Elena still had her eyes closed, but in fact her consciousness had been awake since a few minutes ago, at least half of it.Because Elena hasn't opened her eyes yet, she doesn't know what time it is, but it must be quite afternoon. The sun's glare hit her and it made Elena immediately roll her body into a prone position. She hugged her pillow tightly, which was soft and fragrant with flowers and a mixture of fresh aromas that she doesn't know what to call. Elena really likes this scent.Elena liked the scent so much, she kept sniffing until she found an area with a stronger scent. Elena immediately hugged the pillow, which unfortunately wasn't as soft as the previous part. This part feels harder and hairier.Gosh, this hotel is absolutely perfect, providing pillows of all kinds.Wait, hotel?Elena immediately remembered where she was, and that made her immediately open her eyes.How surprised Elena was when she saw Reid lying beside her. And even more surprised because Elena's hands s
When Elena finally got up from the beach and returned to the lounge bench where Reid was waiting for her, she realized how long she had been swimming. One more hour.“Ben, I'm sorry. I was so engrossed in swimming that I lost track of time. You must be bored waiting for me, right? You should have just left me and gone back to the hotel," said Elena quickly, full of guilt.Meanwhile, the person Elena was talking to just smiled faintly, but then his expression stiffened.“How could I leave my girlfriend swimming alone. Don't you see how the other men here are looking at you? Of course I have to look after you here," said Reid.Elena blinked. She hurriedly looked around.Whether it was a coincidence or not, several men immediately looked away, as if they had been staring at Elena and Reid—or just Elena?—and felt caught off guard because Elena turned her head.Elena immediately glanced at her bikini. Is the bikini too sexy?According to her, no. Her bikini consists of a red one piece, whi
Elena should have immediately pushed Reid's chest, Elena should have immediately slapped Reid, but instead she remained silent.Was it because she was afraid that her charade as Reid's girlfriend would be exposed? Or because she didn't want to hurt Reid if she pushed the man's chest? Or is it because she enjoyed this kiss too?Elena didn't know. Elena couldn't think. Her brain can't be used. Currently all that could function were all the nerves in her body which made her body tingle.Reid's kiss was very gentle.From the start, Reid touched his lips to Elena's lips, Reid touched them gently, with a stroke, as if waiting for Elena to respond.As if, if Elena pursed her lips and made a gesture of refusal, Reid would back off.But Elena didn't purse her lips. Elena was indeed frozen, but with a small gap in her lips.As if thinking it was a positive response from Elena, Reid's lips stopped rubbing and changed to kissing Elena's lips. A soft kiss that made Elena's body tremble.Moreover,
No. She couldn't tell him the truth now. She had gone this far, so there was no way she could dismantle the lies she had composed.So Elena said, “You misunderstand, Reid. I rejected you not because I don't want you, or even hate you, but because... I just got my period. We can't possibly do it.”Elena bit her lip. She really couldn't think of a better reason than this.Elena immediately continued, "And everything you said just now, about me always avoiding you, is definitely just your feeling. Maybe you misinterpreted my attitude. I'm just trying to be careful with you because you're hurt. I don't want to accidentally hurt you."Reid looked at Elena, as if measuring whether Elena was telling the truth or not.In her heart, Elena prayed that Reid would immediately believe her. Because if not, Elena doesn't know what other reason to convince Reid.She is not a writer who is good at making up excuses.Then suddenly Reid took a deep breath. "I'm sorry because I accused you of something f
“Your face feels very familiar, but where do you think I saw you?” said the doctor while squinting at Reid as if he was remembering.Suddenly there was laughter from Elena. “Do you know, Doc? This isn't the first time someone has said something like that. My boyfriend is so handsome he looks like an artist. Do you know the actor who received the best actor award yesterday? Well, many people say my boyfriend looks like him," said Elena, improvising.The doctor laughed along with Elena. He nodded. “It turns out you look like an artist. No wonder your face feels familiar, I must have seen it often on television or in magazines," said the doctor."Yes, doc," replied Elena feeling relieved. Meanwhile Reid didn't comment at all.After that the doctor stopped bringing up Reid's face and focused on carrying out the examination.After a while, the doctor said that Reid was fine and he could go home. The doctor only prescribed painkillers if Reid experienced unbearable headaches again.Elena an
"Yes! I'll sleep in the same bed with you!" Elena exclaimed. She deliberately said it loudly so Reid could hear it clearly and didn't need to ask again.Because if Reid asks again, it's not certain that Elena will have the courage to say anything again. Who knows, the next minute she will be shaken.But before she could waver or change her mind, Reid immediately got up from his lying position on the sofa. The man stood up as fast as lightning."Okay," said Reid, walking straight to the bed.Meanwhile, Elena was stunned on the spot. She wondered whether her decision was the right one? Isn't anything going to happen tonight?“What are you waiting for? Come on, come here," Reid called, patting the pillow next to him. The man was even lying on his side on the bed on the right. His lips curled into a grin."Ben, even though I'm willing to sleep in the same bed with you, that doesn't mean we can..." Elena felt too embarrassed to continue her words."Make love?" Reid, who was kind, continued
The next morning, when Elena woke up from sleep, she immediately sat up, automatically clutching her blanket. But when she realized that she was still wearing the pajamas she wore last night, her grip on the blanket loosened. That means last night was safe, Reid didn't take any chances while Elena was asleep.Remembering the man's name, Elena automatically turned to the bed beside her. Empty. Reid wasn't there.And somehow this made a tinge of disappointment rise in her heart.What did Elena expect?Does Elena want to repeat the same mistake as yesterday? She slipped into thinking that Reid's fragrant body was a special scented pillow until she kept sniffing like a pig in the man's neck.It is not like that. It just crossed her mind that she wanted to enjoy Reid's sleeping face in the morning. The man's sleeping face was amazing, as Elena found out when she cared for him when he was sick in her apartment.Elene threw back the blanket, intending to get out of bed, but suddenly there wa
Initially they returned to the hotel running.Reid asked Elena if she wanted to take shelter first while waiting for the rain to stop, but Elena shook her head. In fact, Elena grabbed Reid's arm and asked the man to run.Reid immediately complied with Elena's invitation without hesitation. The two of them ran along the sandy beach. They almost fell several times because they tripped over rocks.But instead of feeling annoyed, Elena laughed. Thought it was funny. Honestly, the current situation was fun to her. For the first time she felt completely free. Being in the open, running, and holding hands with a man who doesn't make her feel afraid. This is her first time.Elena laughed out loud.Likewise, when they arrived at the hotel, Elena laughed as she bent over, staring at the wet droplets that filled the lobby of their room."Looks like we have to clean up," said Elena, straightening her body."Maybe later," replied Reid, then suddenly his hands grabbed Elena's waist, making her body
