Eric stoops in front of me. “I was mad. I shouldn’t have said that to you.” I really don’t care what he says. He reaches up to touch my lip, but I jerk my head away.
“Amelia, stop being like that,” Eric warns. I just turn my cheek to him.
“How do you expect me to act Eric?” I look at him. “You busted my lip acting like a complete idiot this morning.”
He drops his head. “I didn’t think you would hit your face.”
“What did you think would happen when you pulled someone feet first off a bed?”
“Look, I said I was sorry. You’re just going to have to accept my apology.” He reaches in his pocket. “I got you this ring. I hope you will wear it.”
I looked at the diamond and sapphire band and then at him.Sapphires—really! He does this every time he knows he royally fucked up and crossed some imaginary line in his head.
“Why diamond and sapphires?”
“You’ve worn those earrings since you got them. I thought you must like them, figured you would wear a ring that matches.” He takes the ring out and slips it on my ring finger. “You refuse to wear a wedding ring. This works.” I sit staring at the ring as he walks off. It's just another shackle to suck any remaining life or hope way—kill me now!
We don’t speak the rest of the day. I’m just waiting for Tuesday to come and go. I get to talk to Quinton. Then Eric will be flying out and I’ll be going to my unknown destination.
QUINTON
“Tierra wanted to hit the dance scene.” Andy grins as we’re sitting at my VIP table. “She has a friend she’s bringing.” I roll my eyes.
“I don’t fuck models, Andy.” I troll the floor as I tap my fingers across the table to the music. “However, I don’t know if I should go on a four-night voyage with Amelia with a loaded cock. It might make me a horn dog.”
“I don’t think you need to fuck anyone.” Michael sips his beer. I look at him. “You’re about to go away with Amelia. Do you really want to have that tainted shit on your conscience, if something does happen?”
I look across the floor. “I know you’re right … but my fucking balls are going to be blue, if I don’t get some action on this trip.” I sound like a horn dog.
They laugh at me as I see Tierra and her friend walking our way. She’s a model, all legs, and blonde kinky curls. They practically could be twins in the face. “Shit,” I growl as I look at Michael. I down my drink. Maria brings me another gin on the rocks.
“Ladies.” I grin, looking at her friend’s tits. I hate fake tits.
“Meet Tara.” Tierra grins, sliding in next to Andy.
“Tara, what would you like to drink?” I’m totally not fucking her. Michael’s right. Shit, I feel guilty just having drinks.
“Shots,” Tierra answers. “We met on the swimsuit shoot.” I start looking out over the floor as she’s grinning.
“Andy tell you what we’re doing Wednesday?” I yell over the music. Maria brings our shots. I grab a tequila.
“No, what?” She’s already dancing in her seat. I pass Andy and Michael a shot. Tara grabs the last one.
“Shoot.” We all toss the shots and bite the lime. I start dancing my shoulders. “We’re cruising on my party yacht, heading towards the Bahamas. Coming back Sunday.”
“That sounds absolutely fabulous.” Tara grins, throwing her tequila shot. I look at her, shaking my head.
Tierra is dancing in the seat. “That sounds good.”
“Amelia’s coming with me.” I toss another drink that Maria brought. Tierra starts grinning, looking at Andy. Andy nods, confirming.
“Fuck me! What happened while I was in Hawaii?”
I laugh, grabbing her by the hand. “Come on doll, dance with me.” I take Tierra and we start to dance; rubbing and grinding to the beat of the music. “Get rid of your friend, not interested,” I yell over the music.
She grins, turning her back into my chest. We start to sway and I close my eyes. “Help me get Amelia to open up.”
“I got you covered babe; she’s totally into you anyway.” I grin as I wrap my arms around Tierra tighter.
