"Little?", her eyes widened in disbelief. "She isn't little uncle Luke!" 

"And just like that, from mister, I became an uncle!" he said rolling his eyes exaggeratedly, which threw Lucille into fits of giggles. 

"Can't I?" she asked, pouting.

"Oh, no, darling. You can call me uncle anytime." 

"Yey! Uncle Luke, do you like water sports?" she held his gaze like she wanted to catch his whole reaction to her question. 

"Water sports? I do like water sports. What kind of water sports are we talking about?" he stole a glance at Jess who escaped to the kitchen, while he was answering Lucille's non-stop questions. 

She stood up from the couch and started gesturing about the sports she wanted to try. 

"There is this big tube then you huddled all together inside, and this tube was tied at the back of a speedboat, which will pull the tube very very fast!" her hands were all over the place while she was describing the sports she was talking about. "The speedboat will pull the tube in such force that it bounced on water." she giggled, "Papa is scared of it!" 

He was mesmerized by how Lucille animatedly talked about everything and anything that comes to her mind. She made them, the four adults in the room gawked at her like she was discussing an important matter that involved government espionage, and the world economy, sprinkled with some latest scandal in the entertainment industry. 

The way she told her story was full-on dead serious with comedy thrown in the side. She's a natural when it comes to people. She has a commanding personality like her father, but her natural characteristic of being playful shines through. 

She was so entertaining that they let her tell all of her stories without interruption and Jess had a glimpse of what did Noah do while they were in Berlin for Little Lucille didn't leave out anything when she told uncle Luke her adventure with her great-grandfather's dogs and grandfather's horses were she was told that she was the best in brushing horse mane. 

Watching Lucille from the kitchen, Jess wondered how Noah was as a kid. Is he as adorable as his daughter? 

Meanwhile, in the other villa, Noah and Antonio were buried in documents for the business transaction of the newly acquired company in Dubai pushed through earlier than expected. Their investors were so impressed with how Markus handled the acquisition that they wanted to hasten everything.

The phone kept on ringing and the fax machine in his bedroom that Antonio turned into a makeshift office, never stopped printing documents that had to be signed. 

Noah had to ask Soraya and Jin to entertain Lucille so he and Antonio could work in peace. He felt guilty but it was something unavoidable. 

They were on the last documents that had to be signed. Antonio was just going over it one more time before he signed them when he received a call from Stefan. 

"Heyyyy, why didn't you inform me that you and Lucille are doing Cabo?" he was whiny as usual. "My yacht is just at the marina. Until when will you stay there?" 

Hearing Stefan talk about the marina, he remembered the photo of an empty street going to a marina where Stefan's yacht was docked posted on Jess IG. With that in mind, Noah found himself lying to his younger cousin. 

"We'll be returning the day after tomorrow. There is no reason for you to meet Lucille here on the island. Just visit her in my apartment once we are back." 

He doesn't want Stefan to be here on the island when Jess is here. He knew that after this vacation, it would be difficult for him to spend time with Jess. She will be busy with her internship and he will be busy with the preparation of the company turnover. 

Not to mention that their relationship until now was something they never talk about what and where they are in their relationship because he could feel Jess recoiling every time he tried to push things. And the last thing he wanted was Jess to clam up. 

He has a feeling that he would have a hard time if Jess pulled away from him for he has a glimpse of how stubborn she could be. She's too independent for her own good. She never dropped her defense around him. 

Whenever she is pushed in the corner she either fights back with all her might, or she just lets things go. As Luke once said, Jess is tenacious only with things that interest her, other things she couldn't be bothered with. 

And he doesn't want her to consider him as something that she doesn't give a shit about.

When he finally was able to drop the call with Stefan, he took a break from signing documents and stood up from his chair, rolling his neck side to side. His neck and shoulder muscles were so stiff with that sprint to get the documents the other parties were asking. 

If his grandfather would know that he was spending this much time and resources in his other businesses that he called his hobby, he would get criticized for wasting his time on unimportant things. 

"Antonio, where did Jin and Soraya take Lucille?" 

"In the neighbor's villa." 

His pen was frozen midway from signing the documents when he heard that Lucille was in Jess' villa. 

"What are they doing there?" 

"I heard the young miss wanted to personally thank Miss Zimmerman for her presents." 

"Oh, I see," he signed the last documents, and with newfound excitement, he stepped away from his table and decided to pick up his daughter from their neighbor. He smirked thinking of Jess' reaction to his note. 

He opened his closet to pick a change of clothes when he decided to take a shower first. If he will visit Jess, he needs to smell good. He chuckled softly by himself. The image of Jess sniffing him would never get old. He would always find it hilariously adorable. 

After taking a quick shower, he changed into faded jeans and another white shirt. He stroked his chin and felt the five o'clock shadow on his chin. He had forgotten to shave for he was in a rush to go to the neighbor's villa.

He was about to step out of the door when he received an email from - Ellise? He furrowed his eyebrows wondering, what could be the reason why she would message her. He opened the email and saw that it contained video and photo attachments. 

As he was waiting for the attached video to download, he clicked the attached image and bent over in laughter. He was laughing so hard he had to hold the door frame to steady himself. He checked on the pictures again and chuckled. He has to thank Ellise for these photos. 

He went back to the living room and sat down on the couch. He stared at his phone in anticipation to watch the video. The photos were already too funny, but he has a feeling that the video would be funnier. 

And he wasn't disappointed. Watching the video, he was grinning so wide his cheeks hurt. The video was two clips put into one, the first clip was of Ellise slumped on the sand, clearly drunk, throwing sand in the air, the other one was in Jess' bedroom where she was clinging to him like a koala. In the video, she still has her dress on. 

The video was hilarious but after watching it for the second time, his forehead started to crease. In both clips, Jess was saying the same thing over and over again. 'Noah is a meanie.' When Jess' words registered in his brain, he no longer found the video funny. 

He remembered asking Jess why she was calling him a meanie, but she didn't answer him and just cried. 'What did I do to her?' 

"Sir, you're still here?" 

Antonio's voice snapped him out of his thoughts. He shoved his phone in his jeans back pocket and went out to pick up Lucille. He was still mulling over the video that Ellise sent him as he knocked on Jess' door. 

And the woman that was on his mind was the one who opened the door for him, and she looks - marvelous. 

He reached out for her tendrils of hair and gently tucked them behind her ear. "Feeling good, I hope," he said.

Instead of answering him, she glanced over her shoulder and when she saw that Lucille still had the three adults under her spell, she pulled Noah away from her door. 

He let her drag him to the corner, and with a smirk on his lips, he asked, "Miss Zimmerman do you want a repeat of what we did last time?" He reached for his ass, whispering in her ear. 

But she swatted his hand "I apologized for what I did last night." she said with a serious face.

"You did a lot last night. Which one were you apologizing for?" he watched her bite her lips as her face turned red
