Sweet Retaliation Master & Young Miss

22. H-2

At 06:03, Clarie came out of her room. Actually he's still sleepy, very sleepy, but what's okay to do is because he's here not only with Ben, Martin, Deo, Lena, and Diena. At this resort there are uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews, fathers, and grandmothers Ben. So you have to get up early.

As was her daily habit, the place Clarie would come to after waking up was the kitchen. "Good morning Clarie, did you sleep well last night?" greet Esther. Esther is the wife of Jonas, Ben's cousin.

Clarie paused for a moment, looking at the scene in the kitchen that she very rarely saw. Everyone in the kitchen, at the dinner table, everyone Clarie met yesterday was ready for breakfast.

"Clarie let's sit down and have breakfast, we're waiting for you" Clarie was a little stunned by Grandma Ben's words. They're waiting for him just for breakfast? The people in his family never did that.

"Grandmother, I don't think Clarie's really conscious yet. Maybe she needs a bath first, "Diena left her chair and led Clarie into her room again. After entering the room, Diena quickly closed the door facing towards Clarie.

"Clarie listen, I think grandma still has a little doubt about your relationship with Brother Ben. So can you look a little closer to Brother Ben? Listen carefully Clarie, you know that Alyta became an employee at the company. I'm sure she wants to do something, she wants to get something she doesn't deserve" Diena paused for a moment to take a deep breath. "Sister Ben trusts you very much Clarie, and so do we. We believe you can help Ben, brother,"

Clarie looked at Diena blankly, her brain trying to digest. Everything happened rather suddenly, especially on the terms he had to fulfill. Second condition of his agreement with Ben. Pretending to be lovers. He crazy. "But can you tell Ben to slightly reduce physical contact? I'm very sensitive to physical contact" Clarie said. His eyes looked at Diena who was preparing clothes for him today.

"That's kind of hard, lovers loving each other instead of expressing through physical touch. Like holding hands, embracing shoulders, hugging, or kissing on the forehead? If you just say sweet words, it's not certain. Love is proved, not spoken. And now it's time to take a shower" Diena handed her a shirt and towel, then pushed Clarie into the bathroom.

......................

Today's plan is to play on the beach, everyone looks excited, except Clarie. As he knew what was before him now, he felt a little afraid. Water water. There are bad memories with the water.

"I'll accompany you if you don't want to play with the waves" Ben looked at Clarie a little riled up. Since yesterday the girl's face did not match what she expected, like there was something she could not reveal to others. "And of course you can say what's bothering you, Clarie, just tell me" he added.

"Yes, I'll try to do it" Ben and Clarie chose to sit under a coconut tree, leaning their bodies against the trunk of the coconut tree. "When I was 14, Mom and Dad took us out for a swim. They wanted to celebrate Renata's birthday there, all looks ordinary, there was no sign that there would be a trap aimed at me.

Clarie ended her very memorable story. It made him afraid of the depth. The blank look made Ben feel the fear of Clarie, he understood how the fear of locking someone in a cage. "Follow me, let's try to solve this problem,"

Ben took Clarie to a quieter spot, with smaller waves and rocks all around. "Why bring me here?"

"To allay Miss Clarie's fears?" ben's tone was very gentle, as gentle as the wind blowing around them. "Walk into Clarie's water, I'll help you eliminate this one. Try to face that fear and get stronger,"

Clarie shook her head, she couldn't walk there, she couldn't. What if there are sea creatures who want to pounce on him later? "I can't, I don't want to,"

"I'm with you, trust me,"

"Hey, everybody, stop. Ice cream is waiting for you guys, let's get some rest!" Nathan shouted to everyone while pointing at the small bowl in his hand. Everyone began to come out of the water and immediately sat down in the place that Nathan had provided. One by one the bowls are taken.

"There are two bowls, who hasn't got one?" nathan asked confusedly looking at the two remaining bowls. Didn't I make 17 bowls? Why the rest of the two? It can't be miscalculated, right?

"Ben! Does anyone know where Ben is?"

"Ben? Hey I thought he was here,"

"Oh, I know. That brat, still the same as before, is still stingy. She must be dating Clarie now, I assure you. I'm going to teach him a lesson for secretly dating without telling me first," said Jonas a little upset, he stretched his muscles, preparing to teach a lesson to his beloved cousin's sister.
