Chapter 181 - Strip it (1/2)

Deep breaths.

Deep breaths.

I glanced over at the different varieties of birds roaming the ocean blue Hawaiian sky as chirping melodies echoed in the four corners of the lone island. Crystal clear turquoise lagoon surrounded by towering cliffs while colorful corals and different species of fishes swam about, playing hide and seek.

I stole a peek at the man beside me. His excitement and anticipation were rubbing on me –– if not for my cowardly nature of jumping over five feet heights!

This scene is waaay too familiar!

I turned and escape, but Cain grabbed my hand and pulled me with him as he jumped from the cliff.

SPLASH!

As soon as I regained my momentum, I swam up, but the water was pulling me all the way down, wanting me to explore its depth. I was anxious when it felt like an eternity that my body was being dragged down.

It's deep!

When the water finally released its hold on me, I hurriedly swam for air.

*pant . . .

*pant . . .

Arf! Arf!

Little Pluffy's anxious barks drew my attention to him as the little guy swam towards me.

Where's Cain?

I swept my gaze, suppressing the creeping panic when I couldn't find Cain anywhere.
