Chapter 42

• BIANCA'S POV
• I know you'd be wondering why I asked if I could drink. Well, like I said, I had made peace with the fact that Manuel could never be mine, especially after he had promised to set up a date between myself and his cousin; Francisco. The best I could do was just love him from afar. Atleast, I was glad that I had the opportunity to go on these walks with him every night. I always returned to my room with a wide smile. It only made me realize that I was indeed in love with a man that was way above my league. The fact that spending time with him during our silent walks every night was enough to make my day, only proved that I actually had genuine feelings for him. So kissing him now wasn't such a good idea. It would only make me end up wanting him more. Something that would never happen. And did I have to add that he'd be my first kiss if I let him?! On a normal day, I would have been thrilled that my first kiss was a man I liked. But now, I realized the heartbreak would be a lot more worse if he kissed me, only to act like he didn't know me the moment we left this island.
• It just happened to be my luck that I wasn't allowed to take a shot of the drink. But then, not in my wildest imagination had I imagined that he was going to kiss me with such passion and greed. It felt like he was looking to provoke some sort of feeling within me. I wasn't really sure if that was his intent, but all I knew was the fact that I wanted more. Just like I had forethought.
