Mark: Good morning, Bianca. Are you having a productive photo shoot? 9:18 AM
Bianca: Good morning. Yes we are! 11:17 AM
Mark: I'm losing my will to live. This conference call is killing me. 11:37 AM
Bianca: Just remember our fun at the Roxy last night… 11:37 AM
Mark: Memories from yesterday are rather vivid in my mind...... I simply ADORE your scent and how your skin feels........ 11:38 AM
Bianca: You too. Funny how we clicked. I couldn't keep my hands off you. 11:42 AM
Mark: And I did not want you to leave yesterday at all.
I would have loved to have spent the night with you.... Waking up by your side and seeing you opening your eyes in the morning would have been a wonderful experience... 11:45 AM
Bianca: I agree. Looking forward to a trip away with you. 11:56 AM
Mark: That will be a dream...I'm checking the dates of my ad board meetings in Europe in Jan and Feb. It'll be great to take you with me. 12:02 PM
Bianca: Yes please! 1:04 PM
Mark: It'd be either Britain or Belgium.
I wish you could have come with me tonight to London to be honest. 1:21 PM
Bianca: I know. Me too. Britain or Belgium, just let me know. 1:30 PM
Mark: One has just been confirmed. The one in Belgium is only on March 22nd. It's been postponed. The one in Britain should be in the next 30 days. 1:36 PM
Bianca: Lovely! 2:15 PM
Mark: You are absolutely stunning, Bianca... Just seeing your photo gave me butterflies.
Seriously! How can you be so pretty?
And darling, the camera loves you. 2:23 PM
Bianca: Thank you baby...we got a lot done at the office today. 3:56 PM
Mark: Great. I'd love to see the result of the photo shoot.
By the way, I'm definitely available on Sunday from 5:30 on. 4:06 PM
Bianca: Looking forward to our rendezvous.
Wish I was on your flight to London this evening, snuggled under the blanket kissing you. 4:10 PM
Mark: Likewise. I'm already dreaming of the two of us in one of the two sitters in first class just kissing and enjoying the champagne. 4:19 PM
Bianca: Soon. 4:20 PM
Mark: One hopes. Still have to pack. Going home in a minute and then dashing to the airport. 4:21 PM
Bianca: No one packed for you? Good luck ✈ 4:25 PM
Mark: Nope. I need to do it and my flight leaves in 3 hours. 4:26 PM
Bianca: You'll make it. 4:26 PM
Mark: On the cab... What a crazy day. Needless to say that the contrast between yesterday and today could not be starker... 5:07 PM
Bianca: Life=Valleys and peaks.... 5:08 PM
Mark: On my way to the airport. I hope I can make it to the plane. A bit of a chaotic day........... Nevertheless, I have many things to be grateful for, including your friendship and the knowledge that I'll see you on Sunday.
Bianca, I was wondering if you have been to Sleep No More? 5:10 PM
Bianca: No darling I haven't. What is it? 5:16 PM
Mark: There are rave reviews about it. I really want to take you there next week. It’s an interactive performance based on Hamlet at the McKittrick Hotel. Here is the link: www.sleepnomorenyc.com. 5:19 PM
Bianca: Looks very cool. 5:21 PM
Mark: If you fancy going, we can go next week...I’d get VIP tickets for us. 5:22 PM
Bianca: Wednesday is good. I’m pretty open next week.
By the way, it's been hard to fully concentrate today thinking about being on top of you last night .... 5:26 PM
Mark: I'm afraid I had a very similar experience. And by the way, you asked me yesterday if I'd be ok meeting your friends. The answer is absolutely. I'd love to. 5:28 PM
Bianca: ☺ I'd love that. 5:31 PM
Mark: I'm enjoying every second of this, Bianca. 5:32 PM
Bianca: Me too. I haven't stopped smiling. 5:32 PM
Mark: Thank you so much for allowing yourself to be yourself while with me. I know the courage that it takes.... 5:33 PM
Bianca: You make it easy. 5:33 PM
Mark: I was thinking to myself today that yesterday's experience was so special that I really do not care as to how our sanctimonious society would perceive us. Some things in life are truly beyond good and evil, and this is one of them. 5:36 PM
Bianca: I agree. That went through my mind as well today. 5:41 PM
Mark: You are fantastic, gorgeous. Truly. You brought a smile to my face all day. 5:47 PM
Bianca: And you to mine. 5:47 PM
Mark: I may miss my flight. 5:59 PM
Bianca: Flight at 8, right? 6:00 PM
Mark: 7:35. I may miss it.......If it is, I'll attribute it to the universe. I did my absolute best to be here on time. 6:02 PM
Bianca: Yes darling. Good luck. Sending you good vibes. 6:02 PM
Mark: Thank you. You saw my diary today...... 6:03 PM
Bianca: I did, you are a very busy man. Everyone wants a little of you because you are brilliant and talented. You offer so much. Sometimes it must get difficult to manage everything. 6:04 PM
Mark: You are most definitely too kind. I am finally (almost) at the airport. 6:10 PM
Bianca: Well done! By the way, I think I need a spa day soon. New York can be so stressful sometimes. 6:33 PM
Mark: Well, we could organise to go to one together.
