Island Love

Chapter 7: Sex On the Beach

We walk down to the new restaurant and get seated at a table by one of the waiters. We have a window table looking out on to the sea. We look through the menu and order a starter and some cocktails.

"Wow this place is really nice." Monica says sipping her cocktail.

Charlie sniggers "Of course. It was recommended by the famous Michael remember?"

I put down the menu. "Why does that matter? I thought we were ok now. Can we just have a nice meal?"

"Yeah, sorry." Charlie smiles looking up at me from his menu.

Adam widens his eyes. "It is nice, but have you seen the prices?! Michael has an expensive taste."

"I've been to places more expensive." Bret says looking at the mains.

Adam scoffs. "Oh excuse me, Mr Millionaire." We all laugh.

We all receive our starters and begin to eat. As I'm eating the last bit I look up and notice a couple being shown a table. I can only see the back of them, but the guy looks a lot like Michael... the women next to him is tall with a slim curvy figure and long straight dark hair. He's wearing a red shirt, and a fedora hat? They walk off some where to the other side of the restaurant out of eye sight. I begin to realise I'm staring and quickly look away in case one of them notices im looking at someone. I leave my plate to the side and drink my cocktail.

"That was good." Charlie says finishing his. "Have you decided what you're having for main?"

I can't be sure if that's Michael.. I'm pretty sure-

"Jessica?"

I snap back and look at Charlie. "Oh sorry, what did you say?"

He smiles a little. "What's up? I asked it you have decided what you're having for the main course."

"Nothing, i was just staring in to space." I smile back. "I think I'm having..." I look through the menu again. "The chicken breast."

"Im having that too. It sounds so good." Monica smiles.

We order mains and more drinks. I go quiet as everyone talks around the table, and go back to thinking of Michael. He was with a girl, but he said he was single? Well yeah Jess, even if he is single he can still date... I'm being silly. I need to focus back or they're going to realise somethings wrong. We are all given our mains and we start eating. It goes silent around the table as we eat, and all you hear is the music in the background. I'm half way in and getting full. I take my time and have a sip of my drink.

"That was delicious. But so filling." I say sitting back drinking my wine.

"You got to save room for dessert Jess! I don't want to be the fatty on his own having pudding." Adam says eating the last of his food. I giggle. "That brownie sundae is calling for me. Fuck the beach body." I laugh agreeing with him.

"Ok, let me have a bit of a rest first." I drink more wine. "Is everyone else having pudding?"

"Of course." Charlie says smirking. "And you are too." He says looking at Bret. He laughs.

"I'll try my best." Bret lets out some air.

"I don't think I will. I feel like I've already put 10 stone on, just by the alcohol.. and it's only night 4." Monica says pushing her plate to the side.

"Boring." Charlie smirks.

I chuckle finishing my second glass of wine. "Well i need the toilet. So make a decision by the time I get back." I leave the table and head towards the stairs. I look around quickly but don't see Michael any where. I must be crazy... I walk up the stairs to the toilets. There's one door leading to the men's and women's bathrooms. I open it and come face to face with Michael.
