ANOTHER LOVE STORY

The Dynamos couldn´t have been prouder of themselves; they had improvised a song about cheating, but never letting go. It was the hit of the day and now the trio of girls and, had earned the ability to sing in that bar, whenever they want.

The best part however, was that Donna´s new friend Bill had come back to see her and after what Sam had did to her, the young woman was desperate to forget him. Still, through her hate and dispirit made her blind as she failed to see the look of pure love on Rosie´s face, when she introduced Bill to them.

As promised, Bill took her for another boat ride and it was great fun actually, they dived, talked and Bill even gave her a pearl as a gift and tried to get her mind off the man who had hurt her in the first place. It worked.

Later that night, Donna couldn´t sleep, something was bothering her, but she couldn´t tell if it was the crummy bed, or the wavering sea, but she couldn´t fell sleep. Annoyed then, the young woman decided to get up and look for her brave savior, finding him nowhere to be seen.

Confused, Donna decided to step outside, on the top of the boat, just to find Bill sitting there, looking at the moon, with a longing stare. ''Bill? Is everything all right?'' she asked confused and in response, he smiled at her.

''hey, Donna, couldn´t sleep?'' he asked

''well, the bed is a real crap, so, I couldn´t'' she confessed ''and you? It´s everything all right?''

''you will judge me a very bad person if I tell you'' he said as she sit beside him.

''well… as long as you don´t confess yourself a serial killer, I think I had enough disappointment with men, to judge them bad or good.'' Donna smirked ''so, what´s eating you?''

''first, you can go back to sleep safe, I'm not a serial killer'' he said, making her laugh ''second, I really did come back for you, I was worried and I'm glad I could help you forget the other guy who hurt you, but…''

''But?'' Donna raised an eyebrow ''really Bill, you´re scaring me'' she said

''when I saw you and your friends singing at the bar, I got impressed with one of the girls, with short hair…''

''Rosie? What about her?''

''well… she was cute, I think and when you introduce me to them, I kind of half expected her to join us…'' he said ''…not that I didn´t enjoy your company, you really have the smile that makes the world smile too'' he added.

she laughed. ''aww Bill, is that what this is all about? You fancied Rosie? She´s the most caring person I ever met, sometimes she´s a bit over dramatic, but she´s an amazing person… well, Tanya is a great friend well, she is the one who invented the name 'The Dynamos' to our group'' Donna said ''why didn´t you tell me that before?''

''I thought you might shoot me… or something'' Bill said

''I've never shot a gun before… well, let´s do this, let´s go back to sleep and tomorrow I will introduce you to Rosie… but first you need to take a shower and put on some nice clothes''

''Deal!''

'' and... You have to promise me you´re never going to break her heart, otherwise, it´s me who going to became a serial killer''

''don´t worry Donna, I will never going to hurt her…thank for the help''

''I will do everything for my best friends'' she smiled ''now good night'' with that, Donna got back to bed.

Next day by the morning, while Bill took his much-needed shower, Donna picked out a very nice outfit for him, Rosie was one of her best friends and she wanted her to have the best. On their way back to the village, Donna was telling Bill everything about Rosie, what she liked and what she hated, so he could be 'prepared' when they met.

''so, are you ready?'' the young woman asked as they spot Tanya and Rosie at the market.

''I think so'' Bill took a deep breath

''come on!'' Donna urged, taking his arm and walk toward her girls ''hey guys!''

''Donna!'' Tanya exclaimed as Rosie just stared at them ''are you back already? You had a good time?'' she eyed Bill from up to down.

''I have'' the blond girl smiled ''okay, guys, this is Bill Anderson, Bill, this is my friend Tanya…'' she said and Tanya smiled ''and this is Rosie'' she said

''hi'' he said with a smile

'Hi…'' Rosie was so aware, that she dropped the cake on the floor and in response, Bill bent down and take it and give back to her.

''be careful, if a man see a beautiful young woman like you doing this, they could take it the wrong way'' Bill smiled

''thank…'' Rosie got bright red, not knowing what to say

''so… you want to go and take a walk? See what we might find?'' Bill offered and in response Rosie smiled

''I would love too'' she said

''go, Rosie!'' Donna exclaimed from behind them

''yeah, go girl!'' Tanya said.

''Thanks girls, I will be right back!'' Roie give them a thumb up as she and Bell walk away.

t took a while for Donna and Tanya realize they´re standing still at the middle of the market, watching Rosie and Bill disappear from sight, when suddenly Tanya placed an arm around Donna´s shoulder and smiled.

''let´s have a glass of wine?'' she asked

''you spoke my language'' Donna came to her senses and smiled at her friend ''let´s go eat, I'll get fat, it's the one vice left, when you´re a dead meat!'' Donna said as they make their way back to the bar.

Twenty years later… Bill and Rosie Anderson, as well as their friend Tanya made their way to Kalokairi, to attend Sophie´s wedding. Over the years, that girl had become Bill´s favorite niece and he did everything possible to make her happy.

One day, Rosie asked him, if he regret not been with Donna that night and he said that he loved her, for helping him find his true love and he couldn´t have another way.
