Nikola can’t breaks Stella’s fear.
After many pictures, sailing, yachting, water skiing, jet skiing and many kinds of water entertainment their vacation is great. In the last night there they decided to visit the disco at the hotel so they would not be far off and to have a time sleep shortly before leave this paradise with crystal water and interesting sea creatures. Dressed a short white dress with fringes like a latino wild Stella take his favorite red lipstick. Nikola thinks hawaiian blue pants and a flower shirt is a good choice for this hot and serene place. The club is on the seashore. Of there seen how the waves meet the shore and the wind caress a skin. The smell of salt water is everywhere. The music is a strong and varied pop, hip hop, rap, latino, dance which sounding chaotically one after another. In that Stella finds something very sweet and intriguing. The surprise of that of what style be the next song is exciting. They sit on knitted armchairs with soft cushions in the far end row near the water. Stella loves listening waves moving. There is more comfortable for dancing so the others will not push her while she’s moving and there’s more place for interesting moves. At the next table sit blonde man drinking clear vodka accompanied by grapes. Stella and Nikola notice the strange man:
– Do you see the man at the other table? – Asks Nikola.
– Yes! – Stella smiles lightly.
– How does he eat grapes while drinking Vodka? – Nicholas asks.
– There are diferent people. Probably it likes to him.
– Do you want another cocktail?
– No! One is enough for me. Now I want Whiskey. – Stella.
– You will drink whiskey! In this time? -Nicholas looks suspiciously.
– Yes! My favourite drink. Why not?
– It’s too hot for whiskey. – Nicholas.
– I’ll drink it with ice and I think that whiskey can always drink. -Stella smiles. – Will you bring me with lots of ice?
– Ok. I’m going. – Nikola rises of the chair and goes to the bar. In this time playing one of Stella’s favorite spanish songs “Canción del Mar…” and she gets dance around the table. The man of other table watchings her and begins to laugh. She notices his gaze and her face stiff but continues dancing avoiding the green eyes of the man. The song is about to end when Nikola returns. He leaves the glasses and sits down. She asks him:
– Do you want to dance with me? -Knowing the answer but still obliged to ask. May be her desire to come true.
– No! – Nicholas said distinctly. – You know I don’t dancing. Why are you constantly asking me?
– Just asking. You may changed your view. -Added Stella.
After a few more songs and a little bit of alcohol her head is dizzy. She stagger to the table of a blond man, push him glass on the sand and him drink spill. After many excuses Stella brings to him a new glass of vodka. They get to know and it turns out that August is a DJ from Kazan, Russia. He moves on them table. They talk about Zakynthos’s beauty, about music, even Stella dancing at several songs with him. Nicholas is delighted with August’s stories, travels around the world and interesting places he has seen. But they understand that the near 40 years old man is not so glad by this:
– It’s amazing, but of many trips I don’t have a time for family. It can be said that I am almost always alone and due to the fact that I don’t stay long in one place I can’t tie up a link. Obviously it’s my fate. – He says and lower face.
– Are you not satisfied of your life? Did you not fun? – Stella asks.
– Have fun, but maybe it’s too much. – August.
– Do you love your job? – Stella.
– Yes! – August answers quickly without thinking.
– So that’s your way. Love will come. Maybe she will be late because it’s a thousand times better than your dream. – She says with hopeful voice.
– Thank you! I hope it is. – August nod head.
– Let’s get a toast for Love. – While take the glass with his ouzo Nicholas.
– Cheers! – Stella.
– For love! – August said lifting his half-empty glass of vodka. At the moment when listen sound of the touch of their glasses Stella drops her glass and it breaks at small pieces in table.
– I’m sorry! – Stella looked at the men. – Are you OK?
– Yes! Don’t worry. – Answers Nicholas.
– Broken give happiness. – August laughs. A waitress comes to clean the broken pieces after half people of the bar are heard the crash of breaking the glass. At the same time begin a funny pop song. So rhythmically that Stella gets out of the chair and asks August to danceing with her and in reply:
– Perfect! Let’s do this. – Dancing on the fun song August decides to share with Stella:
– I know this singer personally. Once we were together in a disco. I was a DJ there and he singing. He is very talented. – August.
– I hear this song for the first time but the rhythm is unique. I can dance all night at such music. – Without asking who is the singer or how is the song name, Stella turns around several times and continues to dance on the sand throwing the grit even on her dress.
Returning to the table after the song they continue with the talking and the fun. About 4:00 am the sun is just showing up and Stella’s dance partner is gone. She sits alone on the table and drink another whiskey. Nicholas has lost more than twenty minutes and she doesn’t see him anywhere. Stella decides to look for him. She walks around the bar and when doesn’t find him decides to tell the waitress. Sleta say that she goes to the room and if the man who were on her table returned to tell him that. Then the waitress responses:
– Your brother is in the lobby. – She smile contentedly. Stella goes to the lobby and after a few steps sees Nicholas sitting at one table with a red-haired woman. They cheers with strawberry daiquiri cocktails. Stella decides to stay in place. After less than a minute the waitress with which she spoke walks near to her:
– She’s a good girl. Don’t worry for your brother. – Waitress quickly passes with a full tray.
Stella is shocked doesn’t move looking back at Nicholas and the red-haired woman. In this moment sees him kissing her. She touches his forehead and turns around. She goes to the shore and sits with feet dipped into the water. The waves crash into her feet while she crys quietly and wraps her knees with hands. She thinks about the situation again and again, but the exit is one, no matter how long she will think. She will can’t forget this situation. Especially after looking for true love and infidelity even with a kiss doesn’t indicate of true love for her. After ten or fifteen minutes she stand up at the sand and shakes her white dress cover with sands. She goes to them room. Stella walks in and sees that Nicholas is not back yet. She laying on the couch without undressing and crying again but this time with a voice. Asks why, why is all this happening. Why in such a beautiful and wonderful moment, something so terrible happens. Something that hurts so much. After many crying she sleeping. Wakes up at 8:00 am of the alarm on her phone. She gets up a had and falls back on couch. After about a minute of ringing, she stands up, walks to the nightstand and stops the alarm. She sees that Nicholas is sprawled on the middle of the bed only in trousers without a shirt. Stella looks around and doesn’t see him shirt. Smiling slightly and pushing him:
– Nicholas! Nicholas!
– What? – He muttered quietly.
– Nicholas must be up. After an hour we leave.
– No! I want a little more. – Stella goes hysterical.
– You
