Fifty - Three.
Edward.
I was on the pool deck deep cleaning, as they called it, before the next set of guests arrived.
I admit, I was keeping my eye out for her. I could see the drop off area of the port from where I was. I had just stood up from replacing some supplies under the bar when I noticed him. I saw Jake first, he was hard to miss, and then I saw her.
They stood by the cab together, obviously saying their goodbyes. My stomach dropped when they hugged and kissed, multiple times. I was so frustrated with her and I didn't know what to do about it.
After they let go of each other, I went back to cleaning so I could get finished and find her once she was on board.
I received her text message just before I returned to my room.
I'm back. Where are you? - Bella
I didn't immediately respond. I let myself into my room to see her sitting on the edge of the bed. "I was hoping you'd be here."
She smiled and it automatically made me smile.
She stood to hug me, but turned her head when I tried to kiss her. "I missed you," she offered.
I tried to kiss her again, and again she dodged me.
"I'm sick," she finally said. "I've got strep. I've got to be on the antibiotics 24 hours before I'm no longer contagious."
I scoffed. "Who cares? Did he make you sick?"
She nodded. I could tell she wanted to kiss me. I could practically see her contemplating. "I don't want you to get sick."
"I'm a big boy. I can handle it. Now, kiss me."
She grinned and our lips met. I fucking missed her so much. I'd be damned if she went home with him when this was all said and done.
Author's Note: There's one more coming tonight since this one and the last one were shorties. 3
