55 Chapter 55: Ism not gonna wear tha (2/2)

Laurice was exasperated.

It really isn't matter of liking or not liking. Everything was just way too expensive. She would never ever spend five hundred dollars for a small dress that she would seldom wear. And she have never ever dared to wear such skimpy swimsuit on the beach. It was either a full-coverage bodysuit or a modest shirt paired with a swimskort.

But she absolutely loves to swim and she can already picture herself floating in the waters.

Laurice was torn between love and hate.

She sighed heavily and glanced at the little one and said in resignation, ”No, that's not it. I like them sweetie.”

Suddenly a deep voice echoed from behind her, ”Then you're wearing them, i believe?”

Laurice froze. She inhaled sharply before turning to look at the culprit of her misery.

”You!” She uttered. Laurice was momentarily dazed by the man's handsome features. His aesthetics were truly dashing and breathtaking.

Sid was wearing a pair of belted athletic shorts and plain shortsleeved button-down polo shirt clad with a penny boat loafers on his feet. He looked pretty laid-back and leisurely compared to his usual business casual attire.

Sid smirked and said to her, ”Like what you see?”

Laurice knocked herself out from her own musing and glared at the brazen man.

”You! Let's talk.” Laurice said firmly and stride towards the room. She can't just scold him in anyone else's presence. Especially not with Little Louie around.

Sid find it amusing to see the woman's annoyed expression and willingly followed behind her. He shut the door close and was welcomed by the woman with her arms crossed in her chest, shooting deathly glares at him.

Laurice clutched the paperbags on her hands and threw one on bed.

”I'm not gonna wear that.” She gritted her teeth and muttered.

Swimming he said?

Then, he should go swim by himself.

She'd rather go home than expose and humiliate herself.

”You said you like them. You said you're swimming with Louie. Are you going back on your words now? He'll be disappointed.” Sid countered.

What is this, a guilt trap?

Laurice cleared her throat and replied hesitantly, ”Fine. But i want a decent bodysuit.”

Sid looked at her helplessly and sighed. He feigned ignorance as if he wasn't aware of what she was worrying about at the moment.

”Is it not decent enough?” Sid said directly. ”Go and take a bath already. Don't fret over trivial stuffs. We're going for a stroll when you're ready. And we're heading over a private swimming area afterwards anyway. It might only be just the three of us around if we're lucky. So stop worrying alright?” The man continued trying to convince her with all his might. He already said too much, surely the woman won't give him a difficult time, right?

Laurice looked at him suspiciously at first before heaving a sigh. She took some of the bags and bolted right across the bathroom in heavy footsteps without looking back and uttering another word.

What's the point of arguing with the man anyway?

He will never give in.

And who cares about that damn skimpy swimwear!

She's going to swim to her heart's content today.

Whatever the consequences maybe.

...

Laurice couldn't have ever guessed the dire consequences awaiting for her later during the day.
