•Chapter thirteen•
"So, yesterday, you and Eugene huh?" Amy brings up.
I roll my eyes, sometimes I get the urge to smack her with Rapunzels frying pan.
"If the next words out of your mouth are 'here's a giant cookie' this conversation is over."
She thinks for a second before turning back to her breakfast.
We are at the hotel breakfast joint where you are served pretty much anything you want. I had stacked pancakes with chocolate sauce.
Amy was eating rice and sausages.
"I like your shirt." Sebastian says to Amy, as she looks down to see it for herself, she blushes and thanks him.
Looks like it's Cupid time.
I nodded to hunter across the table, he glanced at me then he stood up with me and we left the two love birds behind.
"Do you want juice?" I ask hunter.
"Only if there's sour sop."
"Okay." I keep my eyes on the names of the juices while walking around the table.
I bump into someone, my body crashing and stumbling back.
"Sorry, are you okay?"
I look up and see a handsome boy, blonde hair, greyish blue eyes staring back at me.
"I'm fine." I say smiling.
"Okay, that's good, were you looking for something?" He asks me with a heart melting smile.
I have to say, holy cow.
Except, for some reason Eugene came into mind. He's good looking but Eugene is way better.
I shook my head getting rid of the little voice. It's not all about looks.
"Sour sop, for hunter." I say gesturing to hunter beside me.
"Who?" The boy says looking confused.
I look back to where hunter is but he was no longer there. I mentally yelled at him for leaving me.
"Ah, he's- gone?"
"Is he your boyfriend?" The blonde boy asks.
I nearly burst out laughing. "Oh no! He's ten, a friends little brother."
"Oh, ah sorry." He looked quite embarrassed.
I let out a small laugh.
"My name is Oscar, by the way." The boy says.
"Nice to meet you, I'm-"
A voice behind, interrupted.
"Edythe? Who's this?"
I could tell it was Eugene's, and he's tone was hard, forward, nearly demanding.
I spun around giving him a slight glare. He gives a slight glare at Oscar.
"This is Oscar." I say to Eugene.
"And this is Eugene." I say to Oscar.
"Hey man!" Oscar smiles.
"Look, it was nice to meet you but, Edythe we are going now, I'm on a tight schedule." Eugene stated. Someone's grumpy again.
I nod, sighing. "It was nice meeting you Oscar."
"You too, I hope to meet you again." He smiled at me.
Eugene gave a little huff with some in-comprehensive words.
"Who pissed in your fruit loops this morning?" I question him.
"No one." He says.
Okay.
We meet back up with Amy Sebastian and Hunter who was currently at the souvenir store.
"Is that what your buying?" The cashier lady asks politely.
"No, I'm stealing it, I just wanted to show you first." Amy says sarcastically.
"She's kidding, yes we are buying it." Sebastian says quickly.
I look in the bag, and frown.
"You brought a map, and two teddies?"
"What? They're cute." Amy says giving me and unsatisfied look.
"Okay." I hold my hands up in defence.
At least Cupid is working on them.
I mean, did Eugene really have to come at that exact moment? Oscar was a nice guy, and Eugene had to ruin the moment in less than ten seconds. Cupid needs to step up its game.
"So what now?" I ask.
"Now, we go for a swim." Eugene says. At first I didn't think he was serious. But I should have know, he's serious about almost everything. I was expecting him to laugh and tell me he's kidding but his face was dead straight, waiting for my reaction.
"I didn't know you knew what fun was." I say amused.
He shakes his head and a smile creeps on his lips.
"Let's go!" Amy yells pulling on my arm.
"Okay, okay!" I say as I was being dragged by my best friend.
We reached the elevator, I loved them. Except if your trapped in one, that's just a nightmare waiting to happen. I mean trapped in elevator with Eugene... I would rather pull my hair out one by one and knit an ugly sweater out of it.
"Oh, I forgot to pack my bathers!" My eyes widened in realisation.
"It's okay, Edythe, you can go naked." Sebastian winked.
"Ew." I say punching his arm.
"Ow, why do you have to be violent?" He asks rubbing his arm.
