For the remainder of the week they worked together in the office by day, and by night they went out to explore Rio. After that night at the orphanage, something had changed between them. They settled into an easy rhythm, and being around him was just plain fun.
Thomaz was showing her how to play and not take things so seriously. Whenever she was around him, she felt freer...happier.
But there was that pesky sexual attraction.
Twice more her friends had called to caution her when things had gotten heated and out of hand—once when she and Thomaz had gone to a club to dance the samba and then again when they’d gone to listen to music in an open-air cafe and they’d played footsie underneath the table.
After leaving the office on Friday, Thomaz announced, “Tomorrow, we’re doing something special.”
“We’re supposed to be working,” she said. “We’ve made big strides on your campaign, and I’m leaving next Wednesday. We don’t have much time left.”
“And because of that we deserve a day off,” he said. “I’ll pick you up at seven in the morning. Dress casually and bring a change of clothing.”
A change of clothing? That sounded intriguing.
The following morning, Thomaz drove her to a small airfield where his private plane awaited with his pilot to jet them to Iguazu Falls. The day was warm and sunny.
“Did you bring a change of clothes?” Thomaz asked. “We’re going to get soaking wet.”
Bianca held up her beach bag. “I’ve been to Niagara Falls. I came prepared.”
Thomaz chuckled. “Do you know what Eleanor Roosevelt said when she first saw Iguazu Falls?”
“What’s that?”
“Poor Niagara.”
Bianca laughed. “Well, bring it on. I’m ready to be wowed.”
The plane landed at a local airport, and from there Thomaz chartered a private boat to take just the two of them to the falls. There were definitely some perks to dating a billionaire.
You’re not dating him. Don’t even go there.
Maybe not, but this non-date was shaping up to be one of the best dates of her life. Iguazu did put Niagara to shame, simply because there were so many more falls. The noise was deafening. The shower of spray cooled her heated skin. Bianca realized that Thomaz was watching her, not the water. It made her feel both self-conscious and strangely flattered.
Get over yourself. He’s probably just seen the thing a million times.
Thomaz told the driver to speed up, and he revved the engine to a breakneck pace that sent Bianca’s blood strumming. The boat bounced over the choppy water. The cool splash of water in her face, the taste of sunshine, the thundering sounds. It all coursed through her, making her feel fresh and alive.
After the boat ride, they walked along the top of the falls. The vistas of waterfalls and tropical jungle beyond stretched out before them, simply breathtaking.
In this noisy place, Bianca felt a strange kind of peace, even as tourists thronged and helicopters dipped low over the falls.
She was so grateful Thomaz had brought her here. She turned to tell him that as they stood on a viewing platform overhanging the falls.
