I cleared my throat. "I'm not denying, anyway." He raised the glass but I didn't make a toast with him. I just rolled my eyes. "If you say so." He sipped the vodka while his eyes were looking straight at mine like he was taking my breath away with his magnetic stares. I grabbed my glass so I could have a reason to avoid his gaze. I sipped on it despite my lungs, despising myself already for what I was giving to it. "By the way." He put his glass back on the table. "Is your decision final? Are you really gonna end your stay here on Sunday?" Humour was still visible on his face but I sensed gloominess suddenly surrounding us. "Yes." I gulped, feeling my chest tightening. "But you can extend it. I can talk to them---" "It's final, Ez." I looked down as I couldn't bear to look at his eyes knowing that I was gonna miss it so much. "I need to go on with my life outside." He smiled a little. "What about your life here? Are you just gonna forget it?" "It's not as if I'm having an amne

"I've been here for four days yet I still haven't tried swimming in the sea," I said as Ezra and I stopped right in front of the sea where water was splashing on our feet. After dinner, we decided to go to the seashore. Ezra was holding my heels while my feet were on the soft, wet sand. The moon was too bright and circled that it gave enough light that reflects on the long wavy sea and the sand. There were few people enjoying bonfires but we were far from them so it felt like we were the only two, enjoying paradise. "Sure, I'll swim with you. If that's what you're trying to pursue." I glared at him. I didn't know where he gets his punchy words but I must say deep inside my heart, it was capturing me. "It's not what I'm trying to pursue. Maybe it's the other way around." I smirked. "Or you're just in denial." I punched his firm shoulder. "I'm not but whatever." I rolled my eyes before turning my back on him. "Where are you going?" He walked with me. I tried taking big steps on t

I avoided his gaze. I gulped as I massaged my thigh, feeling my chest cramping. "I wonder who's Ezra outside the island." I tried to reverse the card. He laughed as he shook his head, looking hopeless that he'd hear something about me outside the Ecstasy Land. "You wonder huh." He nodded. "You really wanna know?" "I do." "As you wish." He took a deep breath as he stared into my eyes. "Ezra Masterson, a young entrepreneur who isn't that good in describing himself" He slightly chuckled. "All he knows is he's a Masterson, and Masterson is a family of doctors so he was pressured to be one, but then he chose his passion--- to be an entrepreneur. He studied in New Haven and met his genius friends. Together they built an idea to establish a unique island." He looked around. "And this is it, this is their pretty, big idea." I was amazed just by looking at him, the way he said how he pursue his passion over his parents' pressure, is amazing. I mean, I couldn't do that. I never dared to do

If only I could. I sighed as I bitterly smiled. "I've been thinking about lots of stuff. Your offer is pending since it's in the last line." I just humoured him."Ouch. Can't I be a priority?"I managed to chuckle but failed to utter a word. I just savoured the feeling of resting on his chest. He stopped combing my hair and wrapped both of his masculine arms on my waist while I was still on his top. I closed my eyes, savouring his warm hug. I felt so safe around him like no one could hurt me. His hug made me feel like I was protected at all costs.I woke up in a soft bed with a cold breeze hugging my body plus the care of the comforter. My brows crossed as I sat and leaned my back on the headboard. I could smell Ezra's perfume all over his room. I massaged my head as I tried to remember what happened yesterday night. I fell asleep on top of him. I bit my lower lip but a smile formed as I thought deeply of what happened that whole night; it was a blast. My heart was jumping with joy.I

"Sorry, you had to see me crying," I whispered while I was looking at the people playing beach volleyball. We were still under a pine tree. My back was leaning there like a lazy kid while Ezra was sitting beside me throwing small rocks away from us. "I don't mind seeing your fragile side, Snow." I faked a smile. I finally calmed down after a few minutes of breaking down. He just hugged me a while ago. He didn't utter any word as if he knew that quietness was all that I need. When my tears finally emptied, we just sat quietly, looking at nowhere. "Mother and daughter arguments again?" he asked with his comforting eyes. I just nodded. Part of me wanted to tell him the truth but something was stopping me to do so I guess not knowing would be so much better for him. Besides, we would never see each other again once I go back to the city. I didn't wanna ruin our moment so... fuck, I was so fucked up. "You can tell me anything, Snow. You can open up to me." I took a deep breath. "I'm

