(One Month Later)
Jason’s POV
"Bro you ready for this trip man"? "St.Maarten! awesome man I heard that the casino’s there are great and the night life is as hot as the women". "I can’t wait to get there for some sunshine and relaxation". "Hey Brad you coming right"?" Would not miss it for the world Dean, can’t wait to get my hands on some Caribbean assets, get it assssetsss hahahahahahah"! Knock it of you guys get serious. Brand and Dean my best friends, we did everything that we possibly could together and our Bro-cations were legendary in its own right. We lit up the town in any and every country we set out to explore. We have been to the Caribbean before the wild times we spent in Jamaica five years ago was a blast, I am excited about this trip to St.Maarten with the guys. Hey Jason you ready to go man the limo’s is downstairs. Yeah I’m ready let’s do it!
The Limo pulled up on the airstrip the jet was ready and waiting. Good Morning Mr. Fitzpatrick we are ready for you sir. Thanks Gerald let get moving shall we. We boarded the plane and got comfortable for our flight." Ha ha ha no turning back now boys were on our way" Brad said grinning like a happy monkey. I smiled seeing how excited he was, and as the plane took off I wondered what adventures waited for me in the Indies. Would you like a drink Mr. Fitzpatrick? Scotch with ice please Annie, Right away sir. "Hey Jason so what’s the plan when we land"? "We’re going out right"? Dean looked at me with eyebrows raised. Don’t worry man everything is taken care of and under control. When we land we have a rental meeting us at the airport, and the VIP agency will take care of our luggage. We will head for the capital and hit a bar or something. Yes!!! That is what I had in mind bro Rum punch here I come ha ha. Seven hours later I woke up to the pilot on the intercom saying we were about to land ”welcome to St.Maarten everyone I hope you enjoyed your flight today, and I hope you enjoy your stay”. Whoa hoe we have arrived boys we worked hard now it’s time to play harder. I looked out the window while the plane circled to land. The island looked beautiful from up here,I could see white sand beaches, rolling hills, and beautiful modern buildings.
When we got off the plane the VIP car service I hired was there. Good afternoon sir my name is Casten but everyone calls me Cass I will be your driver for the duration of your trip just tell me where you want to go and I will take you.It is a pleasure to meet you Cass I’m sure you’re the best at what you do or else the company would not have sent you, I’m sure we will have a great time. I turned around looked at Dean and Brad and said, you guys sure you don’t want to just go to the villa and take a nap? Ha ha the look on Brad and Deans face when I said that was priceless. "What"! "Hell no bro, in fact get in the car let get out of here". Where would you like me to take you sir? Well I feel kind of adventurous today and I am hungry do you know any good local restaurants in Philipsburg? That’s the name of the capital right Cass? Yes sir it is and I know just the place to take you. Hey hey hey wait a minute there Cass does this place have Rum? Yes sir of course, you’re in the Islands sir rum is around every corner. Now that’s what I like to hear let get going shall we.
We jumped into the Hummer and headed for Philipsburg. So Cass where is the first stop? Well sir it’s a famous local restaurant right on the waterfront in the center of town called Barefoot Terrace. Barefoot! Wait does that mean we have to eat barefoot at the restaurant? Brad asked looking like he was about catch some weird disease if he had to eat without shoes. Ha ha no sir you don’t but you can if you like since its right on the beach. Beach! Yes! okay Cass you’re the man. I laughed to myself seeing how much fun we were already having and we just got here three young single American males in paradise this will be one hell of a trip I could feel it.
As the car drove through the island we took in the sights, we saw some of the casino’s my dad told us about there were so many of them I felt like I was in Vegas after a while. The island looked intriguing so far and I could not wait to find out what else it had to offer.
We got in to Philipsburg and Cass took us to Front Street. There were many people in the street. I noticed local dancers in colorful costumes performing on the side of a casino. We passed several jewelry and clothing stores and. Cass told us everything was duty free jewelry, alcohol, and women ha ha ha. Cass told us we had arrived to our destination a few minutes later. He said we were on The Boardwalk, a busy strip right on the beach filled with lots of shops restaurants and bars. Brad and Dean were jumping out of their shoes with excitement when they heard him explain it. The restaurant stood in the middle of the boardwalk it seemed busy. Mostly every table was full in the restaurant. The place was painted in bright festive colors with scenery of tropical animals painted along the sides. Music filled the air and people walking around would stop and dance to the caribbean beat. Cass walked in ahead of us and went to talk to a white man with salt and pepper hair and no shoes on his feet. They walked over to us and the man introduced himself. Good afternoon gentlemen I’m Mr. Evril Anderson I’m the owner of this fine establishment and I have prepared the best tables in the house for you so please come this way. We introduced ourselves and followed him into the restaurant where he took us to a large table on an outside patio. The inside of the restaurant was just as festive. Large fans stood above providing cool air in the hot weather, wait staff wore bright colored t-shirts and welcomed guest with a smile. The view of the ocean looked wonderful it made me want to go and take a dip. The water was clear and as blue as the color of my eyes. The boardwalk had tourist walking around, and sunbathing on the beach. I took it all in a soft voice brought me out of my daze. Good day gentlemen my name is Kiara, welcome to Barefoot Terrace I will be your server today can I start you off with anything to drink?" Kiaraaaa that sound so sexy hi there I’m Brad and these are my two friends Jason and Dean". I chuckled to myself we had just arrived here and Brad was already on the prowl. Give it a rest Brad let the young lady do her job." What!just saying hi to the beautiful Kiara,I did not say anything wrong did I". Yeah sure, I jumped in to order my drink before brad could say another word. I’ll have rum and coke please Kiara; I’ll have the same Dean said when she looked his way. Just make that three rum and cokes Kiara thanks. Great I’ll get that for you. Brad Brad you never cease to amaze me. "Who me?" What did I do ha ha", he laughed to himself knowing full well what I meant. The waitress Kiara handed us menus to look over while we waited for our drinks, which came a few minutes later. The menu looked interesting with a variety of creole dishes to try , but I decided to play it safe and ordered the stew chicken with rice because I knew what they booth were. After Kiara took our orders we sat there sipping our drinks and having a good chat. I turned to look the crowd of dinners over to see if the place had some interesting female vacationers, when I glimpsed a tall slender figure walk in the back of the restaurant. I pulled my chair closer so I could get a better look at the object that seemed to peek my interest. Then I saw her she talked to one of the staff at the bar. She was beautiful her skin was as dark as ebony, with large brown eyes and a smile even from where I sat shined brighter than the rays of the sun. I had seen many black women before and even went out with a few but none that looked like her. I knew I had to meet her, I had to have her.
