17 Chapter 17

Fiona slowly opened her eyes. She had a good sleep last night. But, when she was awake, she felt something on her stomach. It felt like someone was pulling her. Her legs had intervened with some other person.

Her face was flushed with fear. She instantly turned around, and her forehead collided with something hard.

"Ow!!" Both said in unison.

Fiona was relieved to see Justin snuggling with her, but she blushed immediately. But because of their close proximity, both jerked and sat up

immediately.

"Shit! I am so sorry. I didn't mean to do that. I swear I didn't do it intentionally... I mean..." Justin started rambling like crazy.

Fiona burst out laughing, which drew a questioning look from Justin.

"It's okay. It's not exactly your fault. I like to cuddle." Fiona told him embarrassingly.

He sighs with relief. "Phew! I didn't want to upset you."

"You didn't."

They were both silent for a while.

"So, what is today's plan?" Fiona asked, breaking the silence.

"I was thinking about the beach." He answered.

"Okay, cool. So I will get ready... Or you want to shower first."

"Well, we can save time and water, you know." He teased.

"Dream on." Fiona said, rolling her eyes to hide her blush.

"Always." He winked.

"By the way, you look cute when you blush, and you can go and shower first."

She was as red as a tomato. So, to hide her flushed face, she immediately went into the bathroom. Then, she showered, changed into a robe, and went

outside.

Today was a great start to the morning for Justin. Finally, he could get used to the idea of getting up with Fi in his arms. After their little flirting session,

she went to take a bath. She came out wearing a bathrobe, and her hair was wet. He didn't want to seem like a jerk for drooling on her, so he immediately went to the shower.

During the whole shower, Fiona filled his mind.

He came out of the bathroom and found the sight in front of him gorgeous. In front of him was Fi, standing in all her glory.

She was dressed in half-pants and a white loose see-through tee, which allowed Justin to see the tank top she was wearing underneath. She wore flip-

flops. Fiona kept her hair open. She looked stunning despite her wearing no makeup other than a baby pink lip gloss.

When Justin came out of the shower, he was just wearing a towel. So Fiona immediately covered her eyes and turned around.

"Déjà vu." He was laughing. "I am not completely naked."

Fiona didn't respond to him and kept her eyes closed.

"Okay, I am going to change."

After a few more minutes, he said, "Done."

She turned around and took a breath.

"You are so innocent." He teased her and poked her cheeks.

Gosh, she is so innocent and cute. Justin grabbed her arm, and they both went out to have breakfast. After eating their snacks, they went to the beach. The beach was beyond beautiful. Even he was mesmerized.

Justin laid the mat on the sand and put the takeaway sandwiches and many other food items in their lunch on the blanket.

He glanced at Fi to find her looking at her surroundings, which were unfortunately filled with French boys. His fist was clenched. He didn't know why,

but a wave of jealousy washed over him.

He needed to calm his anger down, so he put in the earplugs and started listening to music. He was lying on the mattress, basking in the sun.

He saw that Fiona was reading 'A walk to remember.'

The sun was blazing, sharp, and piercing, so he closed his eyes. After a while, Justin felt something touching his arms. When he looked down, he saw Fi snuggling with him. She wasn't lying when she said she liked to snuggle. But, Hey! He didn't mind as he had the most beautiful girl in his arms.

She slowly opened her eyes.

"Morning, Fiona."

"Morning." She got up, rubbing her eyes.

It makes her look cute. She didn't jerk this time, so Justin assumed she was getting used to getting into his arms.

When both of them were fully awake, they ate their lunch. Each and every girl on this beach was drooling over Justin, but he didn't even take a glance at them. Instead, he was laughing and cracking jokes with Fiona, which made her feel elated.

After they ate their lunch, the couple decided to take a walk on the beach. They were walking hand in hand along the sea's edge. The moment was perfect.

"Want to race?" Justin suggested it out of the blue.

"Game on." She gleamed.

"Ok, so 1... 2..." Before he could complete 3, she ran off. Little did she know he was the fastest runner, unlike her. He could easily overtake her. When he

was a little ahead of her, he heard her.

"Ouch, ouch."

Justin panicked and went back to Fi. She was kneeling down and rubbing her feet.

"What happened? Are you okay? How stupid of me. Why would you groan in pain if you are okay?"

He gave her a concerned look that turned into a smirk.

"I would groan..."

She is slowly starting to get up.

"To distract you,"

She had begun to run at full speed and yelled.

"TO WIN THE RACE."

He ran behind her. "Not fair. You are going to regret it." He told her laughingly, and she was also laughing while running.

Their race quickly devolved into a chase game. Justin was chasing Fi. While running, he grabs her waist and pulls her to himself, and swirls her around.

They both burst out laughing and landed in the sand, with him on top of her. There was so much happiness and a glint in her eyes. Justin was glad that he

was the reason behind it.

He put a strand of her hair behind her ears and slowly kissed her forehead. He didn't know how he could control himself from kissing her baby pink lips.

He slowly got up and gave her his hand, which she gladly accepted. Then, she slowly leaned forward and hugged him. And he gladly accepted Fiona into his arms. Her head was on his chest, and he really hoped she wouldn't hear his fast heartbeat. Soon it was dark, so they headed towards the hotel. The hotel was not far away, so they decided to walk.

Suddenly, it started raining, and immediately, Fi ran towards the shade.

"Justin, what are you doing? You will get cold." Fi was shouting.

"Oh, come on. It's so much fun here."

He ran towards her and pulled her out of the shade. She tried to run again, but his grip was firm. He took her in one hand and swirled her around. And they were dancing in the rain. They were both laughing at the end of it. Finally, the rain stopped, and they were both completely drenched. As Fiona was wearing a white tee that was completely see-through, he could sense that she was feeling cold. So, he gave her his hood, which he was carrying with him.

Yes, the hood was also wet, but at least it could cover her. She was going to deny it, but she accepted it when Justin gave her a stern look.

"Thanks," She said gratefully.

After a few more minutes, they reached the hotel, and he immediately gestured to Fi to change. Justin gave her his tee-shirt as it was loose, comfortable,

and would keep her warm.

When she changed into the bathroom, he quickly changed his clothes and ordered some soup and hot Chinese noodles.

Fiona came out wearing his shirt, and it differed completely from her wearing his clothes in a good way. She was petite. Despite that, his shirt fitted her properly. It was up to her mid-thigh. She wore black leggings underneath them. She went towards the bed and covered herself with a blanket.

"I am sorry I shouldn't have asked you to get wet in the rain." Justin said with guilt.

"You are kidding me. I had a blast today. Even if I got sick, it was completely worth it." She said it with the biggest smile she'd ever seen.

"If you say so, then yes, the feeling is mutual. I ordered some soup and noodles. It is the best way to keep ourselves away from the cold. Do you want

anything else?"

"Nope, it's perfect." She stated.

"Yes, it is definitely perfect." He said, looking into her eyes.

A server came with their food, and they both ate it. The beach can make you tired. So soon after that, both were yawning.

It was time to sleep, so they both went under the blanket. Justin took Fiona into his arms, and the warmth spread throughout his body. The best part was that she didn't pull away. Instead, she snuggled closer.

"Good night, Fi." He said it while kissing her hair.

"Goodnight, Justin." She said. Though he wasn't able to see her face, he knew that she was smiling.

It was the first day of their honeymoon, and it was better than he had ever expected. He had never had so much fun with any girl in his life.

Justin happily drifted off to sleep with HER IN HIS ARMS.
