towards him and took some shots hoping he would not notice that she had focused on him. Spontaneously was doing the same thing from another angle.
‘It’s not polite to take pictures of someone you know, if you haven’t asked their permission’ Gregor said in a low voice.
‘Sorry, I have no intention of publicizing them, I will give them to you when their printed. I just couldn’t pass up perfect photogene!’
At hearing this, Cassandra gave out a sigh of relief thinking ‘ Thank God he didn’t see me! ’
She had thought this too soon though because at that moment she heard his voice.
‘How about you Cassandra? Will you give me your pictures as well or will you post them in a magazine?’
Turning blush Cassandra answered.
‘Of course not, absolutely not! I am a professional. I take pictures of everything and everyone all the time but that doesn’t mean I go ahead to invade their privacy. You can have all of them once they are printed. I have never made public anything that I didn’t have permission to’ she said in a very serious and sort of offended voice.
Rebecca on the other hand went closer to Gregor and spoke once more.
‘Would you like to sit with me and have a snack? I’m a little hungry.’
‘Yes, of course, I am not hungry but I never give up the chance to accompany a lovely woman. Over there, near the bank, let’s sit there’ Gregor said.
The river bank was only a few meters from where they all were so from that point he could see each one of them.
‘Would anyone else like to join us?’ he asked.
Rebecca was annoyed at this. She really wanted to be alone with Gregor even if it was for a moment. She didn’t show her frustration she was too proud.
‘Yes!’ called out Sam. ‘We’re done up here. By the river I could take some nice shots of the trout.’
‘Sam, you are not taking off your clothes!’ Sarah affirmed.
‘Now Sarah love, you know I love underwater photography so just watch me!’
Sam started taking off his clothes.
‘Close your eyes ladies’ he joked as he took off his pants.
All of them were gathered at the bank and Sam started taking pictures with out any intention of taking in a snack. As he got into the water waste high he spoke again.
‘It’s bloody freezing in here!’
‘Perhaps it’s best you took pictures from where you are?’ said Gregor.
‘Perhaps you’re right, friend’ answered Sam as he shivered in his shorts.
The girls wandered near by taking shots of the wilderness although Rebecca stayed as close as she could to Gregor. He noticed this and let it be so.
‘May I see your camera?’ he asked.
‘Why yes, you may.’
She sat on the edge of the river and through pebbles into the water.
‘I meant if you could please show it to me how it works.’ He sat next to her.
‘I would be happy!’ she said with a grand smile on her face.
Gregor could feel everything she was feeling, he was sensitive like that. He felt her heart pounding rapidly, her adrenaline climbing to all limits. He felt for her and was compassionate. After all, they have been like one, since he drank of her. Only, she did not know that.
Cassandra and Sarah were thirty meters away shooting pictures of a family of squirrels. They had captured the girls’ attention as they played merrily amongst the branches.
‘Can you continue here please?’ asked Sarah. ‘I would like to take a few shots of my silly fiancée in the river!’
‘Sure, I’ll take care of this side’ Cassandra replied.
They all did their own thing happily as the hours passed quickly.
‘Tell me, are you originally from England?’ Gregor asked Rebecca.
‘Actually, I am from a small village far from the capital called Fobbing. We moved to London when it was time for me to go to college. I now live very close to
