Chapter 9
Her eyes flutter open to the sound of the calm ocean. What time is it? She glance over to his side. Empty. Did he come to bed last night? she wonder. Err. Why is she caring? He must have went and find that mistress of his. Suddenly... her heart stop. Her memory jogging itself. He did come to bed. It was right when she started to drift off. Her eyes were so tired, she couldn't get it to open but her ears were alert. She heard him coming in softly, feeling the bed tilt and the blanket ruffling against his body. Minutes went by and she was dozing off again then she felt something hard on her waist. "Cold?" he mutter closely. It was his arm and she was too tired to move it so she just nod.. He moved in a little closer and spoon her. His warmth help ease the coldness and put her back into dreamland.
Ahh! why did the heck she nod for?! Soriya jump out of bed and claim the shower. Her thoughts scramble while standing under the water. His affection, his kiss, his words.... this was getting way too much to handle. What is going on here? Sometime the way his eyes stare at her made her question things she never question before..
Harit knock the door, "Soriya...." he called out behind the closed door.
"Yea?" what did he want, interrupting her 15 min of heaven.
"Are you almost done showering?"
"Why?" she yelled..
"Emmy wants breakfast."
"Oh." she softly, the bottle must have ran out. She turn off the water and got of the shower reaching for her robe. She didn't know if it was a good idea to walk out naked again but... it's daylight.. he wouldn't dare to pull any trick.
She steps out and sees Harit with Emmy on the balcony in the bright sun. He walked over and hand Emmy to her. "I got it from here... you can leave." she said, sitting down on the bed cuddling her sweet baby in her arms.
Harit smile, "there's no need to be shy.... It's not like..."
"Don't even go there." she snap at him. "Either you leave or I will." when he didn't move, she got up.
"Fine fine, geezzz" he roll his eyes and move his legs.
Harit watch the waves crashing while drinking his cup of coffee. He turn around to find Soriya in a white flowing skirt just below her knee and a white tank top with her dark hair nice and soft. Emmy appear bathe, wearing white outfit to match her mom. Too darn cute. He walk over toward them.
Soriya was busy talking to Ann not noticing Harit was next to her... "Emmy's..." Her lips froze and turn her head after feeling lips on her cheek.
"Let me have her." said Ann smiling, taking Emmy out of Soriya arms and walk over to her husband.
Everyone was in the living room, trying hard not to look their way. God their smiles taunted her except Ken. He seem to be laughing and enjoying the scene. She turn her eyes to Harit who didn't appear be bother. his smile widen. "I don't know what you're trying to do but stop, just stop it." She walk to the dining table and sat down while putting porridge on her bowl. Harit follow and pull the chair close to her with him pouring orange juice into a glass.
This is annoying. She can't even have breakfast in peace. "I'm trying to eat here."
"Then eat." he said and place the glass in front of her.
"What do you want?"
he lean in, close enough to smell her lotion. "You." She lightly shook her head and laugh. "What's so funny?"
"you can go to her when we return back tonight" she spoon the porridge into her mouth.
His fingers grip the cup handle hard, trying to keep his cool. "I told you already, it's only you now....."
"Is that what you told your mistress too?"
"No.... she knows I have a wife."
Her blood boil. "Really? and she still continue being your mistress?"She look at him up and down. "You're not even that great." His face expression burn and she was enjoying it.
His arm grip her waist and pull her close that his lips could have touch her cheek easily again. "Is that so? If I remember correctly, you were breathing pretty hard and could barely move your body." He smirk. "It was such sweet night, wasn't it Soriya?"
"Hey hey.." Mrs. H yelled out. "grab a room, not in my kitchen."
Soriya wipe her lips, sip the orange juice then rise with the bowl in hand and walk to the sink. Harit got up and stood near her. He reach for her hair but she shove his hand away. "I can still remember that night vividly..." he said, seeing her ears red.
Her ears cringed. "shut up harit!" she wipe her hands and walk fast to Ann.
He smile and went to sit next to her.
"when are you heading back?" Ken ask.
"Soon.... probably before lunch. you?"
"Same.... We were thinking of taking a morning stroll along the beach first. Want to join us?"
No and yes was heard. Ken laugh. "So which is it?"
"Yes." Harit said again over powering Soriya no. "Is now good?" he grab her hand. "Soriya's been dying to get her feet wet in the ocean."
---
Ann and Ken walk in front of them with Ken arm around Ann shoulder and hers around his waist. They were cuddling into one another. All this couple thing was making Soriya uncomfortable..
"why are you frowning?." Harit said, he grips his hold around her waist even tighter.
"Shut up."
"Then let me kiss you...."
Soriya glare and roll her eyes. "you are so lucky we're not home..."
"home is even better...." he smile at her. " less interruption."
Ahhhh! she remove his arm from her waist and shove him hard. then she walk as fast as she could before he pick her up in his arms... "What are you doing?! put me down now!"
Silence and continuing walking into the ocean. "harit, don't. " omg. "I have on white!"
He stood in the water, swings her around and pretend to toss her..... Her arms tighten around his neck and her face hidden into the nook of it. "Stop it!"
"Fine, but there's a trade off." she life her face to stare at him. "I want a kiss."
"Say again?" She see his lips moving toward her as she duck back into his neck and mutter against it. "this is crazy.... stupid... you are stupid!"
Harit laugh. "I'm waiting...." her face didn't budge from his neck, his arms move again...
"Fine!"
"go head, i'm ready..."
He's sooo going to pay for this. Soriya lift her face and lean her lips to his, soft and quick.
Harit smile from ear to ear. "Thanks."
"You better wipe that smile of your ugly face!" her face grumpy. "you still haven't put me down!"
He walk back to the sand and put her on her feet.
Ken and Ann turn around, in time to see Soriya kissing Harit.
"ohhhh...." Ken mutter.
"Aren't they the cutest thing?" said Ann.
Her husband nod. "Mr. Denial..." Ken chuckle. He can tell she's upset. Harit, you slime ball.
"Who?" ask Ann.
He shakes his head, "Nothing... let's leave them" he grab Ann hand and continue their walk.
