Mixed feelings by S. N. Nina Arthur (beach read .txt) 📖

Venessa’s POV

I woke up feeling someone shaking me; I opened my eyes to see Enzo’s face.

“Wake up, come on,” he said, extending his hand. I took it and stood up. He kissed my hand, I smiled and followed him stepping outside. It was evening. The sun was setting, there was Limo waiting for us. 
We climbed inside, all this while my hand was in his. My hand is so small compared to his, it fits perfectly.

After driving for hours we reached a harbour, we got out of the car. There was a beautiful yacht, it was so beautiful and huge. It was maybe 84-meter!, Enzo put his hand on the back of my back, lead me to the yacht. 
We walked inside, it was beautiful inside. There was an 8-9meter swimming pool to create a gigantic open space on the main deck. It was virtually a natural transition between the indoor salon and the outdoor swimming pool, Low lounging furniture located all around the swimming pool create an ideal location for sunbathing, whilst at the same time letting us experience an untampered view all around from the mosaic swimming pool. They have also built railings have also in such a manner as to keep an open view.

Inside the main deck, the circular layout theme continues with round shapes found in a variety of places. From the light spread on the ceiling to the concealed staircase on the side to the shapes of the carpets and furniture, the circular theme spreads throughout the main deck lounge.

It was so beautiful to look at. I never saw this beautiful yacht ever in my life. I hung my mouth open, and Enzo chuckled. “Come,” he said, taking my hand in his, we walked inside, instead of cutting through rooms in a straight line, corridors flow throughout the layout of the yacht in curves, mimicking the shape of a wave and the sea as they spread through the yacht. In between the main salon and the upper deck, the lounge is two tall, video screens built into the wall that features abstract video art that spreads across the decks. lighting scheme inside features up to 10 different colors, lenses and positions. The yacht’s exterior strip lighting was, on the other hand, developed by Total Looks. It was so beautiful, past the tall video screens, we walked to the yacht’s main dining table, capable of comfortably accommodating all 12 members.

I also spot the same outdoor to indoor transition that I saw on the main deck can also on the upper deck, as seemingly endless windows can be stacked away to open the area completely onto the outside lounge, perfectly suited for cocktails. The underwater observation lounge also doubles as a cinema with a giant screen dropping down from the ceiling and transforming the area from a place to stare at the depths of the ocean into a fully functional cinema.

I was admiring the room, but Enzo started pulling from there. we moved forward on the upper deck to the owner’s stateroom. He opened the door allowing me to go first and It was so beautiful, the room was offering an unparalleled, 180-degree view as the yacht cruises forward, the master stateroom basically translates to an owner’s deck, complete with a study and lounge.

To offer even more light, a glass feature was installed into the suite’s ceiling. Built as a separate room, adjacent to the entrance to the master stateroom, the owner’s study features floor-to-ceiling windows, a fully-stocked library, and a lounging area. I walked inside taking my time, admiring the room. I walked to the library, I traced my fingers on the books.

Enzo came forward, I turned to him. smiling at me, he took my hand leading me up on the third deck it starts a transition to a wellness area with a well-equipped gym located aft of the deck with the same transition from outdoor to indoor as guests previously had found on lower decks. A space dedicated to relaxing in the summer sun, yacht’s sundeck features extensive space for lounging. Sunbeds are located aft of the deck, with a lounging area, which could be used as a casual dining spot protected by shade from yacht’s roof.

I moved forward of the sundeck can be found even more lounging space protected by shade as well as extensive areas for sunbathing on the sides of the yacht. Towards the bow is a hot tub that blends into the deck with no railings around and nothing to block an incomparable view.

I walked there and settled on the sofa, I was smiling like a kid who just got her favorite toy. I couldn’t explain how beautiful the yacht was. I can feel Enzo behind me, I looked at him. He settled beside me, I held his shoulder and put my head on him. Yacht started moving, the view of the sun setting was beautiful from here. “It’s a beautiful view,” I whispered, looking down at me “ it is, “he said. We stared at each other, He bent down, his lips against my cheek, brushing it lightly-and still, that light touch sent shivers through my nerves, shivers that made my whole body tremble.

His lips meet mine, We are kissing like crazy. Like our lives depend on it. His tongue slips inside my mouth, carefully gentle but demanding, It was a passionate kiss, The feeling was so good, the situation and this movement I’ll never forget in my life. He was filling a deep hollow which my parents left inside me and I am letting him.

****
We were relaxing under the sundeck looking at the stars, it was dark now. Far from the yacht, I can see an Island. Turning to Enzo I asked, “ Are we going to that Island” pointing at the island, he nodded

“where are we?” I asked 

“Italy” He answered

“Italy!!!!!”I exclaimed, 

I love Italy I always wanted to come here but I couldn’t, I’m so happy right now, I was gleaming with joy. “Oh my God”.

******
It was dark, we reached the Island. we walked out of the harbour, it was cold my body was shivering. Enzo removed his coat and placed it over me, I clenched to it, there was a limo waiting for us. We climbed inside, outside of was dark and we passed through the thick forest, after 20 minutes of driving the car stopped. We stepped out of the limo and my mouth hangs open looking at the big mansion in front of me.
