“Yeah, once!” Bianca said, appraising her glance at her environment. The amber sunshine devours her beauty, she squint's her eyes avoiding the sun's rays. Lucas passes a sunshade to her “You need this” He also puts on a sunshade.
“What a sunny day!” Lucas exclaimed. Their feet keeps sinking into the white sand and they kept on digging it out while walking to their destination.
Low cool music plays in the background as a few people migrate into the island, few people wander having fun. Lucas leans closer to her, following her every step and his hawkish eyes didn't retire. He had the urge to hold hands with her, his heart's slow motions as his hand moves closer to hers.
His hand shivers, and he promptly slides his hands into his pockets, his wild and frightened eyes concealed by his sunshades. “This isn't the first time I'm so close to her, what's with this weird feeling?”
“Do you know what I love about this island?” Bianca turns to him, her hair sways aside as she turns her head, and she starts walking backward, her feline eyes jam Lucas.
“Ample sunshine? white sand beaches?”
Flashed black, dispassionate as bullets
Bianca's brown eyes widened as she threw up both hands, spreading his hands in the air. She inhales deeply “Nah, this island is mostly filled with lovely creatures and few humans. I'm ninety-nine percent safe here,” Bianca said.
“If you say so!” Lucas mumbles.
Bianca leads the way, wandering. She unglued her eyes from him, about to turn around.
Alas, she bumps into a lady in a bikini “Oww!” She winced, placing her hand below her abdomen. She fell to the ground with a delighted facial expression. She lowers her gaze to her stomach.
“Im so sorry….Are you alright?….. Do you guys care for a tour around M. Island” The lady in the bikini uttered, lending her a hand to rise? Bianca stretches her hand towards her, she fell back to the floor.
“Oww…” Bianca gently strokes her hand on her stomach.
Lucas imagined avid eyes attested to her quick wit but it wasn't a wit.
“Get up, Bianca. I'm not ready for your unnecessary drama.”
“Do I look like I'm pulling pranks? I’m in so much pain buttface!” Bianca's crudely insulting stare knocks some senses in his head, snapping him out of his endearing imagination.
“Are you alright? Did she hurt you?” Lucas's eyes bulge out in fright, he squats closer to her. His amber cat eyes narrowed.
Bianca gasps as her water broke,
“I can feel her…she's coming” Bianca blazed like torches.
Lucas's eyes widened
“Do you mean the baby?” Lucas gasps after receiving a positive nod. Bianca's lashes went up as she blinks, Lucas and the bikini lady helped her up.
“Hurry! Let's get her to a nearby hospital” The lady in the bikini uttered, she winks at Lucas biting her lower lips. She touches Bianca, sliding her finger to Lucas. Lucas's heavy brow slanted in strong disapproval as soon as her fingers starts to waggle on his hairy skin.
“There's a hospital nearby. I work there ” The lady said, she rolled her eyes, letting go of Bianca. She leads the way while Lucas helps, he crosses Bianca's arm around his neck, placing his other hand on her waist supporting her.
Bianca inhales and exhales deeply, taking steady steps. She shuts her eyes “Im so tired, let's wait for a minute.” she hums in pain.
“No, we are almost there, right?” Lucas said shifting his gaze to the lady in the bikini.
“We are here!” The lady in the bikini uttered. Bianca heaved a sigh of relief seeing a hospital close to her.
Bianca got admitted to the hospital, she was anxious as she lays on the hospital bed.
“Stay calm, Bianca. Everything would be fine.” Lucas said before placing a kiss on her forehead.
Lucas exits the labor room. The doctors gave attention to her. Lucas bites his fingers as he sits beside her shut ward.
Anxiety filled the room.
Lucas's eyes widen and a smile spreads across his face as he heard baby cries. Lucas jumps.
“Gosh! I haven't thought of a cute name yet”
Years later…
In a well-decorated room, Lucas was seated, fixing his gaze on the newspapers in his arms. He subconsciously takes a sip of orange juice, he turned around as his grip on his gun tightens. He hides the gun behind him. His gunmetal eyes moved to a young lady in a bikini sneaking out.
The young lady paused with a feigned smile.
“Hey, dad. I thought you were also asleep?” A feminine voice let out. She looked stunned, surprisingly staring at him. She also hides some stuff behind her but her surfboard was a bit obvious.
Lucas flings the newspaper to the other couch, “What's behind you?” Lucas questioned.
“Same question implies to you. I wish to know what you always hide.” Celine replied.
“I can see the surfboard, there's no need of making things weirder,” Lucas uttered.
“My instincts were right, you sneak out when we are asleep,” Lucas concluded.
Celine's shoulders slump, and she brings out her surfing equipment. She slides her hand in her red and white dyed long hair, huffing air from his nostrils.
“Dad, I won't be sneaking out if mum allowed me to go out and interact as every other child does. I wish to live my life just like others” Celine explained, she was held hostage by his eyes.
“Sweetheart, your mum is only trying to protect you, nothing less. ” Lucas explained.
“Does that mean you would keep this little secret?” Celine beams.
“No… no… definitely no! I don't wish to get fired… I meant fired with insults..heh..heh” Lucas scratches his hair, and he dips his pistol in his back pocket.
“Dad, please! I promise I would be back before you blink an eye” Celine pleads.
“Alright…put on this booth.” Lucas kicks a pair of white plain booths to her with a commanding visage.
“I'm aware there's a tracking device on this booth. It doesn't give me the confidence I want ” Celine
“Then pretend like you aren't aware” His eyes flashed with gaiety.
“Gosh! You guys are always overprotective! How do you expect me to surf with a booth?” she squeezed her eyes shut and gritted her teeth as put on the booths.
“Yeah… that's more like it. Stay safe out there, alright?”
“Ugh….You are just like captain mum. Will see you soon. ” Celine said, she placed a kiss on Lucas's head.
“I love you” Lucas whispered.
Celine took a step away.
“When I mention I love you, you reply with I love you dad” Lucas shouts.
“Shush, your voice is audible and loud. You can wake up mum ” Celine shot him a disgusted gaze.
“Give me a reply.”
