I sat behind the wheel of the pontoon boat waiting for my party to arrive. I usually enjoyed giving the scenic river tour. The usual trip was four hours but the party was running late already. I wanted to be some where else, I wanted to be in a bar sucking up some suds. I had caught my girlfriend screwing another guy a month ago.
I would be alone tonight and as big a pain as the girl was, she was company. Life is a real bitch sometimes.
An SUV pulled into the parking area and six girls got out. They started walking my direction and they were carrying coolers and pick nick baskets so I knew this was my party.
I greeted them and helped them stow their gear. When everyone was aboard I showed them the life vest storage then demonstrated how to use one. I had to keep my mind on other things. All of the girls were really good looking. One, a little red head, was absolutely stunning. I got them all seated and started up the engine. I untied the lines and stepped back aboard and latched the gate. We were off. I motored slowly out the channel to the twisty river. I pointed out alligators, and various birds as we went along. When we were in the river I picked up the speed and cruised right along. All the girls wore short shorts and T tops. Little nipples poked bumps in the shirts. My shorts were becoming way too tight.
We got to the area of the river I liked the best. It was beautiful with the river turning and twisting through a forest of cypress trees. Spanish moss hung in swatches from the tree branches. Water lilies bloomed bright white against the dark water. The water extended back as far as one could see between the crowded trees. Cypress knees grew between the trunks of the trees. It would be impossible to travel through the jungle. I gave my regular talk about all the sights of interest identifying trees, plants, birds, and animals we saw. We passed a area where the bank was very steep and rose high above the river. We came to an area where there was a beach and the girls all clamored for me to stop and let them swim. There were no people at the swimming area so I pulled in. I ran the bows up on the beach a little ways and shut the engine down. I showed them where they could swim. I warned them about getting out where the current was swift. I told them how dangerous it was to get out in that current, I explained that the water would push them back up under the trees where the boat could not go. It would be almost impossible to rescue them under those conditions. I told them we would be on our own because cell phones didn't work in the area.
I turned my back while they changed to bathing suits. Very small swim suits. I was afraid to get out of my seat. There was a lot of female flesh on display. I knew I was going to be in trouble, these girls were hot, hot, hot. They were soon in the water and on the beach, tops came off. I tried to keep track of what was going on. I kept counting girls. Suddenly I was one short I jumped to my feet. I searched the area. I was still one short. Maybe she went in the woods to relieve her self. I looked around again and thought I saw a swimmer in the current. I screamed for everyone to get out of the water. I had to start the motor before they listened. One girl, the red head, was climbing up the ladder as I backed off the beach. I screamed at her to pull the ladder aboard. She did as I requested. I backed out of the little cove and looked for the swimmer. I thought I saw a splash along the bank down stream. I yelled at my companion to hang on and shoved the throttle forward. The boat lurched ahead. I screamed at the girl in the boat to get a line out of the front locker. She found the rope and brought it to me. I asked her to get me a life preserver. I tied it on to the rope as I tried to find the swimmer.
Then I saw her, she was under the brush along the bank. She was hanging on a branch. I slammed the throttle ahead and the boat jumped in her direction. I yanked the control back and spun the wheel. I grabbed the line and preserver and rushed to the bow. I could still see her, I threw the preserver to where I thought the current would take it to her. I missed and pulled the rig back. I looked over my shoulder and saw the other girl at the wheel. I screamed, "Can you get me to the right some." She nodded and spun the wheel. I felt the boat kick ahead and got ready to throw again. This time I was on target. The swimmer grabbed the life preserver and hung on for dear life. I looked back. "Can you back us out of here?" She grinned and nodded.
I held the line and watched as the swimmer slowly eased out of the brush. I pulled her hand over hand to the boat. I looked back and yelled, "Out of gear." I dumped the ladder over the side and went down it to get hold of the swimmer. I pulled her to my chest and carried her up on to the deck. I sat her on a seat and checked her out. She appeared to be tired but otherwise in good condition. Her bare breasts with pointy nipples shook my concentration. She said she was alright. I turned and looked at the other girl. She was sitting behind the wheel. She was using the throttle to keep us out of the brush. She was completely nude. She was absolutely gorgeous. Large but perky breasts, large nipples, flat belly, and lush hips. I walked to her and handed her my T shirt. I grinned, "You were superb. I would not have been able to save her with out you." I pulled her to me and kissed her very thoroughly. She grinned at me when I finally let her go.
I looked her in her beautiful green eyes and said "my name is Jack, what is yours." She smiled and put out her hand and touched my lips with her fingers. I felt as if she had touched my soul. She said, "I am Francesca. Francesca Gordon." I smiled, "Please, Please do not leave me with out giving me your number. Please!"
We motored back to the little cove. I rapidly counted heads. Six. I slumped beside Francesca and shed a few tears. I felt her lift my head. She looked in my eyes and kissed me softly on the lips. I felt my toes curl. Wow! I took her little hands in mine, "You were just great little girl, just great. You know boats don't you?"
"My family has always had boats, I am glad I could help." I gazed into those green eyes again and I knew I had lost my heart to this little girl. "Will you help me with the rest of the cruise, I am still shaking over that last deal."
"Sure, just tell me what to do."
We went on up the river and I continued my spiel about the sights and about the history of the area. I kept looking at this girl. At last I took a deep breath and asked her, "Are you married, do you have a boyfriend?"
She smiled, "Not right now, to both questions." I grinned back, "Me too! I volunteer for either job."
She laughed, "I'll think about it."
"Will you go to dinner with me tonight?"
"I will think about it."
I think she saw the disappointment in my face.
"Yes, I would love to have dinner with you to night."
"Where do you live?"
"Right now I live with my parents on Southeast Fort King street. Let me get my purse." She wrote her phone number and the address on the back of a card and gave it to me. She looked at me and asked, "Seven?"
"Make it between seven and seven thirty. I live near Fort McCoy, I have to clean the boat and get it ready for a trip tomorrow. Then I have a few other chores to take care of for the business."
"Do you run the boat every day?"
"No. Only when someone needs to get off, like today, the regular man called in sick. I own three of these boats. Oh! We passed the turn to the ramp. Turn around little girl."
