*Rowan's POV*
Due to some loud noises I couldn't really sleep, since Hariko is sleeping peacefully I just have to wait for her to wake up "At least you got some sleep.." it was around 7:30 in the morning and I was amazed by how many people are awake at this hour, at least 80% of the people in this hotel are awake and ready to relax "As always.. there's nothing good on TV, how the hell people can watch it.. just pointless drama and odd ads" oh and speaking of odd stuff.. people around these hotel really listen to music very loudly, glancing at the hibernating fox she ain't waking up any time soon...
As I was watching an show about survival and clearly learning about how stupid people can be, Hariko rolls over to me and she was pretty close to my neck, her breathing kind of tickles my neck but not enough to make me burst out laughing, she moves closer to my chest and eventually rest her head on it "Hariko.. I thought you said you don't want to sleep close.." I wrap my arm around her and smile a bit "I'm not complaining though.." her tail was wiggling a bit and I can't tell if she's awake or not.. or just happy "Why are you so warm Rowan.." "Why are you resting on my chest?" she remains silent and I chuckle "Come on, you've got enough rest time to wake up" I shake her softly and she sits up groaning "You're comfy you know that? and stop shaking me" "Tell me something I don't know" she rolls her eyes and pinches my cheek.
"So what are we gonna do today Rowan?" "Swim.. more swim.. and drown each other" "Sounds like fun" she stands up and grabbed a couple of clothes "Can we first stop and have breakfast? I'm hungry.." "No, we're going to get Larisa and Joseph and then we'll see" "Alright.. I may end up eating you~" "My gender's male Hariko, not female" she gives me a blank stare before resuming her cloth picking "You sure are weird Rowan" she heads in the bathroom and I sigh in relief "Not gonna stop with these kind of jokes am I.." I was already changed in some fresh clothes so I didn't had to get out from this comfy bed.
With a sigh I stand up and reach for my pocket for my phone "How about I ruin someone's sleep? that would be fun" I call Larisa and I think I'm gonna regret it but I don't care, I just want to have some fun "Morning Rowan, what's up?" how the hell is this woman so energetic..? "Nothing much, Hariko just woke up.. are you guys coming to have some breakfast?" "Sorry guys.. but we can't come today, Joseph's sick and I need to look after him" how the hell did he got sick? "Well, okay then.. call if you guys need anything" I hang up and noticed Hariko staring at me "Maybe you heard it, maybe not but the love birds aren't coming" I put my phone back into my pocket and Hariko sigh "Come on little fox~ I know you like being all alone by ourselves~" "Don't get your hopes too high" I wrap my arm around her and head out.
*Time skip*
Don't know how much time has passed but right now were were walking on the beach and the water wasn't really freezing, by now we have ate breakfast and holy God the hotel has almost everything you could want, after our delicious breakfast we head back to our room and got changed into our beach clothes and not gonna lie.. Hariko does look stunning in her swimsuit, those hips do not lie my friend "Do you go to the gym Rowan?" "Uh.. no? why?" I mean, I'm not in the worst shape but not good either "Oh really? well you have a pretty nice build if I say so myself~ shame no abs though..." I roll my eyes and I could see that wild grin forming on Hariko's lips.
By now we were kind of far for someone to notice her fox features and freak out so now we can finally swim and relax "Alright.. take off the backpack and hat and head straight into the water" "Jokes aside Rowan.. I'm actually scared of water.." "That's not gonna stop me you know?" I lift her up over my shoulder and she already started hitting away at my back "Hariko.. you're a fox, not a cat! foxes are not afraid of water like cats" "Come on Rowan! I'm gonna be mad at you if you do this!" I slowly step into the water and Hariko's tail puffed out "Listen Hariko, nothing's bad gonna happen while I'm here alright? if you lied about that you know to swim don't worry, I will teach ya" the moment her body touched the water the moment she almost instantly frowned "I don't think the water is too deep in here so.. here we go" I release her into the water and luckily the water wasn't deep enough for her.
"R-Rowan.. you sure nothing's gonna go wrong..?" "Trust me Hariko, you're in safe hands" she attempts to float on her back only for her to sink like a rock, making me feel a thousand emotions at once "H-Hariko!" I quickly tried to reach for her but suddenly she emerges from the water right into my arms, laughing out loudly as her persona emits pure mischief "You really are kind huh? I was just faking the fear~ but I'm glad I can count on you in situations like this Rowan~" she leans closer to me and wraps her arms around my neck "Let's see how tough you are" she suddenly wraps her legs around my waist and pulls me with her under the water, that literally took me off guard and I panicked, I tried to fight off her grip but she was oddly too strong...
*Time skip*
"I swear Hariko.. never gonna swim with you again, you almost drowned me a couple of times!" "Well.. I would've missed you if I did, and I clearly made sure that you're not gonna drown" by now we were sitting on the sand with our feet buried in the warm sand, I think this really made Hariko very happy "Are we gonna go for a swim later?" she asks, tilting her head "You bet, after all I want to mess with you some more" she rests her head on my shoulder and giggles "We'll see about that Rowan" I can say that she grew more attached to me than she used to be, my phone buzzed and it totally ruined to moment "Who's calling?" "Larisa" I answer the phone and got up, I grab Hariko's hand and pulled her up "What's up Lass? Is Joseph dying and needs medicine?" "Rowan this is serious! and Joseph is fine, but someone is looking for Hariko" I couldn't help but frown "Whom?" "I don't know Rowan, just get back at the hotel" without letting me replying she hangs up, making me sigh in annoyance. I stand up as I hold my hand out for Hariko "C'mon fox lady, someone apparently wants to talk to ya".
