Chapter 277: I Really Don't Want This Trip to Be Ruined by Fights or Troubles.
Jack couldn't believe what he heard and started laughing at Ethan's misfortune. "Hahaha! That was a very shitty move, dude! Even for someone like you, who's supposed to be the smart one in our group. You really should have thought twice before opening your mouth like that. What happened to the guy who couldn't talk properly to girls and had always stuttered whenever trying to speak with them? Now you just suddenly confessed to the girl you've been pining after for months. Man, what a twist of events!"
Ethan looked at Jack, unimpressed at his reaction, and frowned at him. "Yeah, laugh at me, asshole! As if you're any better. How many times did you fail with Layla, huh? And don't act so cocky when you're still struggling to win her over!"
"Fuck off! I don't see YOU being able to do anything either! In fact, you're even worse than me because at least I have the courage to keep pursuing her. While you, on the other hand, are already giving up after getting rejected once! What a fucking joke! I bet you would never try approaching her again after this." Jack retorted angrily at him, getting annoyed by Ethan's comment about his failure to seduce Layla so far. "Besides, who said that I will stop trying to get Layla? She's a tough nut to crack, sure, but I will get her in bed before the trip ends. Mark my words!"
"Both of you, please calm down! Why do you keep bickering with each other every single time?" James interrupted them before things could get more heated between his two friends and then continued to talk, "Ethan, don't worry too much about being rejected. It's normal for someone like Madison to reject your confession at first. She is a popular girl at the university and probably has many guys asking her out, and I'm pretty sure all of them are rejected by her just like how she did to you. However, I'm not saying you should give up. You still have a few days to make her notice your presence and try winning her heart. All I'm trying to say is to not give up on her after just one attempt, okay? Just take your time and try to build a better relationship with her."
James paused for a second to catch his breath before turning to face Jack and said, "And Jack, stop teasing him and laughing at his misfortunes. He is already suffering enough as it is. He doesn't need you rubbing salt in the wound. Moreover, you shouldn't be so overconfident about yourself either. Layla is a very gorgeous woman. If you want her attention and affection, then you must prove yourself worthy of it, and acting cocky won't get you anywhere. In fact, with the way you're behaving now, you'll only push her away instead of bringing her closer to you. Do you understand that?"
"Fine..." Jack muttered reluctantly. He wasn't satisfied with James' lecture, but he knew that if he kept arguing, he would end up losing anyway. James was a good speaker and was able to use his words to convince anyone of almost anything, and he had no chance of winning an argument against him. "But I still think it's funny that the 'silent nerd' got bold and decided to confess his feelings for his crush right away. I bet she didn't expect that to happen either."
James shook his head and let out another long sigh at his friend's stubbornness and inability to listen to advice properly. He knew he would have to deal with him again later, but he would save it for another day.
"Now, since we've finished discussing all of that, let's go upstairs, guys! The girls are probably waiting for us already!" Nathan exclaimed as he got up and grabbed Ethan's arm to pull him off the bed, and together they walked toward their room's exit to head outside and enjoy the day under the bright sun and cool breeze blowing around the yacht's upper deck.

"Ah... This feels great," Zoe sighed as she stretched her arms and relaxed under the shower's warm stream of water. After a few minutes of letting the water pour over her, she decided it was enough and stepped out of the stall.
After drying herself, Zoe checked her reflection in the bathroom mirror. Her dark brown hair flowed down to the middle of her back, and her hazel eyes sparkled as she examined every detail of her naked body, making sure she looked perfect before she put on a black bikini and adjusted the top to fit comfortably around her chest.
'Good! Everything seems to look fine.' She thought to herself as she looked at the mirror once again, making sure everything was perfect.
Suddenly, her thoughts drifted off to Lucifer again when she remembered how he face-fucked Layla with his huge penis.
"Fuck. It's hard to forget what I witnessed..." She murmured to herself as she bit her lip, recalling how the young man handled the beautiful blonde. 'What was it like to be handled by him like that... To feel his massive cock in the throat and then be filled up to the brim... What a lucky woman.'
"NO! What am I thinking about?! They're brother and sister, for god's sake. It's so wrong!" She shouted in frustration and shook her head to get rid of those naughty thoughts from her mind before walking away from the mirror.
As Zoe left the bathroom and walked out to join her friends, she wondered how she should confront Layla about all of this and make her stop doing such a thing with her brother.
'Then there is Jack... He is also trying to win Layla over... If he tries to do something with her while Lucifer is still here on the yacht, it might lead to problems between them. And I really don't want this trip to be ruined by any fights or troubles. I need to talk with her soon before things go downhill.' Zoe thought as she walked out of the cabin to the upper deck, determined to find Layla as soon as possible so that they could discuss the situation in private.
