LOGINThe lady in the sunny glasses smiled at I and Damien again. Her rhinestone earring made a little noise when she turned and pointed to a little tiki bar just ahead of us.
"The Island is a fun way of exploring life itself. Has wonderdul things in it too" she checked her phone for the fifth time. This tour was becoming boring.
I told Damien I would've rather stayed back at our Suite eating lots of Lobsters than having to listen to one more tour from this woman.
Damien squeezed my hands gently telling me to hang on. I don't even see the need for all these. The truck came to a stop and the lady hopped down. Damien helped me down by carrying me in his arms. I smiled sending him a kiss to his jaw.
"You both are lovely couples" she said. I smiled at her, a non-easy smile. I wish I'd remembered her name but it kept slipping off my mind. It's not important anyway. The woman is getting on my nerves. Has been for hours.
"Thank you" Damien said and placed me on my feet.
"So...would you like me to show you the tiki huts here? Or...there's a mermaid bar just up this road_"
"Actually....We would just like to sit and have lunch for a while" I cut in. The lady smiled and looked at Damien. Well, she's openly flirting with him. Should I knee her eyes out?
"Is that ok with you, Damien?" She asked. It's even annoying that she calls him by his name. Others call him Mr Forrest. The little nerve just had to know him from way before.
"Actually, it's up to my wife" Damien said kissing my cheeks and walking away after waving his phone at me.
I smirked and looked at the blonde lady. "So...Jaycee_"
"I'm sorry, what's your name again?" I asked.
"Um...Amanda" she said straightening her back. I stood up right too. She was easily towering over me in her high-heeled sandals while I just wore simple flip-flops but...The smile I was sending her right now, should tell her I'm not one to mess with.
"Amanda huh?...well seeing as I'm pregnant....my hormones are all over the place. you wouldn't like for there to be a beach incident would you?" I ask her but she shakes her head in utmost confusion.
"Jaycee...."
"It's Mrs Forrest for you" I tell her plane and she blinks severally. Her eyes dart to my stomach and then back up to my face.
"Mrs Forrest, I don't understand" she laughs nervously.
"You're openly flirting with my husband in front of me " I said and she grinned. "Now unless you want to get rightfully paid for this shit tour, I suggest you keep your hands to yourself" I smile.
"I would never" she said..."Damien is just a friend and...." We both sighted Damien walking toward us again and she shrugged. "It won't happen again"
Now we're heading somewhere. "Good" I grinned. She brushed her annoying blonde hair behind her ears and cleared her throat.
Damien came beside me entwining his fingers with mine. "That was Chloe. Why didn't she just call you?"
"Ah!... I left my phone back at the Suite" I said.
"Ok . So what now?" He asked me. His eyes darted to an uneasy Amanda and I chuckled at her behaviour.
"I'd like to have lunch now Darling" I smile.
"Of course. Amanda that'll be all" he said to the blonde and she smiled with a nod.
"Great. I'll see you two around" she shook hands with Damien. "Mr Forrest. " then she darted her eyes to me. I smiled stretching my hands out. She took it. "Mrs Forrest"
With that, she bounced back to her green truck and drove off.
"You're scary" Damien chuckled giving me a tight hug.
"She was getting on my nerves" I pouted. Damien kiss my lips before taking my hands.
"Let's get lunch then I'll take you round the Island myself" he grinned and I agreed with a nod.

It took us ten minutes to get to white sand beach. We were supposed to pay 50 pessos for a ride on a tricycle but Damien decided to get us our own bicycles.
It's been a while since I rode one. It was even more fun riding with Damien cause we played catch me if you can. Plus, the wonderful breeze that kept brushing my hair to my face. Everything was perfect.
We locked our bicycles to a palm tree and strolled to a nearby fancy looking hut. It had a huge sign that said Seafood bistro and then a crab on it.
"You're not going to throw anything up would you?" Damien ask me with a smile. I brushed his hands with the flimsy brochure I was holding in my hand.
We both stepped into the hut and the little bell above us rang. A funny dressed waitress came up to us and led us to a free table. Luckily, it was by the side and overlooking the beach.
"I love it here" I say to Damien.
His eyes scann round the hut. "It's quite organised" he commented and I laughed. "But I'm taking you to dinner at a seafood diner tonight" he said with a smirk.
"I'm sure I won't like there" I said with a frown.
"You'll love it"
The funny looking waitress came up to us placing two menus on the table. It's not so surprising the menu is on a wood shaped thing. After all, she's dressed like a sea goddess. With all those palms sticking out of her head.
I glared at the menu . I Would've loved to try grilled octopus with potatoes and olives but that made my stomach churn.
"Steamed sea bass with a rice noodle" I tell the waitress and she nods and looks at Damien who looks least interested in anything. I kick his legs under the table and he grinned.
"Sea bass with spring vegetables" he said and dropped the menu. The waitress walked away.
"This place is charming" I stare round at the fancy carvings on each wood pole holding the hut up. And the best part is, it overlooks the beach.