There are some spas for couples that are not too bad. 6:35 PM
Bianca: That would be nice. 6:36 PM
Mark: So you have a mission. Choose a place and we'll go to on our date after Sleep No More. If you prefer the spa first, it's also your call. 6:36 PM
Bianca: How sweet are you? You get an extra kiss when you're back. 6:38 PM
Mark: Let me know what you'd prefer. I'll get it organised…
I’ll live for Sunday… If my messages are too much, Bianca, please let me know, ok? 6:39 PM
Bianca: No they are not. Not at all. I like you. And I like that you are open with me. I look forward to your messages. 7:08 PM
Mark: One point that I did not have a chance of conveying to you yesterday is that I would love if we could be authentic to ourselves and let our relationship grow organically. While lying on my bed last night, I made a conscious decision that I will just accept my feelings as they are, whatever they are. 7:10 PM
Bianca: I agree. Lets try to stay present. I enjoy every minute with you. 7:11 PM
Mark: I will not come to see you with any preconceptions of what our relationship could and should be
And if my 'gut' feeling is confirmed, it's my responsibility.
I would not ask you to reciprocate or to feel in the same way. 7:11 PM
Bianca: You can't help your feelings. No one can. 7:12 PM
Mark: I just lived in this body for too long not to know what the risks are, and am happy to take them. 7:12 PM
Bianca: It is risky for sure. But life is a beautiful journey. Valleys, peaks and all. I miss you already. 7:13 PM
Mark: I'm just being honest with you and making myself vulnerable. I just ask you one thing: just don't hurt me deliberately, ok?
I miss you dearly… In a rather visceral manner. 7:13 PM
Bianca: I couldn’t ever deliberately hurt you. I care too much. 7:13 PM
Mark: It's an honest and sincere request. 7:14 PM
Bianca: I can’t believe that this time last week, I hadn’t even met you yet. Funny how quickly life can change. I promise you one thing, you will always get honesty and respect from me.
But I also promise you that our connection is mutual and real.
I haven't even taken the time to contemplate the risks. I'm too high on feeling happy at the moment. 7:14 PM
Mark: I'm too analytical not to think about it. But I'm entirely ready to throw caution to the wind and live in the moment.
I have an uncanny feeling that beautiful things will emerge. 7:16 PM
Bianca: I do too. Promise me one thing?
That you will please live for the moment. Happiness is what matters most. 7:17 PM
Mark: Absolutely, Bianca. You do have my word. You are so incredibly special. Taking off soon. I miss you, Bianca. 7:18 PM
Bianca: I miss you too. Have a safe trip. 7:33 PM
Mark: I do too. I adore the tactile sensations that come by touching your skin. Your scent........ 7:35 PM
Bianca: Last night....might have been some of the best sex I've ever had in my life. 7:36 PM
Mark: As I told you, it was the first time I did not feel lonely in years. Years and years. If souls exist, I felt that ours were intertwined yesterday. 7:36 PM
Bianca: Yes yes…And my soul came three times. 7:37 PM
Mark: I like your humor. A lot really. Taking off very soon. I will be counting the minutes till I see you on Sunday! A big kiss. 7:38 PM
Bianca: Yes dear. Let me know when you've arrived safely
Safe journey. Xoxoxoxo, kiss, hugs, and more..... 7:38 PM
Mark: And apologies for the sometimes over sentimental comments. I reckon I may have inherited in my Lusitanian blood a good dose of lyricism in addition to my freckles ❤ 7:40 PM
Bianca: I dig it. 7:42 PM
Mark: :-) kiss ta ta 7:44 PM
Bianca: Kisses baby 7:45 PM
