and cold air came over my face. Ahhh! This is refreshing! Finally! We had just finished the job that Brent and I went to. We can enjoy it later before heading home tomorrow.

But wait.

Where's Nathan? I had been wandering around in the area ever since Brent and I were talking to our client but didn't see him.

Where is he?

I walked to the beach. Many people go sunbathing, swimming, and traveling around other islands abroad on a yacht.

I want to try it too, with Nathan. I want to enjoy traveling the whole island before Brent and I go home tomorrow.

"Hey! Isha!" Brent's familiar voice dominates in the distance. I thought that was Nathan. But it's not. I hardly looked at him. He was running towards me.

"Oh?" My mouth turned into a circle when I saw him in the distance. He's already here? Wearing a rash guard. Is he going to swim?

"Hey. Are you done?"

"I changed my mind. I'll do it later." He said when he got near to me.

"Is that fine?"

"Yeah. Don't worry. Let's swim. Get dressed up there. My older brother is in my room. He said he would join us," he said. There was a little bit of annoyance in his face.

But my eyes immediately lit up at what he said.

Really? Will Nathan be joining us!? Oh my god! This is what I wanted!

So, that's why I didn't see him outside. Was he in Brent's room? Wait for me there, Nathan. I'll make your mouth water in my suit. Let's see if you are going to turn your back on me.

"Yeah! Yeah, I'll get dressed. Hold on!" I quickly ran back to the hotel.

I am so excited!

—

I am now looking at myself in the mirror. I was watching myself closely. I am wearing a white two-piece suit I brought. Perfect! It looked so amazing! I can't wait for Nathan to see me.

I wore a big T-shirt and slippers before leaving the room.

Unexpectedly, I saw Nathan just come out of Brent's room. The tall, muscular, white-skinned man was wearing a rash guard. It was so fit in him that I could see the curve of his beautiful body from his chest down to his leg.

"H... Hi." I greeted him. My voice stuttered a little bit. He looks hot as always! It's mouthwatering!

"Hi. Are you ready?" I was distracted when he asked me.

"Uh... Yes." I smiled.

"Let's go." He walked first, heading to the elevator. I followed him.

When we got inside the elevator, I could feel the heat wrap around us as we descended to the ground floor. That's because the guy next to me is so hot. Even his back is good-looking. Urgh. I feel like a thirsty vampire when I'm with him. I want to bite him.

"Is that what you will be going to wear? T-shirt?" He breaks the silence as well as ruined my sexy imagination.

"No. Why? Do you want to see what I'm wearing?" I joked. I don't know what his expression was because he was not facing me, but I'm sure he was left speechless.

The elevator lifts sounded as we reached the ground floor. We both walked out.

"No. I'm just concerned."

"Concern? Of what?"

We got out of the hotel, walking in the current direction where Brent is. There was a boat there.

"Nothing. Come on. Let's hurry up."

Tsh. Concern? About what?

"Is the boat ready?" Nathan asked as the two of us reached Brent's direction.

"Yeah. Ready. Let's go. Ish, you ready?" Brent asked me.

I nodded. "Yes! Ready!"

"So, let's go."

Nathan got on the boat first. I followed. Brent helped me up. I was assuming that Nathan was going to help me but he didn't even pay attention to me. Instead, he was busy wearing a swim cap and snorkeling fins.

Did he really need to put that first instead of helping me? Jeez!

"Dan, let's go to the Black island," Brent said to the operator. Our boat began to operate, leaving the island. I sat down on the seat and watched the water catch our boat. The water was waving calmly. The weather is perfect too. Perfect timing for us to do the snorkeling.

"Ish, here's your swim cap, snorkeling fins, snorkel mask, and snorkel. Wear it later. OK?" Brent handed me what I needed for later.

"Thanks." I smiled at him and turned my gaze to Nathan. He wasn't looking at me. He just focused on the distant island.

Really? I am feeling so annoyed here!

How long will you go to act like this, Nathan? I'm sure you like me too. You're just holding yourself back.
