Book:His Burning Obsession Published:2024-8-26

“Rise and shine!!!” A loud shrilling voice squealed out making me wake up frightened like I had the most terrifying nightmare in my entire life and to be almost blinded from the rays of the sun as I shut my eyes immediately putting my palms on my face.
“Hope you slept well, sleeping beauty?” Leticia asked in her short pajamas as I glared at her for disturbing my sleep.
“Yeah, I did,” I said sarcastically getting down from the bed till my feet touched the cold tiled floor.
“So, what are we up to this morning?” I asked her walking over to the window to see the beautiful beach view.
“I don’t know either,” She said as she slumped on the bed.
“Good morning students,” A Sudden voice said making me jolt staring around the room but didn’t see anyone except for Leticia who also has a puzzled look on her face.
“This is Mr. Kent speaking,”
Mr. Kent? He isn’t in this room till my gaze caught the little decoder on the chest draw which was beside our bed.
“Oh silly me, it’s an intercom!” I chuckled staring at the small black item while Leticia laughed on the bed.
“You all are to get ready by 9:00 a. m, we will be having Kayaking today, so get prepared, see you all till then,” He continued while I cringed at the thought of having Kayaking.
I didn’t know the meaning when he said that kayak of a thing in class and had to Google search only to realize it was almost like canoeing just that the paddler sits facing forward with his or her legs positioned to the front in canoe-like boats using a double-bladed paddle to pull front-to-back on one side then the other in rotation.
I myself, I’m a scholar. Just that I would be scared doing it since I’m a first-timer, I’m so scared of large waters.
“Kayaking, that sounds weird, what is it about?” Leticia asked amused.
“Uhm! It’s similar to canoeing,” I replied leaning my back on the large glass.
“That would be fun–”
A knock interrupted whatever exciting Leticia was about to say as I strode off to the door and opened it only to be greeted with a mouthwatering aroma.
“Good morning,” A young lady in black and white clothing greeted but her accent was much more different from ours more like french.
“Morning,” I replied my gaze fixed on the covered tray in her hand.
“I’m here to serve you your breakfast, belle,” She smiled warmly as I collected the food tray from her.
“Thank you,” I appreciated with a soft smile as I turned closing the door behind me.
“Who was that?” Leticia asked manipulating the remote control in her hand.
“The food server,” I said showing her the covered food tray, with no further explanation needed as she kneeled walk on the bed.
“Wow! Do they offer free food here?” Leticia beamed happily as I placed the food tray on the bed.
“I don’t know,” I said with a shrug not like I would be coming back here, maybe when I or my family has more than enough money to meet up with our needs. But I would like to spend the next vacation here with mum and Lillian.
Leticia removed the cover of the dishes and our mouths watered immediately.
There were large shrimps, rotisserie chicken, Kebabs, green salad, pita pocket, and two strawberry smoothies.
“Wow!” Leticia grinned as she picked a Kebab skewer and drive it into her mouth as I watched her chew it gratifying.
“Hmmm! This is great! You should try some,” She said giving me a skewer of Kebab as I bite off the content on the skewer as I hummed savoring the delicious taste.
We ate the breakfast on time when we noticed we were running out of time and we will soon be on the beach.
LUCAS POV.

Everyone was out on the beach and my eyes skimmed around for her.
I needed to see her, I had to be in self-control yesterday when I saved her from falling when she tripped from the bus.
I would have kissed her if not for the crazy-headed Jenny who interrupted us.
My feet brushed softly against the white sand as the morning sun glowed on my skin.
I was putting on short jeans and a moisture-wicken top that would be suitable for kayaking.
I could see some of the girls in bikinis as they flaunted their body but none of them has the perfect and damn body shape just like Camilla.
I was getting impatient to see her, I wanted to know if she might be in a bikini, how she would look like but on the second note, I didn’t want her to wear a bikini that would get most of the guy’s attention.
“Where the hell is she?” I muttered scrutinizing everyone present on the beach.
I kept on walking as Mr. Kent diverted our attention with a microphone, I could see the doubled canoe-like boats that would be suitable for two people.
“Hey, baby!” An annoying voice greeted and it was Jenny.
She has been nothing but a pest clinging to my life ever since I gave her a chance.
I turned around with a bored look as she was in a black bikini that showed off her slim features as she let her caramel hair fall loose as the air blew her hair.
“What is it? Are you looking for someone?” She asked with a pout while I made a scowl on my face.
“No,” I replied curtly brushing past her through the gathered teens.
My gaze caught a short lady in my front well just the same height as Camilla, she was also wearing a pair of shorts and shirt as the air blew her hair.
I knew she was the one, it was Camilla. I glanced at the red hair person she was talking with and realized it was Leticia. I was surprised at first the two of them got along quite well.
She turned around briefly and our eyes met making my body shuddered uncontrollably.
Only her makes me feels this way even without her touching me, I could feel the Sparks light in my body before she glanced away quickly.
I wasn’t even listening to what Mr. Kent saying as my thoughts focused on her entirely.
I wanted her so badly and it was surprising that I haven’t taken her yet, I had hated her so much all these years and I wanted it to be that way but I realized there was something more to that hate I was having for her.
“I’ll be dividing you into twos, male and female, now form a line,” Mr. Kent said and I could see the rest of my mates lining on a single line, boys separate and girls separate.
“Hey, dude! C’mon,” Someone patted my back and I knew it was Ben as he pushed me to where the boys lined up.
Mr. Kent started choosing partners as I saw Jenny stay beside me while I stared at her confused.
“Baby, be my partner,” She cooed holding my hands while I rolled my eyes at her.
“I guess you heard Mr. Kent saying he would choose partners,” I said dryly as a look of hurt flashed through her face.
“I don’t care!” She said stubbornly not leaving my side until I saw Damien walking over to Camilla with a sly look on his face.
I fisted my hands trying to control myself, Camilla moved back a little away from him.
What the hell?
Why would Mr. Kent pair him up with what’s mine?
I could feel my inner man growl in anger and I lost my cool entirely when he grabbed her wrist winking at Camilla.
I heard Jenny call my name but what’s in mind right now was to murder that traitor.
Damien, you’re surely going to die…
She’s fucking mine!
