"I'm gonna love ya -- and treat ya right,
I'm gonna love ya -- every day and every night."
Like any self-respecting guy, I was standing at the beach bar, watching the girls gyrating to the band's rendition of a number of reggae classics. Jake and Jenna were about the only couple dancing. Most of the other guys were watching the Superbowl final in the hotel's lounge. I guess Jake would have been with them if he hadn't married Jenna the day before, and he had to show that he was the loving husband. Me, I've never found football that compelling, and I was working on my own plan, involving me, one of Jenna's girlfriends and maybe a hot tub. Or at least something else hot and wet.
But it seemed that Jenna had warned all of her friends about me. See, Jenna and me, we had this 'thing' going, a few years back. For reasons best not examined too closely, Jenna ended up with Jake. She still tolerates me because I'm Jake's best buddy, but I guess she thinks of me as bad news, and on this occasion she seemed to have decided that her girlfriends needed to know and to be protected from me. I thought this was a little harsh. They could look after themselves - they were all big girls. Some were very big girls. But none of them showed any interest in anything beyond a little conversation.
So here I was, on the beach, watching a bunch of women dancing in the sand, feeling kinda horny but having to make do with drinking mojitos and just -- well, just watching. As Jenna seemed to have declared all of her girlfriends off limits, I changed my focus to some girls who were with another group. They seemed to be having a good time, and I was having quite a good time watching them.
In the middle of the group there was this hot blonde. She was kinda cute, with long hair in pigtails, big eyes and a turned-up nose. She was wearing a tight halter top that showed off her nice tits and her slim waist, and a skirt that came half-way down her long thighs. She was dancing barefoot, and clearly enjoying herself, smiling and laughing, opening her generous mouth wide. She could certainly dance, and she was surrounded by a group of pretty girls of various shapes and sizes who were all laughing and dancing with her.
"¿Muy bonitas, no?
" Miguel, the entertainment manager, was looking at the same group of girls, and at the blonde in particular. He and I had become drinking buddies since we met at one of the evening entertainment sessions and discussed the band -- and the rather sexy lead singer. He was checking out the quality of the reggae group, in a professional capacity -- and, from what I could see, also checking out the quality of the young women dancing to them, in a personal capacity.
"
Si
", I replied. I thought the blonde was particularly
'bonita
'.
Perhaps she saw us looking at her, because she suddenly called to her buddies, and she and several of them came across to us. "Hey guys, come and dance with us!" she said in an excited voice. Miguel, who is a good dancer, looked at me. I shrugged my shoulders, said
"¿si, como no?"
and followed her onto the dancing area -- hardly a dance floor as it was just part of the beach.
Miguel was soon dancing opposite a nicely-stacked brunette, while I focused on the blonde. I'm not sure if it's against hotel rules for the staff to come on to the guests, but to be fair, the brunette was coming on pretty strong to Miguel, who seemed happy if a little unsure of how far this could go.
Meanwhile, I was making quite a lot of eye contact with the blonde - trying to avoid staring openly at her nice tits - and hoping for some other contact soon.
"Is this love, is this love, is this love, is this love that I'm feeling?"
I guess Bob Marley could have answered his own question. They say that love is something you feel above the waist. What I was feeling wasn't so much love as a familiar hardening of something inside the pants as my new dance partner gyrated sexily to the music. The girls had dragged one or two other guys onto the dance area, so it wasn't quite so obvious that I was trying to come on to the blonde -- or maybe she was coming on to me. Either way, it was an interesting and pleasant experience.
Two more numbers on and she said "I need a drink!"
"I'll buy you one," I replied, which made her smile as it was an all-inclusive resort.
Over a couple of mojitos, and a sexy smile from her, we exchanged a little information.
"You with a wedding group?"
"Yeah!" I replied. "Jake and Jenna over there. They got married yesterday. We go back in two days. You?"
"Oh yeah. The wedding's not until the day after tomorrow - sounds like the same day you're going home - so we're letting our hair down. All the guys are watching the Superbowl final and it's a little boring. But girls just wanna have fun, eh? Where are you from?"
"Toronto. You?"
"Edmonton. It's good to get away from the snow for a while, don't you think?"
"Sure is."
"You dance well."
"Why thank you ma'am," I replied. "You dance pretty well yourself. So what's your name? And are you, like a bridesmaid or just a friend of the bride?"
"How's your Spanish?
