CHAPTER ONE

"GWEN!!! COME ON WAKE UP!!!" I quickly got up from bed when I heard my mom shout at me from downstairs.

"Gwen, go take a shower." My brother said while getting my comb from my bedside table.

"Hey! That's mine!" I shouted at him while he was walking away.

"Really? It's mine now." He teased while running away.

"Asshole." I whispered.

I went to the shower and started taking a bath. We have a family outing today. After shower, I packed my bag. I put my sunblock in, my wallet, extra clothes, and some essentials.

I wore my bikini as an underwear so I wouldn't change later. I'm too lazy.

After that, I put on my white t-shirt and some short denim shorts. I also wore my sandals, my sunglasses and my beach hat.

Yes, we're going to the beach! It's the first day of summer break and next back to school, I'll be a college freshman.

"GWEN FASTER!!!" Mom shouted again.

"Coming!" I grabbed my bag and went downstairs. The smell of food caught my attention so I checked the kitchen to know who's cooking.

Gosh it's Ash!

"Hey! What you doing?" I asked while slowly walking towards his back to take a sneak-peek of the food.

I just noticed that he's just wearing black shorts with nothing on top but he's wearing an apron.

"I'm cooking your lunch for later so you wouldn't have to buy expensive meals at the beach." He whispered, not looking at me and focusing on what he's doing.

"Mom could do that, you should've just rested."

"It's okay. I volunteered since you and your family were busy getting ready." He smiled at me so I smiled at him back.

"Thanks."

"No problem, Marg." He chuckled.

"Yeahhh, you should stop calling me that. It's embarrassing."

"Whatever, Marg."

I just pouted at him and he laughed. He started giving each of us our lunchboxes.

"Thank you, Kyle!" My dad said while tapping his shoulder, He just nodded.

"So! Let's go! I already started the van!" Dad shouted so the whole family could hear it and we all started walking out the house, including Ash.

While my mom is locking the door, I took my chance to say Goodbye to him.

"Goodbye, Ash! I'll miss you!"

"You'll be gone half a day, Dummy."

I laughed and started to wave at him while walking to the van.

He also waved at me and walked towards their house, right beside ours.

"You bitch! Marry Kyle Already!" My brother teased me the moment I opened the vehicle's door.

I raised my middle finger at him and he dramatically held his chest, acting he was hurt.

"You idiot." I whispered so he wouldn't here clearly.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" He shouted, unfortunately, Mom caught him.

"Cut it out, Grey!" Mom scolded him, causing him to cross his arms and look quietly to the window. I giggled quietly while my dad is loudly laughing at the driver's seat.

We got going and after 2 hours of travelling, we finally arrived in Boracay!

(Boracay is a famous white beach in the Philippines. It's a very famous tourist spot.)

We went straight to our hotel room. One for Mom and Dad, One for my Brother, and One for me. Each of us has our own jacuzzi, which is nice! The only difference is that Mom and Dad's room is bigger than ours.

My room consist of one queen sized bed, one bathroom with a shower area, bathtub, a toilet bowl and a marbled sink.

I also have my own dining counter, which is also made of marble material. There's also a microwave and an empty fridge. On the bedside table, there's the telephone, a lampshade, and a room scent thingy.

There's also A vanity table and chair, also a mirror.

After placing my bag beside the bed, I took off my t-shirt and shorts which left me on my bikini. I put on my see through coat after. I walked out my room and locked it and went straight to the beach. It's a walking distance.

Before taking a swim, I took selfies and posted it on Instagram, I'll look at the likes and comments later.

I also bought a smoothie at the store which is made from bamboo. I sat by the counter and took a picture of my drink and posted it on Instagram again.

After that, I left my wallet and my phone at the Guard house where people leave their stuff before going swimming.

I ran to the sea after leaving my sunglasses, hat, and coat on my family's table under the big umbrella.

Oooh! It's cold!

After swimming, I got off the water and walked towards our table.

"You're chubby." My brother teased, again.

"I am not!" I scoffed and took all my things before going back to my room.

I went straight to my jacuzzi and drank my red wine. After I had enough heat, I stood up and dried myself. I put on my see through coat again and sunglasses before going out the terrace, holding a glass of wine.

I was just leaning by the railings, admiring the sea when something caught my attention.

I looked to the side and I meant someone. SOMEONE caught my attention.

He was wearing beach shorts and nothing on top. What a nice body you have!

His hair was wet and he brushed it back with his fingers. I was staring at him until he caught me! So I looked at the sun.

"Ooooh! Now look at that! So brightttt!" I dramatically said while pointing at the sun, not knowing what to do next. He's just looking at me, quietly laughing. I furrowed my brows at him and took off my sunglasses.

He suddenly stopped.

"What are you laughing at?! Huh?!" I angrily said. I'm not funny! I'm pretty!

"Miss, Are you drunk?" He chuckled.

"I am not!" I said and walked back in my room.

I threw myself on the bead before breathing deeply.

Damn, that was awkward.
