Chapter 10
Vanessa
<b>This </b>shouldn’t be happening right now. Even though I know exactly what this is as he <b>looks </b>at my lips. I’m so caught off guard <b>that </b>I don’t react in time.
As I feel his warm breath against my lips while our eyes lock, he ces his hand on the back of my neck. The moment he tilts his head. I tell myself to take a few steps <b>back </b>but something tells me it’ll just be a simple kiss, just like yesterday, with only our lipsing in contact,
The moment he ces his lips on mine, I’m in for a shock when he parts his lips, his tongue seeking ess to mine.
He brings his other hand down to my sensitive waist and that <b>instantly </b><b>makes </b>me 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 both <b>his </b><b>hands </b>around 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 way <b>that </b><b>makes </b>it hard to resist.
Part of me <b>even </b>wants 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 theye 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 n, 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, wondering <b>what’s </b>going on with him.
The moment our eyes meet, he looks at me scornfully as he shakes <b>his </b>head with crossed arms.
“Oh, Vanessa, you’re so pathetic.”
I crease my forehead. “What?”
“Just look at you now, so into this moment. This is <b>what </b>you were waiting for, right?
“What are you talking about?”
“This is exactly the type of moment you desired. You wanted me to hold you, especiallyst night.”
“Last night?”
“Don’t y dumb. I heard you cryingst night and it went on for a long time.”
As soon as he mentions that, my heart aches. Does he <b>know </b>about <b>my </b>mother <b>and </b>my <b>nightmares</b>? 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 to <b>hear </b>you that loudly, it <b>must’ve </b>been quite a moment. Now that we’re out <b>here</b>, I see more of your dark circles. Nice try <b>hiding </b>them.”

Every wording from his mouth is making me feel worse <b>as </b>remember how sorrowful I wasst 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.
<b>This </b><b>is </b>exactly 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 he <b>says </b>that, I look back at him with narrowed eyes as I process what he just said to me. Soon, it all <b>makes </b>sense 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 youst 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 intoughter. Once again, this is such an expected turn of events.
I ce my hand over my mouth, amused by his assumption.
Once I confpose myself, I feel my ribs hurt fromughter.
“Listen here.” I step closer, my hair strands blown away from my face by the gentle <b>wind</b>. “That’s where you’re absolutely wrong/ I would never cry over <b>you</b>”
He smirks <b>again</b>. Like I said, I see right through you.”
That’s where you’re <b>wrong</b>. I ce a hand on my hip. “For your information,st 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 the <b>footage</b>, 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 Carme? by kissing me so passionately? <b>Just </b>to give me a taste of <b>what </b>I couldn’t havest night?
As my thoughts drift back to the taste of his <b>lips </b>and hands <b>around </b>my 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 feet <b>are </b>calling me <b>and </b>right 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 since <b>Vanessa </b>walked away from me and until now, I stand in the <b>same </b>spot. It’s because I’m shocked by the realization that she never cried because I was with Carme 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 was <b>that </b><b>made </b>her bawl her eyes out that way.
Whatever the case, that shit doesn’t matter anymore.
As much as I’m disappointed that I was wrong <b>in </b><b>assuming </b>I had something to do with her tears, I partially got <b>back </b>at her.
She’ll never stop thinking about that <b>kiss </b><b>and </b>my touch. She can try to pretend all she wants, but she can’t <b>lie </b>to me. Her bodynguage 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 against <b>my </b>chest. 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 Carme 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<b>. </b>Then, sheys t 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 her <b>face </b>and
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 ring at me
As I keep my eyes on her, I nce at the <b>stand </b>as 1 disassemble it and the camera drops to the ground
“Babe!” Carme’s <b>voice </b>echoes 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. <b>I </b><b>save </b>and shut it down. I’ll edit the footageter.
It’s a good thing Vanessa and I don’t have to do this again.”
As I approach the house, Carme has her arms <b>crossed </b>and lips pursed.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.
“<b>Give </b>me 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 itter when it’s edited.<b>”</b>
“But I want to see il n-
I saidter, now drop it.”
“Babe, what’s wrong with you?” She gets closer and touches my face.
“It’s nothing” I move my <b>face away </b>and head inside.
I don’t know what’s gotten into me just now. Everything was <b>just </b><b>fine </b><b>a </b>few seconds ago. Maybe <b>deep </b>down, I’m still upset.

that Vanessa wasn’t actually bawling her <b>eyes </b>out because of me.
As much as I want to edit the footage now, it’s too <b>soon </b>to 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 everything <b>aside </b>and slump <b>back </b>in my seat. I need a distraction.
And where’s Carme‘ She didn’t follow behind me. I hope she’s not out there with Vanessa.
As soon as shees to mind, I <b>raise </b>my head. She now has a thing for trying to b

habe. She might mention the kiss.
Quickly, I reach for my phone and call <b>Vanessa</b><b>. </b>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 eyws at what I hear next.
“Babe?”
