was outstanding to have the chance to talk about
his grand star, he memorized his discussions so many times over in his head, he
was playing it out according to his fantasies.
“Another one is 'The Sting of the Scorpion', an erotic giallo. She
plays a woman yearning for revenge after her sister is killed. Her performance
as a woman torn by tragedy and yearning for vengeance is powerful. You can feel
all her emotions, you're rooting for her. The way she gets payback by seducing
the assailants, getting the upper hand and striking behind their backs is
amazing. Brains over brawn, it was very original.”
Gloria tried to speak again, she
should have known better, Paulo wasn't finished, he had one final comment to
make about his adored starlet.
“She was as amazing and as alluring as ever. One of my personal favourite films of
her. And not just because she removes her clothes and has one of the most sexy
and arousing love scenes in cinema history.”
Paulo took a moment to catch his
breath, the motor had ran out of steam. He could see Gloria was shooting him a
look, she was amazed he was finally finished, now she could speak.
“Wow, you really are a fan.” she
remarked dryly, her thoughts had at last been thrown on the table.
“Once I start talking about Sara Sarracini I can't stop.” Paulo
stated shyly.
It was the understatement of the
century, that was for sure, thought Gloria, he couldn't stop for a split
second. Even if a typhoon had shook the resort and flooded the island, he still
would have been talking about her, either unaware of the commotion or
disinterested, Sara Sarracini took the highest priority over anything else, she
figured even herself.
If it wasn't for the glaring fact he
had no chance of ever seeing his superstar and having to fight for her
boyfriend's affections, her jealously would have sky-rocketed.
Had it not been for that comforting
thought in the back of her head reminding her, quelling her envy, she would
have caused a massive scene in the restaurant, one that demanded for her
boyfriend to grovel with his tail between his legs and apologize, then feel
obligated to make it up to her by spoiling her rotten and doing anything she
asked for.
On a second thought, she wondered if
maybe she should have caused the scene regardless and get pampered by him. If
she had the energy to create a commotion, she would have done so on the spot.
Lucky for him, she was exhausted from their physical activity upstairs and
didn't have it in her. Paulo dodged the bullet, that time.
CHAPTER 4
The Waitress returned with their
breakfast in her finely manicured hands. Paulo analysed her thoroughly with a
close probing eye, he was not imagining things, there was no doubt in his mind,
she definitely looked like Sara Sarracini.
Her appearance was uncanny, like
gazing at her exact double. There was always a doppelgänger of someone,
somewhere in the world, and this was Sara's.
“Buon Appetito.” she said, placing
their orders down on the table, her cheeriness was at its peak, the meal would
be tasting that extra sweeter with her sugar coating.
“Thanks.” gleaned Paulo, he was
smitten by her and who she resembled to him.
“Thank you.” Gloria put on a smile,
she could see her boyfriend idolizing the bleach blonde waitress, her intuition
told her he was picturing his superstar. She would be putting on a show soon
enough, she could feel it.
The Waitress was about to leave them
to their breakfast in peace, she had other famished guests to work up their
ravenous appetites a great notch. She would be leaving him, he was running out
of time, Paulo built up the courage to tell her what was stuck in his mind
since first laying eyes on her, he wouldn't find any peace during the rest of
the vacation unless he told her who she resembled.
“Excuse me.” he heard the words
coming out quickly, he thought it was in his head, that was until he noticed
her react, he had actually said it.
She stopped,
