The sun was going down very slowly as the sky became faintly colored with yellow clouds.
Still my head on her shoulder.
Still that warm, fuzzy feeling.
"Let me ask you this..." Bella spoke with an amused tone.
"Did you really not see the signals I sent you?"
I suddenly raised my head from her shoulder feeling like an embarrassed child.
Bella laughed seeing my teased expression.
"I did, actually... but I just... didn't think they were addressed to me..." I whispered.
"That's fair... but it was just the two of us, so..." She shrugged.
Oh, she knew how to maintain this direct eye-contact... while I just became red with embarrassment.
"Am I making you embarrassed?" She asked me as if this wasn't obvious enough...
"No, please, go on, this is fun..."
Bella burst into a laugh.
"I didn't want to tease you..." She said caressing my back.
"I mean..." I whispered lowering my gaze. "I guess I gave you a hard time..." My voice was trembling.
Bella shook her head smiling: "I wouldn't say that..."
Then she looked into my eyes: "Still... it would have been worth it in every way."
My heart was beating so loud, I could almost sense it was trying to get out through my chest.
" Thank you for saying that... and..."
I resumed my earlier position, hiding a shy smile.
"... Thank you... for this place. If it weren't for you..." I raised my head and smiled gratefully at her.
Her eyes so sweet and limpid I could almost see right though them.
Her breath going slower.
Still the drops of water were falling though her candid skin and her white bikini.
In her face appeared a bright smile:
" You don't have to thank me, Ellie... and yeah, this place is incredible... but being here with you makes it more magical."
Her warm tone of voice. Her warm words.
My stomach was fluttering.
I came closer her collarbone.
"I hate to say this, but the sun is starting to get lower, now..." I whispered.
"It is..."
Time was passing too quickly, I don't want this.
We glanced sighing, as we understood each other, without adding anything else.
"I'd like to come back here..." I said wistfully.
"We'll have plenty of time..."
Her tone of voice more nostalgic now.
That wasn't true but we pretended it was.
Her arms gently wrapped around my back as she understood I was having those bad thoughts.
We did say goodbye, to that place, with melancholy in our hearts and a lump around my throat.
"I promise, we will return." Bella affirmed in my ear as we got back to the boat.
Still our hands intertwined.
As I was smiling tenderly in her direction, something distracted my attention.
I looked at Vincent, the captain of the boat, smiling at us from afar...
I took Bella's arm and confessed one of my sudden worries: "Does he know about... me? I mean does he know that I...?"
I couldn't even finish the sentence.
