Once Abbie had caught her breath, she rose and ran naked into the sea. I followed almost immediately, grabbing her and rubbing our wet, sandy bodies together. The swim consisted more of playful teasing and foreplay, touching each other when we got close in the surf. Finally exhausted, I returned to the towels and dropped my tired, aching, over indulged body upon them and closed my eyes. I could feel Abbie lay beside me, covering us with a blanket she had thoughtfully provided.
As we lay comfortable in each other’s arms, I decided that I just had to know. Was this a one-day affair, just for vacation, or could something more long-term come out of it? How would that be possible? She worked here at the resort and I worked in Houston, a very expensive flight away. I just didn’t see how we would be able to work anything out together, and I was heartsick.
“Abbie, have you always been a diving instructor?” I asked, hoping that perhaps she might want more, and want something I could offer.
“No, not always. Why are you asking?”
“I don’t want to lose you, and I have to leave in just two days. Houston seems an eternity from here and from you. I was trying to figure out what we could do.”
“You don’t know?” Abbie asked laughingly. “Does the name Abigail Martin ring any bells with you?”
“Yeah, it does. Let me think why. Oh, now I remember where I know you from. You were my daughter’s second grade teacher a few years back. So what are you doing this far from home?”
“I only work summers here as an instructor. It gives me a chance to work on my tan and to make a little extra money. I also get the chance to get away from children and totally focus on adults for a few months. Come late August, I go back home and get into my teacher’s mode for the kids.”
Wow! We were in the same city for most of the year, at least. Now we actually had a chance to work on a relationship. What if she was only interested in a summer fling, though?
“Could we, would you…” I stammered. Dare I risk ruining the perfect evening with too many questions? “Do you think we might be able to see each other once we get home?”
“I guarantee it.” She continued talking as she slid down my body, placing her chin on my pelvic bone. “Are you ready for another lesson on losing your claustrophobia? Remember it’s all about breathing and taking your mind off the circumstances around you.”
And that was the end of discussion for the rest of the evening. After all, we had breathing exercises to do.
