When we’re done, I stretch out on the lounger for more sun. By this time Brianna has gone up to the outdoor shower to wash the salt out of her hair. JC has parked himself on the lounger next to me and is paging through is phone with his hand cupped over the screen. I’m thirsty and want to get something to drink.
“Noah, can I get you something to drink?”
“A beer would be nice.”
“Okay, be right back.”
I slip my shorts over my legs. I forgot my sarong in the car, and I don’t want to upset Noah by walking around with my ass exposed. I nod at JC as I walk away. Brianna is on her way back with some kind of punch in a big red cup. I’m sure it’s alcoholic and that I’ll come back to another argument.
Sure enough, when I do return, they’re at it again. I pull my sunglasses down a little and roll my eyes at Noah. Seriously, I don’t want to listen to their bickering and ask if we can take a walk. He nods and I hand him his beer. There’s a slight breeze and it feels good in the hot sun.
“Lexi, I was thinking about the honeymoon.”
“Oh? What are your thoughts?”
“We shouldn’t go to anything in the Caribbean, it’s hurricane time in October.”
“Where would you like to go?”
“How about Europe or the UK?”
“Really? I’ve never been to either one.”
“You’ll love it. Maybe we can take a tour of the British Isles.”
“How about I leave that up to you. Surprise me.”
“Are you sure?”
“Tell me the week before we go.”
We sit down in the hot sand and I get between Noah’s legs with my back against his chest. This is how I love to spend my day with him. I wish we were alone. He massages my shoulders and I close my eyes. We sit there for over an hour, just enjoying the gentle breeze.
“I’m starving. Can we go back to the house to get some food?”
“Of course. I can’t have my bride hungry.”
What’s so crazy is that nothing has changed since we left. JC and Brianna are still quietly arguing. I let them know that we’re getting some food and they join us. Maybe that will stop them from arguing. It’s close to 4:30 when we come back and there are several trays set up with hot and cold food. The caterer is grilling chicken, burgers and sausage on a large grill, the smell is heavenly.
We start off with salad and work our way up to the heavier stuff. Many tables are set up around the property and we find one in the corner that’s unoccupied. JC and Brianna join us. I hear my name called and turn to see Nikki with her boyfriend for the day. She looks adorable in a short white sundress and flip-flops. Her hair is piled high on her head in a bun. JC’s leering at her doesn’t go unnoticed. The man she’s with is cute but not as handsome as Noah or JC.
“How are you, Alexa?”
“Good. You look nice in your sundress.”
“Thanks, I wasn’t sure if it would be appropriate but judging on all the bikinis here, it’s fine.”
I introduce her to Noah and JC introduces Brianna. It turns out that Nikki knows Brianna from high school. They were one grade apart. They strike up a conversation. I glance at JC and I can see he’s utterly annoyed. Serves him right for marrying a woman seven years younger.
“I have to go to the bathroom, care to join me?” Noah whispers.
“I think once is enough. I promise to make it up to you tomorrow evening.”
He frowns but I know he’s kidding, and he squeezes my shoulder as he walks away. This gives JC the opportunity to sit next to me.
“Are you enjoying yourself?”
“Yes, I’m glad I came.”
