Perfection

Hunting Season

Kayla sat with her mother and father at their regular table at dutch bottle,nodding, smiling keeping the light charming conversation going. The young business men were pouring in as they usually did at this hour and it was easy to see which ones simply admired the view and which ones wanted to walk over and leave their mates.

Attired simply in the whisp like dress,and giving the illusion of the fragile and simpering irish virgin, Kayla moved the locks of hair from her face with the look of mild annoyance and continued to engage in the current topic of her charity work while on break from Oxford.
Knowing that they were seated where everyone could see her from all angles she brushed at and tucked her hair once more knowing it wouldn't stay. Her father and mother were not pleased with the offers they received so far for their little angel, so the fishing outing was planned and the bait was set out.

There was a CEO of a tec company who was smitten with her mind, a tennis player who admired her form, a pilot who also admired her "form", then their were the trust fund babies who absolutely adored her blood line. But daddy dug into all their pasts and one by one they were brushed aside like the famous coke sniffing pilot who didn't seem so famous anymore with that tid bit of habit hiding in his shadows and the rich babies whose pockets werent deep enough to hide that they secretly slept with men.

It didn't seem right thinking of it as fishing so smiling she raised her manicured hand and signaled for the waiter. With a full glass again Kayla reached over and toughed her parents cheeks and whispered for their ears alone " I believe hunting season is fast approaching." The act to onlookers seemed so innocent and the words simple enough to ignore if they were heard.

With a laugh threatening to slip free her parents squeezed her hand, but before either could say much more a young waiter serving for another table came over.
" Mr. Vaughn would like to request a few minutes of your time, if you can allow it he assures you won't regret it."

Giving his winning smile he allowed the waiter to give his response and waved the young man over when he raised himself.
As he took his time readjusting his buttons on his suit her mother drank and smiled at her husband when he said " Sarah love it looks as if its open season, you should ready my gun."

And indeed he didn't take up much time after asking for an afternoon with their daughter, accepting when he was told it would be on their grounds with her guards remaining for the entire walk. The private meeting would be after the walk and unknown to him there would be no walk if he didn't check out when Andy ran him first and the date would end there if Kayla was less than impressed even if his records were sparkling.

He left with the men he came in with and after a few moments the same process was repeated with Mr.Jones then Mr. O'Dell closed it off. Pleased by the progress so far they left and while her parents were dropped off at their home, Kayla didn't stay but got out of the range rover and into the tiny white bug, put the top down and zipped off down the twirling roads she just traveled to reach the top of the hill.
With just a passing taught to the speed limit she hit the town barely in control of her movements. Each delicate step taking her closer to the boutique she zeroed in on. The joy on her face shined through as she looked around and saw no one but her favourite salesgirl.

Not having time to browse she showed Nadine the image of the skimpy bikini they sent to her and went to strip while Nadine found the set and ended her shift.
It was just one more step and she would be in open waters until it was time for dinner.
Her parents loved her and that's all that mattered at the end. They required great things from her and they never let her down and gave her everything she deserved, earned and even rewarded her hard works and efforts. Men were a different story, she knew what they were capable of and had enough heartaches to know to trust her parents when it came to help finding one that wasn't the next tiger woods with a brighter smile.

The sun beat down on everything it touched and tried to burn their pale skins as they Stretched out on the deck of the boat while it made its crazy turns on the water caused by its equally crazy driver Chelsey. The idea of a quiet sunning on the boat as it drifted was upsurged when Nadine's sister decided to mix their alcohol.
" ok this is far enough. I'm going to go tell your sister, come before I topple over."

By the time they reached her and got the boat to stop the sun had cooled down enough that the water looked inviting.
So much so that Kayla tightened her base ball cap on and took the steps down into the water, waiting for them to pass her drink and join her in the quiet swim she wanted since the starting of their trip.

Chelsey and Nadine were her friends since preschool and went almost everywhere with her, did all they could together, and in times like this when hunting season came around, they helped her and her family keep her hidden as she relaxed and let a few layers melt away. Maybe it was the life raft that she held on to as she floated and drank her water or the baseball cap that was soaked through and through but hid her hair, but Kayla knew that her life wasn't as bad as it could be.
In fact everything was going swimmingly.

The sound of the engine caught her attention first then it was the tugging of the raft she had her head resting on.
The raft went in but her head went down as it lost its support and the attempt to curse only had her swallowing water and panicking thinking how many persons must have relieved their bladders in it, a taught that didn't occur until she was swallowing the sea.
The girls dropped their bottles and dived in knowing once panicked she would go down like the drunk in a bar fight. But along with their splashes were four others.
