Just want to inform you guys that this chapter is also like a continuation of the last chapter. So I'm warning you already that this could be a little hit boring because I'm adding some sweet moments of Stephan and Ariana.

By the way, if some of you want to suggest an ending about these two please feel free to message me. I want to hear some suggestions. Thank you.

.....

Stephan and I are heading towards our suite and it's located on the 5th floor of the ship. In this floor are the suites and VIP rooms that are only for selected people.

Which by the way, are us.

Stephan and I are in different rooms so we have our own privacy. I don't know but it was his decision so I got a little disappointed a little because since we did more than just a sleep together in a bed before.

My room is 503 and he's room is just next to mine. The others also had their rooms in the same floor.

I kind of noticed that I  didn't have clothes with me since Stephan literally kidnapped me on our way here. So what should I wear for tonight? We are having a dinner together at the same place we had earlier since that place had everything.

"Hey Stephan, what am I supposed to wear for tonight? You literally dragged me here and I didn't have the chance to pack my own clothes." I grabbed his arm so he could stop from walking. There are no people around on the pathway.

Stephan seems to remembered. "Oh yeah. I forgot about that." He scratched the back of his neck. "But that's not a problem. There are tons of shop downstairs." He turned around as walked ahead towards the elevator.

We got inside the elevator towards the 1st floor of the ship where all the shops are found. Not just shops but all of them sells expensive stuffs and all of them are  big names. Good thing I had my clutch bag with me so my wallets and my phone are there. Seriously, if he just told me that we are going here, then I won't be bothered buying more clothes. I should have packed my own.

"I'm going shopping, Stephan. You're gonna come with me?" I raised an eyebrow at him. I know how much boys hate shopping.

Cliff hates coming with me when I'm shopping.

"Like hell, I would let you go alone." He grunted. When the elevator dings saying that we finally racked the floor, we stepped out and I started scanning the place. Where should I look?

"Why don't you go and search first in Golden Belle." Stephan pointed at this certain shop that had amazing clothes and shoes that the mannequins are wearing in front.

"Golden Belle? This is the first time I heard that brand." I wondered as we walked nearer to it. "Is this new?"

"Yes, she is new to this designing world...thing." He muttered.

"You know the owner?" I asked before I could fully enter the shop. Wait, why am I feeling suspicious immediately. She could be just a friend, right? Or someone close to his family.

Stephan nodded. "If you remembered the owner of the hotel we stayed in Bahamas, Rafael Knight." He stated, "His wife owns this. Her name is Isabelle Knight and she's very nice."

"Oh." I felt so relived. I don't want another competition again with Stephan. There are probably more girls out there who wanted him too.

"I believed that they will be jointing us. We invited Rafael and his wife." He told me as we entered the shop.

And she had amazing taste is styles. The design of this place is gorgeous and so are the clothes. My eyes went towards the shoes area and I practically ran over it.

Shit, I have to boy one of these! Or maybe two! The ankle heeled leather boots looks so stylish that I probably feel like a model when I walked in it.

"You want that?" Stephan appeared beside me.

"God, I wanted it so much! It's so cute!" I exclaimed and told one of the saleswoman to give me a pair of my size.

"You said you are going to buy some clothes." He murmured, as I sat down on one of the comfy seats.

"Stephan, shoes are my babies." I told him then the saleswoman came back with a shoe box on her hand. She handed it to me and I tried it on.

It's so comfy to wear. I was like a kid in a candy store as I stood in front of the mirror. "Alright I'll buy it!" I whispered and then took it off.

Alright, time to buy some outfit. "What do you think I should wear for the whole week?" I asked Stephan.

He shrugged his shoulders and leaned on the stall. "If you ask me, you don't need any clothes. You can walk naked all day. But that's for when you're with me." He wickedly replied.

His response only made me roll my eyes. "Tell that to yourself."

I searched through the rack for some normal clothes first. Maybe some jeans and tshirts will do. Surprisingly, Stephan was helping me. Excuse me, the population of guys who helped a girl when it comes to shopping is very low.

Jeez, I can't help but reddened at what he is showing to me. It seems that he really do cares for me.

Stephan was suggesting some shirts to me, some of simple but some are a little formal. But in total, I was able to satisfy myself in buying 10 tshirts and 3 off shouldered blouse. I also bought some jean shorts, pants and one skirt. Then some slippers and flat shoes. Jeez, he really should have told me to pack first before kidnapping me. This is such a hassle.

