Chapter 87: Chapter 87

Winter's POV

"I didn't know it would be so boring here. I shouldn't have gone with you. It would be more fun to stay at home and play with Elisse than acting like a fool here in front of people who are also pretending to be someone else." I said while pouting at Ian.

We've been on the cruise ship now for four hours and we did nothing but talk to some random entrepreneur. Also, most of them were celebrities who were just too curious about how I am doing now and wanted to check if I was already regretting my choice. There were also some perverted old men who tried to hit on me, but I immediately pushed them away from me. I don't even know where they get the confidence to approach a younger woman.

"Hey, don't say that. Anyway, if you want to have fun, then how about doing what the main leads of titanic did? Let's stand in the railings!"

I glared at him. "Are you going out of your mind? I will never do that. I won't risk my dignity just to do that silly thing."

"And why not? Many couples do that." Ian said like a kid who was pouting.

"I don't want to look stupid."

"Fine. Then what do you want us to do for you not to get bored, huh?"

I thought for a while, then I faced him again. "How about ruining everyone's night? Let's run around this ship and pour everyone some juice on their dress!"

"Do you want us to get kicked from this event? The security might even catch us and the owner of this ship might not invite us again."

"Well, do you still want to go to this kind of boring dinner?"

Ian shrugged. "Actually, I won't accept any invitation from them anymore. Fine. So, what are you waiting for? Let's ruin everyone's night!"

I smiled at him, then at the count of three, we grabbed glasses of wine and began running over the crowd. All of them got surprised when we started pouring the wine on their dresses, but we acted as if we didn't intend to. Also, we even trash-talked some people who were talking shit about us a while ago.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do it!"

"I'm sorry!"

Most of the people we insulted were the ones who were obviously talking bad things about us a while ago. We just ran and ran around the ship, ruining people's nights until we got tired already. A fat man even tried to chase after us, but we were able to run much faster than him when he got tired.

"I thought he would be able to catch us!" Ian said while trying to catch his breath.

I laughed so loud as if there was no tomorrow. "That fat man got so mad that his face looked as if it was burning! He obviously got insulted by what I told him!"

"Of course, he would! Who wouldn't get mad when someone tells you that you look like a walking pig?!" Ian said while laughing so hard.

"That was so fun. Now I feel so tired."

"You never really changed, Winter. You're still that girl who loves to piss off everyone. You don't care if your image gets ruined."

I winked at him. "Well, that's also the reason you liked me, right? The reason why you were head over heels for me."

"You over-confident woman," he said as he pinched both of my cheeks.

"Ouch! That hurts! By the way, let's go to the deck of this ship. I want to have some fresh air."

"Alright, alright your highness."

Ian guided me as we continue walking. It was already night, so no one would be able to notice us even if we go there, even those people we insulted.

"You know what? I'm actually thinking about not accepting new projects."

I glanced at him. "What are you saying? And why wouldn't you accept new projects? You know you can lose your popularity if you do that."

"I just don't feel like doing projects right now. Also, I think I want to focus on my restaurant first."

"Are you getting tired of working as an actor already?"

"I am. I'm at the point in my life where I just want to live in peace, not be bothered by paparazzi who only want to ruin my life."

I nodded my head. "You're already getting old, Ian. That's the sign of it."

"H-Hey! What did you say?! I'm getting what?! Isn't it also the one that you want? That's why you no longer want to go back to being a celebrity?!"

"But I'm not as old as you!"

"You! Run for your life before I kill you!"

With that, I started running away while Ian kept on chasing after me. We were yelling while running as if we were kids.

Well, I guess this night isn't that boring at all.

"You can't even catch me! You really are an old man!" I shouted as I was about to finally reach the deck. But as I raised my head and looked forward, I saw two people standing there. They were talking to each other.

"Matthew?" I mumbled while staring at them.

I can't be mistaken. He was with Belle. I wasn't that close enough to hear their conversation, so I just stood there while waiting for Matthew to finally notice me.

All of a sudden, Belle cupped Matthew's face.

What the hell are they doing?

"Gotcha!" Ian yelled as he stood behind me.

Later on, I just saw her moving her face close to him and I think I know what would happen next. I could feel tears filling my eyes as I was looking at them. But as their lips were just an inch away from each other, the palm of Ian covered my sight, causing me to be unable to see what was going to happen next.
