Valentina and Emily returned to the table, still laughing lightly from their time away.Val walked to her seat beside Mason and sat down gracefully. She had barely settled when Mason reached for her hand under the table. His touch was warm, gentle—like he had been waiting forever just to hold her again."Did you miss me?" Val asked him sweetly, tilting her head, her eyes playful.Mason nodded quickly, his face lighting up like a fool in love. “So much,” he whispered, unable to hide the goofy smile on his face.Leo rolled his eyes and stood up from the table. He had had enough."I'm out of here, guys," he said sharply. “Can’t take this nonsense.”Zayne followed suit immediately. “Wait for me!” he called, walking out right behind Leo. The sight of Mason and Valentina acting all lovey-dovey was just too much for them.Denovon leaned closer to Mason and spoke casually. “We’ll be in our room,” he said as he stood up, holding Emily’s hand. The two of them quietly slipped away, unnoticed.In
"Have this, it tastes good," Mason said, placing a piece of side food on Valentina’s plate with a sweet smile. His eyes were glowing as he looked at her, full of affection. Val smiled back at him softly, her voice like music. "Thank you, sweet," she said and leaned closer, gently brushing some strands of hair away from Mason’s face. He blinked slowly, his eyes lighting up like a man who had just heard the love of his life speak. They were both lost in their own world. Smiling. Staring at each other. Whispering things only they could hear. The rest of the table almost faded away to them. But for everyone else seated, it was a different story. Emily watched in silent disbelief, her fork halfway to her mouth as she stared. Mason and Valentina were acting like a couple who had been together for years—not people who just met not too long ago. It was sweet… but also strange. A little too sweet. "Isn't it too soon?" Emily wondered in her mind, her brows slowly drawing together as
"Hi, ladies."Emily and Val, who were now seated on a wooden bench near the beach, turned their heads at the sound of the voice.It was Mason. And right behind him was Denovon.The two men had been sitting at the other end of the beach, watching Emily and Val laughing together for hours. While Denovon didn’t move or say anything, Mason had finally stood up, saying something about going over—whether to see Val or just for a change of scenery, nobody knew.Emily's eyes met Denovon's. His face didn't look good.Of course, he wasn’t happy. Emily had been with Valentina all day. She hadn’t spared him much attention, hadn’t even looked at him much. And this wasn’t the first time. She always seemed to forget him the moment Val came around."I hope you're enjoying the place," Mason said, his eyes mostly on Valentina as he smiled charmingly. "I chose this place," he added proudly, clearly hoping for praise."I am," Val replied with a smile, brushing her hair behind her ear. "It’s a beautiful p
They had all checked in. The resort was as luxurious as it had been described, and now, Emily and Denovon were finally in their own room.“Wow,” Emily said in awe, walking slowly to the wide glass window that opened to the ocean. The view from their room was breathtaking. She placed her hands gently on the glass, taking it in with a big smile on her face. The ocean sparkled under the sun, waves crashing lightly, breeze swaying the trees.She felt his arms wrap around her from behind.Denovon hugged her closely, burying his face into her neck and inhaling her soft scent. The moment was peaceful—just them and the sound of the ocean outside.“Thanks for bringing me here,” she said with a smile, tilting her head slightly so she could see his face behind her.“This is nothing,” Denovon replied, a small smile playing on his lips. “We’ll go on a proper vacation soon. Just the two of us.”Emily’s heart melted a little. She could feel the love in his voice, and she liked how safe she felt in h
The black car rolled to a gentle stop in front of the luxury beach resort.Emily leaned closer to the window, her eyes widening at the sight of the clear blue ocean stretching endlessly in front of them. It was still morning, and the sun wasn’t out yet. The sky looked calm and pale. The wind carried the sweet scent of salt and sea breeze. Palm trees danced slowly, their leaves swaying gently under the soft light.Denovon stepped out first and moved to open the door for her. He stretched out his hand, and Emily placed hers in his gently.The moment her feet touched the ground, the wind caught her hair, lifting it slightly in the air. She breathed in deeply, a soft smile spreading across her lips.“This is beautiful,” she whispered.“Yeah,” Denovon agreed, as he reached out to arrange her hair which had been slightly scattered by the wind.“Denovon!”A voice called from behind them. They both turned.It was Mason, walking toward them with the others—Zayne and Leo.“Who knew you'd be the
