12 - promiscuous
THE NEXT DAY YOU MAKE SURE to wake up early enough to get some more space from your husband. You try to make little to no noise while getting ready for the day. If Toji would ignore you and your questions then you would ignore him because there was nothing else to talk about. After putting on a similar outfit to yesterday, you grab your unpacked beach bag and make your way to the front door.
You held your sandals in one hand so they would flop on the floor and tip-toe almost to the door. Your eyes drift over to the couch where Toji was. His legs were off the couch since they were too long for the love seat, he decided against a blanket so you get the view of him only clad in boxers again, and even though you knew you shouldn't, you look at his relaxed sleeping face. He looked different when he was vulnerable, almost welcoming.
Deciding to cut your admiring short in case he sensed eyes on him, you successfully made your leave. The sun was still rising, creating the most beautiful mix of red and oranges over the ocean that was empty from anyone but you. Now that you were away, you didn't know what to do with yourself. Satoru flashed in your mind and pain began to swarm your heart despite you not wanting to have any further feelings about Satoru besides anger at him leaving you. Your heart was happy but your mind and soul felt the disconnect.
Knowing he was on this island made you look around as if he would be around any corner. You never thought that was possible again. While rubbing your forehead from the tension headache coming on, your stomach growls. Since you hadn't bothered to eat after getting home yesterday, you were starving and decided the first stop was breakfast. While walking down the beach to where the restaurants were, your phone buzzed in your bag. It was your sister calling.
"Melina, are you ok?" you ask and take a seat on a bench before anything because she never called unless it was important. Being away for so long was hard when you worried about what was happening in your absence, without giving a safe place for the girls to run to.
"Everything is ok," she says happily which eases you a little. "I wanted to call and check up on you, how's the honeymoon?"
You laugh, it was anything but. "Great. Been doing my own thing." there was no way you could tell her about seeing Satoru, not without knowing everything even though Melina would only be happy about his return. "I played beach volleyball and got drinks with newly made friends. One of them even gave me his number." you knew Melina liked the juicy stuff when it comes to her older sister's life and you were happy to get that bond with her.
She gasps and giggles. "Of course, he saw you in a bikini! Please tell me you're thinking of texting him." Melina says.
"Melina, he's a stranger and leaving in two days." you knew nothing could happen and didn't entertain the thought even if he was so attractive. "Anyway, how are you? How's Dioni?" you attempt to change the subject.
