I almost dropped my kava when I saw Winston across the lagoon fishing shirtless. This guy… He’s already infiltrated my system. I don’t know if it’s because he had skills, or I was desperate after 18 months, but whatever the case, I needed an encore.
I dashed upstairs and changed into a bathing suit to swim to him. He’d seen me naked, but he still ain’t ready for the two-piece. Besides, I didn’t want him to know how I excited I was. Maybe he’d assume I was already going for a swim and just happened to notice him.
He stood there, smug, like he’d been expecting me. That victorious smirk made me wish I would have just yelled his name out the window and made him come to me. But then he’d know how eager I was. Whatever! He was just as eager! I mean, who goes fishing half naked on the other side of town in front of their friends’ house? He was doing the most, not me. But I played along…for a few minutes.
I asked if that was a good fishing spot, fully expecting him to draw out this charade, pointing out all the best fishing spots in Sulani. But he didn’t. He said the spot was terrible, but it was the only one in plain sight of my land-facing windows. Y’aaaalllllll…
I suggested we get out of the heat.
We made it inside just fine, but he was on me like sunscreen as soon as I shut the door.
I’m in deep trouble.
