Chapter 18

Aviena's POV "Of course not!" Saying that feels like saying that I like him too. I was very annoyed when I entered the room for me here on the yacht but we also left immediately because we had already reached the island. I ignored him. He used to be the one taking pictures of me but because my pride didn't like it, I didn't even talk to him. I just ask for favors from the crew. He's just watching me. He's not even doing anything but my blood was already boiling because of him. He's really annoying. 'I made you a buko shake," he said before giving me the buko shake that he have. I just raised an eyebrow at him. There was still a smile on his lips but not the annoying one now. Smile you will fall if you're heart is so fragile. Annoying. I was just sipping on the buko shake he provided but I almost choked when he took a straw and we were just in the same glass. "What? You are so corny, ah?" I asked but I couldn't help my smile now. This one really knows how to get me. We are just like dogs and cats while visiting different islands but I can definitely say that I really like it. Somehow I lost my stress as well. "Careful," he said as I got off the yacht. He immediately grabbed my waist. I just stopped when I saw his family watching. And because it's already my thing, I didn't hesitate to act as if I was in love with him. I almost backed away when he met my gaze when I was about to whisper to him. I felt like I was out of breath when we looked at each other. I smiled at him sweetly before I whispered to him. "Your family is watching," I whispered. His grip loosened slightly. I don't know if he suddenly realized that if his family was there, his girlfriend would definitely be there too. I just smiled there and got a little upset again but I just tried to act like it was alright. That I'm fine. Everything is fine. I still smiled tenderly at his family who didn't smile back at me but of course, it's fine. I like it better. I don't want to be with them either. 'I'm going to rest in our room for a while. Our friends will come in a few hours," I said to River who nodded. But I turned to see him coming in as well. "Why?" I asked frowning at him. 'We're going to rest. Our friends are going to be here later," he said with a smile before entering. I just shook my head and let him do whatever he wants. I went to the shower room first and just wore some of the clothes I was carrying. I interact with my fans after I uploaded my pictures on my instagram. I just stopped when I watched River come out of the bathroom with the towel wrapped around his lower body. While the height is bare. He was really modeling his 8-pack abs but because I was annoyed with him earlier, I didn't examine it carefully. "You're drooling," he said with a serious face but an obviously teasing voice. "Your face is so thick!" I shouted loudly before throwing the pillow I was holding in his face. 'It's all yours. You can touch it all you want. " He was still laughing and would have come closer so I just threw anything I hold. He just laughed while walking away from me. When he turned around, I still couldn't help but stare, especially when I saw a tattoo on his back. A gun. It's normal for me to see a guy's body but I won't deny the fact that the guy in front of me is just so hot. I just bit my lip so hard and almost punched myself. This won't do. It is so dangerous for me. He turned to me and raised an eyebrow when he saw that I was still looking at him. 'What? I was just looking at the door!" I said so he just smiled before he shook his head looking for his t-shirt. 'Are you sure you don't want to touch? I'm going to wear a t-shirt now. You can taste it too—" I immediately threw whatever I could touch at him so that he laughed. "Stupid!" I shouted, turning my eyes back to my phone. I don't know why he kept on annoying me. I don't know if he ate something bad or what. I just know that I'm irritated by his presence. I also couldn't sleep because he leaned over me and even watched the ‘Encanto' I was watching. I smiled slightly when I saw him sound asleep. We never really sleep in the same bed. I don't know if this one is a crow because when I sleep, he is not there and when I wake up he is not there either. I didn't know if it was coming home or not. If I could see him coming home, it was just on the sofa. He never sleeps by my side so I also don't know why he's like this now. As I watched him, I couldn't help but fall asleep as well. I just woke up to knocking and noise from outside. I blinked when I looked at River who didn't seem to care about the knock and was just staring at me now. My lips parted as we both hugged each other. "What? The weather is so hot and now you're even hugging me! Go away!" I shouted at him as I removed his hand but he seemed to have no intention of letting me go. The smile gradually curved on his lips. There was still knocking on the door outside but the one who was holding me had no intention of leaving. I glared at him so he laughed softly. "What? Our friends are already there!" I said while looking at him so badly. 