8 Ocean and Us

LUNA

I moaned because of my severe headache. I drank very little last night, a. Why is he in such pain? I was about to get up but something heavy stopped me. When I opened my eyes I immediately saw Dylan asleep. His arm was wrapped around my waist and his thigh was running over my thigh.

What does this mean? Next to me, Dylan slept?! W-We were side by side and h-he hugged me. Did I dream?!

"It's still early." He growls. He pressed his head even tighter on my neck. My hair stood on end because I could feel the heat of his breath there.

My headache seemed to go away suddenly. "D-Dylan?"

"Shit!" He cussed. He stood up suddenly. He didn't look at me. Bewildered he opened the balcony door and went out there.

I sat down and leaned on the headboard while smiling looking at the door Dylan walked out of. I looked around and saw the basin with only water and a towel hanging there. I also noticed the glass with only water and next to it there was medicine. Looks like he took care of me last night. I felt joy in my heart as I imagined Dylan taking care of me. It's a pity and I'm not serious because I'm drunk.

It’s still the dress I’m wearing so I don’t have to worry anymore. I took the medicine before standing up. I walked towards the balcony door. I approached Dylan, he was lighting the cigarette in his mouth.

I sighed. "I didn't know you were smoking."

he exhaled smoke. I immediately covered my nose so I wouldn't sniff it. It's hard, I might even have an asthma attack. "Don't be carried away. You're just my wife because of a mistake. Don't butt in."

Back to normal.

I bit my lower lip. "Thank you for taking care of me."

he extinguished the cigarette and faced me. "Get dressed, we'll have breakfast downstairs. Aunt Vivian will also take us around the whole villa."

I wondered. All I know is we were only here one day. That is what was agreed upon. "Huh? We're not going home yet?"

"Do you want to?" He says coldly.

I shook. "I mean, maybe you still have meetings--"

"I'm cancelling. Everything. I want to loosen up for a bit. This place is a great spot." He said as he rolled his eyes around.

"Okay." I simply said before turning away. I immediately went into the bathroom and took a shower. I hope I can marry Dylan now, the one he doesn't talk to businessmen or he doesn't have a girlfriend. It's just me. But where am I?

I finished taking a bath, I just realized that I had forgotten my clothes outside. I wrapped myself in a towel and went out the door. I stopped when I saw Dylan sitting on the side of our bed. he was well dressed and I noticed his hair was wet. Maybe he took a shower in the bathroom in the kitchen.

"Leave the room, I'll get dressed." I don’t know where I got the courage to command Dylan.

The corner of his lip rose. "After taking care of you last night, you'll just tease me now."

My knees shook because the wind suddenly blew. The balcony door was not closed so the air came in. "I'll get dressed so you go out."

He got up and approached me. I would have backed away if he hadn't just touched my waist. Our faces are almost close. There was a playful smile on its lips. "Go on. Put your clothes on or else .. you'll catch a cold."

I averted my gaze. My grip tightened on the knot of the towel. "No. Not in front of you."

"Maybe you want me to dress you?" He raised his hand. I sighed when I saw him holding my bikini top. There was a twinkle in his eyes that I could not read. "I won't mind."

I quickly picked that up. "Disgusting!"

I struggled to hold it. When I got away I immediately grabbed my bag that was on the side of the bed and ran into the bathroom. I'm already confused by what Dylan is showing me.

He was tired of hurting me. So now he is playing with me.

I came out of the bathroom after I got dressed. I can't stare at him. "Come on. I'm hungry."

"That's right, Luna. Keep on using that fierce mask of yours. Let's see how far you can go."

I was silent as I followed Dylan. He stopped at the elevator and pressed the Open Button. When it opened we immediately entered. We were the only two in there. I felt Dylan's hand holding my hand. His grip tightened on my hand when I tried to take it. I want to be mad. I want to get lost. I want to criticize them. But I can't because I might lose the little things that only make me happy.

He presented me to him. "You're trembling. Are you this scared of me?"

"I can't understand you anymore."

"Me neither. This is not me."

He pressed his body against mine and lowered his head to take my lips. What started soft, barely a brush of our mouths morphed quickly into something much more passionate.

"Oh, my!" We broke up suddenly because of that shout. I wiped my lip before looking at Aunt Vivian. "I didn't see. We didn't see anything, did we, Skyler?"

Just now I noticed Skyler was on Aunt Vivian's side. It was as if something had pierced my heart when I saw the pain in his eyes. His eyes dropped to Dylan and I's hand which to this day was still glued together. I bowed. I don't want to see the pain in his eyes.

"Aunt."

