Chapter 6
I imagined dramatic music playing as a narrator with a deep voice, like he had a pack a day habit, announced my arrival at dinner. Maybe that would be the case or maybe they’d just come back from commercial break with me at the table. Whatever the case, I was the first one at dinner.
The setting was beautiful, as everything on this trip had been. The table was made of bamboo and sat on a wooden platform between the lush grassy courtyard and the white sandy beach. The sky was painted a deep purple melded with orange as the sun set over the water. Again I couldn’t believe how fresh the air was, it was cleaner than any air I had ever breathed. I didn’t know if I’d be able to return to normal society after this.
I looked up as Cookie walked over to join me, she was dressed in a low cut red dress that showed off every asset she had.
With my confessional in mind the deep voiced narrator popped up in my head again. “Here comes Amy’s arch-enemy Cookie. Will her body get the attention of Ace or will Amy’s naïve charm take the night?”
Then they’d flash to Ace in his confessional. “You know Amy was a super sweet girl, but man look at those cans!”
I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t say cans, but the thought still made me giggle.
“What’s so funny?” Cookie asked, taking a seat directly across from me.
“Nothing,” I said, hiding my smile. “I was just thinking about something funny my friend from home said.”
“Oh well that’s nice,” she said, giving me a half smile. I wondered what was going on behind those doe like eyes of hers.
I didn’t have much time to contemplate it because Ace came strutting through the courtyard, wearing a white cabana shirt and slacks. I’d never seen the famous billionaire this dressed down and damn, he looked good.
“Hello ladies,” he said, taking a seat next to us. “I hope you both have your appetite. It’s surf and turf tonight.”
“What’s that?” Cookie asked. I rolled my eyes.
“Steak and lobster,” Ace said.
“Oh, I don’t eat meat,” Cookie said. “It’s murder.”
Ace looked like he’d just sniffed a horrible fart. “No meat?”
“None at all,” she said. “I tried to go vegan but it was hard to give up low fat cream cheese.”
After his momentary slip-up he regained his composure and smiled. “Well then we’ll have the waiter bring you a salad my dear.”
“Can I have some broccoli too?”
“Nonsense, that gives you gas.” Ace lifted his hand and signaled for a waiter who appeared out of nowhere. Seriously, where did that guy come from? He just appeared out of the darkness.
“Gas?” Cookie said, her expression shifting to confusion.
I snickered at the comment drawing a look from both. “Sorry, it just sounded funny.”
Dinner was delicious and the waiter kept refilling our wine glasses. I began to feel light headed and the beach started to spin. I cursed myself for drinking so much, but it was the finest wine I’d ever had.
