“Goodbye Eric!” She cuts the call. She looks at her phone for a minute. Then shuts it completely off. “Asshole,” she whispers. She grabs her bag and tosses it back inside. I watch her swish that cute ass by us going downstairs.
“What a fucking douche bag.” Michael grabs another beer. “I told you he’s a hot head.”
“Tell the chef we’re ready for lunch.” I walk off in her direction.
“Where you going?” Gerry grins. “I told you she was a lioness.” He curls his fingers at me.
“I’m going to grab me some fine ass, that’s where; platonic off the table.” I run down the stairs, and find her door is open. “You okay?”
“Yes, I’m sorry about that.” She looks down. “I didn’t realize we were going to be the entertainment for you all.”
“Amelia,” I sigh walking towards her.Shit. I don’t want her to think that. “It’s not like that. Tierra, Andy, Tina, Michael, Marcus, and Gerry, we’re all so close knit, we don’t keep secrets. We’re like family here. They’re accepting you into the family.”
She sniffles looking up holding tears back. “Well I don’t want them to pity me.” I grab her, pulling her into my arms.
“That’s one thing you won’t get. They think he’s a douche!” I love her body against mine. She wraps her fingers around my back, her face is pressed into my chest.
“You’re hot,” she breathes into me. I laugh, I know I am. “No, I mean hot from the sun.” She sniffles a laugh.
“Oh.” I laugh. “Well, damn, guess I need to up my workouts then. Here all this time I felt pretty confident in my body.”
She laughs hard.There’s that beautiful laugh.She’s relaxing back into me,good.
“Well, you definitely have a hot bod, but you know this.”Yeah I do.
I lace our fingers. She looks at them, before looking up at me. “Come on let’s have some lunch. Don’t let him ruin your time.” I refuse to let him ruin my time with her. She nods.
AMELIA
I’m completely embarrassed as we walk out. They’re all looking at me with questions, but not saying anything. The sideboard is covered with trays of food.
Tierra sashays over to me. “Here, take this shot.”
“What is it?” I grin and ask her.
“Does it matter?”
I shrug. “I guess not.” I take the pretty blue glass and toss it back.
She laughs. “It’s a Chuck Norris—you badass little lioness. Gerry’s right: you’re a lioness.” She hugs me. “Forget him. No man should talk to any woman that way.” I nod. She grabs my hand, whooping as she shakes her derriere walking to the sun deck. “We’re here to have fun.” I laugh watching her breaking it down to the music.
I turn around. Gerry is pumping his hips out in a fucking motion, he’s bringing another shot. “Shoot it.” He wraps his arms around my shoulders as he puts the shot to my lips. I toss it back … shaking my head.
“That’s disgusting!” I gasp patting my chest. “What was that?”
Quinton laughs wrapping his arm around my waist. “It called liquid cocaine. Come on, let's eat some lunch before you start shooting anymore shots.” He leads me back to the covered deck, his hands sliding around my stomach and back as he walks. The shots are already warming my tummy.
Andy calls for his wife, “Tierra, bring your beautiful body in here to eat.” Andy grins as he watches her and Gerry grinding on one another—they’re flirtatiously playful.
“Amelia, relax and have fun!” Quinton tells me as he gives me a plate, “Come on. I had the chef prepare you some oysters.”
“Really?” I grin as he smiles at me. There’s surf and turf selections; all sorts of veggie sides and fruits. “This is a crazy amount of food, Mr. Starks.”
He laughs. “When are you going to start calling me Quinton?”
I shrug as I let my fingers run across his lower back. “I don’t know … I will think about it.” I’m being flirtatious, I know it. I know Eric is boiling mad. I know he can’t come home because of work and he has no way of finding me on a yacht headed to the Bahamas.
I follow Quinton to the dining table, scooting all the way down the bench seat. Toni brings me a fresh cosmo. I’ve never drank this much in a day. I hope they don’t suffer from liver disease one day.
