gargantuan qualms into the
insignificant speck it really was. “I will never leave you for anyone.”
“What if she's a fan of Sara Sarracini?” Gloria had to ask, she
wouldn't find her peace during the rest of the vacation until she knew and
could put it behind her for the rest of her life.
“Don't be silly.” he answered quickly
and directly, she had nothing to worry about.
“What if she looks like Sara Sarracini?” came the next
scrutinizing question of insecurity.
“No way.” as before, he replied back
with the same quickness and directness, her worries were dropping fast.
“What if she is Sara Sarracini?”
Gloria presented the ultimate question, one that would prove if his loyalty was
reserved solely to her.
“Of course not. I only have eyes for you.” he proved her right, he
once again answered quick and direct, showing he may have admired his starlet
but Gloria was the only girlfriend for him.
Gloria's insecurity faded into
obscurity, he had made her overwhelmingly pleased, she could hardly retain her
tiding emotions for him, “Oh, I love you.”
“I love you too.” he said warmly, his
deep fondness for her was felt when saying the grandest words ever formed to
create an incomparable sentence with such monumental beauty.
She embraced him, spilling her
cappuccino in the process. She didn't care, her boyfriend was more important.
Paulo looked up in deep thought, lost
in a fantasy projected in his staring gaze. He was imagining what it would have
been like if Sara Sarracini had come to this little big tropical slice of
heaven and more importantly, during her stay in paradise, ran into her biggest,
devoted fan and struck up a beautiful and passionate romance the likes of which
no one had ever seen. He longed for it to come true, to show the star he
admired her, the most, proving just how unconditional his devotion for her was.
Being with the woman of his secret, private dreams, it would have been out of
this world, he wouldn't have known how to react, it would have been like
winning the lottery, so unbelievable and hard to imagine actually happening,
but the fact it did made it the greatest fortune to bestow on one's life.
He would have been the most happiest
and most fortunate young man to be put on this earth to be able to have the
most magnificent and most dear woman of all existence in his life, one he would
always treasure in his rapidly beating heart, always and forever. Sara
Sarracini, his lily of all the lilies. She would be a lucky woman with a great
fortune if she had Paulo, he could absolutely guarantee it.
The likelihood of it coming true was
slim, his rational side reminded him of that, but he was aware himself, hence
why it was called a fantasy. The chances of Sara Sarracini coming to this
island among all the other resorts to spend her vacation was highly unlikely.
Paulo could dream though, there was no law of nature that could prevent him
from dreaming about the vacation and the romance of a lifetime.
That said, he did secretly yearn for
his deepest wish to come true every time he thought of her and himself together
as one great item. He would have been in for a big surprise if it did. So would
Gloria.
CHAPTER 5
A luxury cruise ship, the top of the
line in its stately design and grand baronial scale, housing only the most very
important of people on the face of the earth, sailed majestically along the
deep blue sea, it dazzled equally to the bright hot sun gleaming over its gold,
black and white surface.
Patrons of all ages bathed beside the
immense pool filled with crystalline sky blue cool water reflected off the heat
of the sun, granting those who dived in some shelter from the baking hotness.
For others, the heat of the bearing sun was ideal for a tan. The pool was alive
with high societal guests playing, swimming and socializing in and around the
pool.
Of all the VIP passengers, only one
stood above the rest and was deserving of the