"Cause I can." I say.
"Last one in the pool is a rotten egg!" Hunter yells as soon as the elevator doors open. He bolted out down the hallway to his room door.
"It's no use if you don't have the key buddy!" Eugene yells to him.
Hunter smirks and holds up the key card. Eugene looks down at his empty pocket. That ten year old is sneaky.
We came to the doors to see Hunter had thrown Eugene's swim shorts out the front of the door.
He picked it up and then turned the handle to his room but it was locked.
"Did Hunter really just lock you out?" I say laughing.
"Hunter!" Eugene says banging his hand in the door. "Don't make me come in there!"
"Then stay out there, you butt, don't come in here." Was hunters reply.
I laugh even more clutching my stomach. I unlocked my own door and went in.
"Wait, can I get changed in your bathroom please." Eugene said clutching his swim shorts by his side.
Damn
I roll my eyes. "Make it quick."
"Thank you, thank you!" He says as he makes is way to the bathroom.
I walk into the walk in robe and Amy passed my a spare pair of her bathers. She was wearing hot pink ones that looked stunning on her.
I grabbed the turquoise ones which were a beautiful colour.
I held them up, frowning. "Amy this is barely gonna cover me."
"Don't be silly, they'll look perfect!" She says shutting the door behind her as she leaves me to change.
"Wonderful."
I put on the two piece and looked in the mirror. I was too skinny for this. Amy had more body weight which made a perfect curve on her hips, but she wasn't fat of course.
Maybe if I put on a large shirt over the top?
I searched in my bag and pulled out a grey shirt. I pulled it over my head and nodded. "That's better." I say to myself.
A knock came upon the door of the walk in robe.
"Yeah?"
"Amy says hurry up." Eugene's voice said on the other side.
I didn't answer, I was too caught up in how a mirror could make you look ugly. My hair looked like a crime scene. The curls weren't tamed, but all over the place. My hand reached up to flatten it down.
My lips were the only thing that looked okay, it was shaded with red, probably because of the amount of times I've bitten down on it.
"Edythe are you okay?"
I forgot he was standing outside.
"Fine."
I clipped my hair up, pulling down some strands.
I opened the door to nearly bumping into Eugene.
"Is that what your wearing?" He asks raising an eyebrow.
Did he just look me up and down?
"Ah yeah, why?" I ask curiously.
"Nothing." He says.
"What? Are you used to seeing bikinis? Well I guess I have to disappoint you." I point out.
"Is that why your so pale?" He asks.
"Yeah, vampires don't go out in sunlight." I muffle a laugh.
"Please don't be insecure about what you look like Edythe, everyone has flaws. But we are all human, just different shapes and sizes." He says calmly. His brown eyes boring into mine. His brown hair, I must say, was incredibly tempting to run my hand through.
Did I really just think that?
Woah, Edythe, slow down your heart why is it jumping out of your chest?
I look down on the floor, my teeth sunk into my lip.
His hand came up to my chin and tilted it upwards to catch my eyes again.
Why did he look so incredibly hot right now?
His lips. God. What's wrong with me?
His eyes flicker to my lips then
suddenly in a quick movement his lips pressed against mine. I felt Butterflies, no, the whole damn zoo in my stomach.
It took me by surprise, what do I do? I thought he hated me and I certainly didn't like him. But that was before. Now I did one of the stupidest things I could ever do.
My arms wrap around his neck bringing him closer as I kissed him back. I don't know what I was doing but damn he was good. Shivers went throughout my body, I melted, my heart roared.
He pulled away first, we both breathed for air. My lips buzzed, I was a bit disappointed he pulled away first.
He stared at me for a few seconds before his eyes widened. "I took your first kiss."
I didn't know what to say. I don't know if I was glad he did. What if I wanted my first kiss to be Oscar? But right now, all I could think of was him, Eugene.
"I took- sorry." He stutters.
I frown, why was he sorry?
Then the next five words hit me like a ton of bricks, I wanted to crawl up in a ball in drown in my own tears.
"I shouldn't have done that." He whispered.
