Chapter 39: chapter 39

Rodas's POV-------------------I keep staring at the bracelet Elora gifted me last night. I was so angry when I saw her dancing with that man, his fucking hands around her waist. I had the urge to chop his hands into pieces but all I could do was push him off her because there were people around and I can't let them see me like that. They respect me and I want to keep that in that way. But all the anger was swept away when she tied this bracelet in my hand. She said I can never lose it. I dare not. I kiss her forehead and she wiggles closer to me in her sleep. I rub her shoulder and she peacefully goes back to sleep, letting out soft snores.I look out of the window. Only a day left before we go back to that chaotic life but I'm really glad I brought Elora here. She needed it. She also made up with Liam. I don't know how they did it but I'm glad, they cleared the air between them.I smile, looking at her peacefully sleeping face. I can't wait to make everything alright and spend more time with her. My mind will never be at peace if I don't remove Mason from this world. He has done enough. He is the root of everything and I will make him pay for every single thing he has done.I know I can't live an honest life and there will always be conflicts but I can always take care of them. Elora moves and slowly opens her eyes. She stares at me for a while in a daze and then smiles. I blink, taken aback by her sudden change of behaviour. I mean, she hasn't smiled at me for a while now. So, it was a bit of a surprise for me. So, is she going to talk to me?"Good morning," she mumbles and smooches my cheeks. "Good morning!" I say. I feel the happiness bubble up from the bottom of my stomach.She sits up and stretches her limbs, then she goes to tie her hair in a bun. The sight of her exposed neck tempts me and I find myself moving close to her and kissing her nape gently."Do you wanna go swimming together?" I ask slowly moving my lips over to her shoulder."Sounds nice," she whispers, letting out a small moan as my hands slip under her top."We should eat breakfast first," I mumble, exploring her stomach and the outline of her breast. She nods and slowly turns to face me. "Do you forgive me now?" I ask as her hand caress my face.Her thumb gently stroked the scar above my eyes."I won't be doing this right now if I haven't" she replies.I lean in and our lips meet in a tender kiss. She raises her both hands to help me get rid of her top. She gives me a shy smile, her cheeks and the tip of her nose taking a soft colour of pink. "I love you," I say. No matter how many times I say those three words, it's not enough. Just words are not enough to tell her how much I love her and I hope she is aware of it. I guide her to lie down on the bed and I take in the beauty she carries as I slowly pull down the remaining piece of her cloth.She shudders naked under my touch and I love every bit of it. The look on her face, her moans as I go between her thighs. Her hands reach for my face and pull me up."Let's go swimming..." She says to me.I smile dumbfounded and nod.-----I made two cups of coffee and sandwiches and waits for Elora who is changing her clothes.Five minutes later, she walks in wearing a yellow bikini which perfectly fits her sunkissed skin. My jaw drops and I cannot peel my eyes away from her. She giggles and pushes my head playfully. "Dammnnn!!" I mutter. Elora takes the sandwich and stuffs it into my mouth. I chew and swallow my food, still looking at her."You're on fire," I tell her and she laughs, throwing her head back."You sound funny," she says."But I'm serious... Can we go one round before going swimming?" I smirk."Shut up, Rodas" I chuckle and chomp on the sandwich. After we had our breakfast we go the beach. Elora immediately jumps into the water, playing as much as she likes. I'm watching her while sitting on the sand when I see the guy from last night approach her. Elora looks toward me once or twice as they talk I stand and make my way toward them but before I reach, the guy leaves."What were you two talking about?" I ask her while my eyes follow the guy."He wanted my number" I raise my eyebrow at her."And?" "I told him..." She says and splashes water at me. "That a big angry tiger is guarding it," I laugh and grab her waist."Did you? That's so cheesy!" She giggles and screams as I jump into the water along with her. "Then should I go back and give him my number?""You don't want that guy into the basement do you?" She slaps my shoulder playfully."Don't just blurt out such dangerous words" I raise my hands to surrender and she splashes water at me again. I splash back at her and then there's competition between us. We play at least for one hour in the waterThen we have our lunch at a local restaurant. Elora bought a lot of things from the market saying that she doesn't know when she will have the chance to visit such place again. I will take you anywhere you want. I thought. We spent the afternoon, laying lazily on the bed. Whispering sweet nothings to each other, making out and making love until we are out of energy. It was such a surreal beautiful day. Just like a calm before the storm.
