It Will End In A Kiss

Into the Sea

(BLU)

"I have never been on a yacht before. This is fantastic," I exclaimed excitedly.

"Color me surprise," Robin drawled sarcastically while lounging on a towel while we are at the back deck of this beautiful yacht.

I twisted my lips at his reply. He is really a jerk. But I continued in my happy mood instead of letting his churlishness affect me. "Can you imagine the people who have visited this island and stayed here? Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, when they were still together. Jackie Chan, Elton John, Michael Jordan and get this...even royalties! Japanese and British monarchs had stayed here! Maybe they even use this very same boat! Imagine that!"

Robin surged up to sit and took off his sunglasses to glare at me. "Okay, first of all...this is not a boat. This is a luxurious yacht. There are huge differences between the two, Blu. Next, who the fuck cares if Hollywood superstars and European monarchies stayed here and used this very same yacht? Don't you feel cheated? We're supposed to be traveling in Europe and eating authentic Danish pastries while learning about the history of the Berlin Wall."

"Danish pastries and the Berlin Wall didn't come from the same country." I said to Robin while wondering how soon before the throbbing vein in his temple explode.

"That also doesn't matter," Robin sighed like I am the source of all his grievances and frustrations in life. "We're supposed to be in Europe. That's my kind of vacation."

"Well this is my kind of vacation. I love it here..."

"You are so simple and easy to please," Robin donned his glasses and lay back down to the towel again. He is such a snob.

I don't understand his grumbling. We are having a fine time here. At least I do. And Mr.Akage and Mr.Gilbert. I mean, I saw my guardian and my favorite person in this weird family having a great time setting up Mr.Gilbert's fishing rod on the other side of this luxurious yacht. The two adults are both laughing while drinking beer slowly and discussing fishing with the captain of this...I will call it a boat because it's a boat! Fuck Robin and his politically correct terms!

I turned to the edge of the yacht to peer down. We have stopped in this deeper part of the sea to fish. But when I heard how much patience it will take to catch even just one fish...I bailed out. I don't think fishing is for me. I cannot imagine any teenager being into fishing. I really don't.

And I don't feel bad because Robin bailed out too. "I have experienced fishing before. Not just with fishing rod but with fishermen using nets. It's hard work." He said.

"Yes, it is." Nodded Mr.Akage. "That's why young people should respect people who work hard like them. Also farmers, labor worker, hospital staffs, police, firemen...etc. You should all respect hard working people that keep this society and economy going."

Robin's eyebrow shoot up. "Yeah, I respect people who works hard. Do you know a profession that looks so easy I don't respect it at all? Bankers. Bankers got it easy. Working in a fully airconditioned room. Just sitting around and playing with money. Banking as a profession is easy."

I winced at that. Mr.Akage is the definition of a banker. Their family's money came from banking.

Mr.Akage smirked at Robin. "True, bankers has it easy. But you know who got an easier life? The family of the banker. They are getting everything they want and need because someone came to work in an airconditioned room and sat around all day to earn money to pamper their ungrateful asses."

Robin and I looked at each other at that not so subtle jab by our guardian. That's also Mr.Gilbert's cue to came in between and serve as the buffer for everyone. "Okay, that is enough. Master Robin and Blu can stay on the back deck of the yacht while the grown ups fish."
