Ezra's pov

"I am good Declan. Yaa we just reached an hour ago."

I speak on the phone. After having united with everyone. Ben and Stel ,were literally going to hug me to death. After saying sorry again and again.

And me being me. Forgave them, it was not their fault anyways.

Everyone was getting ready to go to the beach ,while I was talking to Declan. While sipping some coffee.

Trying to soothe my rugged throat.

"Your voice is still heavy. Your cold is still not getting better? You took the medicines I sent you or no?"

I rub my neck in awkwardness. How do I say it?

"I took it. "

"For how many days Ezra?"

"Umm once. Twice a day."

"You really never take care of yourself. I asked you to take them for 3 days atleast."

"I am sorry Declan. But it will get better itself. Trust me."

I hear him sigh on the other side and I smile. He is so caring and perfect. I bet any girl will be happy to have him as her boyfriend.

"Okay. But you will tell me if it gets worse. Okay?"

" I will Dec. And what will you do then? You will ask me to take more medicines I guess."

I say taunting. To only go silent on hearing his reply. A blush tainting my cheeks.

"If it get's worse then..... I will get on the first flight to Miami and come directly to you belle."

I look down shyly. Damn man, this man. He really knows how to use his charms, even on a call.

"And now I can bet you are blushing"

I hear him chuckling on the other side. And I scream on the phone.

"Declan! "

"Belle...you are just so innocent."

"Ezra! Hurry up! "

I hear Stel shouting and I put down the phone, to reply.

"Coming Stel! Just a second."

Placing the cell back on my ear, I was going to apologise, when he interrupts me in between.

"I am sorry I have-"

"Go Belle. Take care of yourself. Okay?"

"You too Dec."

"Bye"

"Bye Belle"

Ending the call. I smile to myself. Hugging the phone to my chest.

How nice does it feel to have someone to ask you everyday. How you are.

"Are you just going to just stand there and smile like a freak the entire day. Or will you come?"

I look back to see Aaron standing there. Just outside the door. Waiting for me to come out. His eyes cold and emotionless as usual.

A loose vest doing no justice in covering his toned chest ,and a backpack loosely hangs on his shoulder.

I don't say anything. To only look around to find everyone outside.

Walking passed him, I wait for him to move aside from the threshold,to only find him his eyes running down my frame.

Making me conscious.

"Don't tell me you are going to the beach wearing this?"

He says in annoyance. To only have me look down.I wore a Capri and a top. Aren't they suitable for a beach?

I look out to see Stel and Andriana in bikini's . Covering it up with transparent robes. And I felt a little insecure, but again. I wasn't comfortable in showing skin, it makes me conscious. So I am fine in this.

"Um they all are going to swim. And I don't know how to. So yah. I am good"

He just stares at me. To only scoff.

"Whatever"

He says moving out ,while I hear him speak to himself.

"It's not like she has any curves to flaunt in it anyways."

This. This is what I hate about him guys. I know I am not curvy like Stel and Andriana. They are supermodels for God sake,and I am just a school teacher. I can't even compete myself with them.

But I am happy the way I am.

Go hell with his prospects of beauty. It's not like ,I want to impress anyone with it.

"Jerk"

Saying it intentionally to him. I walk past him, hitting my shoulder with his.

To only jump into the jeep that we hired.

He stops for a second. To give him his infamous look again to only , have Ben call him.

"Hurry up bro! Let's get the party started!"

With one last look at me. He nods, sitting at the driver's seat. While I look at everyone, excited.

I still find him looking at me through the rear mirror as he starts the car and I ignore him this time.

. . . I won't let him ruin my fun! . . .

It was afternoon and I was casually sitting on the beach chairs with a book in one hand and a watermelon juice in another.

Everyone kept their valuables beside me ,as I was the only one not swimming.

My eyes trail to towards them and I almost feel like I am missing the fun.

If only I knew how to swim.

They were smiling, throwing water at each other. Andriana and Stel were busy , throwing their hair back. Trying to get the perfect picture. While Ben and Neil were literally racing, like 7 year olds and then brickering.

"Princess! Tell him I won. He is cheating here!"

