Sterling's POV

Blair wasn't kidding about this place.It was beautiful and the resort was designed accustomed to April's taste.She was always particular with things and undeniably her taste is spectacular.

"I can't believe there was such places." I started and she chuckled, looking at me.

"Of course there is.Let's check in and we can figure out what to do next." April lead the way as the bell boy took our luggage to the resort.

"Welcome to Lakeside Resort! Do you have a reservation?" A young mannered lady greeted us and April nodded.

"And under whose name?"

"Miss Stevens."

"Okay...the room will be ready in about 10 mins and you could wait in the lobby before someone escorts you to your executive suite."

"Thank you."

April took my hands, leading me to the lobby area where other guests were waiting patiently for their rooms as well.

"So..what are your thoughts?" She faced me and I smiled.

"I think it's perfect, and we finally get to spend alone time together, far from our family and friends."

"So...I was thinking we could go for hikes and explore the place.I'm sure nature doesn't hurt any of us." She nudged as she looks over at her phone, scrolling through the activities.

"And here I thought we were on a vacation." I joked, and she rolled her eyes. "I'm sure you'll love it."

I took her hands and interlocked them with mine,as we wait for our room to be sorted out.


"Miss Stevens.Your room is prepared.May I guide you there?" We nodded and he took us to the top floor where private suites are.

He opened the door and holy Molly,it was a view.The living room was spacious where there was black leather couch, with a cooler filled with drinks and snacks at the side.The window pane clearly gave us the whole view to the nature reserve and the table had magazines and newspapers perfectly spread out.

The dim lighting in the bedroom sets the tone of the afternoon and the keystone queen sized bed had a silk blanket with enough room for two.

Let's not even talk about the bathroom because the things I would do to April in there...


"I will leave you to it, if you need room service, be sure to give us a call.Thank you." The staff closed the door behind, and my eyes were still everywhere.

However,April has already set her eyes on the bed and charge towards it and jumps on it.I followed closely behind, and jumps on top of her.Her fast reflexes didn't allow it and she stood up right in time.

"Pfft." I huffed and she laughed.

"Finally a bed with no distractions and disturbance." I sighed, lying comfortably on the bed.

"Right..." April looks down on me and I smirked.I pulled her by the waist and she tumbled on top of me and laughed.

"This is the view that I was looking forward to actually." I kissed her softly and takes in her familiar scent.

"Okay...we could do that later but I have made plans for this trip."

"C'mon don't be a party pooper,babe." I pulled her in again and she giggled.

"A few minutes would be pretty decent." She smirked and I pulled her in again for a kiss.


After our little make out session, we got changed into our tracking pants and shoes, since April planned out a hiking trip.There was a group hiking scheduled at 3 and then we'd be back down by 7.

"Did you know that hiking at least burn 300-600 of calories and it's a good way to take in all that nature." April lets out and I smiled.

'What?" She looks at me,cross armed and eyebrows arched.

"Well,you know there's other ways, babe."I pulled her in but she placed a finger on my chest.

"You're not wrong but we still do have a schedule in mind." She pushes me off and starts walking to the group.

If I'm damned...


"Welcome everyone! I'm your guide,Kate and here's my partner,Chase.We will be guiding you through this hiking trip and back down safely.Everyone's safety and cooperation is important and don't worry we'll have small breaks in between.Be sure to stick with your partners."

Kate started rounding everyone up and taking our attendance.She makes a quick glance at the group and proceeds to lead us.Chase was at the back, ensuring those behind doesn't fall back.

Kate started off by talking about the various edible flowers and plants we could find in between our trail.Some of the elderly just listened along while some took pictures and vlog about it.

"If you have any questions, be sure to ask.I'm here to answer them." Kate mentions as well.

A blonde haired girl with a relatively good body raises her hand and Kate took noticed, nodding.

"Is it suitable to camp out here?"

"Not relatively but there are spots suitable for our fellow visitors and if you do want a better experience, we offer glamping on the other side with the best views and open field." Kate answered and the blonde haired girl seemed to be satisfied with the answer.

I looked at April and she was already beaming from ear to ear.Her eyes sparkles when she hears anything with luxurious facilities and a good view.

After about 30 minutes of hiking,we took a small break.It was at this rocky boulder area but nothing dangerous of sorts.

"It's safe to say that I'm enjoying myself apart from those teenagers behind us." I admitted and April gave her 'I know I'm right' smile.

"Right? Like we don't care who you like Steve." April mocked and I stifled a laugh.


