 On Vacation Misty stood statuesque as soothing warm water cascaded over every voluptuous curve of her well-honed body, washing away the salty sweat left over from yoga class. Tonight she would dine with her best friend, Gabriella, in the quaint little town of Lahaina. Maui offered the girls a sunny escape from the cold June days in Buenos Aires. The next two weeks would be filled with beautiful beaches, exotic tours, fabulous food, and everything else paradise could provide. “Misty, dear! I’m going downstairs to the bar for a drink so take your time getting ready.” “Okay, Gabriella. I won’t take long.” Misty finished showering, toweled off, and then lay on the bed for a short respite. After what felt like only a few minutes, she was jarred awake by a voice outside the door. “Maid service! Do you need anything?” Misty groggily reached for her cell phone to check the time and then panicked. “No thanks! I don’t need anything,” Misty shouted as she frantically jumped to the floor. I’ve been sleeping for ninety minutes! Gabriella must be worried sick. I’ll send her a text. As she hurriedly threw on some clothes, she wrote, “So sorry Gabby! I fell asleep. I’ll be down in a jiff!” Within a minute she heard a beep with Gabby’s reply: “Take your time. I met the most amazing man.” Oh really? Misty thought. Well, good for her. On her way to the lobby Misty couldn’t help but wonder what Gabriella’s mystery man looked like. Knowing Gabriella, he’s smart as well as attractive. Misty spotted the two as she walked into the bar. As she drew nearer, she stopped dead in her tracks. The strikingly handsome man looked incredibly similar to an old acquaintance she’d had drinks with at this hotel over three years ago. It can’t be. What are the chances of running into him after all these years? Broad shoulders, silky, smooth brown skin, and long, thick black hair. Whoever he was, her old acquaintance was still one of the most magnificent creatures she had ever laid eyes on. His exotic blend of possibly half Hawaiian and maybe half Asian or Polynesian still made him the most intriguing-looking man she had ever known—and the last time she had known him it had been in the biblical sense. Gabriella said, “Oh, Misty, I would like you to meet—” Gabby quickly glanced back at her new acquaintance and said, “I’m sorry, what did you say your name was?” “I didn’t say.” Misty remembered how the man she knew long ago had never divulged his name to her, which in an insidious way had made him all the more intriguing. As she took a seat she studied his every feature before asking, “We’ve met before, haven’t we?” “Possibly. You remind me of someone I met several years ago in this very same bar.” “So you two already know each other?” Gabriella asked. They both nodded without taking their eyes off of each other. The night in his hotel room long ago had been a sexual awakening and was instrumental in setting her free. The thought of that night caused her to cross her legs and pump her right leg up and down vigorously. Now both mentally and physically aroused, she fought the impulse to drag him up to her room and hold him hostage for a repeat performance. If only Gabriella were not here. Bemused, Gabriella stared at the two in disbelief. “So you two really know each other?” “A chance encounter,” Misty said. The man added, “Yes, and what’s the chance of being with two beautiful women this time?” He rose from the table as if sensing it would be best to let the women sort this out in privacy. “I’ll be right back. Please order another round of drinks when our waitress returns and put it on my tab.” When he was gone, Gabby asked, “What’s going on, Misty? There seems to be history between you two.” “Remember me telling you about the man I had an affair with that led to my breakup with Rob? It’s him!” “No way,” Gabriella replied. “So what is his name?” “He never told me. My friend at the time, Becca, referred to him as The Man.” “‘The Man!’ That has a nice ring to it,” Gabriella said. “Then that’s what we’ll call him.” A glassy-eyed Misty said, “Yes, and what a man he turned out to be. I accompanied him that night, to his room. I can still remember him stopping me before we entered and saying, this is no place for little girls. I went in anyway. If there was still any little girl in me I was all big girl when I left.” Now that Misty had confirmed his prowess in the bedroom, Gabriella’s pulse quickened. She had fallen under his spell while waiting for Misty and found him off-the-charts handsome and oozing with charisma. But being the practical one, something began to trouble her. Assuming only one of them could score, which one of them would it be?” “Misty, we