Passion Abroad: A BWWM Billionaire Holiday Romance Read Online Free PDF

And he hurt me,” she said in a
low voice. “A lot,” she added as she looked down at her
plate.
    Daniel
looked at her and suddenly felt guilty for making her open up.
    “ Hey,
I’m sorry. I really didn’t mean to make you revisit a
painful past,” he said.
    “ Don’t
be. It’s not your fault,” she smiled.
    “ Yes
it is,” he said as he reached for one of her hands. “Believe
me, I honestly didn’t mean to make you relive a painful past,”
he said in a soft voice.
    “ Water
under the bridge,” she shrugged as she looked at him. She
pulled her hand away from his and took a bite of her food. She then
took a long sip of her juice before she put the glass down. She
couldn’t help but notice the sad look Daniel was giving her.
“What?” she asked.
    “ Nothing,”
he said in a low voice.
    “ Really?
Because you are looking at me like some kind of porcelain doll about
to be run over by a truck,” she said with a smile.
    “ Where
do you get your metaphors from?” he laughed.
    “ I
don’t know. I just say whatever feels right,” she said
taking another bite.
    “ Clearly,”
he said as he looked at her.
    “ But
anyway, apart from the sob story, I have one sister, a twin Emily.
Fraternal not identical and my best friend Cassandra. They are the
two most important people in my life,” she went on as she toyed
with her food. “We have a younger brother, though sometimes we
feel like he is the older one. And that’s that about my
family…oh wait, there is my mom and dad… Some crazy
telenovela story there. That’s it,” she said almost
excitedly.
    “ Okay,
that’s a whole lot about your family.”
    “ Maybe
you should try and see if you can match it.”
    “ Alright.
I have one sister, Melanie. Needless to say she is my world. She is
five years younger than me and she always acts like she is an adult
but she will always be my baby sister. You know, kind of like the
situation you guys have with your brother. And then there is my dad
and we get along quite well despite the whole Zachary incident when I
was younger and I guess that’s that,” he said. She looked
at him and wondered where all this was going and how it had started.
“I should have mentioned my best friend Vince,” he added.
He looked at her and she laughed. She had no idea where all this was
going.
    “ That
is the quickest I have ever got to know anyone,” she said as
she looked at him.
    “ Me
too,” Daniel said. She put her fork down and looked at him.
“So, what now?” he asked.
    She
shrugged as she dabbed a napkin on her mouth.
    “ I
don’t know about you but I am going to chill out by the pool,”
she said. Daniel frowned. “What?” she asked when she
noticed his frown.
    “ You
do know that after meals, you are supposed to take at least an hour
before swimming, right?” he said.
    She
raised an eyebrow. “Yes I know but I didn’t say I am
going to take a dip in the pool. I’m just going to get a tan.”
    He
took a deep breath and put his fork down.
    “ I
have a better idea,” he said as he pushed his seat back from
the table. She looked at him and raised an eyebrow. “Come on,”
he said as he offered his hand to her. She looked up at him and
wondered why she was so trusting of him but for some reason, she just
put her hand in his and stood up.
    “ You
do realize that I have a swim suit on? Right?” she asked.
    “ Don’t
worry, the place we’re going doesn’t really require much
of a dress code,” he said as they started walking towards the
door.
    She
suddenly stopped and looked at him. “Are you taking me to a
nude beach or something?” she asked.
    “ You’re
adorable,” he smiled as they walked out of the restaurant.
    She
could feel her stomach knotting up as they walked through the hotel
lobby. She didn’t know why she was getting all kinds of weird
feelings with him. She could feel the excitement building up as she
walked out of the main doors. She smiled at the doorman as he held
the door open
