Even the best-laid plans have hiccups as Myles was stopped twice on his journey with Kayla to his cabin. First by, Reia and Jocelyn as they were coming from, Name that 80s Tune with their cruise director Dr. E. Giving him knowing looks, they stopped him long enough to peer down at a sleeping and sated Kayla. Jocelyn, patted his shoulder and stepped to the side for him to continue.
Just as he reached the elevator, Myles ran into his grandfather and this time, he would not escape comment.
“Alright little Harte, what did on earth did you do to this girl? You rock her to sleep?” Grandpa Feelgood said in a thunderous and boisterous voice.
Cautious of Kayla being able to hear even though she didn’t budge, Myles whispered, “Gramps, can we chat later? I’m kind of busy here.” Sidestepping his grandfather, he attempted to walk away, but his grandpa’s whispered words stopped him again.
“Yeah, busy should have been your middle name cause you have that down to a science. This poor girl looks like you wore her out. From the looks of her, she could use a bed.” Shaking his head, grandpa walked away leaving Myles to stare after him.
Myles stood in the same spot for a bit, replaying his grandfather’s words. But he couldn’t ponder too long as Kayla stirred in his arms. “Hang on Honey Bee, we’ll be in my room in a few minutes, and you can sleep more comfortably.” He continued to the elevator without further incident.
As soon as Kayla’s body was gently spread out on the bed, she stirred awake from the familiar masculine smell embedded in the sheets. “Hi, I see you were successful in distracting me earlier, but we were supposed to be talking, Mister,” she groggily stated. “Is this just a week-long fling for you? What are your intentions toward me? I don’t want to leave any stones unturned. Especially, since you keep finding ways to distract me by either attacking my pussy with your tongue or with that Feelgood dick of yours.”
Myles was indeed trying to distract her, but it was time to pay the piper as he prepared to answer her questions. “Ok Honey Bee, time to lay it all out on the proverbial table. As far as my intentions for you, I want us to enjoy each other’s company for the remainder of this trip. I also want us to end this trip as a couple and I want us to start dating. So, does that answer your inquiries?”
“I’m not sure that you answered them. It seems like you just glossed over them. So, what are you not trying to say?” she asked growing aggravated.
“I don’t want this to cause you to ease up on this thing we’re starting, so I hesitate with sharing but I’m going to anyway. Sometimes, it’s better just to lay your cards on the table. Anyway, I haven’t been able to have a relationship of any kind since I began my private practice four years ago. There are two reasons for this. The first is that I tend to be extremely busy with my patients and practice which causes me to not spend as much time with the woman I’m dating. It starts off with my undivided attention and the next minute I get busy, and forget to do the things to keep her interested. The second reason is that women and my personal assistant Cathy don’t tend to get along. She holds down my practice in a way that I could never repay.”
Kayla watched Myles giving his explanation then noticed the way that his eyes lit up when he mentioned his personal assistant. She immediately wondered if there was more going on there than he was saying, but she wouldn’t press that subject yet. “So, again, what is it that you really want from this thing between us?”
“I want to see where this can go from here. Meaning, I want to date you, exclusively, once this cruise ends. I just wanted you to understand a little bit of why I haven’t tried to have a relationship in the past as well some of the issues that have arisen. I want you to be fully prepared for the road ahead is all.”
Kayla knew she needed some time to think without staring at his gorgeous face. “I think I need time apart to decide if this is what I want. I’ve told you before, that I’ve been hurt in the past, and I don’t want to start something up with you to later wind up with my heart broken again. I’ll find you when I have my answer, ok?”
His expression was warm and understanding. “Ok, that’s fair enough, come find me when you know for sure. While I want to date you and see where we can go from here, I won’t force you into anything.” Myles kissed her on the cheek and walked her to his door.
Kayla went to her room to try and sort out her thoughts. She’d done this before, and it had only led to heartache. Entering her room, she headed to her balcony with her earbuds and iPod. As she listened to the music, Kayla found herself getting sleepy. “Humph, I think I’ll shelve this for later,” she mumbled to herself walking back inside.