We finally got to the top after about 45 minutes and it sure wasn't a waste of my time, we could see the resort from here and the lake as well.The cold wind from above here was giving me chills and goosebumps.

"Cmon,let's take a selfie." I fished my phone from my pocket and brings it up.April made a funny face while I did a genuine smile.It looks cute,I'm going to save it and send it to Blair.

She's missing out, plenty.

"I'm sorry to interrupt but are you two a couple?" Kate walks up to us and April blushed a little.

"Yeah we are."

"Do you mind if I take a picture of both of you? It'd be great for our hiking trip photos."

"Sure,go ahead." April slides her hand to sides of my waist, and smiled at the camera.

"One..two..three...say hiking!"

"Hiking!" Our voice resonated the rest of the group but they just continued with their business.

"Aww,it looks great." Kate showed us the picture and I smiled, kissing April's forehead.

"Do you mind if you send it to me?" April requested and all of us started talking a little before we started heading down.


By then the sun was about to go down and everyone makes their way to the resort,April pulled me back from the group.

"What's going on, babe?" I asked softly,which came out as a whisper.

"I was thinking of other extracurriculars if you're up for it."

"And what is that?" I was about to get real excited when April takes out another brochure.

"Shouldn't we give it a rest?My legs are pretty darn tired, and if I have to walk up a hill one more time,I-"

"I'm kidding, babe.Do you think a pretty face like me wants to be stranded for the night?" April joked and I let out a sigh of relief.

"Thank God.We should head back to our suite then." I was about to follow the group's direction but April wasn't following.

"This is actually the extracurricular." April takes Sterling's hand and April takes them through the muddy path.Honestly,this feels like this would take them deeper into the woods, but somehow she knew better than April leading us stranded out of nowhere.

A long narrow path that we took leads us to a lake, hidden from their suite and the rest of the forest.

"Babe! How did- Wait,what?" I was pretty surprised she managed to lead us here because from the hills, it was hard to find an entrance.

"I know but Blair actually told me about it."

"I hope you wore a bikini because we might need to take a dip."

"I-" Sterling paused and begins to process what to say.

"And apparently,I can say this now."

"Te gustarΓ­a nadar conmigo esta noche?" April starts to peel off her clothing and I instinctively closed my eyes and look away.

"I think when they talk about sex ed in school, they should really warn us about how to react to our girlfriends changing in front of us.Like where do my eyes go?" I looked up at the sky, trying to respectfully not look.

"Eyes down here, babe." She lowered my chin and I closed my eyes, even though I was really really tempted to look.

"Fine,it's your loss." She whispered and walks off.

I could her splashes of water as April walks into the lake.She definitely need to give me a heads up next time.

I turned around, my back facing her as I start to undress myself as well.My blue white striped bikini was definitely right for the occasion.

I got in the lake whereas April was already swimming around,I was nervous mostly.What if they was a shark or a crocodile and nobody knows about it except us? What if we got bitten and it infects us and worse comes to worse, we die from it.

"Babe,you gotta stop thinking of the worst.I checked with Blair and the guards here,it's totally fine." She pulled me closer to her, and I smiled nervously.

"You know...you look pretty good in stripes." April commented and I looked down at her green floral bikini.

"Did I ever mention that I have a hot girlfriend?" Her cheeks turn a little red and she wraps her arms on either side of my neck, looking down on the water.

I snakily grasp her waist,reeling her close.Her lips inches away and our hearts fluttered in sync as we closed the gap.

"You're mine and that's all that matters." April pulls away,smirking.

"However,I still need to do this..." She entangles herself from me,drifting a little further.

"What,what did I do wrong babe?" I was confused mostly because why is she swimming further away?

"I-" Before I could even to comprehend what her intentions were, water filled up my mouth as she started splashing water at my direction.A smirk formed on my lips, knowing well enough I wasn't going let her get away with it.

"It's on!" I challenged her and starts making ripples and continuous splashes her way.She squealed and starts swimming away, but she's not getting away that easily.

I catch up with her and grabs her by the legs from below,causing her to giggle and scream.We both lose balance as April topples over and got into the water.I followed her and we both smiled as we were underwater.I don't know how I got here,but I'm still thankful for it.

I pulled her in for a kiss, and emerged back into the surface.

A kiss underwater looks good in movies but at the same time, unrealistic.Still,I did it anyways.

"You make me feel...wild." April lets out.IΒ  couldn't ask for anything more in my life.This time,I pulled her close such that our bodies were pressed against each other and my hands brushing on her jawline.

"I know and I love you." I said.

Okay,WHAT DID I JUST SAY?
