Mensah and as she looked at them in casual clothes, looking all sweet, she couldn't help but ask, where they were going. "Just to the beach Mama, wanna come along?" Louisa responded as she leaned in to smell a sunflower. Her mother seemed to think about it for a moment, and then eventually agreed. As they all made themselves comfortable in the car, Naa Larley couldn't help but shout, "To the beach we go!" Everyone laughed at her crazy antics. *****

Morning arrived slowly, spilling pale gold light across the beach house and turning the waves into threads of silver and amber. I lingered by the porch railing with a mug of steaming tea, watching Leo chase the tide, his laughter carried by the wind. The sight of him running freely, unburdened by fear or tension, stirred something deep inside me, a fragile joy I hadn’t felt in years. The calm of this place, the rhythm of his small feet against the sand, and the steady hum of the ocean brought a sense of safety I had once thought impossible. Inside, Sebastian moved quietly through the kitchen, humming a low tune, slicing fruit with care and brewing coffee with precision. He didn’t speak or tr

Jovita saw what I did and we both busted out laughing. We were taken near a small island named Jolly bay, by a speed boat. The atmosphere was at its best. Calm and serene. When we took the plunge in water wearing those funny mask, a whole new mesmerizing world came to life. It was just speechless. The waters surrounding Jolly Bay was clear enough for a perfect underwater view. The currents were stable near the shoreline and didn't mix the underlying sand with the water, allowing a magnificent view.

The sun shone brightly over Rio de Janeiro, and the sea breeze was a refreshing caress on my skin as I walked along the beach with Jaden. The sound of the waves crashing on the sand was almost musical, and the salty smell of the sea was invigorating. I was completely enchanted by the beauty of this place. The golden sand stretched out before us seemed endless, and the deep blue ocean merged with the sky in a stunning horizon. I was captivated; Rio was beautiful. Much more than I had ever imagined it would be in my entire life. This country was incredible — the food, the people, the cozy warmth.

It’s that or someone would have to take me out before I started killing innocent people. After a few moments in silence, Jase says, “You good?” I give him a nod. He smiles. “Good, now let’s let Carley spend our money on whatever she wants while we are here.” His door opens to let in the smell of salt water and fish. The humidity is high, making it feel warmer here than back at home. Luckily for us, we can all still go for a swim in the indoor heated pool at our beach house. The chilly sea water will not stop Weston, though, who I see bouncing on his heels, excited to get himself a new surfboard and wet suit. It was all he could about after breakfast.

Fear now all over him. "I was threatened not to and I still feel guilty!" Mark blurted out in fear. Joyce didn’t answer, just looked out toward the sea. Mark turned and saw that the ocean had drawn far out, leaving brackish piles of garbage, heaps of seaweed and flopping, desperate fish in it's wake. The water had gathered itself into a huge wave, rising like the side of a mountain, like an avalanche ready to fall.

Yet, here I was, walking down a dock not sturdy enough to safely hold a small child, much less a two-hundred-pound man. I'd gone as far as I could. At the end of the wooden walkway, I closed my eyes. Her laughter played in my head; the splashing, the goofing off, it all still existed in the recesses of my memories. The sun shone bright, and the heat was horrific. A smile danced on the corners of my mouth when I glanced over the water to see her floating on her back. Randi's flat stomach dipped under the surface, and she wiggled her toes. It was all there as though I could touch her if I jumped in. "Austin? Son, is that you out there?"

I felt someone beside me, when I looked at my side, I saw Jungle looking at the horizon. "Ang payapa ng gabi, Binibini." kumento niya. "I know, and I hope the next few nights, ganun parin." sabi ko sa kanya. I'm wishing that it would be nothing but a peaceful journey especially when we pass the Caribbean Sea. "I am wishing the same thing, pero alam ko mismo sa sarili ko na hindi madadaan sa pahinahong usapan sina Jam at Jame." he looked at me.

Jiya smiled and her heart thudded fastly and her grip tightened on his arms. Her eyes glowed under the moonlight . The view was mesmerizing. It was the personal artificial beach of Arjun who made this for his wife and she always heard from Pashika that the beach was very beautiful and cosy. This was the first time when she was witnessing with her own eyes. "Happy Rose Day", Shaurya spoke and his hot burning lips touched her shoulder. She shivered under his tempting touches. Wildness shot into her system and she wrapped her arms around his neck and put her head onto his chest, hearing wild drumming beats.

I tried to shout but there was no voice coming out from my mouth. Little by little, my vision became blurry. I closed my eyes for a moment. When I opened my eyes, I realized that I was no longer in the same place. I’m in a forest and at the end of it was a beautiful sea. At the sea, I saw a mermaid-like creature; it seemed happy. Talking to that mermaid was a young boy that looked exactly like me. He looks handsome like me.
