We’re halfway through dinner and Bella still has a sour attitude. I asked her if she preferred to eat in the dining room in the house, or even in one of the cabins below deck, but she insisted we stay.

“How did you like the lobster?” I ask her as she sets her fork down and puts her hands on her full belly.

She holds up a finger as she finishes chewing then swallows down her bite. “Delicious. A little heavy on the parsley but still good.”

I’m surprised she’s admitting to liking something that I planned for her, although, it’s not a compliment meant for me, it’s for the chef.

I pat my mouth with my napkin, then set it on top of the table. “I’ll be sure to let the chef know.”

Serena comes over and offers to take our plates. I don’t acknowledge her, while Bella, on the other hand, glares a warning in her direction. Serena takes notice and lets out a giggle. “Are you two lovebirds having dessert? Possibly something vanilla?” She looks at me with a crooked grin.

She wants to stir trouble and I won’t allow it. Not with my date.

“We’ll be having dessert on the sundeck. Please make sure everything is set and then you may leave for the night.”

“But, Mr. Davis said—”

“I don’t care what he said. You are finished for the night. See yourself off the boat and Mr. Davis will handle your final paycheck.”

“You mean…I’m fired?”

I pick up Bella’s plate and place it on top of my dirty one she’s holding. “Precisely. Goodnight, Serena.”

“Because of her?” Serena spits out in a fit of rage.

“This has nothing to do with Bella. This is due to your lack of professionalism on the job, as well as your poor bedroom skills.”

Serena’s face blares crimson as she stomps her feet like a child. “You know what, Callum, you might be a billionaire with a big dick, but you’re the most selfish asshole I know.” Her hands cup around her mouth, although she speaks loud and clear. “For the record, you never even got me off. You will pay for this. Mark my words.” She storms off in a fury and I shoot Bella a look before she busts out laughing.

“Should have at least made her clean the bathroom first. I imagine she dirtied it while she was lost.” Bella smirks before finishing off her drink.

She’s on her fourth martini of the night and the white of her eyes are now streaked with red.

“Serena,” I call out. She turns around to face me with hope in her eyes. “Since you like to wander into the restrooms, why don’t you clean those before you go?”

Serena snarls in disgust. “You’re kidding, right?”

“Do I look like I’m kidding?”

Once she stomps away, probably cursing me internally, I look at Bella who is laughing hysterically. “Let’s have dessert then get you back to your room. You need sleep.”

“Sleep?” she laughs, “I’m not even tired, besides, the sun just set ten minutes ago.”

I push my chair back and stand, offering her my hand.
