Chapter 57

• By the time I woke up, I looked through the window of my room to see that everywhere was very dark. This seemed like a 'late night' kind of dark. Looking at the tiny clock by my bedside, I gasped when I saw it was already 1am in the morning. Oh boyyy. I had clearly missed out on my walk with Manuel. Laying down back in my bed, I closed my eyes to sleep again, but found myself chuckling. I definitely knew that it was impossible for me to sleep again.
• I remained on my bed though, looking at the ceiling and counting several hundreds until a sound caught my attention. Manuel? Was he still outside? That was definitely his voice. Hopping down my bed, I opened the door of my room and strolled outside the beach house. I was very suprised to see him seated on one of the pavements close to the path leading to his own beach house. He seemed to not have noticed me. Looking closely, I realized he was on a call. By this time? I didn't know how long it was going to take him to finish up with his call, but seeing he had been here up until now, his call was probably going to take much longer. I was about to turn and quietly make my way back inside when I heard my name.
• "Bianaca?" I turned to see Eleanor and Phillippe coming from the opposite direction. Christ! Up until this time? They had been at it since evening? Eleanor let out a chuckle as she got closer.
