Mr. Blue Eyes: Wild Night Dreaming 1 Read Free Page B

but they were all genuine,
with Thera as the longest. Distance and the ocean weren’t able to
keep them apart.
    She took a sip of coffee and returned her
eyes to the soothing sight. She had needed to relax since Thera
came back with her scoundrel of a boyfriend. She was alone. Mrs.
Georgia and her husband have already retired at their apartment
like they did every day while Thera and Jake were relaxing in their
rooms. They, of course, had to have separate rooms, as they were
here on Greece, in respect to the elderly in the house. She didn’t
know the arrangements when they visit other places, but as she led
them to their rooms which were in the same level of the house, at
least, there was no question about this.
    She enjoyed the silence.
    But a couple of minutes later, Thera came
down the stairs and sat with her on the couch, holding a cup of
coffee.
    “It’s so good to be here again!” she smiled,
looking relaxed and well-rested.
    “I’m glad you’re here, girlfriend,” she said,
smiling. “Where’s Jake?”
    “Probably still resting. I didn’t knock at
his door. I want us to have a chance to chat, just the two of us.”
Thera said conspiringly. “By the way, thanks for the separate
bedrooms. You know we haven’t been intimate yet so it would be a
little uncomfortable to suddenly share the same bed.”
    She was surprised at this. “You’ve been
travelling together for two weeks… and still nothing?”
    “Well… we’ve kissed and… did other things, of
course… a few times… but nothing very intense.” Thera’s face was
very flushed, so flushed she wanted to get a fan for her. “It was
both our idea, actually. I don’t really want to rush things and he
said he respected that. He said he also wants to take it slow and
steady with a nice girl like me. He said he is tired of flings, you
know.”
    Carla looked at her as if a second head has
suddenly popped up from her neck. “Jake has said that? The one who
sleeps upstairs? The tall guy with the blue eyes?”
    Her reaction amused Thera. “Yes silly. That
one. He’s already thirty-five and it’s about time that he finds
something more substantial in his relationships. He wants to start
getting serious. Why do you find it so weird? Besides, now that we
are here there’s nothing that’s stopping us from abolishing the
second bedroom at any given time.”
    “No, of course… and it’s none of my
business.” Carla was trying hard to abolish a bunch of
not-so-serious images in her head wherein Mr. Blue eyes was the
main player.
    “So, what do you think of him?” Thera asked
in a curious tone.
    She has already decided not to reveal
anything to Thera until she had cornered Mr. Blue Eyes and talked
to him about what game he was playing here. On the other hand, she
had thought about the situation and she eventually believed he did
not mean for this to happen.
    They both had not disclosed their real names,
she guessed, after being introduced to him in the airport. This
meant that even if her friend had mentioned her name to him, he
would not know it was actually her – unless Thera had shown a
picture to him of her. She was going to confirm if this was true
before she would decide on what to think.
    Although… even if she had done that, she
honestly was not quite sure how she would handle such a discussion
with him.
    “He seems very nice,” she answered on the
side of caution.
    And Thera looked at her as if she was the one
who had two heads on her shoulders. “Excuse me, are you blind? He
is a hunk, charming, rich, tender, kind, and hot – and you call him
very nice?”
    She was laughing before she finished.
“Alright… alright. He could be all of those things… to you. But I
am being careful. You are his girlfriend. And you know I don’t
really pay that much attention to guys. I mean, when I look at
them, I am not immediately seeing them in that context. That’s
inviting trouble.”
    “You mean, you haven’t seriously fallen in
love since
