The Grand Mistress

When Hawk went out of his room, Feather welcomed him with a sweet smile as if she had not cried tears last night. She was sitting on the table near the balcony, food was already served and the aroma of freshly cooked morning soup caught Hawk's nostrils.

"I had already ordered some breakfast," Feather said, inviting him to sit with her. Hawk's excitement was suddenly put to halt as the sight of his fiancée pushed some guilt in his heart. While he spent the night with another woman, Feather was on the other room, sleeping by herself, alone and cold. And yet, here she was, early morning, preparing something to fill his stomach. Without a word, Hawk accepted her invitation and so he sat beside her.

"Here drink this soup," Feather gave her a bowl filled with the soup. "This will help your exhaustion and hangover,"

It was an innocent comment on Feather's part but it definitely got into Hawk's nerves. Did she know he slept late last night?

Sensing his discomfort and her mistake, Feather cleared it up, "I know you've been up late because of work. You had worked all night right? I'm really sorry how this vacation was very inconvenient to your work,"

"It's okay," Hawk answered, full of guilt. Feather had always been considerate with him and his work. It's such a shame that he went and go on cheating at her back. Truth was even then, Hawk Monsanto couldn't understand himself. He clearly loves Feather and yet he couldn't control himself. It was like there was this invisible string that always bring him back to where his mystery woman was if they were destined to meet, the reason then was unknown but he knew it was either to break him or to make him better.

Seeing how Feather had been giving him thorough care during their meal, Hawk instead was reminded that he was there on that vacation to take care of her and not the other way around. And so, during breakfast, he gallantly served her all the food just like how she was doing with her. 

Feather faked a smile at Hawk Monsanto's gallantry—he became so sensitive to her then and was making sure she eats the right food she needed. He was almost pushing all food to her mouth, encouraging her to eat further so she'll be fully nourished. However, despite all his efforts, Feather couldn't be fully happy knowing he was all doing this because he was feeling guilty. Guilty of spending the night virtually with another woman instead of warming her own bed.

"You should eat more," Hawk encouraged his fiancée further, almost feeding the food to her mouth.

"I'm already good," Feather slightly refused then picked up a napkin to wipe her mouth. "I want to go to the beach today. The weather is really good,"

"Alright. We shall head there right after breakfast," Hawk promised.

"Well since I'm done. I should go and prepare," Feather answered delightedly and with Hawk's permission, she left the table and head into her room. She grab her most expensive bikini, a yellow one and she put it on, ready for another round of her plans to seduce the great Hawk Monsanto. She also put on some accessories, some expensive bangles on her arms and a hat that matched well with the bikini she choose. Satisfied with how she looked, she went out the room and found Hawk, wearing another shade of the same kind of shorts he wore the night before and a white shirt.

"You are not going to take a swim?" Feather was upset to see him in that clothing. She wanted to execute her plans while they were taking a swim, away from the crowd that must have flocked the beach outside.

"Depends," Hawk answered casually fixing an eye on her. He looked at her in a complicated way that Feather end up imagining many good things under his rigid stares. After like ten seconds, Hawk told her "You should have something to cover your swimsuit. It's very hot outside,"

"Okay," Feather's expectations fall short right in an instant. She somehow thought wearing such a sexy bikini in front of him would entice him to delay their beach plans and spend the day rather on bed with her. Reluctantly, Feather went back to her room and grabs something to cover her bikini.

Soon, Feather and Hawk were already lounging somewhere near the sea side. There were few guests at the resort but not too many to ruin such a peaceful ambiance. The view of the sea in front of them was glorious and it shone under the ray of sunshine like it was full of mini diamonds that gives it occasional glitters. 

Feather then was waiting the right timing to get her plans into action while the oblivious Hawk took some nap. He had slept really late last night and so his body demanded it. 

Feather tried to get her fiancées attention by sprawling into the lounger seductively but Hawk's sleepy head got into him that he was not able to give her even a little of his attention.

After thirty minutes, Feather got tired of it and so she sat on her lounger noisily, making sure the sound she intentionally did woke Hawk up. He did so and he immediately turned his head to her side. 

"What is it?" Hawk asked, still in daze.

"Oh I'm sorry if I woke you up," Feather acted innocent. "I was just trying to put some lotion but it seemed that I needed some help. I can't reach my back,"

Hawk didn't give any affirmation to her request but he did took the bottle of lotion and went to sit on Feather's lounger. With an inward chuckle, Feather turned to her stomach; making sure Hawk he had all the access to her smooth back. Hawk then started his routine by putting some lotion in his big palm and started applying to his fiancée's back. Her skin turned a bit dark already from sunbathing and Hawk made sure he had applied the lotion carefully so Feather's skin would not be damaged further.

When Hawk was done with her back, Feather turned, now facing her fiancée with the intention of letting him do the same thing on her front. Feather took all of her hair that tangled up on her chest to make sure there was nothing blocking it from Hawk's gaze. It was also her way to tell him to start applying the lotion near her chest where her two mounds was flaunting covered tightly by the bikini top she was then wearing. 

Hawk didn't mind such audacity from the girl as he thinks nothing then but to finish the job of applying the lotion on the girl's skin. Feather did expect that he would find her mounds very alluring and would be enticed to touch it, paving a way for her ultimate seduction goals but even before she could get to the first stage of her illusion, a cold liquid from nowhere suddenly was spilled into her.

"Ahhhhhhh!" Feather shrieked as the cold liquid tinged into her skin. She got up immediately, wiping herself off from whatever was poured down on her. Her pretty bikini was ruined.

"Omigod!" Someone beside the Han's heiress screamed apologetically. Then in just a moment, Feather heard some apologies, as if it all could change what just happened. "I'm really sorry Miss, I didn't intend to disturb you  more so ruin you beautiful bikini. Please accept my apologies,"

It turns out, a careless woman who was then holding two refreshments stumbled by her side, causing the refreshments to fall into Feather's chest.

"I'm sorry?" Feather's eyes grew large in anger but when she saw Hawk at the corner of her eyes, her anger fled and what were left were a fake considerate smile and a low tone, very different from her usual tantrums tone. She just looked down at her dress, upset, as she had carefully chosen that bikini for that moment only to be ruined a careless stranger. Not wanting to burst out in front of Hawk, she excused herself immediately. "I'll just go and change," 

Feather didn't wait for Hawk's response anymore because she was ashamed of how she looked then. Her bikini had been ruined for good and her skin was covered with slimy pinkish gelatin from the careless girl's refreshment. She walked away from where Hawk was hastily, with plans to get into another sexy swimsuit to capture Hawk Monsanto's attention but suddenly, she remembered something and so she paused and idled for few minutes before she looked back where Hawk was. And as her instincts got him, her fiancée whom she just left few minutes ago was no longer in the spot where she left him.

"Where is Hawk?" Feather's eyebrows creased at the thought. She went away easily as she was very worried she might look like a undesirable because of her ruined dress only to find out this was all a scheme. Feather inspected the places that her eyes could reach but was already too late. Hawk had gone and just like the woman he had been eyeing on these days, it was a mystery where he went.
