After giving Leon and his wife some personal space to be by themselves and resolve their issue, Ivory left the waterfall attraction and decided to visit the beach.

She had no plans of returning to the house as she didn’t want to quarrel with her mum and sister over Ella. She knew that they were unhappy with her for taking Ella’s side. Hence, she was worried that if she went home alone, they would nag her to death.

On her way to the beach, she perceived that someone had been following her ever since she left the waterfall tourist site. So she decided to walk into the Islafub Flea market in other to disappear into the crowd of excited shoppers and study the person following her.

When she had successfully camouflaged and hid perfectly between some beautiful and colorful hat display; acting as a mannequin, she was stunned to see a tall handsome young man turning his head in all directions, obviously looking for something or someone.

.....

This young man was the perfect example of a tall drink of water.

From Ivory’s rough assessment, the young man was 6’2″ tall, and this checked her list of guys that fall within her spec.

His moderate muscular but athletic look gave hints that he was someone who took his physical fitness exercises seriously. His tanned skin glimmered under the sun and his neatly trimmed dark brown hair gave his oval-shaped face the look of a perfect gentleman.

When he came closer to Ivory, still hopelessly searching for her, without realizing that she was standing a few inches from him with a hat stylishly covering her face, he sighed in frustration.

“Shit!” The young man lamented. “Justin, you just messed up big-time. Why did you let her slip off your fingers so easily? You should have just walked up to her and said, hi.”

“Hi!” Ivory slowly took off the hat that was slightly covering her face and stared at the young man amusingly.

Justin Richmond is a twenty-three years old marine biologist, who recently came down to the island, to spend some time with his parents and grandparents; who happen to be natives of Islafub island.

He was born and brought up on the island in one of the most luxurious mansions ever built. Being an only child, he was lavished with so much love and adoration from his parents and grandparents.

His parents owned most of the hotels and properties on the island and his great-grandparents were said to be the pioneers of Islafub island.

Justin’s love for nature and the sea-dwelling creature was unfathomable. He would always spend hours drawing, writing down, exploring, and most importantly finding harmony between man, the elements, and nature.

When Justin was just twelve years of age, he left the island with his uncle to continue his education overseas. Due to his origin and his love for sea-dwelling creatures, he decided to study and make a career out of marine life.

After eleven years of being away, he finally visited home, to the joy and celebration of his family.

Ever since he arrived, he had been touring every nook and cranny of the island. He tried as much as possible to familiarize himself with his childhood favorite spots.

Every day, he would visit a new place and explore that place until nightfall.

Just like every other day, he visited the waterfall for a fun-filled exploration. However, when he got to the location, he was astonished to find two beautiful young ladies partly undressed and swimming in the pool close to the waterfall.

At first, he was tempted to come out, introduce himself to them and if invited, join them in the fun. But, when he carefully analyzed his intention, he decided that it might scare off the ladies. Hence, he decided to watch them at a safe and hidden distance.

Both beautiful ladies caught his attention and for a second, he wondered if they were human or mermaids capable of switching fins to legs.

However, Justin concluded that they were humans due to the next phase of action.

An equally handsome man; who seem to have a striking resemblance to one of the bubbly babyface ladies came up to her and made her come out of the pool. He whispered something into her ears and just like that, the beautiful girl pick up her clothes and left. 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m

“Wait a second!” Justin’s eyes flared in panic. “Was this handsome man planning on harming the beautiful red hair lady?”

Justin was about to come out of his hiding spot and alert the red hair lady of imminent danger when the next phase of action made him relax and mind his business.

After three more minutes of satisfying his curiosity that the man was not either a rapist or murderer but the red hair lady’s husband, he quickly left the scene; for fear of being tagged a pervert.

Taking a shorter route out of the waterfall site, Justin was excited when he caught up with the other beautiful lady.

She was already dressed in a captivating loosely fitted pink playsuit while happily skipping along the road towards the beach.

He thought of walking up to her to introduce himself but he was Gynophobic. Hence he decided to follow her at a safe distance; in other to find out who she was.

He was still tailing her when she suddenly changed her direction and walked into the flea market.

When he tried to catch up with her, he discovered that she was nowhere to be found. He searched everywhere for her but it seemed as if he was looking for a ghost.

After mentally stroking himself with harsh words, he was at the point of giving up when her sweet voice rang from beside him.

‘Hi,’ was all she said but this took his breath away.

Up close, all Justin saw was a perfectly created work of nature.

He felt he could see his whole universe by just looking into her eternal deep blue eyes.

When she batted her lush long and curly lashes at him, he felt his heartbeat stop and started drumming erratically against his chest.

His hypnotized eyes trailed from her light pink luscious lips to her cool undertone porcelain skin which was as smooth and fresh as the mountain dew.

“Are you going to keep drooling over me or say something?” Ivory asked with slight irritation. She could feel her palm sweety under his intense stare. Heat rose to her cheeks, causing them to redden and her legs suddenly felt wobbly.

‘What is this handsome devil doing to me?’ Ivory wondered.

His mesmerizing gray eyes were like a magical portal and she felt her body and soul dive right in without warning.

All he had to do was just say these words: ‘will you be my girlfriend,’ and she would scream yes for the whole world to hear.

It was certainly bye-bye to her current boyfriend and hello to this new dashing lollipop that she might keep for a month or two if he behaved gentlemanly.

‘Say something dimwits! It is not polite to gawk at a lady the way you are doing.’

Justin felt like punching himself in the face. He felt tongue-tied in her presence and he couldn’t peel his eyes off her for a second.

‘Why is he finding it difficult to speak?’ Ivory narrowed her eyes at him as if his sparkling gray eyes were the sun and it was hurting her.

She was certain that she just heard him speak a while ago; when he was busy looking for her. It was his magical voice that made her disclose herself in the first place. What was wrong now? Was he embarrassed? Or was he scared?

“Young man, do you know that it is very rude to stare at a lady the way you are gawking at me for this long? Don’t tell me you followed me all this way here just to stare at me and say nothing or where you looking for someone else!”

‘No. You’re the one I was searching for! It is you my heart is calling to. You are an angel and you’ve stolen my heart away!’

Justin internal voice responded. However, on the outside he just kept moping at Ivory, too scared to talk to her.

“Hmm!”

Ivory shook her head in disappointment. Being someone that changed boyfriends regularly, she had seen her fair share of all kinds of guys. The audacious, the smooth talker, the shy one, and the novice. But she didn’t know where to classify the young man before her.

As Ivory continued to admire the gorgeous man staring at her, so many sleeping desires sprang up to life.

She felt like molding herself into his strong arms. She wanted to throw caution into the air and desperately kiss him. She wanted to feel and know how he tasted.

Ivory wasn’t the shy type to wait for a guy forever to woo her. Just like her brother Leon, she was direct and expressive with her feeling. If she liked a guy, she usually spoke up, irrespective of what anyone thought or felt.

“Mr. Cute guy, since you feel too embarrassed to express yourself to me, I will help you out.”

“Huh! You...” Justin finally spoke up but his words were swallowed by a crazy but tender tongue-to-tongue kiss from Ivory.
