Flynn POV
My date is going great.
We laugh and joke with the driver on the way back to Larry's. I'm having a really good time. He is funny, charming, and so cute. When he smiles it gives me butterflies.
I don't want to fall for him, but I think it might be too late. I keep telling myself, this is a holiday fling.
Nothing else.
I will not be hurt again.
We pull up to King Fish. Really nice home. It's one of the remodeled vacation rentals.
Larry takes my hand.
What do you have planned?
"Come and see. We go out to beach."
We walk through the house. His pool is lit, there is a lighted path leading to the ocean. The sun is just starting to set.
"Hope you like, I thought we watch sunset and have dessert here."
Jesus Larry, this is what you do on a first date?
"Yes"
Did you plan all this today?
"You be amazed what plastic can do. Come, you wear heels. I carry you."
I can walk.
"No, I want do it."
Larry kicks off his own, and picks me up.
He walks me over to the cushion, sits and opens the chilling champagne.
Thank you.
"You welcome ... you like strawberry?"
Yes please.
"Open ..."
I open my mouth, he puts the fruit between my teeth. I bite.
"Is it sweet?"
Mmmhmm Yes, good.
"I take shoes off, give me leg."
He puts my right leg on his lap and starts to unlace the long straps. I lean on my elbows and drink my champagne.
There is a breeze blowing. This is so romantic.
