บททั้งหมดของ Melting The Ice Captain : บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 70

OLIVE BECKETT There was something about the ocean that was calming. Maybe it was the vastness of it that makes one realize how insignificant they were in the grand scheme of things or maybe it was the way it swayed in tune with the end without a care.The minimal noise added to the serenity of the beach, it was weekday and the usual population that was found at the beach was noticeably absent.Anyways, it made me pause and stare. I felt my body relax as I took in a deep breath. Ah, the salty smell of the ocean.Suddenly, I was grateful for Easton's insistence on accepting the request. It's been a long time since I've been to the beach.“Olive!!” someone screamed. I reluctantly pulled my eyes away from the ocean and turned to her.Her hair whipped about free in the wind as she wind as she waved at me, a big grin on her face.Summer Carter looked beautiful in the sun. She was almost glowing.I grinned back and waved, beginning the march towards her. She jumped onto me with a happy sq

OLIVE BECKETT I leaned quietly on Easton's side, his fingers still massaging but they weren't calming anymore.If I had imagined all that, what would have caused it?Why will I suddenly think of Lily harming me on a pleasant beautiful day?Frowning, I looked down at the hand that massaged my fingers.Why did he think I was making it up so easily?He didn't for a moment consider the fact that Lily might actually harm me.Why?How long were they dating in the past for him to be so sure about her character?“Why did you instantly doubt me?” I asked, my voice still a whisper.He stilled. “Sweetheart, I thought you had slept off.”“Why aren't you answering my question, Easton?” I moved away. This time, I shifted till I was out of his reach.“It’s not like I don't believe you, I just know that you have been stressed lately. The mind acts funny when stressed.”I narrowed my eyes, my confusion slowly turning to annoyance. “Stressed? I finally made use of one of my leave permissions so I can

OLIVE BECKETT Summer's smiling face filled my computer screen and I couldn't help but return her smile.“Hey love,” she greeted with a small wave. I closed the patient's file I was reviewing and leaned into my chair. “Hi Summer. How are you?”“I'm really good.” The video became shaky for a bit before stabilizing. “There, that's better.”She sank into her couch facing the phone properly. “How have you been? Easton has been keeping me updated but I wanted to hear it from you.”I smiled. “I have been really good. That incident is in the past now.”“Good. On a brighter note, the resort did give us a coupon to use any of their facilities for free the next time we're there.”Total ass licking.They probably heard who I was dating and decided to do something like this to look good.“That’s good and all but I don't think I'm ever going to go there again.”“I thought as much. Well, one of the other girls can use it, I was just informing you.”“Alright. Thank you.”“You look really chic with

EASTON CARTER My body was just one big mass of aching and burning muscles. We've been having non stop matches because of the season and I needed a breather.I sent a text to Olive that she would read when she wakes up. The time difference wasn't making this separation easy for us.Plus, our schedules were so different, we were hardly awake at the same time.Three days. Just three more days until she was back.The door opened and Coach walked in, his notes in hand.“Alright boys. This is our second to last match for a while.”We groaned in chorus. Nathan managed to somehow drop on the bench like a dead fish. It was impressive given how geared up he was.“I know, I know. We're all exhausted and tired. Nathan has kindly described that he would love to sleep or be a fish,” he added with a smirk.I chuckled, watching Nathan's pathetic attempt to stand.“Let's go win this. Dinner on me to cheer you moping motherfuckers up!!”“Fuck yes!!”“Alright!!”As I have caught myself doing recently,

OLIVE BECKETT Lily quickly turned to look at me, her lips instantly bending into an annoyed frown.“Get the fuck off me Lily,” Easton growled, his hands falling away from her wrist.She tried to linger for a moment but I stepped into the room. She huffed and stood.“I was just trying to take care of his wounds.”Easton sat up. “How did you even get in here?”“The door was open…”“That's a lie,” he frowned. The door never stays open after anyone enters.Lily fiddled with the ice, her gaze on the floor.Okay.My pacing heart calmed down a little. Lily was acting weird but that didn't matter. What mattered was that it was obvious Easton didn't sleep with her. There's no lust or affection or even kindness in his gaze when he looks at her.What if he did and they're just really good at pretending?I ignored the question, suppressing the thought…those damn pictures!“Easton,” I frowned, taking in the look on his face properly. “What happened?”His tried to lick his split lips but winced. “
