The Playboy’s Downfall novel Chapter 68

ISLA

In the afternoon, after lunch, we decided to have some leisure time on their rooftop. The view from their rooftops was captivating which makes me take a nap for about two hours. When I woke up, I almost held my breath since I saw Zero’s face right in front of mine. It seems like he’s staring at me, trying to memorize every angle of my face—well, that’s only my hunch.

Since there’s a pool on their rooftop, I decided to swim. “Don’t let someone enter here,” I uttered as I started to take off my dress.

Zero frowned as he looked into my eyes. “Why?” he asked, seemingly pretending that he doesn’t know.

I let out a sarcastic laugh. “Don’t act as if you don’t know it,” I asserted and successfully removed my clothes. Now, I am naked in front of him.

I crossed my arms in front of my naked body. “What are you doing?” I asked because he was just staring at me.

Zero arched his brow. “Staring?” he replied, a little bit sarcastic.

I rolled my eyes. “Yeah, whatever, why don’t you just swim with me, huh?”

Zero shook his head. “I need to watch the perimeter. You know, my girlfriend will swim, naked,” he uttered, emphasizing the word girlfriend.

I let out a soft chuckle and turn my back away. I slightly jump into the water and soaked my naked body in it. The temperature is just right for my body. I started to take a swim back and forth until I stopped and looked at him.

Zero was just intently looking at me. I smiled at him which makes him sit properly and gave the smile back to me.

Suddenly, my thoughts wander.

At a certain point in time, many of us will understand that feeling… where your heart thumps when you see your partner arrive or by just watching them from afar, and it seems like the time you spend around each other takes you on edge of the world. Being in love is a component of life that many people desire to experience. And this developing attachment leads to the development of mature love. We are more likely to have strong sentiments for someone we care about if we have a deep-rooted relationship with them than intense passion or infatuation with them, no matter who it is.
