Authors Note- Hey! Thanks for all the reviews! They mean so much and I am happy that you are enjoying my story. Sorry, I haven't been updating recently. I was really busy shopping and hanging out with my friends. But here is the next chapter. I hope you enjoy it!
Chapter 3
Aria's POV
I kicked the sand with my bare, manicured toes. Ezra and I were taking a romantic, morning walk on the beach. The sea looked peaceful in the morning. The waves slowly, lashed and ebbed on the shore, barely touching my feet before returning back to the sea. Sea gulls were flying high up in the sky, occasionally emitting high pitch shrieks. A pleasant breeze was flowing through the air, lifting my hair and shoving it into my face.
I spotted a hammock nearby and tugged on Ezra's hand gently, to get his attention. "Let's go sit on the hammock," I suggested, pointing a finger to the wide hammock. Ezra nodded and we lazily dawdled to the hammock. Once we were comfortably laying on the hammock, I put my head on Ezra's chest. He wrapped his strong arms around my waist and we cuddled for what felt like eternity. After a few minutes, I was drifting off to sleep.
I was awoken from my light sleep when the rays of the smoldering sun burned on my back. I sat up and rubbed my hazel eyes, blinking a few times before I was fully awake. I uncomfortably shifted on the hammock, waking Ezra up in the process. "How about we go for a swim?" I asked, once Ezra was fully awake.
I grabbed my pink tote bag and we hoped off the hammock. There was a huge swimming pool, right behind the beach, a mere 5 minutes away. We casually walked to the pool, taking in the magnificent scenery. This resort was full of greenery making this trip even more perfect. When we reached, I tossed my bag on an empty deck chair. We shredded our thin clothing and laid out our beach towels on two empty deck chairs.
"Do you want me to put some sun block on you?" Ezra asked. It was about a billion degrees outside. The pleasant breeze that was there in the morning had vanished, replaced with the smoldering sun. I could feel the suns strong rays burning through my back. I definitely needed some protection from the sun.
"Sure," I nodded. I unzipped my tote and grabbed the sun block, handing it to Ezra. He squeezed some onto his hand and I lay down on the deck chair. Within a few seconds, I felt his steady arms slathering the lotion on my almost tanned back. Once my back was buried under a layer of sun screen, he moved to my legs. Once he was done, I got up and gave him a long kiss. "Thank you."
After I finished putting sun screen on him, we hopped off the deck chair. I dipped my right toe in the water and shuddered. "It's cold, I am going to freeze-"
Before I could finish my sentence, Ezra had lifted me up over his shoulder. Suddenly, I heard a loud splash and realized that Ezra had threw me into the freezing water. "Cold! Cold! Cold!" I shrieked, shocked my his sudden action.
Ezra chuckled and dived in. "Ha ha! Gotcha!" He then splashed some water on me and I shrieked again.
"It is so on!" I yelled. I splashed him back and we had a playful splash fight until we were panting for air and were too tired to continue.
Ezra grabbed my waist and pulled me in for kiss. "I love you." He confessed. "I love you too," I replied. We swam some more until it was lunch time and we were starved to death.
"Let's get something to eat," I suggested. Ezra nodded and we got out of the pool and returned to our deck chairs. I lay down next to Ezra and put on my sun glasses. Ezra grabbed the lunch menu and we browsed through the massive food selection.
"How do feel about splitting a burger and some fries?" Ezra asked, once we were done reading the menu. Actually, I was the one who did all the reading. Ezra just drooled over the delicious pictures.
"Don't you think that will be kind of inadequate?" I asked, but then blushed as soon as I realized what I said. "Just kidding," I added at once.
Ezra grinned and placed our order. When the food came, we happily dug into it. The burger tasted delicious and so did the crispy fries. I know that this food will make me look really fat in my bikini, but I did not care. I blocked out all my problems and ate the dish. "This is amazing!" Ezra exclaimed, putting the last french fry into his mouth. "Uh huh" I agreed, licking my tongue.
"Hey, how about we go to the sauna? It is getting kind of cold in here." I suggested, hugging myself.
"Sure!" Ezra replied. He handed our plate over to a nearby waiter. We did not bother to take our stuff with us, it not like anyone would actually steal anything.
Luckily, the resort had a couple's sauna so we would not be separated. We walked into the hot, relaxing sauna. We were about to take a seat, when something, or someone, to be precise, caught my eye. In front of me was Ezra's ex-fiancée, a.k.a my biggest enemy in the entire universe, Jackie Molina.
"Oh My God!" I gasped. This was not going to be a relaxing, trouble free vacation after all. This was a recipe for disaster.
Authors Note- Wow! This was a cliffhanger! What do you think is going to happen? Do you think Jackie is here with somebody else or alone? Do you think she has moved on or is still in love with Ezra? So many questions! I promise to answer MOST of the questions in the next chapter. Now the drama in this story will begin. Review and tell me your thoughts. I love reading your reviews! Okay this is a really, really, really, long authors note and I should probably shut up now!
