Gabrielle sat on the edge of her bed filing her toe nails as a million thoughts ran through her head. What did she truly want for this guy Mick? Sure, she was attracted to him but not any more than the next guy. Pros :  he was fun and exciting, but other than that she sort of hated him.

There was so much to hate. For example, She didn't remember much from last night but she could recall a few of his drunken bar stories. Most involved bragging about how jealous the wealthy , older white men who came on his charter boat were of him. Jealous Of his youth, his sex life and freedom. But What Mick didn't seem to comprehend was that being the dirt poor, hot pirate type had a shelf life . Just like it did for women. At that thought Gabrielle took pleasure in imagining him trying to tell his stupid bar stories in 30 years when he was penniless and irrelevant. No one would laugh then. People would most likely scooch out of the way.

So why then did she feel the need to somehow police him. It wasn't her responsibility to inform him of his own ignorance. And they were sort of friends at this point. But didn't white male privilege begin with guys like him? What if his carefree attitude, youth and good looks didn't really inspire people, and conversely only made people feel insecure about themselves comparatively? What then? The wealthy men who boarded his charters probably got off the boat feeling entitled and lashed out. It all came down to some weird patriarchal competition. By Mick making these rich old men feel inadequate, someone was certainly suffering the consequences. It was a trickle down effect And she hated it.

As she finished painting her last toe nail red she vowed to destroy Mick. This was war . he had no clue what was coming to him..
