CHAPTER 94

A few hours back.

Benjamin was driving the motorhome, and they were yet to arrive at the beach. Selena started reading abook after talking for an hour or so with her daughters. Veronica just watched videos on her mobile, butRebecca took a peek at the book her mother was intently reading. She read a song ‘The Sweetest Lover’sung by a character called Stussy Junksman.

“Sweetest

He

Who

Takes your heat But still looks neat

And gives you treats

Better than the sweets

And never mistreats or cheats

For he owns a well of love

That never depletes.” “That’s pretty deep, Mom. Which book is it from? Let me see the cover,” Rebeccasaid. “It’s from a fantasy novel,” replied her mother, refusing to fold the book while she was still reading.

Coming back to the present.

As Benjamin closed his eyes and waited for her to kiss him, she remembered the song, and her heartswelled, for she thought it fit Benjamin perfectly. Though he wasn’t really friendly with her family, he

always treated her like a princess and never mistreated her. Though kissing someone with a big beardand mustache wasn’t her preference, she really didn’t care about such trivialities at the moment, for theyearning of her heart for his love has grown over her and began to blossom in many ways. Maybe thatwas why, even though he wasn’t touching her, she felt like he was pulling her with invisible force. She feltattracted to him. She briefly glanced at his barely visible lips before looking at her sweetest lover’s faceagain and moving forward as she closed her eyes, also. “There’s the ship!” a loud voice echoed around.“There they are!” It was Selena’s voice. Rebecca and Benjamin looked in the direction where there weretwo boats heading toward them. Selena and Veronica were on board. Selena was using binoculars.“Were they about to kiss just now?” she thought. “I can never let that happen! Not while there’s breath inmy lungs!”

Selena then spoke through the mic attached with a loud speaker. “Rebecca, don’t listen to him! Don’t befooled by him!” Their two boats closed in and stopped next to Benjamin’s boat.

“Come over to our boat,” Selena said, waving her hand repeatedly.

“Mom!” Rebecca’s jaw slackened. “Are you serious?” How could she get to the other boat with her anklebeing in a tricky situation, still?

The pair of fulmars went over to the two ships and began picking a fight with them. “Go away, you shittybirds!” Selena yelled at them through the mic, but that didn’t work. She told the guards to shoot themdown, but they gave a warning shot with the gun and set the birds in fleeing mode. “Trashmin, you bettersend my daughter over to my boat,” Selena warned, “or…” “It’s too risky to send her over a rope or evena ladder with her ankle not fully healed,” Benjamin told her, but she shook her head.

“Uh-ah,” she looked at the bodyguards. There were a total of eighteen of them. Eight on one boat, andten on the other. “Go and bring my daughter.” The bodyguards began to throw robes, but Benjaminstarted the engine and drove away from there, shocking everyone. “What are you idiots doing?” Selenayelled at the driver and the bodyguards. “Chase him! Don’t let him out of sight!”

She had been to sea many times, so she was not afraid of driving fast on the waters, though Veronicalooked so uncomfortable she felt like she might pee any second. When their boat was going too fast,Rebecca also felt scared. “B-Benjamin, slow down.”

“Just grab me and close your eyes, Rebecca,” he said. “That will do the trick.”

“Grab you?” she hesitated for a second but then did what he said. She hugged him from behind, restedher head against his warm and sturdy back and closed her eyes. As the boat dashed on the waters andmoved up and down over the small waves, their bodies moved in sync. Her chest was touching him andfueled his sense of adventure some more. He kept taking random directions and made the chasers worka lot

Rebecca kept hugging him throughout, and time passed pretty fast for her. After some rough

realize that they finally reached the shore. She opened her eyes, and she was right, but she didn’t lookhappy for some reason. She wanted to keep hugging him, but she had to loosen her arms around hiswaist.

He turned to her and looked at her. “You are not feeling dizzy or anything, are you?” “Mm, no,” sheslightly shook her head. “Then let’s get going.”

(Where?”

He smiled and picked her up into her arms and jumped from the boat. “Kya!” she screamed in a bit ofsurprise, but he landed safely and ran on the shore. “Wait, you little bastard!” Selena’s boat just reachedthe shore, and she shouted at the bodyguard to lower a ladder and even hit them with the mic for notresponding fast enough to her commands. The bodyguards chased Benjamin on the shore, warning himthat he better stop, or they would make him regret his actions. However, their taunts didn’t work on

Benjamin. His speed was constant and fast as though he was running a marathon. The guards gave ittheir best, but they couldn’t catch up with him and eventually stopped.

After going past tall rocks, Benjamin stopped. There was a small cave with tables neatly arranged, and asmall pile of coconuts next to the table. Both of them sat there. As Benjamin was catching his breath, sħewas smiling. “You can try in the Olympics for running.”

Benjamin cut the coconuts with the knife and put straws in them. However, she tossed one coconutaside, startling him. “Why did you throw that away?” he asked. She pulled the coconut in his hand towardher and put another straw in it. Now, he understood why she had thrown the other coconut away. Shewanted to drink together from the same coconut! Her heart fluttered as though it had grown wings.

Looking into each other’s eyes, both of them slowly sipped the coconut water, not wanting to finish itsoon. Nevertheless, it finished sooner than they thought. Benjamin cut another coconut, and theyrepeated it once more. This way, they emptied seven coconuts together. By the end of it, she wasrubbing her little belly and shook her head when he reached out for the eighth

She looked toward the sea. With the moon’s reflection falling on the waters, glinting off of the countlessripples and waves, creating their own reflections on each miniature surface curve, the ocean neverlooked so surreal. Just like how the moon lit up one spot in the otherwise dark

itting before her has lit up her heart which otherwise would have still been so indifferent and cold to thewarm things of life. She leaned forward and clasped his hand. “Thank you, Benjamin.” He didn’t exactlyknow why she was thanking him, so he looked a little confused. “For everything, I mean,” she said. “Iwant to know you more. I want you to know me more.” Her upper body drew near to him, desperate forhis warmth. Every cell in her body hungered and thirsted for him as she surrendered herself, wishing tospeak to his lips through hers and more.

He couldn’t resist her either and was about to lean ahead and reach her. “Trashmin!” the unsettling voiceof Selena reached their ears. “NO. NOT AGAIN!” Benjamin went nuts.
