Is it me or is it really hot here? Shirtless William above. Perfect Abs,right?______________________________________________________

Ella got up before anyone else,since she didn't really sleep that much during the night. Her mind was in overdrive, the same thing goes for her body, all this just because of one person.

Shaking her head to clear her thoughts,she went into the bathroom to brush her teeth and did her morning business. She threw on her jogging pants, sports bra and sneakers. After tying her hair up with a plastic rubber,she got out of the house and jogged all the way to the beach,while selecting the song she would listen to on her phone.

Just as she expected,the beach was deserted and quite. Ella sniffed the cold and salty air with a smile on her face,before putting her ear buds on after selecting Sia's cheap thrills song.

Giving the dark beach a once over,she began her jog down the long beach with her feet kicking up white sands here and there.

Cool air hit her face at every turn,making the jog even more lively. It cleared her mind,giving no room,whatsoever,for any thoughts at all.

She was so lost in the moment that she didn't realise that she was not alone anymore. It was not until she slowed down to catch her breath,did she realise that someone was also on the beach.

Startled, Ella removed one of her ear buds in time to ear the person laugh. She heaved a sigh of relief when she realised that it was someone she knew.

"Gosh,you scared me!" She smiled William,who was still have fun at the look on her face.

"Sorry,just can't resist it." He said when he got control over his mirth. "That look on your face though."

Then he cracked up again. And soon,the two of them were laughing like idiots. Leaves rustle softly,the waves crashed against the shore and birds chirped in the air. The sounds all together formed a really romantic scene. All that was remaining now is just candles and....

Ella shifted on her foot to clear her train of thoughts.

"It's a surprise to see you this early." She turned and began her journey back the way she came from.

As expected,he fell in step beside her.

"Same here."

"Well I couldn't sleep,so I thought jogging would ease my mind."

"Did it?" He gave her a sidelong glance.

Ella merely shrugged.

The fell into companionable silence. They were almost at the stilts,when William stopped suddenly,causing her to stop too.

"What is it?" She gave him a worried look.

"Look." He pointed behind her.

Ella turned in time to see the sun rising slowly from the horizon. She watched in awe as its golden rays spread across the sky gently,casting a soft magical glow over the sea.

"Wow." She breathed while her eyes remained on the rising sun.

The view was marvelous. Watching it with William made it all the more intimate in a quiet kind of way. Not erotic or romantic,just like a good friends intimate kind of way.

Speaking of which,she turned to look at him,only to find his gaze on her. He was staring at her,the same way he did that night in the gym,as if he wanted to...

She shook her head, for the second time that morning. "Thank you for sharing this view with me. I have to go an get ready now."

"Okay." William felt his breath catch,when the rising sun caught her face,making it glow beautifully.

Ella licked her lower lip and started to turn away but he caught her arm,thereby stalling her escape.

"Promise that we would meet here every morning to watch the sun rise?" He asked her.

"Only if you promise to watch sun set together."

"I promise."

"I do."

Ella felt him release her arm and made a dash for it. It felt as if they just promised each other something much more than just watching sun rise and sun set together.

In a way,the restless feeling she was having earlier dissipated. She was almost at her door when she realised that she forgot to ask him his villa number,yet again.

"Okay, so what happened last night?" Lea sat up right and crossed her legs under her on the wooden chair she was sitting on.

Ella copied the gesture, while gazing out at the aquamarine beauty of the sea. She and Lea met each other at one of the American restaurant this morning. After having breakfast,they both decided to lounge by the beach side, since the was no activity planned for this morning.

People were also on the beach,either lounging,play volley ball or budding sand castles. Which ever way,the beach felt alive and busy.

"Nothing."

"Nothing?" Lea gave her a look of disbelieve. "There's nothing like nothing."

"Yes,nothing." Ella smiled. "Love your rhyme by the way."

"Gracias. If nothing happened last night,then where is hot stuff?"

Ella rolled her eyes. "First,his name is William not hot stuff. Second thing,I am not his keeper,so I don't know."

"Yeah. Tell that to someone who believes bullshit not I."

"Whatever."

"I think... Oh,would you look at that? Speak of the devil and he would walk right in."

Ella already knew what she would see when she turned but she still did it anyway. A gasp escaped her lips for she was not prepared for what she saw. What did she see?

William all dressed in white,with his shirt unbuttoned,showing off his well defined,sculptured and beautiful chest and Abs. He was wearing dark sun glasses,his hair looked windblown and,most importantly, he looked hot and handsome.

Every female with in ten foot radius all turn to ogle him. The air suddenly felt more hotter than before,causing Ella to try to fan herself with her hand as he got closer and closer to them.

Lea leaned towards Ella. "Is it really hot here or is it just me?"

Ella threw her a dirty look without taking her eyes off the Adonis with well sculptured body,slowly coming towards her like a true prince charming.

"Oh,phu-lease. Just shag the man already." Lea laughed when Ella glared at her,with her lips pursed. "What? I am right,aren't I? I mean the look you are giving him right now can melt a cold ice cream."

"Shut up already." She hissed at her just as Will got to them.

"Hello ladies."

"Hot stuff,hello to you too." Lea giggled.

"Hi,Liam." Ella ducked her head slightly.

"Raffy. Are you busy?

"Nope." As usual,Lea answered before her. "She's all yours."

"Then,Raffy,if you don't mind,I want to show you something."

Ella bit her lip and stared at the hand he stretched towards her. Her eyes drifted to Lea's who gave her a subtle nod,before coming to rest on his hand once more.

Before she could stop herself she placed her hand in his and let him pull her up with him.

"Let's go."
