above the hot tub.”
“Well, it’s not right above… but close enough,” he conceded.
“Alright, thanks for letting me know.”
“We couldn’t really see anything. I just wanted to
make sure that you knew about the cameras.”
“I understand. Thanks, John.”
I felt the flush in my cheeks as I headed back down the
corridor. Even though the ship was large, I had come to the conclusion
that we better stick to having sex in our cabin or somewhere offsite. I
made a note to request a schematic of the entire security system from the
engineer. I don’t want any more surprise cameras.
I stopped by to check on Brandon, Jayne, and Brenda.
If they were ready to go, I planned to send them over first. They could
just hang out while the pilot came back for Kate and me.
“Hey there, playboy; where’s the little lady?” was the way
Brandon chose to greet me as I approached them at the bar.
“Wow, someone’s been hitting the liquid courage, huh?” I
responded.
He just smiled from ear to ear as if he knew something that
he shouldn’t. I really don’t want to know.
“Are you guys ready to go for dinner?”
“Sure,” Jayne and Brenda replied.
“Good, the pilot is just finishing the pre-flight check, so
why don’t you guys head over there. When you get to the restaurant, there
is a reservation for five under my name.”
“Anacaona?” Jayne asked.
“Yes, and Brandon, you better lay off the booze until you
get something in your stomach. I don’t want you to have to spend tomorrow
cleaning up the helicopter.”
Brandon rolled his eyes and went back to his Patron and
tonic. “Whatever, Dad.”
Kate
The sun had already set by the time Jack and I arrived at
Anacaona. The flame torches and full moon reflecting off the bay provided
the perfect ambiance for a wonderful dining experience. Jack stopped to
talk to the owner about something. I decided to go ahead and join the
others.
It was immediately obvious that Brandon hadn’t taken Jack’s
advice. He had continued to hit the Patron pretty hard while he waited
for his appetizer.
“Jack said you were getting feisty earlier,” I teased as I
sat down next to him. By the look he shot me, I instantly knew that he
was annoyed about something.
“I’m getting feisty? I think that you and Dad are the
one’s getting a little too feisty. First, you make the tabloids; and now,
you’re doing it in front of the security cameras. Jesus, guys, have some
class,” he replied before slamming the rest of his cocktail.
I’ve got nothing. I placed my napkin in my lap
and took a drink of water. Jayne cleared her throat nervously as Brenda
looked off into the darkness.
“This sure is a beautiful place,” Brenda said after several seconds
of awkward silence.
“Yeah, it’s gorgeous,” I agreed.
“Brandon has a point you know,” Jayne added, steering the
conversation back to the conflict at hand. “If we are all going to get
along and build a business together, you need to have a little bit of
consideration.”
“I’m sorry if I’ve seemed insensitive, but we’re all adults
here. Jack and I were just having some fun. Who installs a camera
right above the hot tub anyway?”
“I still think you guys could use a little more discretion,”
Jayne scoffed.
“Hey, it was your dad’s idea to make love in the Atrium
room, not mine. Maybe he should just cut back on the testosterone shots,”
I added without thinking.
“Testosterone shots?” Jayne questioned, seeming
alarmed. “I was wondering what the hell was wrong with him. Does
his cardiologist know he’s doing that?”
Just then, Jack came walking toward the table, so I didn’t
have to continue being the subject of this interrogation. Thank God!
“What could possibly be wrong when you are sitting in the
midst of paradise?” Jack said looking around at everyone’s facial expressions.
“We’ll discuss it later,” Jayne snapped
“Well, it’s not right above… but close enough,” he conceded.
“Alright, thanks for letting me know.”
