Under the Hawaiian Sun - Love Under Lockdown - Page 8

She’s so hot that it’s distracting me from work right now – something that rarely happens. I didn’t get to be a billionaire lawyer and founder of a large, successful law firm by not being focused on my goals. Yet there is something about her that just completely throws me off my normal game.

I just need to get through the rest of this deposition, then I’ll be free to spend the whole day with her. I tell myself that several times, and it actually helps.

Of course, now I want to hurry the rest of the appointment. I try to force myself to be patient, and to do a good job, but it’s difficult. I think of the time I’ll get to spend with Mary afterwards, and convince myself that that will be my reward for enduring all of this right now. That thought comforts me and I finish the deposition to a great deal of praise from the client.

A few long hours after we first left, we arrive back at the hotel. We are both relaxing by the pool. I have been waiting for this moment all morning. It nearly killed me to have to, but seeing her now is definitely worth it. I have to keep reminding myself not to let myself erect around her, because I don’t want her to see it through my swim trunks. This is both difficult and frustrating.

The bright sun feels warm against my skin. I could spend all day out here. Maybe I will. After all, we deserve it after the good job we did this morning. That reminds me, I should compliment Mary on that. She was of great help to me. I hope my words of praise will make her smile. I’m sure they will.

I lower my sunglasses and check out Mary. She’s in her lounge chair, lying back and soaking up the sun. She looks gorgeous in the bikini that she’s wearing. It shows off all her curves, and it’s driving me out of my mind how good she looks.

I want her even more now than I did earlier. This unstoppable longing for her grows stronger whenever I am with her. It sounds crazy but it’s true. I have big plans for later to try and get closer to her. I hope they work out the way that I want them to.

I put my sunglasses on. She doesn’t seem to notice that I’m watching her. I don’t mean to, but I can’t stop myself from doing it. She’s just so gorgeous. I have seen beautiful women before, but none have ever even come close to her. There’s just something about her.

I have always dreamed of a woman with curves, and she definitely has those. I want to lose myself in every one of them. I need to calm down and distract myself. I have to wait until later. I’m actually excited for what I have planned.

Eventually I start to take notice of the people around us at the pool. The atmosphere out here has me really fucking puzzled. It seems like something weird is going on. People around us have started getting out of the water.

I take off my shades again and notice panicked looks on a lot of their faces. Mary notices this too, and she gives me a confused frown. All I can do is sit up in my chair and shrug at her. I have no idea what’s going on.

As everybody starts to leave, the lifeguard comes around and makes a loud announcement.

“Everyone back to your rooms! We are closing the pool early!”

Mary and I exchange worried glances, then reluctantly gather our things and go up to our floor. Our elevator car is packed with other grumbling guests. We aren’t the only ones upset and disappointed.

I’m more annoyed than she is, I think. I had a whole perfect evening planned. I was going to surprise her with dinner – maybe a bit more romantic than professional, depending on the signals she was giving off – and maybe a walk on the beach after. I wanted to spend more time together and get to know her a little better, outside of a workplace environment. Now this whole pool business has really spoiled the mood. It upset us both, and the dinner would be a waste of time now because neither of us would be able to enjoy it.

I sigh and stretch out on my bed. I close my eyes and pinch the bridge of my nose. I don’t want to get a stress headache because of all this.

After I rest for a few minutes, I’m going to need to call someone and find out what’s going on. Since so many people left early, I have to think there’s more to be upset and worried about than just the pool closing.
