Chapter 326 - Playmate And Partner In Crime
He allowed her to drag him from stall to stall as she checked out what the local sellers offered. He enjoyed watching her as she bought souvenirs for the people that she loved.
Those material things might not be expensive, but she picked them, thinking of the people that would receive them. She also considered helping the local producers with their products by buying them.
"I think I have enough," Dani stated as she looked at the bags he was carrying in his hands. "Wait, how can we carry those home?"
She could not imagine them with all those bags in his hands as they rode the motorbike. She was fascinated with all the locally made crafts and unique artifacts that she forgot about their mode of transportation.
"Don\'t worry about it. We can have it shipped to the villa later." He guided her to a building where they deposited all their shopping bags. They would deliver their things to where they were staying.
"Where next?" She asked when they were free to roam again. But she was already feeling the fatigue of her legs from walking.
But she was too excited to complain. She wanted to do more things with Alex before they went back to the villa. Moments like this were hard to come by. She would like to make the most of it.
"What about lunch? It is almost noon anyway." He turned to another corner where they could see a local diner serving different locally produced food, from meat, fish, and vegetable dishes.
They were immediately seated near the oceanfront, overlooking the bay. She could feel the breeze on her face and hair as the wind picked up and blew in their direction.
"What would you suggest we eat?" She asked the waiter that came to their table.
"Our plates of seafood are our best-selling. But we also offered several different kinds of meat specialties." The boy cheerfully informed them.
Eventually, they both settled on trying out the buttered lobsters and a few other sumptuous seafood dishes. Dani could not wait to sample the food as the delicious scent of their entree wafted in the room.
"Oops!" She covered her mouth out of embarrassment when the piece of the crab she was trying to crack landed on the plate of the man, eating on a nearby table. "I am sorry." She quickly apologized.
The man, seeing that she did not intentionally cause the accident, acknowledged her. He saluted in their direction and smiled, saying that it was no big deal.
"I\'m sorry again." She smiled at the couple at the other table who seemed to be on their honeymoon.
"No worries." The lady next to him smiled at her, understanding her situation.
"Congratulations. Enjoy your honeymoon." Alex greeted the couple, and they thanked them in return.
"How did you know that they are newlywed?" She whispered to Alex, not wanting the other couple to hear her.
Alex wiggled his finger, indicating the wedding bonds that were still shining on their fingers. He could not wait to put his ring on her too and bound her to him forever.
"Let me," Alex ended up helping her with the hard shell of the crustaceans. She liked eating them, but she usually ate them with the hard covering already removed.
After removing the shell, he took the delicious white flesh, holding it in his fingers. "Taste this." He fed her with the mouthwatering finger-licking, juicy crab.
She quickly took it in her mouth, savoring the luscious flavor that the butter and the other ingredients added to its taste. She suddenly felt the juice dripping on the side of her lips as she swallowed what remained in her mouth.
"That is so good." She uttered, licking her lips. He suddenly leaned over to her with the use of his fingers. He wiped the butter on the side of her mouth.
Then, he placed his fingers in his mouth, tasting the buttery juice in his mouth. "Yes, it is." He uttered before putting some crab on his mouth.
They attacked the lobsters and the rest of the food on their table with gusto. They enjoyed their lunch with their usual banters and the unique ambiance the place provided.
"Oh my. I think my stomach is about to explode." She muttered under her breath as she felt the fullness of it.
She laid back on her seat to feel a bit of comfort, allowing her tummy some room to breathe. Although she never did go on a diet, she had never felt this bloated in a long time.
Presently, all she could think about was going on a run for a week to burn all those unwanted fats. She wondered if Alex needed to work out to keep his physique in good condition.
"Well, I am thinking of dessert, but I guess we can have that later on." He winked at her, suggesting something else that could fill his appetite.
He wanted her, but that would have to wait until they got back to the villa. A little taunting would not hurt. In truth, it was a foreplay to a much better encounter later on when they were finally alone.
"Well, that is a dessert that I am looking forward to." She responded, biting her lips for emphasis.
She had come a long way from her cocoon when it came to sex. He had managed to make her comfortable, from talking about it to expressing her wants and needs.
Although, she could not claim that she had become an expert in the art of seduction. She could honestly say that she had learned to enjoy every part of their intimate time together.
They left the restaurant for another rendezvous. Alex walked her back to their vehicle and told her that he needed to make one more stopover.
"Where are we going?" She asked as he revved up the engine. She could feel her heart starting to speed up too, but it lessened compared to earlier.
"A friend that I want you to meet." Since he could not contact him, Alex decided to drop by his place instead to see him and introduced Dani to his friend at the same time.
It had been a long time since he last saw him. He wanted to visit sooner, but other things always got in the way. He ended up postponing it until now.
"Really? I can\'t wait to meet your friend." She was delighted that he was introducing one of his long-time friends.
Every part of his past and present he shared with her was a testament to his intention towards her. Opening himself to her, together with his vulnerability, was a clear indication of his love for her.
She could not ask for more proof of how much he loved her. He had already attested his love for her with all his actions and his words. She was a lucky woman to have found her soulmate.
"I am sure that he will be glad to meet you too." Alex felt ecstatic that he would see his old friend again.
He did feel guilty for not keeping up with his promise to stay in touch, but since he was here now. He would like to continue with that promise.
When he came on the island, it was hard at first to have no friends.. But when he met his friend, he had been his only playmate and partner in crime whenever he came with his grandparents for a visit.
