The afternoon sun was high, and the island breeze felt warm against our skin as we packed the last of our things. The yacht awaited, gleaming in the golden light. Slowly, one by one, we boarded, laughter and teasing filling the air.
I settled into my seat beside Jayjay , her hand brushing against mine. "You're quiet," I teased, nudging her shoulder gently.
She laughed, elbowing me softly. "I'm just enjoying the view… and your company."
We spent the ride teasing, joking, and stealing glances at each other, the sound of the waves and the warm sun creating the perfect moment. Every so often, our fingers intertwined, lingering touches that made my heart race.
Finally, we approached near Angelo's house. I glanced at jayjay , a small smile tugging at my lips. "This is your stop," I said softly.
She looked up at me, eyes sparkling. "Already?" she murmured, though she didn't move to get down yet.
I leaned closer, brushing a strand of hair from her face. "Stay a little longer," I whispered. And that was all the encouragement she needed. Our lips met softly, tenderly at first, then deeper as the minutes passed.
Every kiss was slow, sweet, and full of unspoken words. My hands cupped her face, pulling her closer, and she responded with equal warmth, her fingers tracing the edges of my shoulders. The world around us—the sun—seemed to disappear.
"Okay… maybe we should be nice," she said breathlessly, laughing softly against my lips. We pulled back, foreheads resting together, smiles wide and hearts pounding.
A sudden knock interrupted us.
"Hey! What the heck?!" Jayjay brother shouted, peering through the door. "You guys… you just arrives ? And you're just… kissing.and do whatever in the car?!"
Jayjay laughed, rolling her eyes at him. "Shut up, Percy!" she teased, still catching her breath from our kisses.
I finally helped her with the door, holding her hand just a moment longer than necessary. She grinned, teasing me back, before stepping inside the house.

Auntie Gemma was waiting, her arms wide as she enveloped JJ in a warm hug. "Jayjay ! I missed you so much! It's good to have you back," she said, squeezing tightly.
aries rushed over next, smiling brightly. "Jayjay Welcome back! but that was a short one can u go back I want peace"
Angelo appeared, too, smiling warmly. "Good to see you "
JJ waved to them all, laughing softly, then headed up to her room. She took a long, refreshing shower, letting the water wash away the salty island breeze.
Later, she sat on her bed, phone in hand, scrolling through messages from the group chat. Ci-N, Yuri, and the others had all messaged to ask if everyone had reached home safely, sharing little jokes and teasing about the island trip. Jayjay smiled, typing a quick reply, then set the phone down, exhausted but happy.
Before she knew it, sleep crept in, and she drifted off, phone still resting in her hand. Home felt good. Safe. And full of warmth.
