Chapter 12

Heather

Nicholas walks beside me, his bare feet whispering along the sand, and his arm around my shoulders. The sun sets on the horizon, as we move between the villas, toward my own personal place.

“Tomorrow’s the last day,” he says, softly, and kisses my shoulder, right beside the red spaghetti strap that hold my dress up.

“I know,” I say. Tomorrow, one whole day and night with the man I can never have, and then it’s all over, folks. I’m not sure I can work up the courage to see him again, or rather, I’m not sure I’ll be able to resist.

He’s been my dream since I ran into him in the hall. Since I Google stalked him a year ago. God, how pathetic am I?

“Are you all right?” He stalls and drags me around to look at him, hidden behind the mask, now. “You’ve been quiet since we left the villa.”

“I’m fine,” I say. “Just hungry and tired.”

“Let’s have dinner down at the beach,” he says and brushes my hair from my neck. “Candles, wine, the wash of ocean against the sand.”

“No,” I say. “No, thank you. I’m super tired. I’d like to get a little sleep. I’ll see you first thing in the morning.” We’re only a few feet from the front of my villa.

“As you wish,” he says, and leans in for a kiss.

He still tastes like me, and it makes it that much harder to walk away. I want to be his for real. I want him to know who I am. but I’m equally terrified and guilty. This is wrong on so many levels.

Nicholas parts my lips and massages my tongue with his, deepening the kiss.

I cling to him; my knees give way and he catches me.

“Oh, sorry to interrupt,” a voice squeaks behind us. The usual unctuous tones from Becky are marred by a high pitch.

I separate from Nicholas and look over at her. “Hi,” I say, and my heart plummets. What will she say about this? We fought, sure, but she’s still my friend, and we’ll need to get past it, fast, because god knows I need some advice right now.

“Hi,” Becky replies and adjusts her mask a little. “Are you busy?” Her gaze darts to Nicholas and back to me again. “We need to talk.”

“I think we do,” I say. I squeeze Nicholas’ hand. “I’ll see you in the morning, okay?”

“The morning.” He nods but sweeps me into another tight embrace. “Assuming I can wait that long,” he breathes, into my ear.

Goosebumps chase down the back of my neck and I shiver, automatically. I kiss his jaw – it’s the only bit of skin on his face I can access – and fight off a fresh wave of guilt. It feels perfect, like it was meant to be.

Finally, I step away from him and move toward the entrance to my villa. I glance back and he stands there, hands in his pockets, watching me.

Becky falls in beside me. “So that’s the mystery man, eh?”

I remain quiet.
