Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico is a very astounding place to be. It's like I'm on a terrific vacation. Cross out my boyfriend isn't here with me.

The wind was blowing pretty kind of strong that's messing up my hair. The picturesque view of the beach as it calmly wets the shore, is beautiful. It's so peaceful here and I just couldn't find any words to hate this place cos this is a piece of paradise. Far from the busy streets of New York. Far from pollution. Far from the media. Far from everyone who wants to butt in into our lives.

At least for a while Ben would have fun without me worrying about what the people are gonna say. Ben is busy playing with his two nurses and I'm glad Louis reserved an extra room for them just to be with us. We have our two bodyguards as well which is also on another extra room.

Today is our first anniversary and Louis isn't even here with me. Today is almost perfect if Louis could've been just here. I try to understand why he couldn't come, I try to tell myself that it's okay not to celebrate it on the exact date. I try to tell myself that Louis will be here and that he's not spending time with some women. Gosh! Now I feel worst for thinking like that, I worry about Louis but then I did such thing behind his back. How terrible I am? He's very busy doing God knows what in London that is so important to him together with God knows who he's with.

What if he's getting his revenge? He might be with some other women just to get his mind off of what happened? No. No. No Miranda. Louis couldn't do that to you!

I'm so irritated that he's not here.

I'm so bothered where and who he is with.

I'm so mad he's not here.

I hate it.

I gazed at my phone and I've texted him that we were already here but he's not answering my text. I think he's still having his flight to London?

Argh! I don't know!

He's out of reach.

He's nowhere!

Me: I don't know where you are but it's been two hours since I texted you. Have fun wherever you are!

It's already 12 noon and I'm starving.

All of us headed to the restaurant and ordered some foods for us. And though Louis' is paying for everything here while he's away, I couldn't seem to enjoy this place as much as I want to. I can't enjoy these foods even though they're delicious as hell. I can't seem to get excited on swimming cos Louis isn't around.

My phone lights up.

Louis: I just landed in London love. I hope you're enjoying Puerto Rico right now. Miss you both already. See you in 2 days. I love you! x

I sigh.

Two fucking days.

•••••

Around three in the afternoon, as I was lounging on the pool chair all by myself. I thought I was going to enjoy the beach for a night swimming but guess what? Nobody was allowed to go to the beach anymore since a very rich fat man reserved it all for himself. Not even one can go and take a peek. Wow, he must be that wealthy to have the entire beach all to himself.

Ben was busy swimming with the help of his personal nurses, I was busy playing with my phone on my hand. I was waiting for Louis to text but he hasn't texted me anymore.

God this guy!

He must be totally busy!

Me: Somebody save me from boredom! Pleaaaaaase!

I hit send.

I take a drink from my orange juice while I kept my focus on my son. I wore a plain white beach dress and a pair of golden flops on my feet with a very delicious beverage on my hand. Suddenly I feel my phone vibrating.

Vivian: Haha! How's Puerto Rico?

Me: Beautiful! Not as fun cos Louis isn't here! And to think it's our first anniversary. Can't believe it.

Vivian: Heyyyy he's a busy man. You should be thankful enough that he brought you there and I'm sure he'll be there as he promised.

Me: PLEASE tell me you didn't hide him or you didn't kidnap him.

I grinned.

Vivian: HAHA! I hate sharing. But you make a great couple with Louis so I won't kidnap him. And to be truthfully honest? I like him more for you than Harry.

I sigh.

Me: Let's not talk about Harry please? This is a please.

Vivian: Let me rant about that dick. I hated him the moment he intentionally got you pregnant. I mean come on! He can't go that far. I didn't thought he'd be that low! He's already fucking Audrey and got her pregnant then he fucked you too then got you pregnant as well! What is he? Some sperm bank?!

I pursed my lips as I read her text.

Me: The only problem is that I gave in. I tried to stop him. My mind was telling me to stop him but my body was taking over. Lust took over me.

Vivian: I can't blame you. Harry's hot and I know you love him Miranda. Even though you tell me every single day over and over again that you love Louis, but what you feel for Harry is stronger than what you feel for Louis. And don't lie to me.

I bite my lip. I'm scared that what Vivian is saying might be true.

Me: I don't wanna talk about this anymore. Please. I know I love Louis. It's our first anniversary and I'm happy with him.

Vivian: Then what about that baby inside you? Have you talked to Harry about that?