"It's okay for you to come down. Skyler and I plan to pick you up, eh." Smilingly Aunt Vivian said. "Breakfast is ready. Such morning surprise. Let's go."

Skyler walked first and then Aunt Vivian. We caught Dylan.

"Why did you kiss me?" I whispered but enough for Dylan to hear.

"Not now, Luna." He says so strongly.

"I need answers. Now." I'm already confused by what Dylan is showing.

He looked at me. "'Do not be annoying."

I haven't spoken yet. I walk ahead of him. We stumbled upon a seafood restaurant. In this restaurant, you will peel your food yourself because seafood is said to taste better when you peel it yourself. The only spoon is the rice. I sat in the chair to Aunt Vivian's left. Dylan pulled up a chair next to me. Suddenly the restaurant door opened and Kristian and Trey entered. They laughed as they approached where we were. Almost all of the women are distracted as they walk. They were not wearing tops so their perfect bodies were obvious. I even heard a spoon or fork fall.

"She tied me on the bed, Dude!" I heard Kristian say. Boys! I noticed that Aunt Vivian was rubbed on her forehead.

"Wait. Are we talking about Cindy Escudero?" Trey asked. They don't seem to care who can hear their conversation. Proud Ass!

"Yes!" Confirmed by Kristian. They both kissed Aunt Vivian and then sat down next to her.

Trey laughed. "Great lay."

"Kristian. Trey. Do you want me to cut your sinful tongues?" Tita Vivian said calmly. He probably didn't want Kristian and Trey to talk either.

Trey nodded. "No. 'Ma, my tongue is my second asset."

"What's first?" I turned to Dylan as he spoke. He looks like Trey and I have vibes. He looked at me when he caught me looking at him. I immediately averted my eyes.

"Can't you guess it, man?" Can't believe Trey said. "Of course, it's my di ---"

"His dimple." Skyler sighed immediately. I looked at him. Even though she was smiling I was still aware of the sadness in her eyes.

Trey kissed Skyler. "It's my dick, you douchebag."

Boys talk, damn it!

"What? Man, your dick doesn't exist." Kristian said laughing.

"Boys! Your topic is disgusting!" I can't help but say. We're at the dinner table so that's what they'll talk about. Grabe.

"Manners," Tita said and ate some crab meat. "Just eat."

We have already started eating. As I was peeling the shrimp, I noticed Dylan was having difficulty peeling the crab. Seriously? He doesn't know how to peel a crab? I sighed then approached him.

"Not like that," I whispered to him. I took the crab from his hand. "Like this. Remove it first and then you can open it."

He nodded. I put the crab on the plate.

"Shrimp. Peeled off my shrimp too." He whispered to me. I felt his hot breath in my ear.

"Okay." His lazy.

I peeled the shrimp on my plate. I was about to put it on Dylan's plate but he took my hand and eat it. My hair stood on end when I felt its lip on my hand. He doesn’t interrupt our gaze while munching on the shrimp. Both my cheeks got hot. My heart seemed to jump when he did that.

Suddenly the table shook. I was shocked so Dylan and I lost sight of each other. I turned to Skyler who was now walking away from us. He slammed the door shut.

"What happened there?" Astonished said, Aunt Vivian.

Kristian and Trey looked at us at the same time. I bent down and bit my lower lip.

"Diabetes." They said at once.

"By the way, I can't tour you anymore. I have a visitor coming. So ..." Tita Vivian said with a smile.

"It's okay, Tita. My wife and I can handle it." I looked at Dylan. My husband.

"Okay. It's like these two, looking, fo girls. I'm sure." Tita smiled at her two children.

"'Mom, you're still our number one girl, eh. We're your baby boys, aren't you?" Kristian said laughing. He drank the spoon with only rice and the dish in Tita's mouth. Tita ate it and pulled her hair from her ear.

After they ate, we immediately took a walk on our own. To this day I still can't get out of my mind what Dylan did earlier in front of them Tita. I can't get to ask Dylan why he did that, because I'm turning a tomato into the red. Dylan pulled me onto the jetskis. I was stunned when he took off his fitted shirt and faced me. I also took off my sarong and the only thing left was my swimsuit. I saw his muscle tensed and his eyes roamed my body. I immediately felt ashamed.

He held out his hand to me.

"You sure this is safe?" I hesitate.

A smile flashed on her lips. "Uh-huh."

"I-It's just you. I don't know how to swim." I backed away. "Just carry me more there."

I was about to turn around when suddenly there were arms around my waist to stop me from leaving. I gasped as I felt Dylan's hard chest behind me.

"Trust me a little bit, Wife." I could feel his warm breath in my ear. But that didn't stop me.

He called me his wife.
