"How long are we staying there, Jessica?"

Both of their bedrooms were open and they were shouting to each other while packing their suitcases for the impromptu vacation. The trip wasn't really a spur-of-the-moment one since she and her friends planned it beforehand. However, they bailed on her last minute.

"I don't know! A week at most."

She pulled the lower drawer on her closet that has nothing but her summer essentials. Living in a tropical country most of her life, she is used to having a separate wardrobe or in this case - a whole drawer full of bikinis.

She threw everything on her bed and picked ones that she liked. She was on her tenth pair when Luke entered her bedroom wearing a Hawaiin shirt while holding two more Hawaiin shirts in his hands.

"Jess, which one should I bring?"

She barely glanced over her shoulder to look at him, "If you have that many Hawaiin shirts in your closet, why don't just bring everything you like. They don't take much space in your luggage and you can wear them every day on the island."

"Yeah, you are right." he turned back to return to his room, "That red polka dot bikini would look really good on you," he added before leaving.

"Really? Thanks!" she grinned. "Off you go," she threw the said red polka dot bikini on the pile of swimsuits she would bring.

She decided to do this trip just the other night, after her conversation with Noah. She needed a breather to think over what he said, and what she wanted. She was thinking of making Noah fall for her, then dumped him - well, that was the stupid revenge she had planned.

Yet, every time Noah was within arm's length she lost her mind. That's when she knew that doing revenge that has something to do with making Noah fall in love with her was not going anywhere when she was the first one to fall into her own trap.

What kind of stupid revenge would it be? Yes, she wasn't going to let go of what Noah did, but at the same time, she couldn't see an actual reason for doing it. She was a consenting adult. Noah didn't put a gun or her head. All he did was take off his shirt and she lost it! She looked at his chiseled abs, his blue eyes and she dropped her panty. Plain and simple.

She can't blame that on the poor man, can she? The part of him not remembering her still bugs her. And that is something that she is going to find out. However, she doesn't know how she could do it without directly asking Noah why. And that is something she wasn't ready to do.

Jace and Siena could probably help her out, but how would she explain the situation to them? They went crazy when they found out that she lost her virginity and they went crazy on her. She couldn't imagine how they would react if they found out that she lost her virginity to a man that doesn't remember doing the deed with her.

It would be chaos! If Jace and Siena found out, Ellise will hear about it. When Ellise hears about it, Dana will know. Once they know - their aunt will find out. And if their aunt finds out - her father will find out!

God forbid! She shuddered with the thought.

Thus, she couldn't let them know about it. She takes a mental note to tell Luke to keep his mouth shut. She was dying to know why Noah forgot about that night but she couldn't see an actual way to know about it. She was putting it behind her for now, but she suspects the mystery would be revealed much sooner than she expected.

She finished the difficult task of choosing twenty pieces of bikinis out of more than a hundred pairs that she has. She picked up the swimsuits that didn't get the final cut and shoved them back to the drawer. She doesn't want to see any of them because she doesn't want to change her mind and spend another long hour deciding which bikinis she likes best!

She was on the task of picking her top ten summer dress to bring when Noah called her phone.

He was on a video call, but she picked up his call without thinking of the fact that she was only wearing boxer shorts and a brassiere.

She hates being restricted with clothes whenever she packed her luggage.

"Jess, are you still angry at me?" he asked, clearing his throat.

She knitted her forehead and without looking at her phone that she put on top of the pile of her bikinis, she continued her deliberation between two white summer dresses but has a slightly different length of sleeve.

"Stop it, Noah. I told you I am not angry at you." she sighed. She doesn't like to be distracted now.

"Hey, why are you trying to kill me?"

"What?!" She dropped the two white summer dresses on her bed and faced her phone. The moment she did, her jaw dropped in shock.

"Wearing barely anything while you answer my call. You are killing me, Jess, I swear to God."

The small screen of the mobile phone can't hide the desires that were in Noah's eyes. Her tongue curled with a chuckle as she noticed the lust dripping from the corners of his eyes.

She gathered her hair into a bun with both hands, then bent over to the camera, smirking. "I wonder why Mr. Tiefenbacher thinks that."

The mold of her breast pressed even tighter against the cup of her brassiere, causing his pants to grow tighter. His eyes were laser of desire as he cursed the distance between them, "Fuck me, Jess. Once I get back you are going to get what you are asking for!"

She chucked, putting down her arms. She dropped herself on her bed littered with bikinis, got nearer to the camera, and in a soft voice asked Noah, "What will I get when you get back?"
