🐾

I woke up because the light that was coming from the window was directly shining brightly on my face.

I sat up and stretched my arms.

I felt like shit. Then I realized I was inside a room that I wasn't even familiar with.

I immediately looked at the person who was sleeping beside me. I sighed in relief when I saw my boyfriend's face.

"What the hell happened?" I asked myself as I looked around.

But when my eyes saw the floor, the memories immediately flashed right in front of me.

The Diner, the diner owner Ms. Marie Carter, the dancing, the drinking, the vomiting on the hotel floor, and the...

My face immediately turned red when I remembered how shamelessly I was begging Damien to have sex with me.

"Shocking isn't it," Damien suddenly says, shocking me.

I looked back at Damien as he sat back up to face me.

I quickly looked away, my face still red because of complete embarrassment.

Damien laughs and pulls my chin so I could look back at him, "Don't worry, the people staying on the other rooms definitely did not hear you begging to have sex with me."

"You idiot!" I shouted as I took a pillow to hit him with it.

Damien laughs hard as he tried to say, "W-what?! You did all the talking...none of those were my fault."

I pouted and rested my head on his shoulder, "That is so embarrassing."

Damien doesn't say anything and just pats my head.

But then, "So...you still want that popsicle?"

My face quickly turned red when I heard Damien ask me that.

I pulled away from him and stood up from the bed, "Nope, I'm fine. Thank you very much."

Damien chuckles and nods his head. Then he stood up and wore his shirt back, "Let me get our things so we could prepare and leave."

"Okay," I simply answered as Damien leaves the room.

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.

"Good job Day. You just made Damien meet the drunk version of you again," I say out loud. Then I opened my eyes back and looked around.

I still didn't know where we were. So I went to the window and opened the curtain.

I almost gasped when I saw the scenery.

The view was breathtaking. The hotel that we were on was only a few meters away from the beach. There weren't any buildings in the area anymore so the place looked totally peacefully.

I stared at the beach, my heart pounding like I just saw the love of my life.

I thought I was even gonna cry too! I cant believe I'm getting so emotional over a beach.

"Babe I got our things," Damien says when he go back.

I quickly looked at him and asked, "Damien! Why are we leaving early?! This place looks amazing!"

Damien puts our things on the bed and answered, "Well that's because I only reserved this room for a day."

"B-But...babe...the BEACH!" I tell him, making Damien laugh.

"Well we can go to the beach if you want. But of course, we have to leave the room," Damien answers me, making me literally jump around like a kid.

"Alright, get ready so we could eat breakfast," Damien says.

I immediately kissed him before running to the bathroom to take a bath.

It took me at least five solid minutes before finishing up.

While I was looking for good clothes to wear to the beach, Damien comes out of the bathroom butt naked. He was only holding a small towel to help dry his hair.

He was as hot as I first saw him, but I ignored him and continued searching for clothes.

"Babe," he called out, making me look back at him again.

"What?" I asked him.

He walks towards me and holds my waist, "Are you seriously going to ignore my effort to seduce you just for beach clothes?"

I smirked and answered him, "Yes," then I went back to looking at the bag.

Damien chuckled and nods his head in defeat. He then wore his own clothes.

He wore something simple so I decided to just wear a blue floral shirt. I wore my shades and remembered, "I think I placed a sunblock here," then I started scavenging the bag again.

Damien takes his own bag and sat on the chair and asked, "Why is the beach so important to you?"

I paused and don't look at him as I answered, "That's because I haven't been to one."

I could hear Damien dropping something, obviously shocked on what I just answered.

"H-how is that possible?" he asked, but with a more shocked tone.

I finally found the sunblock, so I placed in on the side and looked back at Damien.

"Well my parents were very protective so I never really got out much. When I was growing up uncle Hael was always busy too. And come on, I live in the city; there are literally no beaches there. But I have seen them from afar when I'm on the plane or when we drive pass them. But I never touched the water before," I explained.

Damien's mouth was still wide open from shock.

"How is it possible that I grown-ass man like you has never swam in a beach before?" Damien asked, now standing up.

He goes to me and grabs my shoulder, "Dane...you could have told me earlier!"

"W-Well...I didn't know we were even going to a place where there would be a beach," I honestly answered.

Damien took a deep breath and quickly says, "Dane, don't worry. Daddy will make sure you have the greatest first-time beach experience ever!"

*****

"Did you forget anything else?" Damien asked while he waited for me outside the room.

I shake my head and answered, "Nope."

"Then let's go," he says.

I went out and locked the door to join Damien.

"By the way, did you have a good sleep last night?" I asked him.

Damien nods his head and answered, "Yeah. Thankfully when you're drunk, you're as stiff as a stick."

"Well then, you're welcome," I answered, making Damien laugh.

While we were walking down the hallway, I suddenly saw a sexy woman in bikini walking towards us.

I eyed her as she looked at Damien from head to toe.

She flirtatiously smiles, making me glare at her.

Damien was carrying all our things, but he suddenly grabbed my hand with his free hand anyways so he could intertwine our hands together.

The sexy lady got shocked and immediately looked away.

My face burned up as I glanced at Damien.

I expected Damien to be smirking because of how jealous I was again, but instead, Damien had an expressionless face.

I smiled and continued to walk hand in hand with my lover who knows my feelings perfectly well.

