Chapter 14

Patty immediately looked at the clock. Seeing that it was past eight o'clock, she hurried out of the cabin. She found Caleb standing across from his cabin. The man folded his arms as he met the eyebrow looking at him.

"I was about to leave you behind," he said coldly when he got close to it.

“Sorry. I don't know what I will wear, ”he said.

He was wearing a simple rashguard. She thought maybe that was more appropriate than a swimsuit. She looked at what Caleb was wearing. He was wearing a wetsuit. It is fitted to its body so its muscles are attached to it.

"Where will we go?" he asked as he walked with the man on the boardwalk.

“Azi hired an instructor for you. We will also get the equipment for scuba diving. ”

“Hmm. Okay. How much is that? ”

"Azi said it was free."

“Hala. No longer. Embarrassing! ”

"Tell that to him."

Patty nodded.

Patty let Caleb talk to the scuba gear rental. Patty did not stare at Caleb on her own. He was really handsome. It used to be very masculine. He was oozing with sexiness that despite the intimidating and cold aura he has, women’s eyes could not help but be drawn to him.

His eyes were merciless and cruel sometimes. When looking at someone, it was as if his eyes alone could pierce into your soul. But Patty did not know but despite the cold in her eyes, she seemed to see other emotions.

Was it pain?

He was just shaken. She was just making things up.

"Hey, let's go."

“My name is Patty. Not hey, not you, not hoy. Patty, okay? ” he said as he approached the man. His eyebrows rose slightly but did not budge. "Where are we going?"

Caleb did not answer because he left. She heard the slight laughter of the man with whom Caleb was walking.

"You're still supladito, Caleb," he said then turned to her. “Sir Azi talked to me to be your guide and instructor because this is your first time scuba diving. Caleb can also teach you but just to be safe, it is better for a liscensed instructor to do it first. I am Quill. ”

Patty grabbed Quill's outstretched hand. "It's just Patty."

“Okay. Here are the scuba gears needed. This one is the mask… ”

Patty listened intently to the man. He memorizes and memorizes what it teaches. He did not know why Azi was so kind to him to help him. She just told him she was an old friend of Pauline, she had no proof but Azi believed. He was so trusting she felt guilty for lying.

"Do you have a question, Miss Patty?"

He shook his head.

“We are already in Manong Junjun's boat. He will take `tin to the beginner diving spot. Caleb and I will be with you for the first time. ”

“Ah, is that so. Thank you."

Is Caleb also from here so it is well known here? Or because it's Azi's friend? She was curious but she could not ask him about it. Caleb has this wall around him that was pushing people away from him. She could not intrude. She could not cross that wall.

“There are many beautiful diving spots here in El Corazon. There is a shipwreck about an hour away by boat. Most tourists like to go scuba, that's where they go. ”

"He can't be there yet, Quill," Caleb whispered.

“Teach me, Caleb. He will definitely like that, ”Quill replied. "Wait, I'll just talk to Manong Junjun," Caleb said before walking towards them.

"Thank you again, Caleb," Patty said then simply looked at the man.

"I told you it was nothing."

"Eh, in nothing. Sungit, ”he said weakly. Caleb must have heard him because he was staring at her. Instead of being scared, he regretted it.

The man was just shaken and then the wind blew.

The salt water was hitting Patty's feet. She was so freaking excited. It was her first time in the beach.

"Shall I take off my sandals?"