"Indeed" Damien growl.
I giggled looking toward the beach. I watched as the water washed up to the beach and the seagulls flew around. Some children were building sand castles.
"Nice meeting you two here" a voice said behind me. I turned to see Bethany grinning at us. She was dressed in a skimpy swim suit that hid little to nothing. I frowned and glared at Damien giving him the what is she doing here? Glare.
The sun was already going down and I've given Damien many kisses than I can count. We didn't only golf but barbecued. Rose came over and helped us with steaks. We found a shady spot with a wooden table and trunks like stools round the table. It looked man-made though but it was pretty."Thanks for the steaks, Rose"Rose smiled at me and nodded before going back to the grill. Everyone was much too hungry after the games to even talk. Chloe of all people was stuffing her face with potatoes and steak at the same time."We should do this every weekday Dammy" Elle said. I cringed at the name she called him because once upon a time, Bethany had called him that and it annoyed the hell out of me. Still annoys me."Are you planing to stay here much longer?" Damien frowned and I hit his leg under the table. He stared at me and I mouthed be nice. He rolled his eyes at me and dug his fork into his steak.
Danielle hit the ball so hard, we couldn't find where it flew to. It's a warm Wednesday and we're both playing golf and bonding over food and makeup."Do you think it ran into the trees?" Elle asked. She bent down and picked another golf ball."Guess so"I placed my hand to shield my eyes from the sun. Elle had told me to take a cap with him but I'd blantanly refused. I thought it'd be weird wearing a summer dress, tennis shoes and a cap. Oh and let me not fail to mention that I'm pregnant. Now I see she had a point."Do you hear that?" I asked Elle.There was a humming sound coming toward us. Like a truck but it didn't have that rugged sound. Elle dropped her ball down next to a hole and gave it a tiny tud. The ball rolled slowly along the well trimmed grass until it entered into the hole.I clapped my hands as Elle jumped up and down. That's her first win today.
Coming to the house Damien bought for us over a month ago again felt like coming into a totally different place. The place was transformed and looked pretty. Fortunately for me, Damien didn't change anything about the interior of the sitting room because I'd loved the modern yet vintage setting.And of course, I didn't fail to notice the double security Damien put up. Since the house was by the water side, I think he has this idea that I might be kidnapped again by water and all that shit. I don't even know all the crazy stuffs that go through that guys head. He thinks I'm a baby that need pampering!"Would you like a feet massage before Mr Forrest get back from work?" The plump lady in front of me asked. She's not Rose. This house has more maids than I could ever imagine. So Rose is like the head of them all. AND NO!....."I don't need a foot massage!" I state with a loud and clear voice, hoping sh
The moment we stepped back into the ballroom, Bethany's eyes zeroed on me and I gave her a little, tight smirk. She rolled her eyes and looked away. Haha sucker! Damien pulled out my seat and then excused himself. I was left with Bethany and some others at the table.I wish I had brought my phone so I didn't have to stare at her stupid face all the time. I dragged my hands over my tummy as the blonde by my side smiled at me. I smiled at her. She wasn't here before so I guess she just arrived."Hello. I guess your here with Damien" she said and I nodded."He's my husband" I smiled and she chuckled."Why, it's nice to meet you" her voice sounded English. Her thick accent also complimented her tight blonde bun and black Versache gown. I bet she has a black or silver sandal to go with it. Her eyes were also masked with thick mascara and smoky eyes. She's pretty and I'll hate to think she was one of Da
As I sat in the Limo, I tried not to remember the last time I and Damien were together in this same Limo. I had gone over myself that night.Damien squeezed my hands and I stared up at him. There's no telling what would transpire at this event. We might meet Alberto and we might not meet him. We might find out that he was the one who sent those kidnappers and we might learn that he's not the one. And even if he told us what we needed to know, how would we know that he was telling the truth??."Just remember to smile always and if you feel nauseous or sick at any moment, just tell me and I'd get you out of there" Damien went over the note of the night."Alright. You've told me that like seventy times now" I sighed and he chuckled.."I just want you to be happy and safe at the same time."The Limo came to a stop and I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. This wasn't one of chloes fa
I woke up with movement above me. I opened one eye slowly so I don't go blind from the brightness of the room. Damien smiled when he saw I was awake."Good morning, beautiful" he hummed and then planted a kiss to my lips. "I made you breakfast""Hmm...I like the sound of that" I grinned."Sure you do. Come" he took my hand and helped me seat up. I relax against the head board and he fetched a tray of what smelled like chocolate chilli tart. There was a rose by the side ."Damien. You're incredible" I brushed my nose against his. "I love you""I love you. Now eat before I loose my patience" he smirked."Pervert!" I called out and he shrugged. I found myself digging into the tarte and boy, was it good. Yes it was. I dipped my finger into the Marple syrup by the side and stuck it in front of Damien."Have a syrup" I teased."Are you kidding m