I was about to give the girl at the cashier my credit card, Stephan quickly handed her his own.

"Woah hold it, Stephan. I'm paying for my clothes." I told him, giving him a stern expression. "I brought my wallet with me so you don't have to do that."

Stephan shook his head and urged to give his card to her. He won in the end. "You will never spend a single penny when you're with me, Doll." He stated, causing me to feel some goosebumps all over my body.

I can't help but feel some butterflies in my stomach. "Shut up." My cheeks heated up as I tried to hide them from him by looking down. But it failed though, Stephan smirked knowing that he had that affect on me.

When the girl handed the paper bags at me, I was really going to grab it when Stephan, once again, grab it quicker than me and carried them for me. "So, shall we go to our rooms?"

It made me chuckle at what he is doing. He is acting like a real boyfriend even though he is not.

The smile in my face had longed for our whole way towards our room in trouble upper floor. We look like a romantic couple as we walk with him carrying all of my shopping bags. I didn't know Stephan can be sweet too.

Stephan handed me a card to open my door and I noticed his place next to mine.

I slid my card on the lock and it opened automatically. "Just call me if you need anything." I heard him spoke. I nodded and head inside my suite because I'm so excited to see what's inside.

And damn, my jaw dropped for the nth time.

The place sparkles in my eyes. It's not that huge and it's not that small but the view is breathtaking! This is the best place ever! The room has a dim light but it works with the structure of the place. The whole ocean can be seen through the large glass windows. I am turning into a little girl who wants to jump on the soft bed right now. This is amazing.

I was like a kid running around and examining every part of the room especially on the window part. I watched how the waves had form as they crash to the rocks.

Oh thank you God.

I've never been in a cruise before but definitely this is the best of all.

I placed all the clothes on the rack so they won't sit long in the shopping bag.

Since it's 3 hours before the dinner that they are saying. I still have time to take a quick shower.

.....

I was wearing the off shouldered blouse and simple torn jeans shorts that I bought in Golden Belle. It would be an honour if I meet the owner tonight because these clothes are so comfortable to wear and they are simple but stylish.

I was combing my black hair when there was a knock on the door. I dropped the comb on the desk to open it for him. Since it can't be open from the outside.

"Are you ready?" Stephan spoke once the door was opened. Revealing him, wearing a simple button up blue shirt and black slacks. He is still wearing his glasses which only added his appeal.

"Yeah. Just in time." I told him, leaving the door open for him to enter as I head back to the mirror and finished combing the rest of my hair.

I saw him stood behind me from the mirror as he stares at me from head to toe.

"Are you fantasising me, Mr. Draco?" I asked , in a flirty way.

Stephan let out a husky chuckle. "Keep telling that to yourself, Ariana. I'm just checking out what you are wearing." He claimed possessively. "Well, you past though. You look so beautiful wearing that top."

I laughed then checked myself one more time at the mirror before turning around to face him. "Should I put on some make up?"

He shook his head. "You're fine as you are always, Doll. Don't need those crappy things."

I leaned my lower back on the desk as I raised an eyebrow at him. "You're playing with me again." I sigh, shaking my head.

"No, I'm not." He denied. "Actually, I prefer my girl without any makeup in their faces."

I wrinkled my nose and crossed my arms. "Good for her then. Who's your girl by the way?"

Stephan let out a short chuckle as he flashed those pearly white teeth. "She's standing beautifully and sexily in front of me."

I let out a loud laugh that bursted out from me. "Well, Mr. Draco, if I'm not mistaking. You haven't properly asked me to be your girlfriend."

"Well, do you want to?" He asked, cheekily.

I patted his shoulder and gave him a fake sad look. "Think of a better way and I better time to ask me about that, asshole." I told him, walking passed him. "Lets go. The others are probably waiting for us."

He chuckled while shaking his head. "I can't believe I got rejected. This is a first." I heard him muttering but I can sense that he is kidding.

We left my suite and I made sure that I was locked before leaving it. We head towards the elevator towards our meeting place. Stephan said that they changed the place and we are going have to dinner at the private bar of this ship.

So right now, I'm praying that I get along with his friends. Wish me luck. I don't want to feel out of please because these people are not the people that I feel comfortable with yet.

.....

We arrived into this another suite that has a bar, a huge leather lounge chair. Another huge mirror was there that was covered with these thick silky curtains and on the side was a mini bar.

