*Mark's Point Of View*
Waking up to a kiss in the morning was pretty amazing, I couldn't help but hold her closer to me and it made me feel even better when she squeezed me tight, though it was a little too tight I loved it. If only I could have her in that moment, but like I said it has to be special and that means we have to wait.
I checked the weather forecast as I was packing up some snacks and drinks for our sailing day, we don't want any accidents now do we? We should ld be fine to sail in this weather and have a swim as well. Now I'm still trying to figure out if she is really going to fish, it caught me off guard but made her even more attractive.

"Are you done packing up the food and drinks?" She asked walking into the kitchen.
"Yes we should be good to go now." I say carrying both the bag in her hands and the one I used to pack the food and drinks.
"Wait !" She stops me mid way.
"Is anything wrong?" I ask facing her.
"Did you check the weather forecast?"
"Am not am amateur darling so yes I did and the weather is perfect for sailing." I laugh a little.
"Just making sure, we don't want accidents now do we?" she says walking towards the door.
"Absolutely not." I say putting a bag down and pulling her back and right into my chest.
"Cuddling session?" She asks teasingly.
"Aren't you forgetting something?" I say with an eyebrow arched.
"Let me think, I've packed towels, sunscreen, sunglasses...." I cut her off with a small peak on the lips, "Wow that was unexpected, anyway I think I've packed everything is there something you want..." I cut her off again with another peak, "Mark let me finish my.." and another peak.
"You forgot that." I say looking down at her.
"What? a kiss?" She says turning red a little.
"Yep!" I say letting go of her, when she pulls me down to kiss me, I return the gesture by deepening our kiss.
"Are we set to go now." She says slowly pulling away.
"Yes I believe we are unless you want to give me one more?" I say trying to give her puppy dog eyes.
"Nice try now let's go." She says picking up the bag and opening the door.

The moment we stepped outside she wrapped her free hand in mine, I loved the way her touch always sent shockwaves to my entire body and I don't think I can get used to that feeling. She looks so happy walking on the beach and staring at the ocean, am not even paying attention to what she's saying.

"Mark! Are you listening?" She asks shaking the hand she's holding.
"Ummm.." I say trying to see if I remember.
"I was saying it's really beautiful out here, how did you find this very place and the house?" She asks with a touch of curiosity. To be honest I don't think I can answer that question as honest as possible.
"When my parents died they left me with about two million dollars as there combined wealth.."
"Wow that's a lot." She interrupts.
"So I I found this place when I found out they died because I was just like you..."
"Like me?! How?" She interrupts again
"Are you going to let me finish." I say laughing in between words.
"Oh sorry, continue." She says making a zip on her mouth and closing it, it was so cute I couldn't help but smile.
"I was running away because I wasn't ready to face that reality and I ended up here, took a walk and found an abandoned cottage, which is my house. After going back home I decided to buy the land and renovate the house to my liking."
"What were you're parents like?"
"My mother was beautiful like a red rose in full bloom, she could easily light up a room with just a smile and my dad loved her, I loved her as well and there love was unique the kind you only see in novels and romance movies. My dad was a Nobel man he taught how to be a gentleman." I say looking at her.
"You must miss them?" She says looking at the sand.
"Yeah I do, anyway we're almost at the harbor just around the corner."

After less than ten minutes we were at the harbor and I could tell Kanzie was impressed, it's practically a spot for the luxurious boats and it's the most beautiful at night because of the fairy lights that light up the dock. I notice Mr. Fernando the harbor owner and he immediately notices me and comes over.

"Mark! I haven't seen you in awhile now where have you been?" He says pulling me in Forza hug and a pat on the back.
"I've been a little busy that's all, and meet Kanzie." I say pointing at Kanzie.
"Nice to meet you sir." She says reaching out her hand.
"Oh dear you must be the most beautiful thing on this island, please call me Fernando!" He says pulling her into a hug, oh well that's Fernando cheerful and welcoming.
"Thank you am flattered Fernando, and you have a beautiful harbor right here." She says with a bright smile.
"Oh dear you're too sweet, am proud of you Mark you have found yourself a jem, don't lose her. Let me not keep you waiting Garcia is all cleaned and ready for the ocean." He says walking towards you office.
"I like him!" She says smiling at me.
"His very loveable and I like that about him he haloed me in purchasing the house and Garcia, speaking of which shall we." I say walking towards my lovely boat Garcia.
"Yesss." She says following in suit.
"Here she is, isn't she a beauty?" I say proudly
"She's truly amazing, let's see her hit the big blue." She say hoping on like a natural. I release her from the note that holds her closer to the harbor and hope on only to find a little person at the wheel. "Can I?! Can I?! Pleaseeee!!!" She says like an excited twelve year old.
"Did I you you're really adorable?" I say walking towards her and giving her a small peak.
"So can I??!" She says giving me puppy dog eyes.
"How can I resist that face. Let me set the coordinates and you should be set." I say setting the coordinates.

I wasn't so sure about letting Kanzie take the wheel but I trust my girl and I believe she will see us through. The best fishing spot is across the costal gride that's where the deapth of the ocean drops by 10,000km so it's perfect to catch rare fish but also a bit dangerous because of the white sharks.

"The locator says we have reached our coordinates." She says turning off the engine and stripping into her bikini, talk about temptations at there worst.
"Wow princess! What a way to test a man's patience." I say walking towards her and giving her a peak on her lips.
"Just get the rods and let's get this party started." She says pulling away and walking towards the edge.
"Yes ma'am." I say walking down to the cabin and removing two fishing rods and a bucket full of bait. "Where we go one for you and one fore me." I say splitting the rods .
"Let's do this!" She says sticking are hand in the bait bucket and hooking a worm on her rod. She did it with so much ease like it didn't even bother her to get her hands dirty.

After an hour of fishing we managed to catch twelve yellowtail snappers and fifteen groupers. Just to be honest she caught more fish than I did, and I was busy day dreaming about how good she looked doing it. I guess she looks good no matter she's doing, I close the coolers with all the fish and make a run for the ocean just to clean up.

"Hey!! Are you insane or do you have a death wish." She says immediately I hit the water.
"Come on in we are in the safe zone no sharks." I say.
"What makes you so sure??" She says crossing her arms.
"Because all of them are beyond that line over there." I say pointing at the warning line.
"In that case...." She jumps in with the same energy as I had when I jumped in. "This feels nice, the water is calming." She says laying on her back.
"Yeah it does that sometimes." I say swimming towards her and wrapping my arms around her waist, "You really are a jem."
"Thank you." She says wrapping her arms around my neck and giving me a kiss.
"How about we head back?"
"Sounds good." She makes her way to the ladder to get on.

After getting back to the harbor we shared our fish with Fernando and his crew and we took some with us. We walked slowly on the beach and when we were almost there I pulled her closer to me.

"Did you enjoy your day so far?" I ask holding her in my arms.
"Yes I did thank you." she wrapped her hands around my neck and gives me a quick peak.
"Am glad you did, how about we make dinner?"
"I'd love that, but first we need to get cleaned." She says trying to set herself free from my arms. After another kiss i intertwine my hand in hers. it's amazing how they fit together perfectly.
