of the delicious warm air into this very air conditioned car. Watching the world go by as we speed along. So much so, I got distracted and was awoken from my daydream by Mr Encounter giggling on my right.
     
    ‘What?’
    ‘Bella, you looked like a kid in a candy store! Grinning away to yourself’
    ‘Sorry’... I blushed and looked down at my lap. He failed to say... grinning away like an idiot! Damn it.
    ‘Sorry? Why on earth are you sorry. It was a delight to see you smiling.’
    ‘Sorry... I mean...Well I was enjoying the scenery. I love travelling and seeing new places. I find it somewhat therapeutic for the soul.’
    ‘I am pleased that you are enjoying yourself’
     
    I nod and smile, and try not to look into his very sexy eyes for too long so that I don’t inadvertently pounce on him. Now that would be embarrassing! The driver swung the car towards the entrance of the restaurant. It looked quaint yet expensive and luxurious. Mr Encounter leapt out with enthusiasm and grace all rolled into one. He walked swiftly around to my door and gently opened it. He held out his hand to help me out. His hand was soft yet still manly. I had to remember to let go of it, once I had found my footing out of the car. We were led to a table that was intimate and had a sea view. The balcony doors were wide open and you could hear the sounds of the waves rolling back and forth. It was just perfect.
     
    ‘I thought you might enjoy this view Bella, I hope you like it’
    ‘I love it, its a gorgeous place, thank you’
     
    The waiter brought over the champagne, and deftly poured some into our glasses. To my delight it was pink and I hoped it wasn’t the cheap kind, as cheap champagne always gave me indigestion. We lifted our glasses and clicked them. Looking deeply into each others eyes, there is no denying the mutual attraction now. Good grief his eyes.... I could get lost in them.
     
    ‘To a beautiful evening, with a beautiful lady’
    ‘Are you always so complimentary?’
    ‘Only when I mean it Bella. Only when I mean it.’
     
    Wow. This guy is intense for someone who just wanted a spot of company for the evening. We
    ordered our entrees and main course. We didn’t run out of conversation throughout. It just flowed, so easily, no hardship at all. Before I know it, we are onto the second bottle of champagne and I am starting to feel a little lightheaded. I am not sure if this is from the champagne or if this is from the attention this guy was lavishing me. He just seems so different from the other men. More together and comfortable with himself, so attentive.
     
    ‘Come Bella, let’s go for a stroll’. I nod, enthusiastically. Probably a little too eager, but hey ho! in for a penny in for a pound. The perfect gentleman that he is stands up and walks around, holding out his hand to escort me. I accept his hand and immediately feel the pleasure soaring through me at his touch. We walk down some steps towards the beach the moonlight reflected off the water so perfectly. My heels started to sink in the sand, so I slip my heels off one by one.
     
    ‘Bella.... my darling, you appear to have shrunk’.
    I giggled at this ‘It appears I have!’
     
    He slipped off his shoes as well, and we walked towards the waters edge. Staring out to sea, gazing at the moon’s reflection on the water. The sound of the waves is somewhat hypnotic. He span me around and gently placed his hands either side of my face, his fingers in my hair and gazed at me. My heart is thumping so loudly I am sure he can hear it. He leans towards me and kisses me. Oh wow, his lips are softer than they look. Oh wow, I could jump up and down right now. He puts his arms around me and pulls me closely into him.
     
    ‘What time do you leave tomorrow?’
    ‘Urmmm I think I have to leave the hotel at 9am.’
    ‘Well my beautiful, I shall meet you at 7am for breakfast’
     
    I smile at him, but feel a stab of disappointment. The evening is over, but I guess
