He stepped out of the hotel lobby into the pool area. The heat washed over him and he was sweating in an instant. He paused a bit in the shade so his body could prepare for the heat. He put his sunglasses on and walked straight to the sunbeds. A beer or two and sunshine will cure him of this stress of the office. It was well overdue for him to take a vacation to just relax, take time for his family and have a great time. This Hawaii retreat was Barbara Jean's idea. She thought that he and the kids need some bonding time and he was a bit cranky from all the late night last minute root canals and idiot patients. She was so excited when she found out that one of his distributors is paying him to spend a whole week in Hawaii for his extended family because he was their best buyer. Brock thought it was pretentious and bit odd but he caved when BJ mentioned that this hotel had 18 hole golf course. How can he resist playing golf in Hawaii?
The bar was near the entrance so he stopped and ordered a beer. The sun was hot even at 6 pm and everyone was in the water or safely in the shades on sunbeds. The radio in the bar was softly playing some Spanish music he was too old to know. While he was waiting for his beer his gaze traveled over the pool to the sunbeds. He saw Jake in the pool diving, playing with his water gun and really enjoying this vacation. Brock reminded himself that he needs to take Jake with him on a golf course with Van tomorrow. His eyes stopped at some blond 25-year-old girl with bikini smaller than they should be. He chuckled when he saw this really old guy applying sunscreen on her.
Brock opened his beer and took a large gulp. His eyes traveled a bit more to the left and then he saw her. His girl. The words sting a bit while thinking about a reality of the situation but she was still his in his mind. She was covered from head to toe with this long blue summer dress which probably matched her eyes. You couldn't see any patch of her skin showing. Brock was sweating for her instead. She was wearing a white floppy straw look hat too. He grinned. She looked silly but cute. Her red curls were all over the hat and the heat was wearing them down. The large sunglasses covered half her face and her beautiful blue eyes. He missed those the most. He took his beer and Ice tea for her and walked straight to her sunbed.
Out of nowhere, he felt a bit of cold water on himself. "Hey, dad. Come to the pool!" Jake yelled at his father and sprayed him with his water gun again. "Hey buddy, I will. Later, okay?" Brock answered and stopped right before Reba's sunbed.
"Oh, hey there Grandma" Brock said sarcastically to Reba and plopped beside her on a sunbed. Kids' things were all over the place and he could hardly find free space to relax ." Are you on the North Pole? " he said laughing. She just glared at him. Her eyes traveled from his legs to his shorts and stopped at his almost six pack. He was wearing blue shorts and no shirt. His abs were out there, reminding her that he actually took care of himself again. She bid her lip at the sight and daydreamed for a millisecond. She was glad her sunglasses didn't show her traveling gaze. She put down her book, sunglasses and smiled at him. "Oh, hey, baldie ?" she greeted him with her tongue out.
"Very mature, Red, very mature. " Brock laughed and gave Reba her Ice Tea. "I brought you ice tea so you can cool yourself a bit"
"What a gentleman you are. Thank you." Reba said and took the glass in her hand. The cold fluid was like a cold shower down her throat. She moaned a little with pleasure when she gulped the entire drink in one large sip. She was so hot under her dress and there was no wind whatsoever to cool her. She thought about taking her dress off and show the world her slender body in this one piece she bought at the airport shop but her self-conscious prevented her from doing that.
"Aren't you hot in this damn long dress? It's lovely I dare say but you look like a fool; dressed like it's minus 20. Take it off..." Brock remarked. He started sayin' more but he saw her glare and abruptly stopped. He knew better.
"Drink your beer and shut up. I'm not gonna strip for you even if you ask me nicely." Reba snapped back and took her book in her hand and started reading from the start.
"Oh, will see!" Brock smirked and turned his eyes back to the pool.
