Vanessa
Thisshouldn’t be happening right now. Even though I know exactly what this is as helooksat my lips. I’m so caught off guardthatI don’t react in time.
As I feel his warm breath against my lips while our eyes lock, he places his hand on the back of my neck. The moment he tilts his head. I tell myself to take a few stepsbackbut something tells me it’ll just be a simple kiss, just like yesterday, with only our lips coming in contact,
The moment he places his lips on mine, I’m in for a shock when he parts his lips, his tongue seeking access to mine.
He brings his other hand down to my sensitive waist and thatinstantlymakesme part my lips with a gasp.
The next thing I know, I’m kissing him back as his tongue dominates mine. This is such an unexpected turn of events.
Now with bothhishandsaround waist, I’m trying so hard not to moan against his lips. He’s a jerk, but he’s touching me and kissing me in a waythatmakesit hard to resist.
Part of meevenwants to believe it’s all just a dream, but I can clearly feel his warm breath and wet tongue against mine.
I even feel my nipples harden and the more he kisses me, the more they come in contact with his chest.
Is this all just part of the acting? I don’t even know the answer to that
When I feel him pull away from my lips, I’m so confused with my racing heart that I don’t even open my eyes.
Why did he do this? It wasn’t part of the plan, at least not the tongue part.
As much as I hate to admit it, the kiss itself was sensual.
While I keep my eyes shut just a little bit longer, I hear him snicker so I open my eyes, wonderingwhat’sgoing on with him.
The moment our eyes meet, he looks at me scornfully as he shakeshishead with crossed arms.
“Oh, Vanessa, you’re so pathetic.”
I crease my forehead. “What?”
“Just look at you now, so into this moment. This iswhatyou were waiting for, right?
“What are you talking about?”
“This is exactly the type of moment you desired. You wanted me to hold you, especially last night.”
“Last night?”
“Don’t play dumb. I heard you crying last night and it went on for a long time.”
As soon as he mentions that, my heart aches. Does heknowaboutmymotherandmynightmares? I never told him about that Did he find out from my father? No, he wouldn’t tell Dominic without talking to me about it.
I’m brought out of my thoughts when he continues to mock me
The distance from the door to the bed is quite much and for me tohearyou that loudly, itmust’vebeen quite a moment. Now that we’re outhere, I see more of your dark circles. Nice tryhidingthem.”

Every word coming from his mouth is making me feel worseasremember how sorrowful I was last night and curled up. How could he mock me over something so emotional for me?
I feel the tears blur my vision and soon after that, they trickle down my face as I look away from him.
Thisisexactly how he wanted to see me.
“Next time, don’t be such a hypocrite,” he says. “You keep acting bike you don’t want me to touch you but you do. Must ve been quite a lonely wedding night without your husband.”
As soon as hesaysthat, I look back at him with narrowed eyes as I process what he just said to me. Soon, it allmakessense and looking at him now, I can’t help but scoff.
“Hold on a second.” I wipe my tears with another scoff. “You think I cried because of you last night?”
“There you go again, trying to act tough. I see right through your He smirks
At this point, I can’t help but burst into laughter. Once again, this is such an expected turn of events.
I place my hand over my mouth, amused by his assumption.
Once I confpose myself, I feel my ribs hurt from laughter.
“Listen here.” I step closer, my hair strands blown away from my face by the gentlewind. “That’s where you’re absolutely wrong/ I would never cry overyou”
He smirksagain. Like I said, I see right through you.”
That’s where you’rewrong. I place a hand on my hip. “For your information, last night was pretty emotional for me only because of something from my past that still shows up even today”
He stays silent and his smirk fades.
“So next time you hear me cry, it definitely won’t be about you either. My tears had a deep meaning. You’re not dear to my heart. Well, now that we’re done with thefootage, I’m off to explore and be alone!”
I turn around, walking away with my head high. I can’t help but giggle a few times at his assumptions about how I felt.
Is that why he got back at me for what I’ve said so far to him and Carmella? by kissing me so passionately?Justto give me a taste ofwhatI couldn’t have last night?
As my thoughts drift back to the taste of hislipsand handsaroundmy sensitive waist, I shake my head lightly, telling myself
to forget.
Because it meant nothing, it shouldn’t take too long. I’ll definitely forget about it.
Though I want to explore, the waves crashing into my feetarecalling meandright now, I just want to get into the water.
Putting my phone a distance away, I take down my hair and get in. This is so refreshing. What an interesting morning I’ve had so far.
Dominic
It’s been a few minutes sinceVanessawalked away from me and until now, I stand in thesamespot. It’s because I’m shocked by the realization that she never cried because I was with Carmella and not her on our wedding night.
When she told me that her tears had a deeper meaning, I wanted to make myself believe she was only trying to cover up the

