Stubborn
Jake.
The birds were chirping and little rays of sunlight seeped through the curtains. I sat up and felt a mild ache on my back. It had been very long since I had slept that badly. After sacrificing the bed for Heather, I had no choice but to lie on the couch. I resented her so much I couldn’t be that close to her. It would lead to temptations that would have terrible effects. I had to let Heather know that I had moved on and had zero interest in her. If she thought we would end up getting back together, she was wrong. I stood up and went to the bedroom of the suite we were staying in because that was where the bathroom was.
Clearly, she heard me coming because when I opened the door, she was seated on the bed, nude, and her big fake breasts showing. I didn’t feel anything so I just continued to the bathroom.
“Good morning to you, too, grumpy.”
I showered as fast as I could and left the bathroom. Heather watched me as I crossed the room and opened my suitcase. I searched through and found the perfect t-shirt and shorts for my day at the beach. I picked out some lotion and applied it to my skin, before letting the towel fall. Heather let out a low gasp after sighting my cock. I went on to put on underwear and the three quarter length shorts.
She jumped out of bed. For a moment, I was worried she would come and try to seduce me but she didn’t. Instead, she picked up her toothbrush and went to the bathroom. I removed everything I needed from my suitcase that day and locked it. When I was in the living room, I called my deputy and other people who I wanted to delegate some work to.
When I was done with the calls, I turned off my phone and placed it on the table before getting up to leave.
“Wait up,” Heather said, opening the door. She was dressed up in a short blue figure hugging dress. Her hair fell down the sides of her face and she had minimal makeup. She looked beautiful. Her beautiful legs were adorned by cute blue flip flops. “Let’s go have breakfast together.”
“Whatever,” I said. She followed me out of the room and locked the door. We went to the elevator which took us to the resort’s restaurant. To get to the restaurant, we had to pass by the lobby.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
When we reached the lobby, a well-dressed woman walked in with two body guards at her sides. I recognised her immediately. It was Ashley Kendall, the supermodel
I had never thought I would be happy to see her, but that time I was. When I saw her, I saw the perfect chance to annoy Heather. How dare she accept to be part of the trip when she knew I wouldn’t be happy? Anyone who allied with my mom was my foe at the time.
Ashley smiled wide when she saw. I stopped walking, and so did Heather. Ashley came to us.
“Jake Rylland,” she said. “What a pleasant surprise.”
Pleasant, I could believe. But, I was very sure it was not a surprise for her to find me there. Ashley looked like the kind of woman who never left anything to chance. When she saw something, she hunted and killed it. The news of my vacation had been plastered all over entertainment media. The fact she arrived that morning was not by chance.
“Indeed, I’m very happy to see you here. How have you been??”
“I’ve been alright,” Ashley said, blatantly ignoring Heather. “I’ve missed you so much. We had a lot of fun at Illistra. We should get back together again like that.”
“We’ll now that we’re both here in Catalina, that is a possibility I cannot wait to explore. You look amazing.”
Heather looked like she was about to kill Ashley. I could tell that she was holding a lot of rage inside herself.
Ashley smiled. “I like that, sweetheart. Where are you off to?”
“I’m going to have breakfast,” I said. “Would you like to join us, or you’ll check in first.”
She shook her little head. “Check in? That’s why I came with my assistant.” She turned. I followed her gaze to a young woman standing around several suitcases. “Jenny will work on that.”
“Let’s go.”
If looks could kill, Ashley and I would be dead by now. Heather was shooting daggers at us as we headed to the restaurant. I ignored her and acted as if I was very happy to have Ashley’s company. Actually, both of them were not that interesting. My vacation would have been a hundred times better if I was with Lilith Hellman. She had more depth than the two of them combined.
We were in one of the best resorts in Catalina Island. Our table was in the balcony and we had a perfect view of the sea nearby. The cool breeze felt very refreshing. Ashley’s smile was the icing to the cake.
To keep appearances, Heather stubbornly refused to move to another table so she could have peace. She was quiet for some time, until she lost it.
“Who do you think you are?” she asked Ashley. “I don’t believe your little comment. I doubt this was a surprise. How desperate can you be following a man around when he doesn’t want you?”
Ashley laughed at loud. “Are you talking about yourself or what? As far as I can see, Jake is very happy that I’m here. It looks like you’re the one who is not wanted. How about you just leave so we can have fun?”
Heather turned to me. “Are you really going to just sit there and watch her talk to me like this?”
I shrugged. “I do not want to get involved in your issues. I’m sorry but you two should act adults and stop bickering.”
Heather stood up. “You know what, I’m not hungry anymore. Enjoy your time with her.”
Ashley smiled.