*****

"I'll take these back to the car. You return the key," Damien says as he removes his hand from mine so he could head to the parking lot.

I returned the key like what Damien said.

I was about to leave when another beautiful woman slips right in front of me.

Why is a gay man like you seeing so many gorgeous women today!? - Inner Conscience.

More like gorgeous bitches - Inner Inner Conscience.

"Ah shit," she cursed.

I stared at her and realized that she was all wet, like she just got back from swimming at the beach. She was wearing a barely dry white shirt over her wet bikini.

I immediately went to her and showed her my hand, "Are you okay?"

The woman lifts her head to look at me. But instead of answering, her eyes widened from shock as she stares at me directly in the eye.

"Ma'am are you okay?" I asked again.

The woman shakes her head and practically slaps her own head, "Shit...yeah...stupid...I mean, sorry...I'm fine."

I looked at her confusingly but continued to show her my hand.

She suddenly blushes and lifts her hand to grab my hand back, but before she could do so, Damien arrived and grabbed her by the arm and pulled her up so she could stand.

"Great, you can stand," Damien says with a forced smile.

The woman looked back at Damien and almost tripped again when he saw Damien's face.

"Y-You know each other?" the woman asked, blushing even more.

Well I wouldn't lie; Damien looks like a model. I wouldn't even blame her because that's my exact reaction when I first saw Damien too.

"Girl I feel you," I mentally told her.

The gorgeous woman then tries her best not to show off her smile as she tucks her wet hair behind her ear.

But her expression quickly changed like the woman at the hallway as she heard Damien's answer, "Oh yeah...he's my " Damien answered, emphasizing the word boyfriend.

Now it was my turn to blush.

"Nicholas," I scolded, but Damien doesn't say anything.

The woman was obviously shocked. She stares at Damien and I without saying a single word.

I was going to snap my fingers in front of her face when someone suddenly shouts, "Honey! What are you doing?!"

Damien and I turned around and saw another gorgeous woman walking towards us.

"Babe," the woman calls out as the other woman approached her.

"Babe?!" Damien and I asked in unison.

Now it was our turn to be shocked.

"What are you doing with these men?" the other woman asked, practically glaring at us.

"N-No...babe. I tripped and they kinda helped me out," the woman – who was apparently gay too – explained.

Her girlfriend finally looked less tensed as she looks back at us, "Oh, is that so? Thank you then. And sorry, she can be a klutz sometimes."

"Vanessa," the woman shyly says, hitting Vanessa's shoulder.

"Well...no problem," I awkwardly answered.

"Oh yeah, and babe, they're a couple!" the girl suddenly excitedly told her girlfriend.

Vanessa finally looked even more less protective when she heard about the news. She stares at Damien and I and started shaking our hands.

"Well why didn't you say so! I'm Vanessa by the way, and this is my wife Luisa," Vanessa tells us.

Can anything else surprise me today?!

"H-Hi," I answered, trying to absorb everything.

While I was acting like an anti-social person who was forced to greet his relatives in a family reunion, Damien on the other hand looked like a pro. Obviously because he's a person who talks to people for a living, while I sat on a desk facing a computer the whole day.

"It's nice to meet the two of you. I'm glad to meet a couple that's happily married like you guys," Damien says, shaking their hands too.

A few seconds ago he looked like he wanted to kill Luisa, now he looks like he's willing to invite them for a friendly dinner.

"Marriage is risky, but it strengthens your relationship. Well, only if you end up marrying the right person," Vanessa explained, quickly making me glance at Damien.

"Babe we gotta head back to our room," Luisa tells her.

Vanessa nods and looks back at us again, "We're glad to have met you too. Just by looking at you two, I could tell you're a couple whose been through shit."

"You said it," I whispered, but it was still loud enough for them to hear.

Luisa and Vanessa laughed at my side comment.

"Well like marriage, trials strengthen the relationship too. Especially with couples who are like...us," Luisa explained next, and I swear that I could literally see in her eyes that she had faced a lot of criticism in the past too.

"Well it was nice meeting you! Thank you again!" Luisa says before leaving with her wife Vanessa.

Damien and I stood there for a couple of seconds. Then, we looked at each other and started laughing.

"Well that escalated quickly," Damien tells me, making me laugh even more.

"Guess some guys just really have this thinking that any girl who talks to them are low-key flirting with them," I explained, making Damien nod his head in agreement.

"But they did look happy together," I honestly say, unknowingly smiling by just thinking about them.

"Aren't we?" Damien suddenly asked.

I blinked and looked back at Damien. Then I smiled and nodded my head, "We don't just look happy. We ARE happy."

Damien smiles back. He then drapes his arm around my shoulder and said, "So boyfie...should we head to the beach?"

I looked at him and smiled widely, "I thought you'd never ask."

Damien and I quickly walked our way to the beach. And like how I expected, it was stunning.

"It's beautiful!" I shouted as I pulled away from Damien so I could run towards the water.

I immediately removed my shirt and just threw it on the ground.

I walked further and let the waves touch my feet for the very first time.

The sudden contact made me laugh, then, I started feeling teary.

The water was beautiful...

It was breathtaking...

And maybe the reason why I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it was because it reminded me so much of Damien's tantalizing eyes.

"Hey Dane!" Damien called out.

I looked over my shoulder as he continued, "What are you waiting for?!"

I smiled widely and looked back at the sea.

Without caring about anything, I ran.
