Together With You

Chapter 13 - Ocean

"It's very indecent of you" aunt Eleanor says once my dad and Drew climb the stairs.

I'm still gathering my stuff as fast as I can.

"You were making out with Roderick here. Did you know that anyone can see you? Or you didn't care? May I remind you that you are a Goldreich. Know your status, Ocean" she says coldly.

I just nod but still busying myself with my stuff.

She chuckles mockingly at me "Ah, my apologies. I forgot who your mom is. You are the same as her. Indecent!" Her words pierce me like a knife

I swallow hard. "I have to clean up, aunt Eleanor. Excuse me" I say run away from her

***

I let the cold water slush my body in my room. Hope it can clean me from aunt Eleanor's words.

Why did I let Drew kiss me like that? I cover my face. But how can I resist him? He is so handsome in his white shirt and short khakis. I am always weak with a broad shoulders man wearing white shirt. Nah you just weak with Drew.

I exhale. I need to control myself better than this. Not to mention aunt Eleanor is like a cctv watching me 24/7.

I fell asleep in my bed once I finished the shower. I stretch and look at the window. Wow sunset! I grin to myself. I take out my dress, it's a boho style long dress, with a flowery accent. Perfect for sunset. I take my big straw heat and my phone.

"Oh my God it's so pretty" I breathe. I take a video with my phone. While my eyes watch the sun saying goodbye to me. This place is so pretty. Drew is a genius!

"Drew look! It's so perfect!" A woman with a high pitch voice says behind me. I turn around and... it's Drew and Aubrey Gold. I know Aubrey, we are in the same social circle after all. Aubrey is wearing a barely there bikini, she wraps her arms around Drew's hand. And her fake boobs clutchhis arm. Clutch. Yes clutch, because they are too big I couldn't even see Drew's arm anymore.

I swallow and look away. Drew has a date for today and he kissed me like that earlier. What the hell is on his mind. I feel my eyes hot.

I forgot who your mom is. You are the same as her. Indecent!

Oh God! Suddenly it's hard for me to breathe. And I realized my hand was shaking holding my phone. I take it down and close my eyes. Trying to breathe.

"Ocean?" Shit!

I inhale deeply and turn around. "Aubrey" I say.

"Drew, it's Ocean!"she says and pulls Drew. God... this is awkward.

Aubrey comes and air kisses me. We aren't that close, but since we often met in the event, we know each other quite well. Aubrey is a social climber not that she doesn't have money. Her parents are millionaires. But her goal is 'billionaires'. Like... Andreas Roderick.

"Hi Aubrey. I'm sorry I forgot I need to go back to my room" I say as nice as I can. I just ready to walk but she holds my hand "wait, can you help me and Drew to take a picture? I want to have a picture with the ocean and the sunset as the background" she says. She looks at Drew sweetly. "your phone babe, mine is in our room."

babe, our room...

I look at the sand, waiting for Drew's phone.

"I forgot to bring my phone," Drew says curtly.

"Oh that's too bad. Or can we use your--"

"I'm sorry Aubrey. I really have to go" this time I didn't wait for her to say anything. I smile (to the sand under their feet) and walk away.
