The young man bent down to pick up another piece of fish and smiled happily at Jill.

"Thank you very much for the reception. I never imagined we would be welcomed so warmly."

"Don't mention it" Jill smiled friendly "Chris and I know how to be gentle and polite, don't we, Chris?"

Chris was eating, then he just smiled at Jill. She realized that he understood that she was teasing him.

"You are lucky, Captain." The red-haired boy said looking at Chris "In a deserted island with a beautiful woman that cooks." Jill looked down embarrassed "This is just a compliment, sir. I'm not flirting, please."

"You couldn't be, Raymond" the girl next to him tapped him on the shoulder "You don't like wo..."

"Jéssica!" Raymond said frowning and laughing afterwards.

"Calm down. Jill and I are not lovers, we do not have any kind of relationship. We're only in this place by accident."

"Really?" Jessica opened her mouth surprise "By the way, I hope we can take you with us captain."

"That would be great, but before facing the sea I need one or two more days to really recover myself. I got hurt yesterday and it still hurts." Chris stretched his body to show her his wound.

"Poor you" Jessica stood up approaching Chris. She placed her hand over his wound. "Don't know much about herbs, but I know of one that can help you with the pain. It anaesthetic. I'll look for it for you."

"I'd feel very grateful."

Jill felt extremely angry at the time. Jessica touched Chris' abdomen and he smiled at the girl. She didn't know if he was flirting with her or just being friendly, but felt deeply annoyed with that situation.

As lately she was feeling closer to that man, seeing another woman next to him made her realize that maybe she felt something more.

Jill got up and began to collect some burned leaves on the ground. Raymond continued eating and Chris and Jessica were still talking.

"But you don't need to worry, I know that tomorrow I will not have much pain."

"I do, if I can help you, why not try?"

"Fine then." Chris nodded.

Jessica helped Chris get up and she walked off towards the woods, while Chris walked to the sea. Jill noticed that she disappeared among the trees and Chris sat on a rock, thoughtfully.

Jill would give anything to know what he was thinking at that moment, so she watched him for a few seconds.

"You like him, don't you?"

Jill bent down quickly to pick up a leaf on the floor, trying to pretend she was not looking at Chris. Then she looked at Raymond and tried to smile.

"Yes. We became good friends."

"That's not the way I'm talking about."

"I don't like him in a different way."

"C'mon, I saw how you looked when Jessica approached him." Raymond smirked.

"Just your impression."

"Nothing better than jealousy to help us admit that we like someone."

Jill shrugged and walked to the sea, away from where Raymond and Chris were to wash her hands and to be alone with her thoughts and her irritation.

She didn't need anyone to tell her how she felt, or to try to explain and define her feelings. Her feelings were confused and she preferred to leave them that way.

After washing her hands, she walked to a tree to sit under it's shadow. She stood there alone watching the waves for sometime, until Chris came over.

"Hey! Let's go to the creek, refresh ourselves and drink some water. I can get my legs wet."

Jill thought about refusing his invitation, but knowing that they would be alone, away from Jessica, made her accept it. On the outside she tried to appear indifferent, but she was smiling deep inside of her. When she got up to walk with him, Jessica appeared running towards them.

'Bloody hell!' Jill thought annoyed.

"I found it! I got the plant. It took me sometime because I needed to find a place to wash it before. But now it's ready, we just need to leave it for a few hours over the wound and I need to watch it." Jessica stopped talking for a few seconds to catch her breath "We need to go somewhere where you can lie down."

"Yes, let's go to the hut." Chris smiled amicably to Jessica before looking at Jill "After this we take our tour, ok?" He winked.

Feeling embarrassed, Jill just shook her head and looked to the other side, hiding the tears that were trying to flow in her eyes. As they walked away towards the hut, Jill let the tears flow free. Tears of sorrow, shame and hatred. She never let anyone see her cry, and before Raymond could approach her, she walked away through the woods with no direction.

Something inside her was hurting. Although everything seemed nonsense, she felt pain. The idea of losing a man she could not have, was umpleasent. Jessica may actually be a better option. Maybe she was like him, she didn't have to marry another man, she was not so moody. Thinking about it made Jill feel even worse. Chris could quickly realize that Jessica was less complicated and take an interest in her. And nothing could stop them from being together, both were free. There would be no obstacles for them.

