Barbarossa beach

The trip to planet Feriae had not lasted more than twenty minutes. Erendor had planned to arrived at the party at about noon, but complications with Samara's outfit had delayed their departure, making them take off at five o' clock in the afternoon. It turned out that the party wasn't actually going to start until half past four so their postponed departure was optimal. Bloom was wearing her bikini under her dress and Sky was doing the same with his bathing trunks –except that he did not wear a dress-. Samara and Erendor were planning to put on swimming wear on as soon as they would reach their friends house.
AS they landed on the shipping dock of the countess's estate, they were welcomed by the housewife, who led them to the entrance of the huge mansion that lay in front of the beach, hiding it. The mansion had three floors and was still smaller than the royal Lake house that Erendor owned. The windows were all framed by a golden outline and there was even a garden in front of the house.
Bloom and Sky were walking with his arm swung around her waist. Her long red hair was falling over her perfect back, and her high heels clacked on the stone floor in the rhythm of her steps.
They were walking behind Samara and Erendor, usual for a young royal couple. At the entrance of the house they were greeted by the countess of Mounts who had apparently already awaited their arrival. She was a lean woman with big green eyes and dark brown hair. After she had received her gift from Samara, Bloom and Sky stepped into her view which made her smile widely.
"Oh, so this is your son?" she asked Erendor.
Erendor nodded with a proud smile.
"He has truly fulfilled our family." He replied.
Sky rolled his eyes.
Then the countess's eyes wandered over to Bloom.
"And who is this sweet lady?" she asked Sky.
From the corner of her eye Bloom was able to see that Samara rolled her eyes. This made her lean against Sky.
"This is his fiancé. Isn't she a beauty?" Erendor answered for his son.
This made Blooms cheeks redden a bit.
Erendor stepped a bit closer to his wife.
She heard him whisper "Don't be such a nuisance, she is beautiful. At least make the countess think that you like her."
Bloom knew that Erendor liked her, the same way she knew that Samara did not like her.
She focused on the countess's fixed stare again.
The countess was eying her from top to bottom, examining every centimeter of her body.
"She sure is a beauty." She said after a while with an adoring spark in her eyes.
Sky just smiled at his well appreciated fiancé.
"Come on, I will show you around the house and then I suggest we join the party. You can change your clothes in one of the guest dressing rooms upstairs and next to the living room." The countess explained, and then entered her house with her guests following. The small group walked through the lobby, the living room and a few lounges before they reached the glass doors leading to the section of the beach that the countess owned.
"The band will start performing at half past six but a few of the musicians already arrived." The countess turned to look at Bloom.
"I heard that you like to sing as well, perhaps they will teach you one of their songs? A musician with black hair and silver eyes was surely delighted as I mentioned the guest list and said your name. His name was…Andy?" she continued, opening the door. From outside came loud music, but this didn't change the fact that Bloom gasped in frustration as she heard the name which the countess had mentioned.
"Andy?" she asked with widened eyes. The countess nodded with a wide smile. Then she looked at Samara.
"Oh, and as for your request, your last minute guest so to say is going to come as well." She told them, and then headed for her personal dress room in order to put on her bathing suit.
That moment Erendor turned to look at Bloom with a questioning expression.
"What's the matter? You seem troubled." He said.
"I hate Andy…." She murmured without noticing that everyone was looking at her with worried eyes.
"Who is Andy?" Samara asked Sky. She thought that he might know about his fiancés relationships.
"Her ex-boyfriend." He replied. Bloom had told Sky about her previous boyfriend already, convincing him that their relationship had never gone farther than kissing and cuddling.
"This is getting better than I thought." Samara thought as she heard what Sky told her.
Sky traced over Blooms upper arm carefully.
"Hey, don't be so worried, maybe it's not the Andy that you think. There are thousands of Andy's in the world." He murmured into her ear. "Perhaps there is an Andy that just heard of you, no one can deny that you are a kind of celebrity already, Princess."
"Yea, you're probably right." She replied, shaking away the bad thought of Andy appearing at the party away with a hasty nod.
She smiled at Sky and then she headed to one of the guest dressing rooms which the countess had mentioned to pull of her dress.

