I watch you both, your teasing tone and exaggerated dramatics and her, trying so hard to be angry with you and pout. It isn’t working well, for Mia at least. She’s trying so hard to be angry with you but laughing the whole time. This banter makes me smile, watching the two of you is so sweet. So playful and carefree, and I can see the love in both of her face and yours. My smile only fading when your words finally sink in. Travel? I hadn’t planned on travelling? I thought you had an office and worked from there? The flying is there, that dread of doing so but dinners? Motels? I had no idea. Crap!
Mia can see the panic in my eyes and teases me for it. I manage to laugh it off, rubbing a palm to my thigh, a nervous gesture I do. A tell tale give away, but thankfully no one seems to notice. I follow her lead, doing as instructed and untying the sail from the, mast? Is this a mast? I am so clueless here, I really don’t belong here with you and her, and definitely not on a boat. I work the ties quickly at least, not causing any issues or hold up, a small victory… isn’t it? I smile a bit easier, proud of myself for this small feat. Having never done any of this, I am happy just to be ON board and not in the ocean from clumsy me falling off.
What am I going to do though? Travel? Shit… Oh! Shoot! Dang it, shoot, not shit. Sighing heavily at myself, it’s Mia’s words that bring me back to the present and I nod. “Sure.. I can do that.” Watching her vanish down the stairs to who knows where, I glance up to see you are working to turn this boat around and head inland. Your head up and eyes on the sails, lets me watch you without you noticing that I am. The shift of wind pressing your shirt to your chest, I can see the hard lines of your torso and a expanse of bared abdomen suggests that you don’t have a tan line? At least not up where your shorts sit.
So… I am going to be stuck with you in random locations, doing fancy dinner meetings and hotel shuffles?
OH BOY.
Flushed, I tear my eyes away and work on picking up our towels, lotion bottle, water bottles, flipflops and whatever else is laying about and cramming it into the beach bag. I kind of want to go back to the towel and your hands, the lotion bottle in my hand is causing recall of that feeling and whatever is on my mind isn’t matching the response from my body. Nope. Goosebumps and perky nipples are so not listening to chastising mind what so ever. Mia thinks I am lucky, but am I? I am torn with that thought too. I don’t WANT to think anything but mission. Get proof, get the right man! My mother has been drinking herself into a self-pitying grave for.. eighteen years? Nineteen? I’ve lost count.
Crap! How am I going to pull off dinner dates. Travelling? I don’t even have a passport! Hopefully none of these travels take us outside of the country. Hotels… Alone with HIM?! I glance back to you again, catch your eye and easy smile, I am not sure if I heard you right over the noise of the flapping sail but I think you called me over? Bag in hands, it is pushed into a cubby and door shut before I approach you at the wheel, “Did you call me, Mr. Harris?” I ask in a loud enough voice to be heard, trying at least to sound more confident. I am NOT a meek girl, I am just out of my element… for now.
