Все главы The boy I should not love : Глава 31 - Глава 40

It’s been a week since I Leo and I hung out. I guess you could say we made up, we had a chance to talk about everything and I explained to him why everything happened the way it did. He’s not entirely over it but we decided to move past it. We have a two week holiday from school, which means summer school for me and work for him. So we haven’t really had a chance to hang out. I’m doing the summer program to prepare for end of year exams and some prep for med school next year. I’m excited and eager to do it but I won’t lie and say it’s not hard. If this is a glimpse of what first year of university is about to be like I’m in for about to have the toughest time of my life. So when Leo invited me to come and hang out today after class I jumped at the opportunity. I need to distress. I knock at his door and wait. A few moments later he opens the door with a huge smile on his face. We says hi to each other and he lets me in. I look around expecting to see

 “Will your parents be cool with you going on a trip with us?” I ask Golden when we get into Zach’s car. I look back at her so I can see her face when she answers. Our last stop for the day is the ice cream shop. As soon as we were done eating Zach declared that we are going there no negotiations.“I don’t see why they wouldn’t be.” She answers simply. She gives me a I got this look“Let me guess if she was your daughter you would be concerned.” Zach says to me as he drives out of the McDonalds parking lot.“Well she is planning on driving 500 km to another province with a couple of strangers.” I say stating a very obvious fact. We haven’t been hanging out with Golden for about three months now. I’m not a parent but if Mina came to me and said she wants to go to another province with dudes I don’t know. I would be concerned and probably wouldn’t let her.

We arrive at the air bnb around 8:30. Zach booked us a two bedroom, two bathroom apartment with an amazing view of the ocean. Every room has a breathtaking view. The host made sure to leave the apartment lit for us so that we can see its beauty as we walk through the door.I walk around looking at the little details in every room. This is a beautiful apartment I wouldn’t mind waking up here every morning. It’s a pity I’m not moving to Durban next year; an apartment like this would be my first choice.Everything is perfect. From the beautiful kitchen with a huge island, the bedrooms are big and have plenty of storage. And the bathrooms are incredible; they look like something out of a very expensive hotel.“Do you like it?” Zach asks me when I come back to the kitchen after I toured the place.“It’s incredible.” I say smiling at him; he did great with picking this place.“I knew you guys would li

“Are you driving?” I ask Leo as we walk to our assigned UTV.“No, you are.” He says helping me get into the driver’s side.“Cool” I say feeling excited about driving around the sand on the beach. Leo walks around gets in the passenger side. We get ready to leave; we’re the last UTV on the line that are parked and ready to go. I wait for the ones in front of me to load up and drive away.  They start moving after a short while and then I set off when it’s my turn. The drive starts slowly at first but eventually we pick up speed. I put my foot down on the accelerator to keep up with the group.  I concentrate on navigating the trail, feeling alive. I love this; I’ve wanted to do this for a long time. I’m so glad Zach thought to book this for. I almost went crazy with excitement when he told us we were going to be doing this when we got back to the house this morning. When

“Did I mention I’m terrified of heights?” I say to Leo who is hanging next to me in a harness next to me. Zach had the awesome idea to go parasailing. And let’s just say I’m not excited at all, as a matter of fact I’m terrified. The idea of hanging in the air, the ocean below us and with a boat pulling us at high speed feels like the fasted way to die.Zach was my favorite person this whole weekend but right now he’s number one my got to kill list. When he declared we have one last activity to do today before we have to head back home I didn’t imagine he meant this. He did so well with the UTV tour but this is a miss.“ You did mention it a few times.” Leo says looking at me. He convinced me to do this. I was going to sit this one out but he gave me some speech about avoiding regret and facing my fears; I know now that it was a loud of crap. I can’t believe I fell for it, I’m regretting saying yes.
