Now I felt like laughing hysterically. “No, there was a change of plans.”
“Oh,” his eyes popped wide, but he quickly cleared his throat and straightened his shoulders.
“Did you wish to change rooms, sir? We currently have you staying in the Honeymoon Bungalow.”
“No, it’s separate from the hotel, right?”
“Yes, sir. It’s down the beach a little way and has a semi-private beach and private pool.”
“Then that’s what I want.”
“Yes, sir.” He went about checking me in and then gave me a map of the resort and snapped his fingers. A valet appeared beside me with my bags and asked me to follow him.
As we went out the same door that Ms. Black had used, I wondered if I would find her someplace curled up in a ball after having a laughter seizure, but as I followed the man dressed in white Bermuda shorts and an aqua short-sleeve polo shirt, I didn’t see her.
I did, however, notice the bar near the pool, and then a second bar near the second pool, and knew I would be seeing both of them later. The valet took me to my bungalow, and I tried not to think that I should be here with a Mrs. Waterman.
As I thought of that, the laughing woman flashed into my mind, and I chuckled to myself. She had a great laugh. I hadn’t heard anyone laugh that hard in a long time, and it was pretty awesome to hear.
The valet stopped to allow me to open the door and then came in behind me to set down my things. “Do you wish for me to unpack your bags, Mr. Waterman?”
“No, thank you. I can do that.” I pulled a few bills out of my pocket that I’d put there just for this reason earlier and handed him his tip while he bowed slightly to me and told me to call if there was anything I needed.
As the door closed, I glanced around the bungalow. It was made for honeymooners alright. In every corner, there were flat areas and pillows to make beds for sex. I sighed and looked toward the bar.
I made a beeline for it and pulled open the fridge, finding it full of my pre-requested beer and her pre-requested wine coolers. For a snobby woman, she really did have bad taste in alcohol. I pulled out four beers and then closed the fridge.
I headed toward the rear slider and pulled back the screen to step out. I paused and set the beers down so I could kick off my shoes and socks, then I recovered my bottles and headed for the sand.
I was about twenty yards from the water, when I dropped to my ass and set the bottles beside me. I probably should have grabbed a bucket of ice to keep them cool, but it didn’t matter—I didn’t expect them to last very long.
I cracked open the first one and literally guzzled the whole thing the moment it hit my lips. I was just pulling the bottle away when I heard a swish in the sand and glanced to my side to see the laughing woman coming my way, a bucket in her arms with beer bottles peeking out of the top. Damn—was this an apology or was she really a beer woman? Please tell me she’s a beer woman, I almost said out loud.
Orchids & Hurricane Kisses will be out later this summer!