need to talk. I’m as enamored with this man as you are, but if we fight for his affections I’m worried one of us will get hurt.” “So what do you suggest we do?” Gabriella thought it over for a moment before saying, “Why don’t we invite him to dinner and see how it all plays out?” “I’m down with that!” Misty said with a mischievous grin. “After all, we are on vacation, so a little adventure is in order.” When The Man returned to the table he said, “Hey, why the long faces? This is my last night on Maui. What do you say we all go get some dinner?” Misty winked at Gabriella as she replied, “Gee, why didn’t we think of that.” On the way out the door Misty said, “Hey, we still don’t know your name. We can’t spend a night on the town with a nameless man. Now come on, give it up.” The Man contemplated long and hard before saying, “Teakie. My given name is Teakie.” The girls looked at each other in astonishment before Misty laughingly blurted out, “Teakie? Oh, how darling, we’re going out with little Teakie tonight!” Misty realized her remark had embarrassed him, so she quickly put her arm around him and patted his chest. “I’m so sorry for laughing. I was just joshing you.” A warm smile spread over his face that showed off his perfect row of sparkling white teeth. “That’s okay. Now you know why I hesitate to give women my name.” The quality of the food at their restaurant was matched by the quality of conversation. After eating a little too much they decided to take a long walk along the beach to walk off dessert. Gabriella found Teakie to be charming, not a charmer. From her past experiences, a man this good-looking had a propensity to be somewhat conceited. She now understood why Misty had trusted him enough to go to his room without even knowing his name. Seeing how well Misty and Teakie were getting along, Gabriella decided that she would not compete for his affections. Now if Teakie chose her on his own without her trying, that might be another story. The girls hung all over Teakie as they climbed the steps to their hotel. The message in their body language was clear: “You’re not going anywhere tonight without one of us, Buddy.” Once in the main lobby, Gabriella reached around Teakie’s back to pinch Misty as she said to Teakie, “Why don’t you sit on that comfy sofa while Misty and I visit the ladies’ room?” Teakie shrugged his shoulders and plopped on the couch. Once safely inside the ladies’ room, Misty asked, “What’s up, Gabby?” “What’s up? Teakie’s penis is what’s up. I accidentally brushed it while we were walking up the stairs. Well okay, maybe not accidentally.” She grinned. “That man is primed and ready for action!” Feeling both excited and a bit silly, Misty said, “So he’s as hard as teak wood?” “Cute, Misty,” Gabriella said. “Why don’t you and I discuss which one of us gets to mount that hardwood and which one retires to the room to be bored out of her mind?” Misty turned on the faucet and splashed some water onto her face. “That’s quite the dilemma, my friend.” Trying to delicately deal with their predicament, the girls spent the next five minutes coming up with reasons why the other should spend the night with Teakie. “Gabby, it’s only fair you get to experience Teakie firsthand. I’ve had my opportunity.” “No, Misty. I could tell during our walk on the beach that you guys have a lot of catching up to do. I should be the one to bow out.” They eventually agreed it was ultimately Teakie’s decision to choose, and the unlucky one would gracefully exile herself to the boredom of their room. Misty hugged her friend tightly. “Now, let’s go let the cards fall where they may.” When they arrived at the couch they panicked. Teakie was nowhere to be found. A pall fell over the girls as the disappointment set in. Misty and Gabby held hands in an attempt to console one another, feeling like brides left standing at the altar. Suddenly, their trance was broken as two powerful arms wrapped around them from behind. A friendly, seductive voice asked, “Why the long faces? Did you get some bad news?” When the girls realized it was Teakie, their moods lifted and each breathed a sigh of relief. Teakie said, “I’ve got an idea. Why don’t we all three go up to my room and get to know each other better?” Giving the girls a little squeeze, he added, “Misty knows what I mean, don’t you Misty?” Misty looked at Gabriella with a twinkle in her eye as she said softly under her breath, “Are you up for it?” Gabriella’s smile indicated she was. When Teakie unlocked the door to his room, Misty took him by the arm and said, “I hope you know this room is only for big boys.” Teakie replied, “You can be the judge of that.” Continues... |
