ORTEGA

Being here was about the best and worst kind of torture he could have imagined. There was zero privacy and every time he turned around, someone was there watching him. They obviously believed in partnering up people of the opposite sex in the cabins, but why? How?

Was it because of what Captain Logan said?

How deep was Houghton in the trenches with the man?

Was the ‘Romeo Curse’ still at play and did he have a shot?

Yeah, Jake didn’t have a ‘pen pal’ – he had a gorgeous blonde that slept ten feet from him that was driving him nuts constantly and playing havoc on his emotions. She was so gentle-hearted, so nice; he was actually relieved that people weren’t taking advantage of her and could see it happening in his mind.

Single guys were creeps when it came to girls, and he was one of the biggest ones. He would be lying if he didn’t think about sleeping with Lena at least thirty times a day, but there was something bigger there between them – a tentative bond that he didn’t expect.

He felt protective.

In fact, he was going out of his way to do stupid stuff just to make her smile – and having a hard time accomplishing the task with someone always hanging around.

“C’mon man,” Gideon banged on the bathroom door. “Did you die in there or something? I would ask what you are doing – but I really don’t want your smart mouth to answer that.”

“Hey,” Jake grinned. “Sometimes it just takes a while when you don’t have a magazine to look at.”

“You’re pathetic,” Gideon laughed and walked off – as Jake went back to scrolling on Amazon on his cell phone, trying to surprise Lena.

There were all sorts of dumb girly things with little glittery edges, big puffy hearts, and sentimental garbage, but he didn’t want to give her the wrong idea either. Instead, he wanted something special that would ‘hit home’ in a way she would never suspect. He wanted to see those big brown eyes widen in delight and her lovely smile as she looked at him.

“I’m such an idiot…” he muttered and clicked on the next page before laughing aloud in sheer delight.

“OH MY GOSH SERIOUSLY, ORTEGA?” Gideon hollered, sounding completely uneasy and dismayed. “You… giggle?”

“Hey… it’s your mother. I can’t help it,” Jake yelled – and clicked ‘purchase’ before flushing the commode that hadn’t been used except for a convenient place to hide.

Now, it was just time to wait.