real truth and not be embarrassed. But the look in her eyes told no lies.
Now I wonder what it actually wasthatmadeher bawl her eyes out that way.
Whatever the case, that shit doesn’t matter anymore.
As much as I’m disappointed that I was wronginassumingI had something to do with her tears, I partially gotbackat her.
She’ll never stop thinking about thatkissandmy touch. She can try to pretend all she wants, but she can’tlieto me. Her body language said it all.
1 felt her tremble a little when I held her in my arms and kissed her passionately. And those rock hard nipples rubbed againstmychest. That’s something she’ll never forget.
I still wish I was right about everything else. Whatever. Fuck this shit
Now’s the time I should be heading back inside to be with Carmella since I’m done here, but I can’t stop watching her as she gets into the water while still in her clothes.
She loosens her hair and it all falls in the back as she sits down.Then, she lays flat in the water until her entire body is submerged. Once she rises, her wet hair looks darker again, just like earlier and several strands cling to herfaceand
shoulders.
With her lips parted, she pushes all her hair to the back, revealing the full view of her in her busty red tank top that has turned to a darker shade of red now that it’s wet. She gives off a refreshing smile as she looks around. But when she looks in my direction. I look away.
What the hell am I still doing here? It’s time to go back inside.
While she continues to look at me, her smile is gone. She’s actually glaring at me
As I keep my eyes on her, I glance at thestandas 1 disassemble it and the camera drops to the ground
“Babe!” Carmella’svoiceechoes as she calls out to me from the entrance of the house.
Wanting to leave the shore anyway, I hold the stand with one arm and pick up the camera. When I bring it to my face, it’s recording my feet. Without giving it much thought.Isaveand shut it down. I’ll edit the footage later.
It’s a good thing Vanessa and I don’t have to do this again.”
As I approach the house, Carmella has her armscrossedand lips pursed.
“Giveme the camera” She holds out her hand.
“For what?” Im a little irritated.
She drops her hand awkwardly. “Oh, I’m just curious about the footage. That’s all.”
“You’ll LEC it later when it’s edited.”
“But I want to see il n-
I said later, now drop it.”
“Babe, what’s wrong with you?” She gets closer and touches my face.
“It’s nothing” I move myface awayand head inside.
I don’t know what’s gotten into me just now. Everything wasjustfineafew seconds ago. Maybedeepdown, I’m still upset.

that Vanessa wasn’t actually bawling hereyesout because of me.
As much as I want to edit the footage now, it’s toosoonto look at the moments that led up to the realization that it was never because of me.
So when I get to my bedroom, I put everythingasideand slumpbackin my seat. I need a distraction.
And where’s Carmella‘ She didn’t follow behind me. I hope she’s not out there with Vanessa.
As soon as she comes to mind, Iraisemy head. She now has a thing for trying to b

Just in case I’m wrong, it’s best to keep things under control, at least for now.
habe. She might mention the kiss.
Quickly, I reach for my phone and callVanessa.It takes her a while to pick up and I remember that she left her phone further from the shore.
I just need to tell her to keep her mouth shut.
When she picks up, I’m about to speak first but furrow my eyelaws at what I hear next.
“Babe?”
