"Why do you keep staring at me? Is there something on my face?" Angelo couldn't help asking Isabella because he felt she was acting weird. Ever since he came out of the water, he realized she was acting differently around him.He completely believed that Isabella was head over heels in love with Steve so he did not read any such meaning into her actions. He just felt she was acting really weird. 'Could something have happened to her while he was inside the water?' He thought to himself.Despite Isabella's protests, Angelo took the stick from her and made sure she didn't squat anymore. He ordered her to open her mouth and when she did, he slowly began to brush her teeth.Isabella could feel her heart beating fast. Angelo seemed so focused on what he was doing that Isabella could not help but wonder who the real Angelo was.No man had ever brushed her teeth for her before and Angelo was the last person she expected to do something like that. The fact was that Angelo didn't really need

Isabella realized that Angelo was not thinking about his actions. With her injured arm still raised and her right hand on his shoulder, she lightly kneed him in his crotch.Angelo quickly let go of her and placed his hand on his bulging length which was now throbbing with pain.Isabella ran to the side and picked up Angelo's shirt which she had dropped on the ground. She dusted it and tried to quickly put it on but it was difficult for her because her left hand had been up for too long.Angelo saw her struggling with the shirt and walked away without sparing her another glance. He sat by the rocks feeling angry with himself for losing control and with Isabella for hurting him in such a sensitive part of his body.After finally wearing Angelo's white shirt, Isabella took her panty and bra and tried to wash them with just one hand. When she was done, she took them one after the other and laid on rocks.She noticed that Angelo sat on the floor with a sulky look on his face and recalled

Angelo on the other hand wondered if Isabella would protest if he tried to take off the shirt she was wearing because it was wet. He was wearing only his trouser and couldn't take it off but his upper body was bare.Isabella had refused to come to him even when the rain was directly falling on her. He knew he had been harsh towards her earlier but that was because she kept talking about an issue that was very sensitive to him. After a while of not speaking to each other, Angelo suddenly decided to break the silence. "Your shirt is wet so I'm going to take it off."Isabella just stared at Angelo without a word as he slowly unbuttoned the shirt she was wearing. She closed her eyes because she knew that she was going to be completely naked.However, Angelo did not open all the buttons. He left the last two so Isabella wouldn't be completely naked. After helping her to free her upper body from the shirt, Angelo laid back down and pulled Isabella with him. Isabella realized that Angelo j

Angelo held Isabella's hand and said, "let's go."Isabella began to feel self-conscious because she wasn't wearing anything underneath. She contemplated wearing her panty but thought better of it. She knew it had not been properly washed for days and she would wear it if she had no other choice but now that she was leaving the island, she couldn't bring herself to wear it again.She picked up the knife and placed it with the sticks while telling Angelo that it was meant to help anyone who found him or herself stranded on the island.She said hi to Christy and the two men who were looking at her in surprise. Isabella picked up her bra and panty and threw them inside the sea after which Angelo helped her get on the yacht.Christy tried her best to sound polite and said, "it's good to see you alive Isabella.""I guess I should thank you for coming to save Angelo and me" Isabella replied.The younger man wondered if something was wrong with Angelo. Isabella looked unkempt, her hair was d

Angelo explained how he first woke up on the island and thought he was the only one who survived and how he turned to the other part of the island in hopes of finding a ship or food. In the end, he found Isabella on top of a coconut tree.He also spoke about how they ate only coconuts and how frustrated it made them feel, how he wanted to go into the forest to hunt but Isabella wouldn't let him, and how he caught two fishes and ended up burning them.He further spoke about how challenging it was to brush their teeth and how Isabella almost drowned. How it rained heavily at night and they were forced to keep each other warm while sleeping on wet palm fronds.Christy felt her heart skip a beat as she believed that Angelo must have had sex with Isabella in order to keep warm. That explained why they had become so close.She couldn't help but blame herself for pushing Isabella off the cliff. In the end, her actions brought the two enemies closer and now they seemed inseparable.Angelo las
