Chapter 53 Yacht Party

Chapter 53 Yacht Party

Selena’s P.O.V.

When I told my girl gang that my parents already knew about my relationship and had no problem with it, they couldn’t believe it.

It was only after I made them talk to James, and he confirmed it. They finally believed me.

They asked me to throw a party. So, we planned the party at James’s yacht at night and will stay there for a weekend. It’ll be so much fun. James, my friends, and their boyfriends. 

After the last lecture of college, I leave the classroom. As I walk through the corridor, scrolling through my phone, my eyes flick toward an empty classroom—just casually.

But what I see through the half-closed door makes me stop in my tracks.

I freeze.

Inside, I see our professor Iva with blonde hair and specs sitting casually on the desk. But that’s not what makes my jaw drop.

It’s the tall guy standing between her legs, his face way too close to hers.

He’s a Will, student from a different batch. 

Holy. Shit.

His hand is resting on her thigh, and he leans in even closer—so close their lips are almost touching. She’s not stopping him. In fact, she tilts her chin up like she’s inviting the kiss.

Fuck! What the hell did I just witness?

Before their lips meet, I slip away from the door, careful not to make a sound.

I smirk.

Professor and student love affair. Oh, my girls are going to hear about this.

And this yacht party just got a new spicy gossip topic.



I stand in front of the mirror, getting ready.

There were so many times I felt it deep down while watching Zoe and Stella with the love of their lives. I used to crave that kind of connection and thought I’d never get the chance to experience a love like that, but finally, I’m with my man. I’m so excited. The feeling is unreal.

I adjust my black dress, watching myself in the mirror, ready to make this night unforgettable.

This is the first party where I’m going as James’s official girlfriend, although it’ll be just my friends and their boyfriends, I still feel so happy.

Just as I finish getting ready, I hear a familiar car horn outside. I glance out the window and spot James leaning casually against his car, arms crossed over his chest, his eyes fixed on me with that charming smile.

My heart skips a beat. He looks so handsome in a white shirt and black pants. I smile back, hold the curtain, and get lost in him for a moment. Then he gestures to me and mouths that I look pretty, making me blush.

Giving him one last gaze, I turn around, cheeks warm with excitement before stepping away from the window.

I quickly grab my handbag from the table and rush out the door. 



We’re all dancing with our partners on the yacht under a sky full of stars, the breeze playing with my hair and the sound of waves crashing against the sides of the boat.

James pulls me closer, grabbing my waist as we sway to the rhythm of the music. My eyes widen as he steals a passionate kiss. I kiss him back, wrapping my arms around his neck. 

I’m sure both the couple don’t even notice us because they’re also lost in each other completely like James and me. 

He pulls away slowly and rests his forehead against mine as we both catch our breath. A peaceful smile spread across my face. Finally, we have each other officially, without any fear.

The music fades into the background, and all I can hear is the sound of his heartbeat syncing with mine.

"You're glowing tonight.” He brushes a loose strand of hair behind my ear. "I still can’t believe you’re mine, Little Miss."

He’s said this a thousand times since last night, and every time I hear it, butterflies dance in my stomach.

I grin up at him, playing with the collar of his shirt. “I’ve always been yours. It just took us a while to get here.”

He cups my face and places a soft kiss on my forehead, and we both get lost in each other’s eyes, swaying slowly as the yacht glides smoothly over the water.



After a while, we settle down on the yacht, sipping wine and laughing together. I sit between James’s legs, my back resting against his chest, and he gently plays with my hair while holding his drink in the other hand. 

The fairy lights strung around the deck cast a golden glow, making the moment feel like something out of a dream. This night is more beautiful and magical than I ever imagined.

Suddenly, Stella raises her wine glass and shouts, “To Selena and James—finally out in the open!”

We all cheer, clinking our glasses together in happiness. Right after, he hugs me from behind and plants a hard kiss on my cheek, making me giggle in pure joy.

"Let’s take a group selfie,” Zoe announces, taking out her phone from her handbag.

Here comes our selfie lover.

She lifts the phone, and we all pose—making cute faces with our partners. She clicks so many selfies, and to be honest, I’m enjoying it a lot with James. He seems to be having fun too, pulling me closer and gently touching his face to mine. I softly kiss his cheek.

"Look at the newly-in-love birds," Stella teases, looking at us while Zoe snaps another picture of us with the front camera.

Now all eyes are on us. James gets shy, pulls away slightly, and rubs the back of his neck, flustered.

I’m amazed to see this blushing side of him. I find him super cute. I know all of this is new for him, but I can tell—he’s enjoying it just as much as I am.

When both couples gets busy with each other, an idea pops into my mind. I take out my phone from my sling bag.

“What are you up to now, love?” James asks, raising his brows at me. 

I grin and hold up my phone. “I’m going to tell the world that I’ve got my man.”
I move closer to James and touch my forehead with his. 

He chuckles, leaning in, and I gently place my hand on his face. I snap a cute selfie of us, with the stars above and the waves glistening behind us.

After taking it, I look at the photo—and it’s beautiful. I can’t stop staring at it.

“We look so good together,” I say, still admiring our picture.

He gives me that soft, heart-melting smile, and I lean into him, glowing with happiness.

Then, I post the selfie on my Instagram with the caption: “Meet my man, my love, my whole world. #taken #myperson #yachtnightmagic"

The picture appears on my feed instantly.

I glance up at James, who’s now peeking at my screen.

“So… the world knows now,” I say softly.

He stares at the post for a moment, then looks at me with the most genuine smile I’ve ever seen.

“I don’t mind if they know. In fact, I want them to. That you’re mine.”

There’s an intensity in his gaze that sends a shiver through me.

My heart skips a beat. Just from his eyes, he awakens my desire—he makes me wet without even touching me.

And just then, Zoe’s voice snaps us back to reality.

“Girls, let’s take a single picture! We’re all wearing such hot outfits.” She stands up in excitement, and almost trips, but Sky catches her by the hand just in time.

“Be careful, trouble,” he says, and she gives him a shy smile.

Oh God, this girl is always so clumsy.

Stella is busy with Alex, and honestly, I don’t want to move away from James right now.
Yeah, I’m going crazy for him.

“Let’s go, guys,” Zoe calls out again.

Stella and I don’t want to leave, but for our friend, we both get up. James helps me to my feet, holding my hand, and like every time his sweet gestures melt my heart all over again.

I love this man. My man.

I smile at him before walking away with Zoe and Stella to take some pictures on the yacht. We're all wearing black outfits tonight, as decided, and killing it.
