A World Without Seams

76

"Hul...!" call Jim while fumbling around him. But there's no one. Jim opened his eyes and felt glare. He's still at the beach but he doesn't see Rachel anywhere. With a slight panic Jim sat down and went to look for Rachel while carrying Rachel's cardigan.

Jim looked around the beach area but there was no Rachel, even the visitors were quiet because this was not the weekend. Jim ran towards where he had fallen asleep earlier, then glanced at some stalls behind him. Rachel returned to where they were sitting.

"Are you awake?" rachel asked with a smile.

"Where are you from?" jim asked no heed to Rachel's question.

"From the stall, I ordered snacks and young coconut water. Seger. What is your head? Still sore?" rachel asked as she placed the back of her hand on Jim's forehead. Jim grabbed her and grabbed Rachel's hand.

"Not anymore, I'm okay" replied Jim. Rachel was too comfortable with Jim's hand. He let his hands be cupped by Jim's hands.

"You hungry? I just ordered a snack. Want some heavy food?" ask Rachel.

"No, I'm not hungry. I was looking for you, I thought you left me" said Jim.

"I'm sorry, I can't wake up a crooked person!" said Rachel.

"Seriously, Hel... Don't leave me alone anymore huh" Jim asked.

'It is precisely you who left me' inner Rachel.

"No, I couldn't wake you up. Must be tired, right? Well came the snacks," said Rachel when she saw a father delivering food and drinks orders.

"Thanks Hel.." said Jim while drinking coconut water.

"Yup... Have you checked your phone? There were a few sounds, there was an important phone like that" Rachel said. Jim reached into his pocket and saw three calls from Nae.

"Hmm..." Jim took a breath and put his phone back in, his face looking annoyed.

"Everything Okay?" ask Rachel.

"OKs... Eat the snacks first" Jim said. Rachel nodded obediently and enjoyed her snack.

They enjoy the twilight by playing on the beach. The tranquil atmosphere of the beach plus the deserted visitors make them as if their owners.

"It's so beautiful, yes" Rachel commented as she looked at the sun that was gradually sinking into the ocean.

"Yes, do you like it?" ask Jim. Rachel nodded.

"Thank you for bringing me here" said Rachel.

"No problemo, nyidak you turned out to be very easy," Jim was stunned considering he had to bribe friends Rachel and ask permission from his superiors. The sacrifice was strange, because she and Rachel had only met a few times. And he easily went to the girl's office, asked for a work permit. Jim smiled amusedly.

"Hmmmh tomorrow-tomorrow not again. It's not good that I'm the same office guy,"

"Don't run from me" said Jim.

The sun is completely drowned. Finally they got up from there and went back to the car to go home. However, in the middle of the journey Jim's car tire broke. Jim checked his tires, it turned out pretty bad.

Jim swore and tried to call but unfortunately his phone battery ran out of power. Fortunately, he told someone to fix his car.

On the advice of some passers-by, they decided to stay over. Because other than long trips, there is no public transportation that passes at night. Even online taxis do not want to travel that far.

"Yes, we're doing it" said Rachel, deciding after much consideration. Jim nodded, they were escorted to the inn.

Rachel and Jim split up Jim's room right in front of Rachel's.

"Rest, clean up first. I'm charging the phone. Let me call you later to check the car" Jim said shortly before entering his room. Rachel nodded. He immediately cleaned himself, fortunately in the bathroom available bathrobe. After the bath, Rachel's clothes were aerated. Because tomorrow when you go home will be used again.

After taking a bath, Rachel lay in her room. Tired but hungry stomach too. He hesitated to call Jim. He knocks on Jim's door.

"God... Hel! In here!" Jim pulled Rachel who was just using a bathrobe out of his room. But he was also a little embarrassed.

"Sorry, I'm hungry. Can we order something?" rachel asked Jim who was behind her.

"Hmmm yeah... You better wait in the room. I'll order food down. Why not call me?" grunt Jim.

"Yes, I forgot! I'll go back to the room if so. Sorry!" he turned around and left the room.

Jim turned to look at the closed door as Rachel returned to her room. He was a little upset with Rachel who came out with the bathrobe. Instead of what, the bathrobe was only limited to Rachel's knees, featuring her white legs. Not to mention Rachel's hair was still wet. So Jim guessed what Rachel wasn't wearing underwear? He scratched his hair. Removing dirty thoughts from his head.

"What am I thinking!" jim said while shaking his head.

He put his clothes back on and went down and ordered food, seeing if there was a clothes seller. There's no way Rachel's gonna use bathrobe all night. Not far from the inn, there was a clothing store. He bought some clothes and food around the inn.

"Now! Food and clothing. Sorry I don't know your size!" jim said as he handed the package in his hand as Rachel opened the door with a small gap.

"Thank you Jim!" he said as he grabbed a few parcels in Jim's hand. Meanwhile Jim returned to his room with a slightly reddened face.

"Why the hell is he? So strange!" rachel said after closing the door. Rachel put away another package, she'll check it later. He is very hungry now. He put food in his mouth. Until it was not tasted, the food ran out in an instant.

Jim also enjoyed his dinner from the room. Though his mind went everywhere until the food was left. She could not remove Rachel's shadow from her head, nor what she had already given to the girl. Hope he's not angry.

Rachel downed her drink and glanced at the parcel above her bed. I wonder what Jim bought. Is that a snack? Rachel approached and was about to unload the package. But the phone call made Jim forget the package for a moment. Apparently Noey sent him a message asking where he was. After replying to Noey's message, Rachel recalled the package.

He sat on the bed and grabbed the package. He opened one by one. It turns out that sleeping clothes and t-shirts. Jim could think of himself and Rachel. But Rachel could think of nothing for them. He then unpacked the other package, he shook it for a moment and poured the contents of the package onto the mattress. And roll the contents of the package over the mattress.

"Oahhhh! Pantheshine..." Rachel covered her face in embarrassment. Rachel's face flushed.

Seriate...