'Let them. They can wait," he said as if he had no intention of standing up. "River?" I heard Marissa's call from outside so I couldn't help but be irritated by myself. I was annoyed when I pushed River because why did I forget that he only treated me well because they had a fight with his girlfriend? And of course, I'm so annoyed that he's doing this to Marissa now. "Let's go." After he got dressed he went out as well. "We've been calling your room for a while but you don't seem to hear us," said Marissa who looked at the door of our room. I don't know what smile was there on his lips. Is it teasing or he's just merely annoying. I'm not sure. I also saw that some bachelors members were already here. There are already three here. Pride Sandoval, Light Sandoval, and Lake Savellano, River's cousin that I rarely see. I saw them grin as they looked back at me. "Are you really going to do it on a hot day?" Pride Sandoval asked while smirking at us. My lips parted and my forehead furrowed. What does he saying? "I mean you will really let us wait in this hot weather?" he said because Light Sandoval, his older brother, kicked him. "Hi, I'm glad to finally meet you," Lake told me with a smile and held out his hand. I was about to accept that when someone tapped his hand and I immediately saw River's frowning face. What's his problem now? Lake just laughed as if he's already used to his cousin. I just frowned at River because his rudeness was coming out again. 'I'm sorry we're late. My wife rested for a while. She's really tired… " I saw a ghost smile on his lips so I looked at him. He's as if implying something. This is him again, being flirtatious. I couldn't help but look away. I'm annoyed with him again. I tried to ignore him and look at the place. I saw Veron approaching. Because of what she was taking care of, she just followed us here. She's so busy for the past few weeks. "Ma'am!" She let out a wide smile but his eyes gradually widened when she saw the men beside me. Veron loves handsome guys so I won't be surprised. I was always teased by that one to take her to some of my acquaintances so I immediately called him. Maybe he can date someone with River's friends. I thought she was going to approach us but she immediately ran away. When I looked back at River's friends, I could see the astonishment on their faces except for Pride Sandoval who was slightly surprised but soon saw a smirk on his lips. "Do you know her?" they asked him but he just smiled while still looking at Veron who ran somewhere. I tried texting her. Me: Where are you? Why did you run? He: Ma'am, I have diarrhea all of a sudden. I'm just here in our villa hehe see you later I just poured because she still didn't really want to say anything. I just let it go too. Tom also texted that he was on his way. Me: Okay, see youu. Have a safe trip!! 'Stop using your phone. I'm already here. " I almost choked on my own saliva when I looked at River who was now looking at me. I even looked at my cellphone as if he had a problem there. I couldn't help but laugh and just ignore him. His friends and some guests attending the wedding also came. I felt like I needed to act more. I just let River talk to his friends while Atasha and Ate are still away. 'Good luck, Vena! You are the only woman River posted on his Instagram account!" a female guest said, I don't know her at all but of course, it seems like she knows River and River's family. I just let out a smile and shrugged. What does she saying? I just shake my head before sitting on the far side, near the beach because it was also tiring to act in front of so many people. Only the moon serves as light. I gasped as I looked at River's name on Instagram. I immediately stopped when I saw the very first photo. His latest post. It's my photo, in the next post is a photo of the two of us. "Hope all!" I jumped in a panic because of the speaker behind me. I immediately smiled at Atasha who looked like she had just arrived. "So this is the reason why your name and River's name are the talks of the town right now," she said while laughing. I couldn't help but grin there, suppressing the smile that wanted to appear on my lips. 'You just arrived? Why didn't you call me? " I asked her. Changing the conversation. "Hmm, we already told your husband," she said so I nodded. I glanced at her boyfriend Black Sandoval who was also part of the ‘Bachelor'. It was already there with River. 'Omg! A lot of people but you're the only one here and you still look very lazy right now?" she asked with her eyes narrowing at me. I couldn't help but nod before shrugging. "Hey!" I let out a wide smile when I saw Tom. He immediately hugged me. I did the same so I saw River looking at our side. It was still far away but I could immediately see the blade in his eyes. I also immediately let go of Tom because I saw River saying goodbye to his friends and approaching me now. "I never imagine that you'll get married this early—" I can't even follow what Tom is saying because River is getting closer and closer to our place. "Hey, Wife, come here, many guests want to meet you," he said, holding my waist now. He even pulled me closer to him before whispering. 'Don't you forget about the contract... No shaming each other in front of everyone. "
