Reaching You (Book 1 and 2)

Chapter Twenty Five

I saw Tristan and his siblings when we got there. Lucy was waving at me, beaming.

"Hi Ana! I'm so happy that you're here." She said.

"Me too! Too bad Carrie and Julie aren't here."

"Yeah but they need to work too." She said then led me to the tents that they made.

"Tristan said that you'll be sharing tent with Wayne. Oh my gosh! I didn't know that the two of you are dating." She squealed.

I laughed. "Yeah, he's my boyfriend."

"Oh my! You guys are cute." She said. She wanted to tell the story about how Tristan and Carrie but we were interrupted by Percy who greeted me and congratulated me for getting a job and for going out with Wayne. Then he asked her to help him with some stuff.

"Baby, let's bring your things in the tent and let's eat first. I'm hungry." Wayne said, holding my hand and we walked to our tent.

"What do you want to eat?" I asked as I placed my bag inside the tent. I looked at him and saw him looking at me.

"Hmmm. What do I want to eat?" he said and I nodded. "You." He said and I felt my heart beating so fast.

I laughed awkwardly and pinched his nose. "Stop kidding me and let's eat."

We joined the others in the cabin and we ate while sharing stories about their jobs. I was sitting near Lucy and Wayne at my side. I felt his feet playing with the laces of my shoe.

"What the hell are you doing?" I whispered.

"Nothing." He whispered back. And I saw him grinning. This guy was up to something.

"I heard Carrie is in London as an interior designer." said Lucy.

"Yeah that's right while Julie is with her mom in Cape Town. She said something about helping her and photography." I said and Lucy continued eating.

I continued eating while the guys were talking about politics. I felt Wayne's bare foot toying with my bare legs. How come he was not wearing shoes? I didn't say anything and continued eating.

Clang! We all looked at him when we heard his spoon fell on the floor.

"Sorry, just clumsy." He said then bowed to pick his spoon.

I felt his hand brushed my legs then his fingers traveled from my leg to my thigh. I choked and covered my mouth with my hand. I glared at him as he placed his spoon on the table.

"Water?" he asked, smirking.

"Evil." I whispered to him as I took the glass of water. I heard him chuckled.

This guy was making me crazy. All throughout the dinner, he was making his moves to make me lose my mind. He was punishing me. This was what he meant by punishing me.

We gathered at our tents and Tristan gave us telescopes, he got a speaker from the cabin then he played a song. It was Kissing Strangers by DNCE and Nicki Minaj. We were dancing outside our tents then Percy passed us drinks while we were waiting for the meteor shower.

The next song was followed by Slow Hands by Niall Horan.

"Hi baby! Shall we dance?" asked Wayne. He was holding his cola on his left hand and his right slipped to my back.

"I don't think I have a choice." I giggled then placed my cold hands on his neck.

"Well, you actually have lots of options." He said as he buried his face on my shoulder.
