Her already closed eyes widened in shock. What... what did she just hear?
He wanted her to follow him?
She lifted her head and looked at his face. She was still taken aback.
Maybe he was just joking. She was hoping he would say it was just a joke with a wry smile. But all she could see was his expectant look, waiting for her positive reply.
"What do you think?" he asked slowly, hopingly.
She sighed. She never planned to follow him for the tour. She was already busy with her modelling job and would be starting her practical training too. She would not have time for anything else.
"Don't answer now. Take more time to think," he said quickly when he saw the helpless expression on her face. He knew she was about to reject his proposal and he did not want to hear it.
She closed her eyes and buried her face against his ċhėst. She would do as he said, think more about it.
*~*~*~*
"Ryn, you're finally awake`" Mika cried as she jumped onto Ryn when she saw her best friend standing at the door of her chalet. She did not even bother to cover the lovebites all over her neck and decollete as she was too happy to see her best friend finally ready to enjoy the day.
Jeremy ċȯċked an eyebrow before he looked behind Mika where Jason was rubbing his nape sheepishly.
"You should make her more exhausted. How come she has so much energy early in the morning?" Jeremy asked his best friend.
"She drained mine," Jason shrugged without a lick of shame.
"Baby," Mika gasped in horror to hear the conversation between the men. She looked around and let out a relieved sigh. Luckily only the four of them were here. She did not know where she could hide her face if someone else heard this.
Jason laughed as he pulled Mika from Ryn. He hugged his wife and kissed her lips lovingly. "It's just a joke between us. Don't take it personally."
"Hmph..." Mika did not look horrified anymore as she was drunk in his loving care.
Ryn shook her head in bemused. It seemed like marriage suited Mika so much. She looked happier and peaceful in the arms of the man she loved. She looked at Jeremy who was gazing at her silently.
"What?"
"Are you jealous of them? We can be like that too," Jeremy suggested.
"Why should I be jealous? I am happy for Mika," Ryn shook her head in disbelief. He seemed to be in a weird mood recently. She had no idea what was on his mind.
"Alright, you two. I have booked us breakfast so you two should get ready," Jeremy quickly told the couple. He then turned to look at Ryn, "Let's go back. We'll wait for them at our place."
Ryn nodded dumbly. She thought her 'neighbours' were ready for breakfast but it seemed like her arrival has become their alarm clock as they just got up. Luckily, though, Mika remembered to wear Jason's shirt or she would be in her birthday suit when she opened the door.
Both sat on the chaise they sat on last night. The sun was behind their chalet so the ray did not hurt their eyes. They gazed at the open sea.
"Have you thought about what we discussed last night?" he asked suddenly as she was getting sleepier listening to the wave.
"Hmm...?"
He turned and rested his head on his palm as he looked at her. "Follow me to the tour. Accompany me during the tour."
"Still that?" she murmured sleepily. Her eyes were getting heavier by now. The waves could be an effective lullaby in her opinion.
"I am serious, love. I would like you to accompany me during the tour. I don't think I can wait for four months before we met again."
"Four months? A world tour?" she asked without thinking.
"Hmm..."
"I have a schedule already," she replied.
His expectant face paled. Her calendar was already full? But he did not remember she had anything waiting for her after the honeymoon.
"What do you mean?"
"I'll get my result soon and will start my training," she explained sleepily.
"Love," he started, preparing to inform her of what he, Mika and Mei Li have arranged for her training.
"Yoohoo, we're ready," Mika's cheerful voice interrupted Jason's plan. His shoulders dropped as he sighed heavily to see his girlfriend stand up to welcome his little sister and her husband. Such a spoilsport.
Ryn did not say much to see Mika and Jason wearing a couple-shirt. Mika paired it with a white flowy skirt while Jason chose a pair of black jeans. She simply held Mika's hand and walked into the golf cart that has just arrived to pick them up for breakfast. Both women sat side by side while the men sat behind them.
They reached the restaurant in almost ten minutes. That was how far their chalets were to the restaurant. However, instead of stopping there, the cart was still slowly driven following the small lane. Mika and Ryn shared a look.
"Jeremy, where are we going?" Mika asked without looking at her big brother.
"Breakfast," came his simple answer.
"But the restaurant... we've passed it," Mika choked out as she looked at the other guests who were enjoying their breakfast. She rubbed her stomach sadly. She was already starving!
"I know," Jeremy replied with a smile.
"Is there another restaurant?" Ryn asked carefully. She held Mika's hand to calm her down. She understood why Mika was getting frustrated. Jeremy was deliberately trying to test their patience by not giving a full explanation. Was it so hard just to tell where they were going instead of giving them the answer 'breakfast'?
"No," came his answer.
Jason hid a grin when he saw how the women were trying hard not to lose their composure. He eyed his best friend and wondered why Jeremy suddenly wanted to 'punish' Mika with his non-answer answer?
They finally reached their destination. The women gasped when they saw the umbrella protecting a table full of food. Seeing the smokes from the food, these were left not long ago. Maybe the waiters just put them once they were getting closer here. Both women shared an excited squeal as they let the men help them down the cart and walk to their breakfast.
"A variety of seafood for our breakfast as well as pastry and porridge," Jason commented as he looked at the spread food on the table. As it was not a huge table, everything was packed until it was hard for him to see the surface of the table. He shook his head in bemusing. Why did it feel like the amount of food was because of Ryn, not because there were four of them?
Mika and Ryn were too happy to comment. They sat on their chair and started to eat their breakfast. Jeremy patted Jason's shoulder and joined the women. They had their breakfast while enjoying the scenery of waves hitting the white sandy beach. As it was a private beach, no one was there except them. Even the cart was no longer there. It has returned to its parking lot at the main building. It would return to pick up the couples once it received the instruction to go there.
After breakfast, the couples decided not to return to their chalets first. They walked along the beach with the men holding their lady's slippers. Mika also took the chance to record as many memories as she could with her phone. At one time she was recording a video and at another time she was busy taking pictures of her with Jason or her with Ryn. If Jeremy did not insist, she would even forget about Jeremy's existence. She was too happy to care about her stupid big brother.
They returned back to their chalets an hour later. Both women were so exhausted that they silently agreed for a short nap. And without even discussing it first with the men, Mika made a decision to share the bed with Ryn. She, without apologizing or asking, went into the chalet Ryn and Jeremy shared, following her sleepy best friend, and flopped onto the bed tiredly after kicking her slippers away. Ryn did not reject her best friend at all. She was too sleepy to care about anything else.
"Mika," Jeremy ġrȯȧnėd but his little sister ignored him. He put his hands on his hɨps and glared at his sister but there was no reaction from her. He was about to open his mouth to shout at her when someone put a hand on his shoulder to stop him.
"Just let her be. She's too exhausted. Let her have a nap here," Jason said gently. He then went to pull the blanket to cover his wife's body snugly. He smiled as he ċȧrėssed her sweet little face and then leaned down to drop a kiss on her little nose.
"You can rest at my place," he told Jeremy as he walked toward the chalet next door.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