"Oh come on Cupcake! You just saw didn't you? I won it! Bro can't just accept it that he lost to me!'

I look at Ben and Neil in confusion. Who to choose? To be honest Ben won, but Neil's face? I don't want him to feel bad.

"Umm guys! Can we do again. This was a dra-"

"Ben! You won this round! "

Aaron says, rubbing his hair with the towel while standing beside me. And I look at him with a duh look.

Damn straight.

He looks at me and I clench my fists. Way to honest, huh?

"Bro! Shit!"

Neil whines. As Ben exclaims in happiness. To only have them go for the next round.

Throwing aside the towel, near my feet. Aaron looks back at his laptop kept beside me, to only order me.

"Take care of it."

I barely nod to only mimick him when he turns his back on me. Looking at his expensive laptop placed beside me.

Who brings work to beach?

Well it's Aaron Reed then. The man can do anything.

I smile seeing them enjoy, laughing in the waters. And you may call me crazy but I was enjoying this more than being in the water's itself.

"Ezra! Come! "

Ben says, and I just shake my head. Saying I was content here. Half and hour passed and I felt the urge to go to the washroom, but seeing the stuff placed beside me.

I controlled myself.

More minutes passed and the pressure was being unbearable. Thankfully I see Andriana walking towards me.

And I literally get up, rushing towards her.

"Hey. Can you please take care of the stuff?"

"I need to go to the loo"

She gives me an irritated look. Looking behind at the chair where the things are kept to barely nod.

"Fine. But hurry up"

I nod. Nearly rushing towards the washrooms behind. Once relieved, I walk back to only see Andriana sitting on my chair. Busy on some call.

Sighing I approach her.

To only have my heart literally drop. As I see the laptop missing.

"Wh...ere is it?"

I ask Andriana. To only find her busy on the call. Ignoring me.

"Andriana! I asked where the hell is it?"

She places down her phone ,to answer back in a voice. That shook my innocent heart. Her voice loud, drawing everyone's attention.

"What dammit! Can't you see I am talking to someone! "

I gulp. Fear entering my insides. No ..no...no... I have to find it. I can't loose it!

"The laptop Andriana. I told you to take care of it."

She gives me an indifferent look. Not bothered.

"So? I was busy? Can't you see"

This girl! What am I going to do.

"Did you see someone come here? Anyone?"

I look at her in hope. To have her nod.

"I think...a guy came here offering some sunglasses, souvenirs and stuff like that...but I am not sure."

Running my hand through my hair, I look around. That has to be it.

"Did you see his face? How does he look like?"

She rolls her eyes at me. As if I am talking sh**.

"Do you really think that I will notice a hawker and remember how he looks like? "

Aghhh! Can I strangle this girl! I feel my heart thudding as I look around. To only hear a voice from behind, that made my heart to sink.

"What's going on here?"

I lower my eyes. To only see Andriana to rush towards him, going into the waters and lock her arms around his neck.

"See baby, some laptop got stolen from here and the girl is blaming it on me."

I see his expression change from anger to fury and trust me. I have rarely seen him like this.

"What the fuc*! Where is my laptop!"

He says pulling down Andriana's arms. To only go towards the chair where he kept it. He picks up the towels placed there to throw them aside , finding them no where.

And that's when my worst fear, became a reality.

"Where the hell is it Ezra!"

He literally screams. Making my heart to thud and steps to stager back. His eyes were no longer cold and emotionless, but rather murderous.

My mind numb as I try to concoct a sentence.

"I....I....went to...the washro-'

"I don't care! I asked you where is the fuc"ing Laptop!"

"Umm I..."

I couldn't say anything. And before I know. He literally steps towards me to hold my shoulders ,and shake them.

"Answer me!"

He booms and that's when the first tear leaves my eyes as I look into his furious grey orbs.

My words low,as I barely whisper.

"I...lost it...."

And the storm that lit in his eyes that second. Told me, that I am going to be dead today.

For the man in front of me, looked like a stranger.

I had not known till date.

Ben and Neil rush towards us, asking him to stop. But it was too late.

With fury enraging in his eyes, I feel him push me back. To only have me fall into the waters behind.
