I had a very small smile on my lips but a brighter blush on my cheeks. If it wasn't for the mud, he could easily see it.

He is trying to race my heart until it explodes.

Evil Cacao!

"Oh but I did not say I was shy to show you my not-so-good appearance." I teased, trying to control the heat energy producing between us.

"I know that when I saw you confident enough to show that pimple on your chin." He nodded understandingly.

Pimple? Where?

Oh no!

I immediately touched my chin trying to accidently cover it with mud. Cacao laughed at me and gave me a teasing crooked smile. "Sure." And kissed me on lips.

Just like that, we teased back and forth for the next three hours, all the while he taught me how to use the spade and look for seafood.

We finally collected two baskets of seafood with majority of clams and big sized shrimps and some fishes and crabs.

Cacao sent them to one of the kitchen employees and asked her to prepare snacks with them for club night while I went to shower again before going to the club.

Music, drinks and seafood; I'm excited for this special family club night.

I want to know how this club operates only for family, suitable for all ages. I heard even kids are allowed here.

"Where have you been?" Just I came out of my room, Ilaria walked to me and asked. She has just returned from spending relaxing time on seashore with others.

"On a date." I said with a wink.

"With Cacao?"

"Of course!"

"Wow! It seems you are finally having a go with him. Great. I'm happy for you. If only Devon is not so hard to approach." She said the last line with a sad sigh.

I can understand. Unlike Cacao who is very easy to approach, that intelligence government officer is hart nut to crack.

However, I did see a small spark of something good in Devon's eyes a few times. It happened rarely, but I did notice it.

"Fortunately, unlike me, you are pretty active with an infinite will power in chasing him. You know, I've never seen you so obsessed over something or someone like this until now. Hell, even this side of yours is new to me." I giggled a little giving her a pat on her shoulder.

"I know. I'm planning to waste no amount of effort or time here to create a little more place for myself in his heart. With Sir Cacao's advices, I'm sure I will have Devon one day." Ilaria had few boyfriends before but she was never this serious or in blindly love with them.

"Almonds are surely fruits but not dry at all." I and Ilaria said together in a low whisper.

Soon Frazer Almond announced that the club is ready for the night and we are welcome to enjoy. We were led to the club and the moment we walked inside, I have my mouth hung low. When I looked at Ilaria beside me, even she has her mouth wide open.

Heck, even Zorion is gaping at the place we are currently standing in.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" A familiar and a lovely voice whispered in my ear from behind. I glanced back at Cacao and nodded with a smile.

Beautiful indeed but also – different.

The club stood overseeing the sea through the glass walls. It's a big place to be honest, with several tables, large dance floor, a bar with all kinds of drinks – both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. On the other side of it is a gambling place with several tables and games.

But this is not what made this different from other clubs. It's the décor and the feel of the club.

The whole club is in folk themed. The cloth decoration over the walls along with the painting and art looked so old-ish but good. Wind chimes made of sea shells and wooden pieces hung around creating a mesmerizing feel.

Even the dining tables and chairs are in folklore style. It's so colorful but not tackily so. In the DJ area, even the music system and headphones gave a woodsy appearance.

Now I understand why we are wearing long flowy dresses.

"Good evening little ones, ladies, gentlemen and some not so gentle brooding men!" Frazer hollered gaining claps, whistles and hoots from everyone.

"The evening is still young, let's forget every bad memory, every tension and any negativity out of the door and enjoy the evening until we lost our minds." Again, Frazer gained grand reaction from everyone.

"The drinks will be served shortly, the first song to the start the evening will be played now. Those who think they have moves, move. Those who have no moves, move. Everyone the dance flooooorrrrr!"

With that said, before the music was on, Cacao held my hand and dragged me to the dance floor just like every couple did.

"The first song is for our Cacao and Anete, whishing them a great courting time and a happy future together!" And the music was on.

Acaricia mi ensueño

El suave murmullo de tu suspirar ~~~

Uh?

Before I could guess what song it is, Cacao pulled me into his arms and started to dance just like every other person on the dance floor.

Cómo ríe la vida

Si tus ojos negros me quieren mirar

Y si es mío el amparo

De tu risa leve

Que es como un cantar

Ella quieta mi herida

Todo, todo se olvida ~~~

A folk song?
