Sweetest Escape

Invitation

Tomorrow, Kayla and Arden return to port. There were already a few guests returning and there were some faces that both of them recognized. Including Mike and Elise who arrived together.

"Three days of not seeing each other make me miss you" Mike said, hugging Kayla.

"I miss you too, too" Kayla replied. Pulling out of Mike's arms, then moving on to Elise.

Arden is the same. He hugged Mike, then Elise. "We'd better get on the boat. We can relax at the bar."

"We have to store things first" Elise said.

"We meet in the afternoon" suggested Arden.

"I think that's a good idea. I want to go back to the room, then sleep well all day" Kayla said.

Elise clasped her hands. "Hoho, can't you sleep, Kayla?"

"There's a mosquito that's always annoying. He's always clinging."

"I think it's a tame tiger," Mike chimed in as he drove into Arden.

Elise laughs. "Tiger that has not shown its claws and fangs. If he shows, then you'll be hovering around him."

"What are you talking about, anyway?" Arden is wrong. "Come, we're going up."

"Yes, yeah, let's go up. The tiger will go back to preying" said Mike.

If there is a small hole, then Arden will hide there. The three men might tease him. Then, Kayla? The woman is getting more and more unsettling. Especially with beach clothes that are always worn. Arden could not ignore it. He always wanted Kayla to lie on the bed.

"I just went back to my room" Kayla said.

"No way. Who am I?" ask Arden.

"Sleep in your own place. I want to rest without your piercing."

"At my place. I promise I won't bother you."

"You said that too last night. The proof is that I can't sleep because of your hand" Kayla said.

"This hand gives you a massage to relax."

"Just don't bother me this afternoon." Kayla crossed her arms in front of her face.

Arden took a long breath. He resigned. "Let me drive you."

"If that's what I allow."

Arden dragged two suitcases in hand towards Kayla's room. Arriving there, Arden wasted no opportunity to do what he liked. Kayla loses her balance and nearly falls if Arden does not reach her waist.

Kayla turned her face. "Don't attack me all of a sudden."

"Let me kiss your lips."

Arden cupped Kayla's face and then put her lips together. Kayla tries to push the man's body away, but Arden won't let that happen. He moved closer to Kayla's front, cramped by the pressure.

"Arden! Let me rest for a minute." Kayla covered Arden's face with both palms.

Arden took off his embrace, then lowered Kayla's hand down. "I'll let you go, but promise one thing."

"What?"

"I want to take a shower with you" Arden said.

"Wedding together?" Kayla repeated the request in a question tone.

Arden nodded. This is his long-held wish. Shower with Kayla in the bathtub. Play each other soap foam and follow the instinct that will happen next.

"Yes. I want you to fulfill my invitation," said Arden, begging a little.

Kayla smiled, then nodded. "alright. We'll take a shower together. But not today."

"Huh .. then, when?"

Hope was dropped again. Arden was already happy, but hearing the last sentence he was a little disappointed.

"As far as I am. It could be tomorrow, the day after or the day after" Kayla said.

"I promise. Now, you're back to your place." Kayla opens the door to let Arden out.

"OKAY. See you later in the afternoon." One kiss was stolen. Arden quickly went out and ran.

"Basic!" yell Kayla. Then shut the door and lock it.

...****************...

In the afternoon, Arden was at the bar with Elise and Mike. Kayla's stay has not yet appeared and makes Arden want to step into the woman's cabin. Damn Mike even prevented and told to wait. Arden just does not want to on the trip Kayla instead met Alex and dated the man considering Kayla who wants to live free without any strings attached.

"Just let Arden visit Kayla. Why ban it?" said Elise.

"Women will get bored quickly if they continue to be harassed" said Mike.

"I don't" protested Elise.

"I saw Kayla differently. If it bends too tightly, then it will come off. It's better to loosen that bond so he stays attached" Mike said.

"Kayla here wants a vacation after failing marriage. He wants to live a free life. Kayla let me touch her, ", said Arden.

"Well, you know him best, Arden. Kayla will not be free if you continue to be by her side. He'll assume this will be the same as the past. Kayla wants something new" Mike said.

"I think you have a point" said Arden.

"That's it. Later that night there's a special event in the hall" Elise said.

"Dancing again?" ask Arden.

"No! But the show says love. He said we could write something about loved ones. It's a pity that we're not here tonight."

Say love? Arden moved from his seat. "I'll go first. If Kayla comes, just tell her I have business. Tell him to come to the show."

Arden stepped out of the bar. Elise and Mike were just staring. Looks like they know what Arden's doing tonight.

"I think he wants to say love to Kayla" Elise said.

"Eitherway. Their relationship is complicated. They both don't have a partner, but don't want to be together in a clear bond" Mike said.

"Sometimes relationships without status are more enjoyable. It doesn't involve feelings and when it comes to parting, it won't hurt each other."

Mike held Elise's hand. "I'm sorry, Elise. I can't give you a clear status."

"Unfortunately I involve feelings."

Bar door open. Mike waved as Kayla appeared there. Kayla who saw that immediately approached.

"Am I late or is there one more person who hasn't arrived yet?" kayla asked as she landed herself in the chair where Arden was sitting.

"Don't you see there's three cups here?" said Elise.

"I was the one who came late. I overslept. Then, where's the guy?"

"He said there was business" said Mike.

"Oh, yes, tonight we have an event" said Elise.

Kayla calls the waiter, then orders a drink before responding to Elise's remarks about the event later tonight.

"Music or what?" ask Kayla.

"It's a love affair. It's going to be a lot of fun, Kay," said Elise.

"looks interesting. I'll come tonight. Oh, does Arden know?"

"He told you to come. Ah, I'd better book a table for the four of us. You guys wait here. I'll be right back, '" Mike said.

"Good idea, Mike," said Kayla.

"He always knew what was needed" Elise said.
