Wrenna dashed into the changing room and hid in there. She placed her hand on her chest, but her heart would not stop beating like crazy. The heat within her refused to subside for a long time.
That was so exhilarating!
All Wrenna could hear was her own heartbeats.
After a long while, a sweet smile broke out on her face.
That was the first time something like that had happened, and it was a little too exciting for her. She was so freaked out that she could not carry on.
But I came all the way here just for this, didn't I?
Wrenna told herself not to give up so easily. She must accomplish her goal during the next few days.
Looking into the mirror, she clenched her fists and cheered for herself, “Way to go, Wrenna! You can't back out now. For the sake of your own happiness, you must forge ahead! Wrenna, don't you want to get intimate with Damian? Don't waste any more time. Just do it!”
It was only half an hour later when Wrenna went back.
By then, Damian was with a number of people.
Both Burnham and Stella had located Damian, but Colton was not with them.
I can't believe these two are so brainless and come all the way to gatecrash our holiday.
“Damian, the last time we went traveling was during our school days. So many years have passed since then. How I miss those carefree days.”
While he was talking, Burnham kept his eyes on the bikini-clad girls all the way and reluctantly retracted his gaze eventually.
Seeing Damian's icy face, he could not help but complain, “What's wrong with you? We just happened to bump into you. We didn't follow you here. There's no need to show your long face. That's so ungentlemanly of you. Even if you can't be lovers with her, just be friends then. Even friends won't be as aloof as you are.”
Stella gave a self-depreciating smile.
“Damian, don't worry. You have already warned me the last time. I'm not that stupid. Can't we just be friends?”
Damian smiled at her icily and said nothing.
Stella's heart sank. It was as if Damian knew what she was thinking.
He made her feel scared and uneasy. At the same time, she could not resist his deadly charms. Once again, she yearned to be close to him.
At times, Stella felt that Damian's aloofness toward her signified his unwillingness to let her go.
That meant that she still stood a chance.
In order to neutralize the awkward atmosphere, Burnham started chatting about their earlier years.
He spoke of the happier times that Damian and Stella shared during their school days.
“Back then, the two of you sneaked around and even booked a room, didn't you? Damian, both Colton and I were betting if you lost your virginity that night. Hahaha!”
Burnham's laughter stopped abruptly when he saw Wrenna walking toward them.
She did not look pleased. In hindsight, Burnham realized that his topic of conversation was rather inappropriate.
His initial intention was to cheer everyone up, but it made the situation even more uncomfortable.
Furthermore, he had no idea if Wrenna had heard any of it.
“Hey, Wren is here! Tsk, you're all grown up now...”
He cracked another lame joke of his, and it was not even funny at all.
Damian immediately picked up a towel and covered Wrenna's gorgeous body.
As for Wrenna, she flashed a smile at Damian and gave him an intimate embrace.
“Damian, shall we go for a swim? But, I'm a little afraid. Can you come with me, please?”
Annoyed and jealous, Wrenna completely ignored Burnham and Stella.
She remembered how nasty Stella was when she laid eyes on her.
In the past when she was younger, she used to envy Stella when she saw her dating Damian. In spite of that, she used to be quite fond of Stella and thought that she was a very nice person.
Little did Wrenna realize that she would become such a horrible person.
Wrenna could be a brat as well. Other than Damian, she treated everyone else as she pleased.
Damian made no comment regarding Wrenna's behavior. On the contrary, he smiled and caressed her head.
“Fine, I'll go with you.”
The couple got up and went toward the deep end. Burnham and Stella, who were left behind, felt helpless and sad respectively.
“Burnham, shall we take a dip too?” suggested Stella.
She had a sexy swimsuit on as well, and it showcased her good figure.
Burnham smiled and said, “Sure. Let's go.”
Since they had come all the way to the beach and were surrounded by a bevy of beautiful girls, Burnham thought it would be a waste to lose this opportunity.
After all, his body was still in good shape, and he might be able to hook up with a gorgeous babe.
With his attention on the attractive girls, he swam toward their direction and did not pay much attention to Stella.
As for Stella, she started to tremble as she got deeper into the sea.
She was frightened but felt that it was necessary.
When she saw Wrenna and Damian having fun in the sea, she gritted her teeth and carried on walking toward the deep end of the sea.