The men are already gathered there, having some drinks. Boy, they do love to fun with some alcohol. I noticed the man that owns the hotel in Bahamas is here too. His name is Rafael Knight, if I am correct. And next to him sits a beautiful slender woman with long, curly golden hair. Oh don't tell me, she is the owner of Golden Belle?

"Why does it always have to be Stephan who is arriving last?" Christian remarked, noticing us coming.

The rented girls are here too and they all looked at me with judgements eyes. Well, at least I look good just wearing simple clothes unlike them that looks like sluts with those skimpy dresses.

There is a huge table at the centre of the couch where there behold so many foods.

So everyone was having dinner already.

Stephan and I sat next to each other as I noticed Steve, our butler, placed two plates in front of us. I thanked him silently and he bowed his head in return.

Stephan took the table napkin and placed it on my lap. Like a proper boyfriend would do.

"What do you want to eat?" He asked me causing the boys to stare at him.

I gave a puzzled look at them. There stares are making me uncomfortable. "Um...the salad...please?"

Then he served me the bowl of salad in front of him and placed some normal amount of green vegetables on my plate. "Um, I can do that myself, Stephan." I told him, placing a hand on his arm as he served himself as well.

"But I want to do it." He replied, placing the bowl back to its place before then took the fork to eat the meal. Until he finally noticed the look on everyone's faces. "What?"

They all just shook his head yet Rafael just smiled and wraps an arm around his wife's shoulders. "What love can do to people." I heard him mutter.

The men all silently chuckled.

"No way, I'm gonna let that love affects me." Zephyr spoke, with a cold and low tone.

"Yeah, it'a disgusting." Lucas stated next, drinking the glass of champagne.

I looked at each one of them and noticed that they are drinking champagne. These boys will surely die early because of their hobbies. They drink those things like they are water.

"What drink to you want, Mr. Draco?" Steve asked, politely.

"Red wine, Steve. Thank you." He answered.

Then he turned to me. I cleared my throat before answering. "Just water, please."

"Right away." He responded, bowing his head once again. That hobbit of him is irritating me. He's not a slave so he doesn't have to do that and most of all, I'm not a princess or any royalty to received such actions.

"Why are you glaring at Steve?" Stephan whispered with his eyebrows frowned.

"Does he really have to do that every time he serves us?" I questioned.

"They all are, Ariana." Marco replied who is just sitting in front of me. "'My butler over there is even worse than yours. He wanted to guard me inside my bathroom while I'm taking a shower."

"Maybe he's gay." Slut one with the blonde hair said, causing the others to chuckle.

"Are you always that judgemental?" Marco retorted back at her then returned back on eating.

The dinner passed nicely. It looks like the guys haven't seen each other for years because they are nonstop. They would always come up with a new topic to talk about. And they are all lunatics and perverts. They would always talk about some dirty things.

A few hours later, they are still talking but Stephan did not forget me. He would turn to me from time to time and ask me if I want something or if I'm okay. Then all of us girls decided to stand sit by the bar instead to give the boys their time since we can't stand their dirty jokes.

When I sat on one of the stool, Rafael's wife sat beside me.

"Hi, I noticed that you bought my clothes." She smiled at me. "You are Stephan's girlfriend, right? Ariana Cruz?"

I chuckled. "Hi, yeah. Your clothes are amazing...all of them are. And no, I'm not his girlfriend." I quickly answered honestly. "Your Mr. Rafael'a wife?"

She nodded, shyly. Oh these girl can blush.

"Mrs. Knight, I must say, I love your designs." I just blurt out. "Those boots and clothes are so good! If I can just buy all of them."

She laughed, covering half of her lips with his hand."Thank you. I really appreciate it. And thank you for wearing my clothes. Oh and please, just call me Belle. Don't go formal with me."

Belle.

So that explains why she named her shop Golden Belle. It suits her with that golden hair. "Girl, you don't want to know how I came here. I have no choice but to buy a whole wardrobe." I scoffed.

"Why is that?" She wondered.

"I was literally kidnapped by Stephan when I was on my way towards my shop." I shared, seeing her reaction.

She lets out a smile. "Kidnapped? It seems that we encountered the same fate."

"You were kidnapped to be here too?"

Belle shook her head. "No. My husband kidnapped so he could marry me."

I suddenly laugh at the cute story they had. "That was actually kind of romantic."

