HIS

Chapter 38

"Wow" was the only word I've been constantly uttering for the past two hours since arriving in Cape Town. The people are very friendly and the views are world class.

Gosh! Here I thought I was going to a jungle or a desert, but it's so hard to describe the beauty. It's also hard to understand why we are told lies about Africa when in certain places it trumps even our cities. My brain is processing everything my eyes consume. Beautiful architecture, which has the historical and modern contemporary influence. Lush greenery, stunning mountains and beaches with white sand. This place looked like a first world country, even though you also see poverty here, poverty is actually everywhere around the world. One thing that stood out the most for me the most was the fact that everyone looked happy regardless of circumstances. There's a lesson there for everyone. Don't let circumstances dictate your happiness.

The weather is so damn perfect I want to cry. The cold New York winter was getting to me this year. This place is hot, but not the uncomfortable hot, because the sea breeze kept some of the heat away.

We are staying in this gorgeous seven bedroom, three story Villa with floor to ceiling glass walls so that we could take in every piece of scenery we were surrounded by and we were situated next to the beach. We entered the house we and were met with a massive open floor plan kitchen with state-of-the-art stainless-steel appliances, a huge lounge, full bathroom facilities on each floor, gym with glass wall, a modern bar that is incorporated in the whole look of the house as part of the lounge, indoor cinema. Then you when you stepped outside, you are met with the stunning view of the ocean and a huge infinity pool overlooking the sea.

Damn! Why didn't we come here earlier. I thought to myself as I walked through the house, taking everything in.

Domenico pulled me by my hand and indicated I should follow him to the third floor upstairs. We entered a bedroom, which I presume to be our bedroom.

"This is our room?" I asked, to make sure. He could already see the excitement on my face.

"Yes, this is our bedroom. The guys and I will be out early and return back late for the next three days. We want to finish the business part, then we can relax and go see some places" he mentioned, as he stood behind me as both of us stare at the view in front of us, while he was stroking my hair.

I nod "we could laze around the pool or go to the beach or some places that made nice food nearby, but why don't we move here?" I questioned, making him chuckle.

"For someone who didn't want to come to the desert, you are very enthusiastic about this place"

"Yes, and I'm eating my words here. This place is gorgeous" I said, as I pull him to the balcony door. We walked out and stood there looking over the ocean. The sun is still out and it's 18:30 at night and it's about to go down. I breath in the lovely salty sea breeze as Domenico wrapped his one arm around my waist pulling me into his side as we both stare at the stunning view captivating us.

"We are going to have a barbecue and a few drinks as the sun set in an hour. The guys are already preparing stuff downstairs" Domenico mentioned, while glancing at his wristwatch.

"Where is everyone's rooms?".

"You, me, Rodger and Camilla on this floor. Mia, Max, Kate and Kai on the second floor, and Luca and Tessa wanted to be situated on the first floor. I think we should get a shower before we head down. It was a long flight, don't you think?" he asked, making funny faces as he dragged me to the shower. We all knew what the main purpose of the shower was and I don't think I have the heart to object if it means he's all mine.

After our 'shower' we headed downstairs and I saw everyone had their showers and changed. We sat in the area at the back near the pool and everyone seemed to be in love. I'm all here for them being in love.