As she came out again she headed to the beach where she found Sky standing around together with one of the other guests, who left as she arrived since he was pulled away by his wife.
She approached him from the back and tapped his shoulder, clearing her throat so that he noticed her.
He turned around instantly and what he saw made his eyes almost fall out.
There was only one thing that he disliked about Bloom, and that was the fact that she never realized how irresistible and sexy she was. His heart seemed to stop beating every time he saw her, noticing her long legs and her flawless face.
"And, do you like it?" she asked him, putting her hands on her hips and turning around once to make him see her from the back as well.
"Like it? I love it." He thought to himself.
She wore a revealing bikini-top colored in blue with silver straps, and the bottom part of the bikini was just as provoking, also colored blue and accenting her attractive curves perfectly.
"Wow." was Sky's first comment. He was relieved that he managed to get at least one word out in her presence.
"You look fabulous." He murmured.
"You too." she replied with a smirk, running over his strong bare chest with her fingertips.
In response he placed his hands on her back and smiled at her.
"God, I want you again tonight." He thought, letting his stare travel over her entire body, fixing on her blue eyes again.
"And did you hear anything of 'him' yet?" he asked her, not wanting to disrupt their sweet moment together.
"No, and I hope that I won't today. That will make it better for him. If I see him I am going to scratch his eyes out and kick his butt so that he will fly back down to earth." She explained.
Sky chuckled.
"Is he that awful?" he asked her.
She nodded and replied "He is the most awful person that I know."
Sky rolled his eyes and pulled away to take her hand. He looked down to the shore.
The most guests were located in the main part of the beach, enjoying the last sparks of sun in the evening and talking with one another.
"It will take another half hour until the concert starts. Why don't we take a walk along the shore as long as the sun is still shining?" he asked her. She happily agreed to his offer and then got pulled down to the seashore, her arms around his waist and his around her shoulders.
After a few minutes of walking, Sky noticed that Blooms hand slipped off of his waist and just hung loosely from her shoulder, her head tilted a bit towards the floor. She was watching her feet leave spots in the sand.
"Hey, is everything okay?" he asked taking a short pause, looking down at the side of her face.
"WH-what? Oh, yea, I'm fine." She replied, looking up once and then continuing to stare at the sand again.
Sky continued walking, even though he noticed that something was not right with his girl. He listened closely as he meant to hear her murmur softly "It was only this one time."
He stopped walking again and asked "Are you alright, baby?"
Bloom looked up at him again and nodded weakly. He was able to see it in her eyes that she was thinking about something that depressed her.
Now it was her who stopped walking.
"No, actually I'm not alright." She said, looking at him.
"Then tell me, what is weighing your mind? I don't wasn't to see those eyes sad." He told her, caressing her cheek with his right hand
"Remember this morning when your mom was staring at me while we were eating breakfast?" she asked him.
Sky nodded.
"Well as you were in the bathroom getting ready and I wanted to get my cell phone from downstairs I heard how she said some stuff about me." She continued, her eyes narrowing with every word she said.
"What did she say?" he asked, pulling his hand away.
She breathed in deeply and focused on her feet that played around with the sand.
"I don't think that she likes me. She said that I am a whore." She replied with a lump in her throat.
Sky pulled up his eyebrows.
"What?" he asked. "She really said that?" he asked.
Bloom nodded with teary eyes.
"She said that I would have sex with any guy I can get." She added, a tear running down her face. "I never slept with a guy except you." She added, thinking about yesterday night. She was still able to imagine how his perfectly sculptured body had made physical contact with her delicate and fragile one.
By now a few tears were already streaming down her face and she had to wipe them away with her hand.
"Please Bloom. Don't cry." He said, trying to calm her down.
"What should I do? Your mother hates me, and she will probably kill me if she ever finds out about our night together." She cried, crossing her hands in front of her chest.
Sky tried to look into her eyes. He pulled her closer to him and held her in his arms tightly.
"Don't worry. Now that I know about it I will find a way to handle it. You are the most beautiful girl that I know and I won't let you cry." he explained, running over her arm with his fingertips and giving her a kiss on the head.
She calmed down after a while, but she did not know that some mean words were going to flood her eyes with new tears again rather soon.
