CHAPTER 21: BEACH, BEACH, BEACH

When the games activity was over, Ms. Xi let them go whatever they want to do on the beach. She just reminded them ahead of time about the activity they will be doing for tomorrow.

"Listen up people, our activity for tomorrow will be mountain climbing. We will meet up at the lobby at around five in the morning. Bring along with you your changing clothes and some stuff you want to bring for our overnight at the top of the mountain." Students were excited again with the activities they will do.

"There are tents provided to us so do not worry about it. Just be comfortable with the clothes you wear. It is going to be cold so do not forget to bring something warm. That's it, see you tomorrow."

Students were going on to the separate activities, to enjoy the freedom at the beach. Ocean and the rest of the gang went for a swim. The sun was not sunny; they took a dip on the water. It was refreshing, having fun. Swimming under, they make use to the freedom of time to capture the most beautiful scenery.

They went farther from their classmates and found a place that only the six of them were there. It was the other side where there were big stones curves. It is good for a quiet moment; there are some beach lounges too with umbrella.

Henley and Sophie went out to buy some foods after an hour of dipping under water. Rhianna and Ocean were in the beach lounge chair. Henna and Jenson was still in the water.

Jenson peeks on Henna to see if she was in the mood. When he saw that her face was calm, "Enna, I am so sorry about earlier."

Henna did not respond. Nevertheless, in her mind, 'Why does he keep on reminding me that incident? It is so embarrassing.'

There were the only two in the water and nobody could hear or see them. They were cover in a big stone; it was a good sign to open up to Henna.

When Jenson did not hear her respond, he walks towards her. Henna got nervous because Jenson walks closer and closer to her.

"Wha-what! Don't come closer or I scream." Jenson brows crossed of wondering.

"Huh! Why are you going to scream? I did not do anything to you now." He wondered.

Henna blushed, "I—forget it." Then she turned back from him.

Jenson smiled. He slowly walks an inch closer to her without her knowing. He bends a little to explain something to her seriously. But Henna suddenly faced back to Jenson. Unexpectedly their lips touched and their eyes were both in shocked.

Henna pushed Jenson harder that his body off balanced to the water but grabbed Henna accidentally. A splashed into the water, Jenson did not let go of Henna's waist. He quickly pulled out of the water together with Henna.

*cough*cough*cough*

Jenson patted her back. "Are you alright?"

Henna tried to push him back but he held her hands. "Do not do that again. We will go back to the water if you keep on pushing me. You will not be going to love it." He was warning her with a tease.

Henna glared at him. He stared at her too. The longer they keep on staring at each other, the more their faces get closer. Both, their hearts were pounding so fast, Henna closed her eyes afraid what she could not handle.

Jenson tried to hold back, however right at the moment he could not. The current situation is too strong to ignore. His mind says to stop but his heart says follow what it says.

He bends his head slowly and holds both of his hands unto her face. He kissed her lips gently, and slowly tasted her sweet lips.

That was longer, they just let go until they were out of breath. Henna turned and walked away from him. Her mind was confused that she could not imagine. She was to weak and obviously out of control. She realized that she really loves Jenson that much. She almost lost her mind kissing him. She almost lost herself without knowing if Jenson feels the same.

Jenson followed her right away and stopped in front of her. Henna was already out of the water when he stopped her. She did not raise her head up. She felt ashamed for what she did a while ago with him.

Jenson hugged her tight. Henna did not even notice she slowly embrace him too. They did that position for quite sometimes. Only they released from hugging when they heard Henley is calling them.

Henna ditched him immediately and walked towards their friends. She did not bother to look back if Jenson was following her behind.

It would be obvious if she did that. She keeps her mouth shut the whole time their friends were talking. She just smiled and nodded. She can sense Jenson was peeking on her.

Henna finally relieved when they went back to their room after eating their early dinner. She went straight to the bathroom then takes a shower.

'God that was so close. We could be caught by Henley.'

She was still thinking about what happened to them at the beach. Luckily, they were in a hidden spot when they did what they do there. It was unexpectedly insane when she recalls kissing Jenson.

'Crazy, crazy, crazy.' She was banging her hands to her head.

She looked at her reflection in the mirror. No matter what she did this afternoon. She did not have any regrets after all. She smiled and touched her lips instead. Her first crush, first love and first kiss. Yes, her first kiss was Jenson.

Facing at the mirror, she decided.

'No matter what level they are right now. I will accept it; it does not matter whether Jenson likes her or not as long as he is so close to me. I am happy.'
