The whole mating ritual had been going splendidly until Salindra had decided she was going to play volleyball. Now the rest of the women sat, sipping their cocktails, while she jumped around the court in her bikini.
Thankfully, not the bikini from the other day. No, this one had a full brief. But it still left nothing to the imagination, and hid only a teeny bit of her magnificent body. Add to that the fact that she could have played volleyball for Australia, and that Billy was cheering her on, and disgruntled was the little brother of my mood.
‘You’ve been working out,’ Mum perched on a stool beside me.
‘Huh?’ I turned from my contemplation of the rise of Salindra’s breasts to face her.
She smacked the back of her hand on my stomach. ‘Your abs. I can see them.’
I shrugged. I’d spent the first two weeks after I’d come back from Las Vegas in a sugar coma, then I’d started going to the gym instead. It had helped take my mind off…
‘Go Sal,’ Billy yelled. ‘Spike it.’ He was sitting at a table on the far side of the court with Harry and Ricardo.
Mum tilted her head to the side and stared at me. ‘And you got a new bikini. Red looks good with your new hair colour. Very dramatic.’
‘I like a lady in red.’
I swung around to the new voice. Alex, wearing only a pair of board shorts and a straw hat, stood behind me. I looked up the long, lean expanse of him to his face. Surfing obviously gave him a good work-out. He had a towel thrown over a shoulder and a cocktail in the other hand, but all I could see were his biceps. ‘May I join you ladies?’
‘Alex.’ Nick yelled out from the volleyball court and waved a hand at him.
Tara smiled and introduced him to the others and then he pulled up another seat and squeezed in between Mum and me.
Billy glared at him from the other side of the court. I didn’t need to be a genius to know what he was thinking. He had told Alex to keep his distance but he had come to flirt with me anyway. I smothered my smile.
‘So,’ Mum said, looking him up and down, ‘what fantasy did you step out of?’
She timed it perfectly. He had just taken a sip of his drink and now some of it spurted back out of his mouth.
‘Hello handsome.’ Martine leant across Mum to squeeze his knee. She smiled and then repositioned herself so that her short sundress showed off her shapely legs.
He looked over at Martine and then threw me a pleading look, but he was exactly what Martine liked in her men and she hadn’t had any fun for a while. I smirked and tossed him to the dogs.
‘Another drink?’ I said to Martine.
‘Me too,’ Mum said.
Elaine and Nat put their hands up and I left Alex there with Mum peppering him with questions and Martine fluttering her long lashes.
I was ordering their drinks when Billy joined me.
