First Impressions Don't Always Last

Samantha Curtis is in an arranged marriage with a very handsome rich guy 6 years her senior. On the first meeting, he downright turned the idea down. But circumstances happened and they ended up together with the condition that they shouldn't fall for each other. Can they keep up with it? Hello lovely people! This is my first time writing and I really appreciate it if you can support me and try to give my novel a read. I'll try to publish chapters as regularly as I could! :) P.S. The image I used for my book cover isn't mine. Took it from a free sharing platform and didn't cover the artist's signature.

Ballsy

"Here comes the lovely couple!" Nan said with the widest grin I ever saw in my life.

"Are your bags packed? I know it's tiring leaving right away after the wedding, but once you're there, you'll definitely feel relaxed." she smiled.

Nan arranged everything for our honeymoon. We'll go to the Caribbean islands. It was originally planned that we'll stay there for a week but Chace insisted we stay for 3 days. It was cut short but nevertheless, I'm excited! It's my first trip to the beach.

"Go enjoy yourselves and make babies! I'll be waiting to see my great grandkids." Nan said with a mischievous smile.

Chace looked at her with an embarrassed face. Wait, is he blushing?! Considering how he kissed me awhile ago, I think I should be the one abashed.

After the celebration ended almost around midnight, we got ourselves ready. Trevor drove us to the airport and when we got there, a private plane is waiting.

" Going to a private island on a private plane?! I'm really feeling like royalty." I thought to myself.

After all our luggages were arranged inside, we prepared to embark.

"Safe travels Mr. and Mrs. Levesque." Trevor bowed while bidding us farewell.

"Thank you, Trevor!" I said with a smile.

"Welcome aboard!" the flight attendant greeted us with a smile.

"Thank you. Can you please get the bed ready?" Chace said.

"Right away sir!" the pretty girl smiled at him seductively.

I frowned internally. Since I'm married to a handsome guy, I have to deal with things like this- random flirtations from unabashed women who are always ready to throw themselves at Chace.

"Bed's ready." Chace said looking at me like he's trying to read my face.

"The flight will roughly take about 4 and a half hours. We'll get there a little bit past 6 so try to get some rest." he continued.

"Oh. Thank you. How about you?" I asked.

"I'll pick up on some unfinished work. There are some things I need to check on." he replied.

"Okay." I replied curtly while easing my way in the covers.

Chace pulled the blanket up to my shoulders before sinking in the chair a few feet away from me.

I looked at him as he opened his laptop. Few minutes up in the air with the steady sound of the plane's engine, the tiredness started to sink in and I drifted to sleep.

I woke up to the captain's announcement that we will be landing soon. I got up from the bed and sat opposite Chace.

"We're you able to sleep at all?" I asked as we both started to buckle our seatbelts.

"I took a short nap." he replied.

After our plane landed and we got our luggages out, we were greeted by the manager of the resort.

"Good morning Mr. and Mrs. Levesque! My name is Omario, I will be attending to your needs so please don't hesitate to tell me if you need anything. I'll be guiding you to where you'll be staying. Right this way please." as he motioned us to follow him. Some other staffs approached us to take our luggages.

Few feet away I can already see the building but I got a bit puzzled as to why we didn't stop but continued walking south. After reaching a remote place in the island, we were greeted by a cottage.

It is stilted so we have to climb the stairs to reach the main door. Upon entering, that's when I realized that it's an open-concept floor. It's really nice and the pop of different shades of blue makes the place homey and beachy at the same time. The bedroom is huge and has French doors that open to a patio- where I noticed that our breakfast is already prepared.

"This is a really charming place." I said to Omario with a smile.

" I'm glad you like it, Mrs. Levesque." he said looking very pleased.

"We will be taking our leave now but if you need anything, please give us a call." he continued.

The sun has just risen so I happily went to the patio to admire the view and inhale the scent of the ocean. Chace followed afterwards and stood beside me.

"This place is such a paradise!" I said to him with twinkling eyes.

"Do you love the beach?" Chace asked.

" Honestly, it's my first time going to one." I replied.

" Let's eat breakfast then. We have a whole day of activities to do." he told me with a smile

After that nice breakfast, I got myself ready and changed into a white bandeau tie front bikini and wide leg beach pants. As I made my way downstairs, Chace is already there talking to Omario.

He's wearing a white long sleeve linen shirt with all the buttons open, paired with a drawstring beach pants.

"Ooh, hello there abs! You seem to be begging to be touched." I thought to myself as I struggle not to drool all over the sight of Chace.

"Ready?" he asked as I approached them.

He helped me strap in my life vest before climbing onto the jet ski.

"Hold onto my waist firmly. If you feel uncomfortable or want me to slow down, just give me a tap." Chace said giving me instructions.

"Got it! " I replied enthusiastically.

It was such a thrilling experience. The feeling of flying across the water with the wind in my face. We drove across the ocean and circled around. Chace must've figured out I already got used to riding so he decided to go faster. I pressed my body closer to his back and held on to him tighter. I got a bit nervous but it's very exhilarating.

We decided to stop when we saw Omario and the other staffs preparing our lunch. Chace helped me get off the jet ski as my legs wobbled.

"Are you alright?" he asked laughing while holding my arms to support me.

"Yeah. I guess I just didn't notice I was pressing my legs too tightly against the jet ski." I replied.

We rested for a bit after lunch and then Chace revealed our next activity- snorkeling. It was breathtaking seeing different kinds of fishes and corals. I felt like a mermaid. And not just an ordinary mermaid but a ballsy one as I decided to free dive and swim deeper. Chace followed me and we frolicked underwater swimming with the fishes.

Done with our energy-demanding activities for the day, we decided to walk on the shoreline and watch the sunset.

"Ah! This is so nice! Looking at the sky clear of tall buildings and just seeing the sun set below the horizon unadulteratedly." I said with full glee.

Chace just smiled as he looked in the same direction where my eyes are.

After dinner and shower, I plumped comfortably in the bed and reach for a magazine. After some time, Chace got out of the shower.

"I'll go sleep on the couch." he said

"The couch is short though. It'll be uncomfortable sleeping on it." I replied as I look up at him.

"Just sleep on the bed as well." I continued.

"But I like sleeping in just my boxers." he replied

"And?" I asked while looking at how I'm skimpily dressed myself as well with just a satin camisole and matching shorts.

"The bed is big enough to fit 4 people so there'll be an ample of distance between us. Not unless you're scared of losing control and taking advantage of me while I sleep?" I teasingly joked.

As if I sparked something in him, Chace leaned forward, his face just an inch away from mine and said, "Being frisky now Sam, aren't we?"

Free from all inhibitions since I know he's not interested in me, I decided to play along.

"So what if I am?" I asked not backing away.
