"Are you now, Liam-Raffaella?", asked Moreno.
"We're looking for you, it turns out you're here kissing friendly", said Fernandez.
"This bothers me" cried Liam.
"Well, continue with the two of you. Let's not let Reno disturb them" Fernandez said, turning his body around, followed by Moreno.
"Good luck, dude", cried Moreno while laughing loudly.
"My friends are so, but they are so kind and understanding" said Liam staring fixedly at Raffaella who bowed shyly.
Raffaella smiled at him. "Yes. I know", replied Raffaella.
Liam bent his legs, his elbows resting on his knees supporting his face looking at Raffaella.
"Raffaella... May I ask you something?", said Liam staring fixedly at the beautiful face of Raffaella.
"What's Liam? When it comes to the kiss, I think it's because we're both carried away. You calm me down. Thanks for that Liam. Thank you also for saving me" said Raffaella returned Liam's gaze.
Liam looked at Raffaella with a gentle gaze that was hard to understand.
"I like you Raffaella. I really like you" Liam said with a serious face.
Raffaella stared fixedly at Liam's two eyes. The man said honestly, Raffa knows.
"But we just met Liam, I don't know you once you don't know me".
"Therefore, would you like us to explore each other, to know each other more closely. We are both raffa adults, we are no longer teenagers in their teens. Do you understand what I mean?", said Liam, holding Raffaella's hand.
"We will have our relationship first. Let destiny guide us where we are. But for sure I don't want to be in touch with a woman who already has Raffaella's lover. I never wanted to be involved in a scandal".
"I want to ask you something, Raffaella...Who was Manuel calling when I drove you home to your apartment at the time?", Liam asked, sounding stern and demanding an answer.
Raffaella put her tea cup down. Then both hands hugged his knees. With her face on her knees, Raffaella looked at Liam.
Liam exhaled, there was a feeling of relief in his heart. "Why don't you tell me the truth when I ask you who Manuel is, Raffaella".
"Because we just got to know. I'm not comfortable saying everything about myself and my family to people I just met" Raffaella replied.
"Now, do you want to open yourself up to me, Raffaella? Starting from the mutual openness about each other if you want to succeed with this relationship" said Liam looked at the blue sea that stretches.
Raffaella raised her face. He also turned his eyes forward. "Yes, I want to try it, Liam.But you have to understand me. I don't want to have sex with any man before I get married. You should know, in my three-headed age my lovers always leave me because I don't want to fuck them before the wedding".
"I'm telling you this, if you want to back off better now. I understand because people will differ in their principles in dealing with a relationship. May you understand Liam", said Raffaella turned her head to look at Liam who was looking ahead. Marine blue.
Liam's not budging. And there's no sound from either of them anymore. There is only the sound of waves.
Raffaella knew Liam's answer was sure he would back off. Raffaella is always heartened when it comes to a principle that he holds. He realizes he is dating a lot, but all run aground because his girlfriend considers Raffaella a boring girl.
For the past few years, whenever there were men expressing their feelings, Raffaella always explained the principles she held as she had with Liam a moment ago. Usually the men will immediately retreat and leave Raffaella alone.
To be honest, Raffaella also likes Liam. Especially after a few meetings and now they will spend time together in Valencia. But all the decisions are with Liam, because Raffaella has told the truth about him.
Raffaella lowered her face. He held up a towel that covered his already dried body.
Suddenly Liam brought Raffaella's body into his arms. "Of course I want to start Raffaella. My age is grown. I'm tired of playing around with relationships that don't have an end. If I can be honest about how I feel, I don't really like you anymore, Raffa. But I already have deep feelings for you. I love you Raffaella" said Liam earnestly, holding Raffaella's body tightly and gently tucking Raffaella's head.
Raffaella was surprised to hear Liam's confession, there was a feeling of happiness that was difficult to say with words. Raffaella turned her head to look at Liam. "Do you really love me, Liam?", asked Raffaella as if she could not believe what she had heard just now.
"Of course I'm telling the truth. You know Raffaella, when you refused to go with me here, you broke my feelings. I don't think I want to go, if only I don't remember Moreno being my best friend. I'm not excited if you're not around" Liam said, kissing Raffaella's soft lips.
"I love you, Raffaella", said Liam deepened his kiss. So did Raffaella reply to him affectionately. Until the sound of the ship's horn. At first glance Liam saw the four of their friends were inside the cabin and laughed happily at Liam and Raffaella. The four believe Liam and Raffaella have become lovers.
Without stopping her kiss with Raffaella, Liam brandished his thumb.
