Now it is almost one o’clock. Sisley paddling back to the shore, interrupting Mel and Marc by asking them if they would also like to go for a snack or having a light lunch.
The three go over to the little beach-bar where they order some tuna salad and sandwiches. Marc suggesting to Mel: “How about renting a car for the afternoon and go for a drive along the coast?”
Mel almost jumping in the air for happiness: “Oh, that’s a great idea, Marc! I would love that. Sisley what do you think we rent a cabriolet and let the wind blow the hair.” Sisley replying laughing: “Ah, well and playing Thelma & Louise? Nice idea. But no, I think you two should go for a joy ride on your own I will stay here do a little shopping, manicure and just enjoy the sun, chilling at the beach here.”
Mel: “Oh, well, yes that sounds nice, too. But yes, we will go for the car rental, don’t we Marc?” Marc replies with a smile: “Yes, cool. We can go there, right after lunch.”
Nick passing by and on his way back he stops at the table of the three: “Hey, guys, you have a seat for me here?” Marc: “Yes, of course, it’s yours, here sit down, Nick, you’re welcome.”
Nick replies: “Thanks Marc, so you enjoyed the waves this morning? I see your other friend made himself comfortable surfing in his own way in the sand, watching the Babe’s waves. But you guys had some good moments on the water, didn’t you?”
Mel: “Yes, and the afternoon we will go for a coast ride, we’re renting a car!” Nick: “Oh that’s a great idea! So what are you guys doing tonight, any plans?” Mel: “Oh, we don’t know but it probably can be late till we come back, I’m sure it won’t be before midnight.”
Nick: “So what are your plans for the evening Sisley?” Sisley replies with a smile on her face and a bright glance in her eyes: “Oh, I don’t know, just relaxing having dinner somewhere and chilling.” Nick: “Oh, well that sounds nice too, how about doing that together, would you like to have dinner here in one of the fish-bars? I know a great place with the best fresh fish one of those secret places.”
Sisley answers: “Oh, a secret fish-bar, you want me to show the best place in town tonight, how could I say no?” Nick: “Well, then I pick you up at seven, tonight at your hotel, okay?” Sisley agrees: “I’ll be there at seven o’clock.” The guys are finished with lunch and get up everyone goes there way.
Nine o’clock Nick and Sisley sitting on a corner table at Blue’s fish bar with an amazing view over the ocean and the little harbor. After the seafood plate and a bottle of champagne, they are waiting for a lemon parfait and mousse au chocolate. Sisley: “It’s such a beautiful place, one would not expect such a romantic scene here in Newquay.”
Nick: “Yes, it’s unusual for Newquay but I like this quiet place it gives you a moment in time, but the rest of the town has it’s very own flair, you’re right. But I somehow love this mixed atmosphere. I actually have my apartment on the other side, but also with an amazing view on the ocean. If you like and still have time after dinner I can take you there. It’s on top of this hill. You see the light over there?” Sisley nicking with her head: “Yes.” Nick:” It’s next left from it.
Sisley gets curious and agrees. The two get the bill and take a ride with Nick’s motor-bike: Sisley sitting close to Nick her hands wrapped around his hip and it’s an amazing night taking the route on the coast, driving up the small hill, she feels like in a dream. Twenty minutes later they arrive. Nick stops the motor-bike in front of a huge white villa. They walk up the staircase. Nick takes Sisley on her hand and smiles at her. “Do you like my house?” Sisley is speechless they enter the hall which is designed in a modern Italian style and with a huge terrasse.
Nick opens the glass door and they step outside the balcony. Nick: “Enjoy the view, I get us a drink, I’ll be back in a minute.” Nick switches on some lights and music and comes back with some Martinis with lemon on eyes. Sisley still speechless: “Wow, this is a lifestyle, surfing all day and that’ where you’re living spending the nights? I’m impressed, this is like a dream.”
Nick: “Yes, I like making my dreams come true and right now I see another one standing right in front of me.” Looking at Sisley he puts his hand around her shoulder and gets close to her lips: “So you like to dream a little dream, then close your eyes.” And their lips meet, they start kissing passionately getting close together.” Nick holds Sisley tight and kisses her neck. Then he pauses: “Would you like to go inside? I would.”
Both move over, going upstairs and Sisley can’t trust her own eyes she feels so overwhelmed. Lying down on the bed she just closes her eyes, and they start rolling all night. In the early morning hours, they fall asleep.
It’s about twelve o’clock Sisley wakes up with a bird singing sound and a soft kiss on her lips, opening her eyes she looks into Nick’s big green eyes and a bright smile. Nick whispering in Sisley’ ear: “You’re ready for a new day?”
The jalousies open automatically and again Sisley can’t trust her eyes this is too good to be true Sun rays shine into her eyes and she looks on the blue turquoise ocean in a shimmering light. Nick has prepared a breakfast in bed including champagne and yes she’s ready for a new day smiling into Nicks face: “Yes, I’m so ready!” biting on her lips looking at Nick asking: “So, are you?”
