“I didn’t thinkyou would be such a morning person?”
It’s barely dawn. The crew lowers the speedboat into the water. The plan is to hop aboard and do some preliminary exploring as the Oceana gets closer to dock.
The only reason I’m upright is the strength of the coffee that I’m flooding into my veins as fast as I possibly can.
Minato on the other hand looks fresh and energized, raring to go. The bastard.
It’s so unfair that men don’t have to fuss about skincare or serums.
I’d kill for his eyelashes…
“Considering the sun has yet to rise, I’d say that being a night person is more accurate.”
“Ah, insomniac. That I can get onboard with.” I nod toward the horizon where our beacons spot the land mass. “Ready for today’s adventure?”
He looks at me with an intensity that makes me pulse race. I know for a fact we’ve never met, and yet…there’s something about him that’s achingly familiar.
Perhaps he’s another one of the things I’ve forgotten from before last year. If that’s so, then he would have told me that we’ve met before.
I eyeball the seemingly hapless entrepreneur wrestling to put his life vest on. It barely fits across his chest. He’s so tall with an athletic build that rivals a jacked up bear. I have a funny image in my mind that clinging to him would be safer than reaching for a life vest.
I swallow down the bitter thought as I do my last dregs of coffee.
If there’s an upside to this year from hell, it’s that I still have my boat and my crew. And, if I keep entertaining Minato, perhaps I’ll be well-funded for a very long time.
Speaking of entertainment...
I climb into the speedboat. “We’ll have a few hours to explore the island. The reef looks protected. Have you body surfed before?”
A mischievous glint flares in his eyes. “As a matter of fact, I love surfing. I can do it all day.”
My cheeks heat up and cough to cover how flustered he’s just made me. Thankfully, the speedboat motor starts on the first try. “Perfect. Let’s head out and see about some surf time.”
“I’m game for whatever you have planned.”
