39 So Many Things To Do

Once he was recently dressed, Adam called out, "You can look now."

Alice who had been staring at the wall, turned around and was once again stunned by the man's stunning visuals. Today he was dressed in a simple beige sweater and jeans with his wet disarrayed hair falling over his forehead. For the first time, she also noticed that he was wearing a diamond stud in his ear that made him look like a real bad boy with a slightly wicked aura.

Ignoring the fact that she was still ogling him, Adam picked up his wallet and slid it into his jeans as he said, "Let's go then, babe. I'll grab something to eat for now and then we can look around at the island."

Alice however did not walk to the door of the room. Instead she walked towards the bathroom and then came out with a major drier in her hand. "It is windy outside. You need to blow your hair. Wet hair is equal to real cold."

Adam was stunned for a few minutes when he heard the familiar words he had once told her. Did she remember him or not? Turning back, he plugged in the drier but made no move to take it from her. In stead, he casually grabbed the chair and sat down in front of her saying, "Then I will have to trouble you."

Alice looked down at the man who was sitting leisurely on the chair and waiting for her to serve him. Shaking her head, she turned on the drier and blew it on his hair. Soon, she was running her hands through his messy hair and she could only marvel at the softness of them. She could do this forever! Finally, with his hair styled into a messy look, because of Alice's sudden interest in flicking them, Adam and Alice made their way towards the deck, ready to leave the ship for a while.

"Why are we not going for breakfast first? I thought you were hungry?", Alice could not help but ask.

But soon she had her answer when she noticed Mou Zirui standing there with a brown bag clutched in her hand. Adam took the bag thankfully and said," Thank you Zirui! I was about to go down when I received your message." Almost jumping on the balls of her feet, Zirui grinned up and said," Everyone knows that you enjoy fresh cinnamon churros so I specially asked the kitchens to prepare these! I hope you like them! Anyways, we are going to the small inlet on the other side of the island. It's a good place for swimming as the water is shallow and a fresh river merging into the sea so it is also quite warm! Would you both like to join us?"

Actually, Zirui had no plans to harass them but Samual had suggested that the couple might enjoy some privacy. And naturally she was all for it! And just then she remembered something and leaning forward whispered," A friend of mine was asking about your relationship with Chairwoman Alice. I, naturally did not tell him anything and simply said that I know nothing of it. He has promised me that he will not tell anything to anyone. But I have promised you so I will refrain from saying anything. Anyways the inlet is very private. He is the one who suggested that place! Do you want to take her there?"

Adam wondered who this friend was that suggested such a place but he knew that Alice would not be comfortable so he politely declined and asked," We would like to go around on the island. Can you tell us what are the good places here?" As Zirui listed the local delicacies and small places for souvenirs, and water sports possibilities, a certain Miss was fuming in the corner! Well if he wanted to talk to his 'star' , then he could have simply said so instead of making her wait! What a useless time wasting man!

Just as smoke was about blow out of her ears, Adam stopped talking and grabbing Alice's hand bid goodbye to Zirui.

Alice followed behind Adam quietly but did not say anything. She was fuming and wanted to grab her hand from the man's but could not. He chattered away as they climbed the small motor boat that would take them to the shore. It was only as they sat that he realized Alice was fuming at him. She even glared at the churro he had just stuffed in his mouth. He picked up another churro and brought it to his mouth as he observed her glaring at it. Well, maybe she wanted some churro also? Extending the bag, he offered the goodies to her, with a heavy heart. He did not want to share his favorite snack. But Alice looked at it as if the churros had personally offended her!

Confused, he scratched his head and asked loudly over the sound of the wind, " Do you have something against churros?

A glare was his only answer.

"Well then something against brown paper bags?"

This time he received a look that said that he was a dunderhead. It was only after he was about to drown in the sea of confusion when he realized the truth.. His girl was probably jealous!