With that thought, Jill walked far into the woods, far from any sound, far from anything that could remind her that Chris and Jessica were so close and she was touching him at that moment.

It was almost evening when she heard Raymond's voice calling to her at the distance. She ran to the opposite side and hid until she realized the boy gave up and went back. She was not feeling better, she cried all day and she wanted to continue where she was. She knew it would be terrifying to spend the night alone in that place, but found a way to feel more secure. Jill walked over to the other side of the island where there were two other huts, where Chris probably found those tissues.

Although not as clean as the one where she was with Chris, Jill knew she would be safe there. She lay down and waited for the dark to come. All she wanted was loneliness and darkness, and she didn't mind if she had to stay that way forever.

The night had passed without bigger surprises. The sound of the island made her a little afraid, but thanks to last night, she realized that there was nothing to fear. And after crying for a few hours, she fell asleep.

"Jill?"

When she heard her name and felt a hand touch her shoulder, Jill opened her eyes frightened and confused. The morning was coming and Chris was down in front of her with concern in his eyes. He offered his hand for her to get up, but she refused, standing up by herself.

"What are you doing here?

"Never do that again! You do not know how devastated I was."

"Do what?"

"C'mon, Jill. Why you just disappeared? You thought I would not care?"

"I just wanted to be alone. And you cannot walk like this."

"I'm better today. Yesterday I was unable to look for you and Raymond did that for me but when he returned it was too dark, but I was waiting on the morning to be able to look for you myself."

"Waiting? You did not sleep? You need to rest."

"How could I?" He asked irritably "Knowing that you could disappear?"

"I'm fine, I'm here. Disappear in an island? I just wanted sometime by myself, just needed to run away from everything."

"From what?"

"It doesn't matter."

"It does for me" Chris grabbed both her arms and pulled her close. "Are you jealous?"

"Why would I be?"

"Admit it." He smiled sarcastically.

"Stop it, leave me alone. Get out of my way."

"Say the truth." he whispered.

"It'll be easier if you go away, leave me here." Jill tried to push him, but he was stronger. He pulled her even closer.

"Why so much rebelliousness?"

"I'm just being rational."

Chris grabbed her chin tightly and brought her face close to his. Her eyes widened believing that he would kiss her. But instead, he just stared at her in the eyes firmly.

They were so close that their noses touched and Jill could not decipher what he felt or intended to do. When his eyes lowered to her lips, she began to tremble.

"Keep calm" Chris whispered. "I won't do anything."

"Don't"

"You don't want that, do you?"

Jill could not say anything, she was afraid of that closeness and she felt breathless. This time she was the one who looked at his lips.

"Or maybe you want?" Jill said nothing and he continued. "I will not kiss you, Jill. I promised I would not. Any movement in this direction has to come from you, miss. I won't take the risk of seeing you freaking out again. But know, Jill... My answer to you is always yes."

Chris released her gently. Jill looked at him with hatred and desire. She wished he had kissed her, she wished he had embraced her. But he had made it even worse and Jill ran out of the hut towards the beach.

"Where are you going?"

"Washing myself from you." She shouted angrily.

Jessica and Raymond decided to stay two days in Yuhinb before moving in. The two days passed smoothly, but Jill kept away from them all. Always quiet and serious, she prefered to have her meals alone and sometimes she watched them.

While helping Raymond to collect unripe fruits for their trip and to arrange things, Jessica always found opportunities to flirt with Chris. Chris showed himself friendly, helpful but did not seem to match her flirts. Even though Jill felt deeply uncomfortable with the situation. Every time she saw Jessica playing with Chris or smiling at him, she felt the urge to punch her.

Chris had tried to approach Jill a few times, but she treated him coldly. She didn't like seeing Jessica so close to him, and Jill was not the type of woman who kept drawing any man's attention. Jill would never try to compete for his attention, at that time she preferred to be alone.

She could not define what she felt for him, but Jill knew that if she was really falling in love as it seemed, she wouldn't stand to see him paying attention to another woman, Jill would definitely disappear from his life.

Sitting under a tree, looking at the forest and deep in her thoughts, she did not realize that Jessica, Chris and Raymond had walked to the beach. But when she heard voices, she turned to them and she saw a boat.

Jill got up and ran to the beach too. Some men got off the boat, when suddenly, among them, a blonde man wearing a black suit looked at them, greeting them in haughty voice.

"Greetings villagers" The man said wryly.
