Chapter 19: Sunny Day!

Roger had a very wonderful dream. He do not know why he dreamed of his childhood friend way back 20 years ago in King's Lynn. He awake with a smile on his face as that dream is like a reality. He wakes up and think about this girl...how is she now? Is she is working? Does she has a boyfriend? Or does she already have a family?...this this just came to his mind for he wants to see her again. He decides to forget about it and went to the bathroom and he saw Jilliane brushing her teeth. He looked at her but she is not looking at him, she only looks on her reflection in the mirror.
He took his toothbrush and applied toothpaste and starts brushing his teeth too but still looking at Jilliane. The latter finished brushing her teeth and went out. Roger finished his too and and went out too to chase Jilliane.

"Hey! Are you avoiding me?" Roger asked.

"And why do you think i'm avoiding you?" Jilliane replied but not looking at him.

"It's because you are acting so weird! Why are you like that?"

"There is no sense of talking to you! That's why!"

"No! That's not the reason!..and i know it's because of what happened last night!.."

"And yes! You point it out!..how could you be that rude to a woman?... Is it right that you deprived her to sleep outside the bedroom?... How rude and disrespectful you are!" Jilliane yelled.

"...are we going to fight with this?... It's so early... Why are you yelling that much?!"

"It's because of what are you doing to me! You are treating me like i'm a maid! yu are not even respecting me...!..you see..every woman wants a memorable 'honeymoon' but what did you did?..."

"Well...ok...ok...you win!...so you want a memorable 'honeymoon' huh?" Roger asked.

" It's not by means of physical contact!.. i just wanted to...have it...memorable...even were just...really not a couple..." Jilliane is feeling embarrassed.

Roger sighed and looked at her.

"Ok!...my hands up! I surrender!...you want a memorable honeymoon?" Roger asked her with a nice smile.

Jilliane was puzzled about that smile.

"Come!" Roger went out and she followed him.

They rode an open car and wander the beauty of Mykonos... Jilliane knows that Roger is a fast driver but she enjoyed the fast ride... She even stand right on her sit and feel the wind that touches her and her hair. Roger too became happy in that road trip he smiled and laughed heartly as seeing Jilliane enjoying the ride.

" I' m the queen of the world!!! Whooohooo!!!!" Jilliane said while extending her hands like that of Christ the Redeemer in Buenos Aires.

"Go!Go! Go! Make it fast!" Jilliane said to Roger. The latter only gave her a laugh.

After that road trip they went to a bicycle rental.

" Why were here?" Jilliane asked.

" You cannot leave Mykonos without trying to have a bike!"

" But.. i do not know how to ride a bike!"

" What?!" Roger laughed ".. are you serious?... Everybody knows how to ride a bike...but you...you never tried?.. what kind of childhood did you had then?"

" ..no one taught me how to ride it..not even my parents.. so i didn't learned".

" Well ok.. i'll teach you" Roger said.

And yes...Roger teach her to learn how to ride a bike but not without a problem.

"Ok..keep pedalling and look a far..."

"Wait...just a bit more...just keep on holding the back" Jilliane said.

"...ok...a bit more...now go!!!" Roger let go of the bike and Jilliane tried to manipulate the bike but then Jilliane crushed and get hurt.

"My!!! Why is it that you are not listening to the instructions...it's just simple! Even kids can follow it! You're so stupid!" Roger yelled.

After a while he heard Jilliane starts to wail which Roger found so weird.

" Hey!.. and now you're crying and wailing!...it's just a little wound!"

"It's not the wound or because i was hurt that i'm crying at!"

" Then what?" Roger asked

"I'm crying because you said that I'm "stupid"! Instead of supporting me, you are even the one's who discouraged me!" Jilliane said and again cried and wailed.

"What the-" Roger cannot continue what he is about to say for she still keeps on wailing. "Fuck this!" He said to himself.

"Stop crying!" He said but still she continues wailing with big hot tears.

"Please..stop crying!...I'll buy you ice cream!" Roger said.

Jilliane looked at him with a childlike anger.

"..and what do you think of me?! A kid?" Then she continues to cry.

"My!!" Roger do not know what to do only to bite his lower lip because of annoyance.

A bit while he convinced Jilliane to eat ice cream in a nearby icecream parlor. Jilliane already stopped crying and now enjoying a big bowl of chocolate ice cream. Roger also ordered his and looked at her with amazement. Jilliane is silent yet happy like a child enjoying her ice cream.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Jilliane asked.

"Nothing...it's just... I remember someone in you...but that was long ago!" Roger said to her.

"Is that so..." She asked while eating ice cream.

Roger just smiled at her.

"I still want to wander Mykonos through a bike ride but... As you see...it is not easy for me to learn to ride a bike..." She said with disappointment.

"You want to bike?" Roger asked.

"Huh?!"

And yes! They wander the coast of Mykonos through a bike ride. Roger is the one pedalling the bike and behind him was Jilliane sitting. She was really happy seeing the coast in that Sunny day! Roger also became happy on that day. As they get tired, they rest sitting on a bench and watched the lovely sunset. Jilliane became really tired and did not notice that she already slept on Roger's shoulder. The latter noticed it but he let her take her rest on his shoulder. He just smiled while staring at her. And he remember again his childhood friend that used to lay her head on his shoulder while watching the sunset. He also leaned his head on Jilliane's head and took a sleep.