Me: He hasn't contacted me and I'm not going to beg for him to be a father to this child.

Vivian: What if he comes to you after his honeymoon?

I sigh.

Me: I don't know. I don't wanna think about that for now. Talk to you later alright? I need to enjoy Puerto Rico. Ciao! :)

Vivian: Ciao is Italian honey. Haha! But alright. Have fun in PR! :)

I chuckle to myself.

•••••

By six in the evening, Ben was already fast asleep on top of the bed. His personal nurses were with him and I was busy lounging on the couch watching tv while I'm waiting for the foods that I ordered. I know I should enjoy Puerto Rico but I can't find the eagerness to enjoy it without Louis. I've been thinking about Louis all day and I wonder where he is right now. Louis hasn't even texted me since a while ago and it's driving me insane.

Louis.

Louis.

Louis.

I don't know where my man is!

Finally a doorbell came by the door.

Thank heavens my foods are here!

I hopped off the couch and rushed my hungry ass to the door. I swing it open and I jerked away from the door once I saw a very tall man standing right outside my room. He wore an all black suit and tie while he was holding a huge white box. I glued my eyes on him and I thought this was some prank or he might be at the wrong door.

"You must be... At the wrong door?" I asked him.

He shakes his head with an answer and smiled at me. "No mam. I was asked to deliver this to Presidential Suite room 6."

That's my suite. I answered mentally.

"Are you Miss Miranda Rose?" He asks.

I'm surprised.

What is this?

He begins to walk and I just followed him around silently. When we stepped out of the elevator, I found ourselves at the lobby. I just kept on following him until we reached the pool area. I began to worry, since the restaurant is one the other way around.

"Excuse me? Where are you taking me? The restaurant is that way." I pointed out for him.

"Oh don't worry Miss Rose, not all dinner can happen inside a restaurant." He answers.

I know I shouldn't be following him but the curiosity of finding out who this man is asking me for dinner is strong.

Finally, I recognized that we were on our way to the....

Beach?

That rich fat man asked me out?!

"Hey, this place is reserved. We shouldn't be here." I tell him.

"He reserved the entire beach for you Miss Rose. He's hoping you're not scared of him." He says.

Why? Does he look that hideous to worry about scaring me? I thought.

The man helped me step down the staircase and when I finally felt the sand on my toes, I was more nervous of who this man is asking me out. The entire beach was really really quiet and spotless. No one really was around.

My eyes travelled to that large white party tent with a table set for two. There were lights on the pathway leading to the party tent and my heart is beating fast for an unknown reason. I noticed that the man was gone when I was starting to walk over the lighted pathway. Everything was well prepared and I didn't expect someone would reserve the entire beach for something like this just for me.

If Louis could've done this for me since its our anniversary today.

There were series bulbs around the beach and the full moon on the sky beamed through the clouds. There were no stars but the entire beach was well prepared. I still don't see anyone and when I got inside the party tent, I waited for someone to join me.

"He said that I should tell you to wait here for him." The man said while he pulled a chair for me.

I sat down. "Is he gonna be long?" I asked him.

"I think he won't." He begins to leave.

"Hey! You'll be leaving me?" I called out for him.

He halted. "Yes."

His head moved to that man standing way far from us. I froze. I couldn't see his face or his entire body since he was standing in the shadows. He's kind of tall and he's a bit slim but not too slim.

He's slim.

He's not fat? I heard that he's a rich fat man? Where did I miss the fat part? Or maybe that's not him. That could be his butler or secretary.

Can he just come out of the shadows already? He's making me scared when he stands like that there in the shadows looking like slender man.

"He's here." The man tells me.

I gulped and watch him walk away from the table. I'm tensed. I'm actually frightened who this guy is. Maybe he's been stalking me when I got here.

The shadowed man finally begins to walk out of the darkness and I'm also feeling excited and nervous. Every step he takes makes my heartbeat louder. He's getting closer and nearer to me. My fingers were fidgeting over my lap and I think I was sitting on the chair very uneasily.

The man finally comes out of the shadows and my jaws dropped. It was the most unexpected person to see.

He smiles at me and pulled out a bouquet of big white roses from behind him.

"Louis?" I gaped.

His smile was still plastered on his face. "Hi love."

I quickly stood from my chair and a smile creeps on my face. I threw myself at him and wrapped my arms around him as tight as I could.

I feel him rubbing the bottom of my spine and kissed my cheeks.

"It's you. It's really you." I muffled.