I wore a silver dress with cuts on both sides of my waist, it emphasizes the curves of my body. I was about to ask Ezra to zip my dress but I didn't see him in his living room, instead, I saw a note on his coffee table. 'Hi, my lady. I'm already on the yacht, waiting for you. Go take your time. There's no rushing here, lovemaking can wait, right? Kidding aside, you'll see my yacht right after you went out of my cabin. This is a special night; I hope you'll feel way more special than you think you are.' I chuckled as I shook my head in full genuineness. I sighed when I felt my chest-thumping louder. I had no choice but to zip my dress on my own. I felt more excited so I rushed putting lipstick for the last touch on my face. I chose flat sandals instead of heels. Stilettos weren't practical in a beach setting, especially when I walked past the sand. When I went out of his cabin, my lips parted as I saw a tulip bouquet on the floor. "Oh my God, silly Ezra." I grabbed the flowers and s

I played with my fingers as I looked at the wedding ring I was wearing. My eyes were burning as I stared deeper at the ring. I took a deep breath with my chest twitching while the car was on the way to L. A was moving continuously. "You okay, Snow?" Quinn held my hand. I was sitting beside her in the passenger's seat. We were on our way home and fuck, I felt like my chest was stabbed a million times; the sadness was suffocating me. "Why wouldn't I be?" I faked a smile before looking back at the ring I just wore again the minute I entered this car. "Because we're going back to L. A and you're gonna need to face your life again, to face Clayton." She puffed a breath. "It's normal to not be okay, Snow. You're gonna go back to the life you never dreamt of, so not being okay is valid." "I'll miss him, Quinn." I couldn't stop thinking about Ezra. The sadness in his eyes when I said goodbye to him struck my heart like an axe. He tried to stop me, he persuaded me to stay but I had a life

"Snow! Oh my God!" Quinn entered my art room like she owns the place. I didn't glance at her. I continued colouring the plain paper in front of me with random colours while I was sitting calmly on a stool chair. Doing an abstract painting had been my coping mechanism when I'm bored, sad or overthinking. Gladly, Clayton allowed me to have an art room in our house. I would probably hate him to death if he didn't. "Hey! Did you even hear me coming inside?" Quinn stood beside the paper I was painting on. She crossed her arms, I could only see that through my peripheral view as I was still playing with colours on the paper. "Snow!" I glanced at her. "What's up?" I was bored to death. It had been four months since my vacation on the Ecstasy Land and now I was dying to come back but I couldn't. Clayton became stricter. Fuck, I didn't even know how he discovered that I cheated on him, maybe he just assumed that, cause Quinn said she never gossiped about anything that happened in the Ecst

I bit my lower lip as I remembered the way Ezra first flirted with me. His image, his smile, laugh, everything about him kept on flashing back on my mind. His memories were like a tattoo that I couldn't remove out of my fucking brain cells. "I can't." I swallowed deeply. "I'm married." My chest squirmed. Funny how Ezra could be an exemption for that but he wouldn't be there so, no. I couldn't and I shouldn't flirt, not anymore. "Wow." Val sarcastically parted her lips. "I didn't know you're loyal." "Am I?" It was a half meant sarcasm. "Oh, I'm not sure. You don't really love Clayton, right?" I gulped. I took a deep breath. My head felt heavy like I didn't wanna answer but I managed to shake my head a little. "I see but it doesn't erase the fact that you guys are married so yeah, you have all the rights to be careful and choose not to flirt with anyone. But he cheated on you before, right?" "We're here." I gulped while parking my car in front of Quinn's lot. Thank God, we already

"Snow, it's a pleasure to finally see you again." The side of Ezra's lips rose but his eyes were still shooting dagger at me. "Except that, I saw you dancing with another man." Oh my God! How to calm down? I felt like dying. I parted my lips but failed to utter a word for a second until I chuckled awkwardly. "Ezra! Oh gosh, it's you, I mean, I didn't expect to see you here, outside the Ecstasy Land." He stepped closer to me until he leaned as his forehead touched mine. My heartbeat was now louder than the echoing music in the room. I was out of breath but I was trying to act normal and not that affected. "Expect the unexpected." I froze like a block of ice when his warm fingers touched my face as he put some of my hair strands on the back of my ear. He then leaned deeper; electricity travelled through me when I felt his lips touching the tip of my ear as his warm breath travelled on my skin. "I missed you, Snow," he whispered while I couldn't move. Fuck he was so close, I could
