The next day, the moon had disappeared and the sun had appeared in its place. Laura woke up at half past six in the morning. She left her room and went downstairs.
Justin, Ethan, William, Sarah, and Lidya were already in the living room. Laura was still not awake. Justin let Laura sleep first, maybe she was tired. They were preparing everything they needed for later.
"Justin?"
The soft voice of a wake-up call caught Justin's attention. He turned around and saw Laura walking towards him. Justin walked over to Laura and ruffled her hair.
"Are you awake?"
Laura nodded slowly in response. Her eyes weren't fully open yet. Justin smiled sweetly and kissed Laura gently on the forehead. She wasn't surprised, probably because she hadn't woken up before. Justin put his arm around Laura, bringing her face close to his chest.
"Are you still sleepy?"
"A little, but it's okay Justin. What are you doing?"
Justin ruffled Laura's hair. "We're getting things ready for later. You can rest if you're still sleepy."
"It's okay Justin, I'll help."
"Whatever you say."
Justin wrapped his arm around Laura's waist as he walked back.
"Laura, are you awake?" asked William.
Sarah chuckled. "Of course he's awake. Can't you see that?"
"You're being so rude to me, I'm just making sure. She could be sleepwalking," William retorted.
Laura smiled and shook her head. Sarah and William were always fighting, they never got along, they did but rarely.
"Can't you guys just get along for once?" asked Justin in surprise.
William scowled. "The world shakes if I get along with her."
"Gosh, you're so over the top Will, I wish you two good luck, Amen-"
"Never!" William and Sarah exclaimed simultaneously.
Ethan clapped his hands. "See? You guys are already together," he mocked.
"Don't let me match with him," Sarah prayed.
"How much do you hate me?" wondered William.
Sarah showed her fierce face. "Yes! Why?"
"Then what about me. Don't let me be a match for her, oh God!"
"Stop! Is that okay? You guys, there's no day without fighting." Lidya snorted in annoyance. "Now we're off, we're all set!"
"Alright, we're leaving now!" Sarah exclaimed.
"Tsk, you were annoyed earlier, now you're happy." William sneered.
Sarah just rolled her eyes lazily in response to William's remark.
Laura's eyes lit up at the dolphin in front of her now. The dolphin was going in and out of the water as usual. It was the first time in her life that she had seen a dolphin. Before, Laura had never seen a dolphin with her own eyes. And now she could see it. How happy Laura felt at this moment.
"Do you like it?"
Laura turned to her side where Justin was standing. She immediately hugged him tightly. "Thank you! Really, it's my first time seeing dolphins. Thank you Justin!"
The feeling Justin was feeling at this moment was happy. When he saw Laura happy, he felt happy too. Justin smiled and returned Laura's hug. He rested his chin on Laura's head while enjoying the sight of the dolphins in front of him.
"Laura, why aren't you wearing your jacket?"
Laura looked up and grinned. "I'm sorry, I forgot to bring it Justin."
"You'll catch cold Laura, put this on!" Justin took off his jacket and gave it to Laura.
"No need, you put it on, Justin." she refused.
"I'm used to the cold, so you wear it."
"Right?"
"Yes, baby."
Laura smacked Justin lightly on the chest. "Don't call me baby Justin!"
"So what?"
The woman snorted. "I'm embarrassed Justin for goodness sake!"
Justin giggled at the statement that he didn't expect to come out of his girlfriend's lips.
Justin tugged on Laura's nose anxiously. "Well, looks like you're going to have to get used to it Ms. Anderson. Because I'm going to be using it a lot."
"What a guy!"
"I am, now you put the jacket on." Justin pleaded.
Laura shook her head.
"I don't want to Justin, you wear it, I'm fine."
Justin's eyes sharpened. "Put it on Laura" he hissed.
"Alright, I'll use it." resigned Laura. Seeing Justin's piercing gaze, Laura was scared of it, so it was better to obey Justin's words and use the man's jacket.
"Good, now you take what's in that pocket."
Laura reached into Justin's jacket pocket and pulled out something thin. She took it out and frowned. Laura looked at Justin questioningly.
"Read," Justin pleaded.
"To the kitchen?" Laura frowned in confusion as she read what was written on the paper. What was he going to the kitchen for?
"Eat Laura, you haven't filled your stomach since this morning."
Laura breathed out surprised that Justin cared so much about her. "I had some tea before I left Justin, you asked me to."
The man chuckled. "I only told you to drink tea this morning Laura, so now you eat."
"But Justin, I want to see the dolphins," Laura whined.
"Eat now Laura, I promise I'll bring you here again. Okay?"
Laura's smile grew and her eyes sparkled with happiness. "You promise?"
"I promise," Justin said firmly.
Laura jumped with joy and hugged Justin tightly. "Thank you Justin!"
"Now you eat, don't get sick." Justin rubbed the top of Laura's head.
"Okay boss!"
Laura skipped off to the yacht's kitchen leaving Justin shaking his head and smiling at Laura's teenage behavior. Even though she was an adult. Justin followed Laura inside with a smile etched on his face. He went inside his large place and into the kitchen.
Once in the kitchen, Justin saw Laura eating the food he had cooked especially for her earlier. He had cooked it with love. Justin leaned against the kitchen door as he watched her eat the food he had made. Just for a moment, Justin walked back to Laura. Justin's presence kept Laura from putting the spoonful of food into her mouth. Laura looked at Justin who was sitting on one of the chairs near her.
"Tasty?"
"It's good Justin! No no in fact it's very good, your cooking beats mine Justin you should be a chef." Laura praised.
Justin smiled slightly. "That's your opinion, but I think your cooking is the best Laura."