"Romantic?" She gasped with eyes wide open. "I would rather call it traumatising." She called it and we both laughed. "Wait, you also have a shop? What is it?"

"I have a bakery in Anderson City." I answered. "I only have one branch and it's there so it's that big yet."

"So you and Stephan hold the same interest. You two are both chef."

"Yeah, and I think that makes us even."

"Destined, perhaps." She added. "You know what, Stephan told me so many things about you. So it feels like I already know you."

My mouth opened a little. "He did?"

She nodded. "Yes, he did. Just don't tell me I said that to you." She whispered and lets out another soft laugh. "But don't get me wrong, we are really just good friends. I met him because of my husband, I guess that was 2 years ago and he told me how much he regrets the days he missed not telling you how he really feels."

I smiled happily, "He really said that?"

"Yes and girl, if I were you, I should have kicked Cliff's cheating ass once Stephan showed himself to me." She made a bitch face.

Oh, she also knows about Cliff. Am I really the only one who didn't knows about his tricks? Jeez, I really should have known a very long time.

Belle and I talked for hours and it was nice to know her. It's better to talk to her than the three sluts because all they did was gossip about something. Belle also told me that she was not the average girl that she used to be and that confused me a little. She is very nice and talented.

She even told me that she will be the one to design my wedding gown if Stephan and I will get married.

"You two seems to be having fun." Stephan broke our conversation as he head towards me.

Rafael wrapped her arms around Belle's waist from behind and planted a kiss on her exposed neck. Oh, what a sweet couple. They do look like they are so in love with each other.

"Yeah, we are getting along very well. I found a new best friend." I told Stephan who had his one hand on my crossed legs while the other is resting at the middle of my back.

"I'm glad to know." He dropped a kiss on top of my head and inhaled my scent.

"So, shall we call it a night, idiots?" Rafael stated, referring to all of us.

"Yeah, I need to get laid already." Christian stretched his arms in the air and grabbed one of the sluts' hand that caused everyone to make a disgusted face.

"Are you tired, baby?" I heard Rafael whispered at Belle.

She shook her head. "No, I'm fine."

"Good then." Rafael huskily whispered and I can sense where they are heading once they reached their suites.

I just laughed and grabbed Stephan's hand. "Come on. Lets go back to our suites."

Stephan nodded and squeezed my hand. "We'll be going ahead, guys. See you tomorrow."

The we both left the place. My heart was fluttered knowing that our hands are intertwined and walking like couples. It was actually fun to know more sides of him and ready to know more of him.

I know Stephan and I had a lot of things to catch up too but we are don't have to rush. We have all the time we need and no one is gonna stop us this time.

No more.

Stephan and I are now standing in front of my door and none of us wanted to let go of our hands.

"So, good night then." He murmured, stepping closer to me as our chest touched.

"Good night." I answered back, but in a whisper. I don't know but it suddenly felt hot all of a sudden.

Stephan placed a hand on my cheek and caressed it as his were deeply focused into mine. "Before this night ends, I want to tell you how much you made me happy today. To come with me and spend this day with me."

"Does it look like I have a choice?" I teased, letting out a sigh then grinned. "Well, I'm happy too, Stephan."

He grinned this time. "Good. Now, shall I get a reward?" He cheekily requested.

I let out a laugh and playfully slapped his chest. "You naughty boy." Then slowly, I stood on my tiptoes to reach his lips and kissed him slowly.

Once again, sparks exploded as they touched. His kisses are the best thing that I have ever received in my entire life. They can make my worries away and all the pain to dissolve. Jeez, I don't care anymore.

Stephan is the best. No doubt about that and I'm ready to fight with him. I want to face all things as we are together. No more fears and regrets. Just him.

We were kissing deeply that I can hear it. He had my back against the door. Our tongues are battling for dominance as I can't express how magical it feels. My heart can burst out any moment now.

When we pulled away, he was smirking when I opened my eyes. "That was the best reward ever." He stated and I punched his arm.

"And that is the only reward that you can get now, Mr. You'll receive more as the days passed...if only." I seductively bit my lower lip and wrapped both of my arms around his neck. "If only, you became a good boy." I pinched his cheek then in a swift, I already had my card to open my door and quickly got in my room and closed it in his face.

I let out an evil laugh. Hope you can sleep peacefully with that kiss, Stephan.

I can a bad girl too, y' know.
