Chapter 9: The Imagination

Claire's POV

'Haist, if this Ryker weren't so cute, I would have made his face bleed a while ago. But his handsome face will get stained, so I can't.' I thought.

My gaze shifted to Ryker, who waved to Daniel, bidding him farewell. Daniel bid us farewell and set off towards the bustling metropolis, leaving the three of us in his wake. Russell sprinted towards us. Once more, the green-eyed monster had taken hold of me, and Russell was the focus of my envy. Inhaling deeply, I furrowed my brow and reclined on the sofa bed.

'Maybe Ryker doesn't like me because my body isn't as good as Russell's." Perhaps it was my body shape that failed to meet his expectations.' I thought.

"Are you coming on the jet ski with me?" After glancing in my direction, Ryker turned to Russell and posed a question.

"I don't want to," I said. "So I'll stay here."

"Are you sure?" Russell posed a question to me.

"Yes, it is way too hot. I don't want to get sunburned." I said.

Ryker's gaze met mine, yet I didn't care.
