A good day. A bad week. And a beer.
My current girlfriend, Leila was moping about the wharf when I finished cleaning a client's boat. I was happy to see her, but wondered why she was down.
After a little cuddle she said she needed some sea, sun and sand. I was a little taken aback because that was all we usually did. Going to the beach, I mean.
I decided to take her out to dinner. Might cheer her up, I thought. But no! Not that, she told me. She asked me to take her to the Dolphin Hotel. Jan, her friend was there, she said. I decided I could do with a beer anyway.
We wandered into the hotel bar and we immediately spied Jan and Steve, Bob and Julie, and some other guy who was eyeing Leila off. I gave him a look as I said hi to the others. I tried to make my look say back off, but it didn't seem to faze him. Maybe I need to practice my looks.
Damn it. Jan seemed very keen to introduce this guy to Leila. Todd was his name. When it was my turn he tried to break my fingers. I gave him a look that said do that again and I'll break your head. Didn't seem to work though. He pulled a stool up for Leila and sandwiched her between himself and Jan.
I listened from behind Leila as the gang started talking about a boat trip out to the little island that boaters called 'lover's island'. Sailors called it something else, but I forget the name.
To get to the point, Bob had hired a cabin cruiser for the coming weekend. They told me to meet them at the quay at 6 am on Saturday morning. Which I did. Of course they told me that Leila would be there so I didn't have to pick her up.
I noticed Todd was there without a girl. So that proved to me that Todd was trying to move in on my girl. And I thought Jan was trying to help him.
It was the start of a beautiful weekend. Sun and sea. Sand to come later. Todd took over the controls from Bob and started to show off to Leila. I went up to the cockpit and asked Leila if she wanted to sun bake on the forward section with me. She followed me to the front of the boat where Jan and Steve had already staked out their spot. Jan was topless, and encouraged Leila to remove her top.
Well there we were. Jan and Leila lying side by side, perky boobs pointed at the sky with all the males on the boat with a woody. It was a wonder that Todd found the island, the amount of time he was ogling Leila.
We arrived off the long beach and stared at the breakers. There were rocks in there, and I wondered if Todd could make it through. I supposed he could if he could find the island without looking. He seemed to hesitate for a moment, lining up the swell over the gap. Good boy I thought, but then he hesitated to long, and as he gunned the motor, to late, I yelled, "You won't make it."
Jan turned to me and said "Shut up. He knows what he's doing."
As the rocks gouged a big chunk of fiberglass out of the bottom of the boat I asked Jan to repeat what she said. All she said this time was "Shut up."
Todd did manage to get the boat beached before we sank.
We all climbed down onto the sand and stood in silence as the boat leaned to the side exposing a six foot long gouge that turned the boat into a beach fixture. The group stood around Todd as if he was wearing the gouge. I just thought he was an idiot.
We salvaged all our stuff from the boat, I mean beach fixture, and decided to set up a camp. Todd went back to the boat to get the radio. You guessed it. Butter fingers dropped it over the side. Salt water does wonderful things to electronics. None of them good.
We spent some time swimming. A lot of time swimming. I had the only spear gun so we had five lovely looking fish for dinner that night. The rest of us had sandwiches. I did all the work, except the cooking, and I get bloody sandwiches.
That night Leila let me cuddle her a bit. She didn't seem interested much. Kept looking over at Todd. I thought I'd give it one more try. I cupped both her breasts from behind and teased her nipples. She squirmed for a while, but then one thing led to another. We ended up making love.
