Chapter 10: Visitor in the Bath
“I guess it’s fine if you’re really ok with it...” I replied. Not knowing what else to say.
Zak squeezed my hand under the water.
“Will you stay with me?” Zak asked while looking deep into my eyes. His hazel eyes with those light blond long lashes are so beautiful like eyes of a golden lion.
“Forever...as long as you still want me around,” I promised. As long as Zak needs me, we will always be together. Our relationship will never fade; just like the scars he bears for me.

Evening came much faster than I thought. So far, I’ve been able to avoid Angela by sticking to Zak. Angela spent her time sitting around Lucien, who spent most of the day working on his laptop. It was plain as day that this cruise was not Lucien’s idea and he would rather be spending time working this weekend away in his study.
Dinner with the four of us was awkward at best. Angela tried to make small talk but today Lucien was very taciturn and unfriendly. Zak on the other hand didn’t jump in to help and I obviously did not want to talk to her.
“This cruise is simply amazing. Isn’t it? We should spend more of our weekends on holidays like this. Small getaways are good for relaxing too, right?” Angela said encouraging while beaming her best smile.
Lucien didn’t reply not even bothering to look up from his mobile screen. Whatever joy he presented when he first introduced Angela to me at our house was now gone. Did they get into a fight?
