Chapter 12
Dominic
It’s been thirty minutes now since I sat alone in this study, editing the clips and pictures I took with Vanessa outside.
I transferred everything to the computer. That way, it’s easier to navigate.
As I edit the next clip, my phone buzzes and I don’t even need to check to know who it is. It’s Carmella. She’s sent me several Lexts to apologize but I haven’t replied.
I also haven’t told her where I am. She’ll eventually

I’m not mad at her. I just hate how she was careless enough to go outside and for what? Just to annoy Vanessa?
While I like the idea itself, it was bad timing and I wish she was smart enough to think about that. But then again, when it comes to her, that’s impossible.
As I edit these clips and pictures, I come across several moments where my arm is wrapped around Vimessa’s waist and she gives off a certain reaction. I’ve been studying her for a while now and it’s clear to me that’s a sensual area for her.
Not to dwell on it, I move on to the next clip by hovering with my mouse and it takes me a while to begin. I’ve just realized t have the footage of Vanessa and I kissing.
That part hasn’t even played yet, but I know it’s this particular footage.
Though I can easily fast forward it to the part where I kiss her, something I’m sure would warm my mother’s hear, I let go of the mouse and lean back to watch.
I already know that Vanessa’s body language gave her away but seeing this footage from a different angle is quite amusing
She seems more flustered than I initially thought and as it builds up to the moment I kiss her, I clench my fists to stay composed
Now that I’m looking at this, I realize I kissed her for such a long time.
Once the kissing part is done, my eyes widen when the part where I made a fool of myself begins.
Quickly, I fast forward because I don’t want to be reminded of in
I can’t believe I have everything on camera, including the moment she goes into the water.
Since she’s too far away, I zoom in on her and lean closer to the screen.
Just then, the door opens and I change the frame on the screen before I can even look back to see who it is.
“Babe,” Carmella says in a low and sad tone. “Tve been looking everywhere for you.” She stands right behind me and places. her hands on my shoulders.
“I’m right here.” I don’t even look up at her as I focus on the paused frame of just the sea
“You’ve been here this whole time? Why didn’t you tell me? I sent you several messages and your phone is right here.”
“You know exactly why I didn’t tell you.”

you still mad at me?” She wraps her arms around my neck.
