Chapter 22 - Chapter 21: Waterfall (2)

Rami and the others find their way into the waterfall. They walked leisurely while carrying their own bags with their packed food baskets. 

When they reach the waterfall, they immediately walk into the cottage that they ordered their men to fix and clean prior. The Cottage is made out of nipa leaves and bamboo with two floors. You can see grillers standing on the right side. Whereas there are sinks and a washing area on the right side.

Upon reaching, they secured their bags on the second floor. After that, they immediately placed the food they brought in the sink and washing area. Also, the women started to arrange the fruits and other miscellaneous things they needed such as plates, spoons, forks, glasses and others. 

They handled everything themselves, shooing away the butlers and their men because they wanted to experience the true joy and essence of an outing in the wild—from preparing and cooking, to afterward enjoying the cool, clear water beside them. It was lovely and enjoyable.

Garrete, Elijah, Onyx, and Mykell were grilling the meats and fresh seafood their men had bought earlier. Avery and, surprisingly, Amethyst sliced the fruits and asked Rami to plate them. Meanwhile, Ryuzaki and Luca simply sat around and wandered aimlessly, pestering the others. They acted like mascots—joking around and being naughty.

On the other hand, Dark is already enjoying the waterfall. Swimming and diving there. Sometimes, he goes into the top of the waterfall and jumps from it. Making Rami's heart leap out because of nervousness when he catches the sight of Dark jumping from the above. 

Of course, Rami was also distracted since Dark is so sexy on his swimming trunks. Oh!! That visible eight packs of abs, muscular lean body and that perfect mermaid line!! 

He kept sneaking glances at the waterfall, and thankfully he wasn't holding anything sharp objects, or he would've ended up with several cuts by now. Fortunately, the others didn't notice what he was doing.

All in all, the scene was so serene that Rami would like it to last longer. He can't stop himself and take away his stare towards the stunning man.

To forcefully distract himself from the tempting view—since the cottage's entrance faced the waterfall—Rami headed to the grilling area where the rest of the boys were. As soon as he arrived, the aroma of the grilling meat made him even hungrier. It smelled so good that he couldn't resist taking a bite. 

Well, for the reason that he can't wait any longer for all of it to be cooked, to satiate his appetite for a bit, he decided to take a bite sneakily.

Rami glanced around for a while to make sure that they were not looking at him. Then, moving quietly, he walked over to the table where the cooked meat and seafood were placed quietly. 

All the way, he keeps on glancing at the boys occasionally, checking if they notice his act.

Fortunately, they didn't notice him—they were too absorbed in laughing and grilling the rest of the uncooked food. Attracted by the cheerful atmosphere, Avery and Amethyst joined them soon after.

Upon reaching his target, he immediately picked a piece of grilled meat and put it on his mouth. Chewing and savoring the taste. He smiled with satisfaction.

'Thankfully, I marinated it overnight so the flavor is so rich!!' Rami thought joyfully.

He kept sneaking pieces of meat and occasionally some seafood, stuffing them into his mouth until his cheeks bulged slightly. He is completely unaware that someone had noticed and was still watching him, amusement clear in their eyes and a small smile on their lips.

So engrossed in eating there and satisfying his little tummy, Rami forgot the others which already noticed him. 

The others stopped what they were doing and just stood there from the grilled stand. Laughing amusingly towards the sneaky chipmunk that named Rami at the side. 

After waiting there for a while for Rami to notice that he was already busted, unfortunately he didn't find out. That's why they decided to startle the thief.

Garrette takes that role. 

He sneaks to Rami. When he was near him, he raised his two arms and spread them to his booth side. Getting nearing more, he hugged him from behind, "Got you little thief!!" 

Rami screamed startled.

However, Rami suddenly jerked his head backward, hitting Garrette squarely on the forehead. Garrette's grip loosened from the dizziness, and Rami seized the chance—he grabbed Garrette's left hand, pulled him over his shoulder, and slammed him to the ground hard, like throwing a sandbag. Garrette groaned in pain.

"OH MY GOSH GARRETTE!!! I'M SO SORRYYY!!" Rami exclaimed.

"GARRETTE!!!" shouted by the others.

Meanwhile, Dark—who had been watching Rami from the moment he sneaked food, to Garrette catching him, to Rami flipping him in defense—immediately swam to the shore. He pulled himself out of the water and walked toward them slowly.

His gaze was fixed on Rami, watching him like a predator.
