Westley had never heard of it but he appreciated th romantic feeling that Gabrielle gave him. He was
happy that she did it.
If his wife would want to spice things up from time fo time, he was more than willing to accept it.
"Honey, do you like this kind of surprise?" shyly asked Gabrielle after kissing Westley. She looked at
his face from under her eyelashes. Her cheeks were flushed scarlet.
Gabrielle was feeling a little embarrassed for taking the initiative last night. She was a shy woman.
Doing what she did took a lot of courage.
Gabrielle had always been capable of managing her emotions. And then she fell in love with Westley
and she had broken a number of rules for him.
“Of course, I do. I like your surprises." Looking at her red-hot face, Westley felt ecstatic. He kissed her
cheeks with tenderness.
Gabrielle smiled affectionately at him. She then looked up and saw a camera above her head.
Her face suddenly turned pale. "Honey, what is the camera doing up there?" she asked as her
eyebrows furrowed.
Westley did not act surprised. He knew there was a camera in the room.
“Oh, that, it's been there all the time," Westley answered matter-of-factly.
They were in a cable car. It was a dangerous vehicle so cameras were installed inside to monitor all
the goings-on.
Gabrielle couldn't believe what she just heard. The color drained from her face.
“Westley, you know that there is a camera here? Then ... oh my God! Why didn't you tell me? They
must have seen me kissing you like that!" Gabriel said anxiously. She thought that Westley should
have said something about the camera earlier.
She had just kissed Westley hungrily. If anyone had seen it... Gabrielle could feel blood rushing to her
face, making her cheeks turn red.
Ahhh! a
She felt so embarrassed that she wanted the floor to swallow her up.
“Gabrielle, don't worry," Westley said as he gently put his arms around her.
“Oh, you... you are unbelievable! You should have told me earlier. Oh, why didn't you? I am so
embarrassed!" Gabrielle slid her arms around Westley and buried her face in his neck. She was just
too ashamed to see anyone.
She didn't even want to get off the cable car lest someone would see her.
"I thought you already knew," Westley said in a teasing tone. “Besides, there's nothing to worry about."
"Had I known it... Oh, 1] wouldn't have done what I did..." She felt like an ostrich burying its head in
the sand. She didn't want to raise her head and show her face.
“Look, honey, the camera is turned off. No one saw what you did. So, feel free to do whatever you
want to do with me," Westley said. He had an impish look about him.
He wouldn't let anyone watch him through the camera. No one would dare as he was that important a man.
Gabrielle smiled as she recovered from feeling ashamed.
"Really? Are you serious?" She then raised her head, looking up at Westley with her bright eyes.
"Of course, I am serious," said Westley in his most gentle voice. He tightened his hold on her and she
pressed herself against him.
Gabrielle felt completely relieved as if she had survived a disaster.
"You really should have told me about it. I was so terrified." Gabrielle smiled and gave Westley a pat
on the shoulder.
