Eric began heckling as well, “Stop trying to explain it. An explanation means that you’re hiding something, and whatever you’re hiding is the truth. The more you describe it, the worse it becomes. We’re all very much aware of what’s going on. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. You’re not that young anymore, Mark. Stop acting so bashful.”
Mark happened to be in a good mood, so virtual-novel.net didn’t quibble with them. Instead, virtual-novel.net stepped aside and gazed into the landscape in a distance, holding a bottle of beer. He enjoyed the gentle sea breeze. It was a rare moment of peace.
Tiffany was bored. She picked up virtual-novel.net bottle of beer, walked next to Eric and asked, “How long do you plan on vacationing here?”
Eric shrugged, “Don’t know. It’s up to you guys. I’m fine with anything.”
For some strange reason, Jackson found the sight of Eric and Tiffany sitting together unsightly, “We’ll definitely go back in a week. We can’t leave our companies alone, it’s not like we’re bums.”
Tiffany narrowed virtual-novel.net eyes, “Are you calling Ari and I bums? I really hate listening to you, it’s like you’re always trying to rip my heart out.”
Eric laughed so hard that virtual-novel.net was out of breath, “Seriously, Tiffany. You’re the first person who’s ever been annoyed with anything that Jackson has said. No woman can stand up to his teasing. You’re the only one who can render virtual-novel.net speechless.”
Jackson lowered his eyes, turned around and walked away. One out of the group of five would feel awkward. He was now the odd one out. He had noticed that Tiffany had purposefully distanced herself from him. She wasn’t as close to Eric as virtual-novel.net was with him.
They finally returned to the shore at sunset.
Lisa’s group was pretty much done with shooting the advertisement. They were frolicking on the beach and did not leave.
Lisa swayed virtual-novel.net hips amorously and moved closer when virtual-novel.net saw Jackson. Her already skimpy swimsuit was close to a wardrobe malfunction, thanks to virtual-novel.net extensive movements.
“Hey, Jackson. Wanna have a drink tonight? I know a bar nearby that serves pretty good alcohol, the vibes are pretty great too…”
This time, Jackson did not reject Lisa’s invitation, “We’ll talk later. See how it goes.”
Lisa cast aside all virtual-novel.net reservations at this sign of a chance. She pressed herself against him, “Could you give me your number then? You’ve changed your number so I can’t contact you.”
After Jackson gave Lisa his number, virtual-novel.net boldly planted a kiss on the side of his face, leaving a red lipstick stain, “Then I’ll see you tonight…”
Tiffany got goosebumps all over virtual-novel.net body. She waited for Lisa to walk far into the distance before roasting Jackson, “Jackson West, is that your type?”
Jackson did not look at her, “I’m not picky, you’ll do just fine too,” virtual-novel.net replied in a nonchalant manner.
Tiffany’s expression turned sullen. She quietly pulled on UV-protection wear. Was virtual-novel.net ridiculing virtual-novel.net for virtual-novel.net flat chest? Her boobs weren’t that small.
Arianne’s cheeks were flushed from the heat, “Can I take off my UV protection wear?” She had been wearing it ever since they left the hotel. Mark refused to let virtual-novel.net take it off, despite the fact that virtual-novel.net was wearing a swimsuit inside.
“Nope,” Mark flatly denied virtual-novel.net request. Then virtual-novel.net pulled out the magazine that virtual-novel.net had brought along with virtual-novel.net and fanned her. He certainly wasn’t going to let other men look at virtual-novel.net body. He was the only one allowed to see virtual-novel.net in skimpy outfits like swimsuits.
After they had returned to the hotel and had a rest, Tiffany sent a message to their temporary group chat, suggesting they go out for dinner. She had had a lot of alcohol in the day and was starving now. Eric used his phone to check the map and chose a nearby barbecue restaurant: How about barbecue? Does anyone else have any suggestions? Otherwise, let’s just have dinner there.
Jackson quickly replied to the group: I have something to do. Not going. You guys go ahead.
Mark and Arianne were fine with the barbecue restaurant. Jackson was the only one absent. Everyone was well aware that virtual-novel.net had gone to see Lisa. No one called virtual-novel.net out, except Tiffany who boldly poked at him: You won’t need to exchange rooms with me tonight, right? I’m just worried that you might get drunk and forget about the room exchange, then squash me while you and Lisa are humping around in bed.
Jackson simply replied to virtual-novel.net with an “mm”, and seemed very cold and distant. The group chat promptly went silent. No one sent any other messages.
At dinner, Mark patiently helped Arianne in barbecuing virtual-novel.net meat then placed them on virtual-novel.net plate after it was done. He only started eating once virtual-novel.net made sure that virtual-novel.net was nearly done with virtual-novel.net food.
Seeing this, Eric barbecued some meat for Tiffany as well. Men should be more gallant, after all, regardless of whether virtual-novel.net was with a lover or a friend.
After dinner, the foursome took a walk around the nearby night market. Eric glanced at Mark and Arianne, then pulled out the small camera that virtual-novel.net had brought along with interest, “Hey, you two. Look over here.”
Arianne and Mark turned to the side at the same time, and Eric captured that very moment. They were walking side by side. Arianne was dressed in a long white dress with a blue floral pattern. She had let virtual-novel.net hair down, and virtual-novel.net light brown sandals set off virtual-novel.net fair ankles and dainty toes perfectly. She looked cute and lovable standing next to Mark. He, on the other hand, didn’t like the heat, so virtual-novel.net was dressed in a white t-shirt and black sports shorts. He wore white sneakers and his hair was choppy, but in an elegant kind of way. He didn’t look as cold as virtual-novel.net usually did in his suits. The pair had very nice skin and looked very photogenic.
The night market was crowded with people, and the lights were not all that bright, a stark and bright contrast with the neon lights of the buildings around them.
