Laura blushed and continued eating. Just as she was about to put a spoon into her mouth, Justin moved her hand towards his mouth and ate it. Immediately Laura gave Justin an annoyed look while he just showed his innocent face.
"Justin!"
"My cooking is good too, haha."
Laura rolled her eyes. "You're praising yourself." Laura glared.
Suddenly Justin grabbed Laura's spoon and plate and she made a confused face. "My food Justin..."
"I know honey, I just wanted to feed you. Now open your mouth. Aaa..." Justin opened his mouth and asked her to do the same.
"Aaa..."
Laura's mood somehow felt very comfortable. She seemed to really like Justin's attentive nature towards her. She liked how Justin cared for her. She liked it when Justin was so worried about her. She liked it when Justin was sweet to her. And she also liked the way Justin thought of her as fragile as if she was easily broken or fragile. Basically, he liked everything Justin was doing to him right now.
"Have you eaten yet Justin?" asked Laura as she opened her mouth again.
"I did, before you woke up."
"Mm..." Laura mumbled as she chewed.
After Justin fed Laura many times and finally the food on the plate was gone. Laura picked up her plate and carried it to the sink to wash it. Justin was leaning against the refrigerator, looking at her from the side and smiling. Occasionally, Laura's eyes glanced at Justin with an embarrassed smile. After putting down the dishes she had washed, Laura wiped her hands dry and then approached Justin. "Why do you keep looking at me?"
"You're so beautiful to look at Laura."
"Don't start Justin."
Justin laughed and took Laura outside to enjoy the view. During the trip, Laura kept holding back her embarrassment because he kept flirting with her.
"How was it?"
Laura frowned. "How what?"
"How do you feel?" Justin asked.
With a smile etched on her face Laura replied. "Happy? I think so and it's all thanks to you and the others. I wouldn't feel this way if I hadn't messed with your file that time."
"So, you don't regret it?"
Laura chuckled. "Are you kidding? Of course I regret it. I don't know what that file was but it must have been important. I can't wait to get away from you, you're so annoying. I'll get high blood pressure if I stay with you," she said.
Justin grinned like a demon, which Laura found terrifying. "Just wait for that moment Laura, and when it comes, you won't want to get away from me."
"Don't get big Mr. Watson!" she hissed.
"Oh yeah? I'll wait for that time to come and we'll see."
"Okay who's scared!" challenged Laura. "Or maybe it's you who doesn't want to let me go."
"Hm, no problem. Maybe I'll do it later so you won't get away from me." The man grinned again.
Laura glared. "If you dare to do that, I'll escape on my own without you knowing!"
"Besides, where will you live if I let you go?" Justin smiled wryly at the silent Laura.
"I... I can find a job and then I can rent a place to live. Just like before I met you."
Justin frowned in displeasure. "Then you're going to live in poverty like that? I won't let that happen to you Laura. Even if you can survive, but living like that? No Laura."
But I can't stay with you all the time Justin. How will your wife react when she sees another woman living with you? With you? She won't feel comfortable." Laura again felt a sting in her heart as she said that. God, what was wrong with her?
"That's-"
"Justin!"
Sarah suddenly shouted as she came running up to Justin from beside them. "It's time to go snorkeling. The others are waiting for you."
Justin turned his face to normal. "Really? Okay then."
"Umm, Sarah I'd like to talk to Justin for a minute."
Justin gave Laura a confused look but she ignored him. Sarah nodded in response and left. Laura looked at Justin with a bit of concern.
Her face was back to its usual self again, not flat and not like she hated Justin.
"What's wrong Laura?"
"I... I..."
Justin made a curious face as he waited for an answer from Laura who was looking at him with a worried face.
"I... I..."
Justin let out a rough sigh. "What's wrong Laura? Don't make me curious and worried at the same time."
"I'm afraid of snorkeling."
"What?"
Justin made a stupid face and laughed so hard that Laura frowned.
"Why are you laughing?!"
"Oh my gosh Laura geez! I thought it was something." Justin laughed and smiled gently.
"Calm down, I'll always be with you. You don't have to worry. You trust me right?"
Laura shook her head. "No, I don't trust you. You're a pervert!"
"Oh so that's what you think? Well from now on I'll always be a se-sat! Just like what you said earlier." Justin replied not to be outdone.
Laura's face turned irritated as Justin replied to her. She turned her face away. "That's it, I don't want to go snorkeling. Bye!"
Just as Laura was walking away from the man, Justin pulled her body a little roughly and bumped her hard chest. Laura felt pain in her chest from the impact.
"Oh!"
Justin grinned. "No excuses Ms. Anderson. You'll still come snorkeling with us!" he hissed.
Laura immediately wanted to refuse, not because she was afraid anymore, because she actually trusted Justin. The reason she refused was because her chest was hurting. But if she told him, Justin might find out about her heart condition and it would be very dangerous if he knew. Laura forced herself to go with Justin.
"Justin, Laura come on!" exclaimed Ethan.
There was a guide who would help them and explain the rules and what they shouldn't touch while snorkeling.
"Sir, you need to be reminded that you are not allowed to touch the coral reefs down there, and do not touch other marine life, because some marine life cannot be touched by humans, so when touched it will die. You are also not allowed to feed the fish or other sea creatures."
They nodded slowly, even though Justin, Ethan, and William already knew all that, they still appreciated the guide who was very protective of the beauty of the sea. "We'll keep that in mind." Justin said.
"Then, you guys-"
"Akh!"
Everyone turned to the source of the sound. Laura was holding her own chest which was in a lot of pain. She felt a little short of breath because of the pain that spread across her chest. Laura walked backwards so that she could support her body with the iron on the side.
Justin felt very worried seeing Laura in such pain. He approached Laura and looked at her with concern.
"Laura, are you okay?"
"Justin, my chest... it feels-"
"Laura!"
