Chapter 210

Heading up to the top deck, it was a bit of a party atmosphere as the sun was out again and most of the girls were in bikinis and drinking, and the college guys were hanging around with their speed boat tied to the back of the Singles Boat. I would find out later that they’d turned up with a keg of some decent local craft beer and were freely sharing it out.

Almost as soon as we came up from below I had a half dozen smirks and smiles pointed towards me.

Becca was the first to detach herself from her conversation and come over to me, whispering something to Terra and then giving Cassidy a little smack on the ass as she passed them. “Hey, Tiger,” Becca smiled as she stepped up, holding her hands out low to me. I grasped them and she squeezed my fingers as she got close and went on her toes to give me a kiss right there out in the open.

“Hey, gorgeous,” I said.

“Surprised?” she asked.

“A little, but happy about it.”

“Everyone knows now, so I decided I don’t care if people see,” she said, still holding my hands in hers. “You make me really happy, Robbie. I don’t want to feel like I need to hide that.”

“You make me really happy too, Becca,” I said, and she let me drop her hands so that I could bundle her up in a big hug as I kissed the side of the head. “I’m really happy I met you.”

“Me, too,” she said, hugging me back tightly.

“OK,” I sighed as our hug ended and she leaned back just a little, still pressing her hips to mine as she looked up at me. “Do you need help with anything? Are the boys behaving?”

“The boys have been good,” Becca said. “And your girls have been shutting down pretty much any flirting. That’s put a lot more attention on Ginnie, Sherry, Heels and Heather, but they seem to be enjoying it.”

“Considering Ginnie and Sherry have already hooked up with a couple of them, I’m not surprised,” I said.

“True,” Becca smirked. “But I don’t need help with anything, so you’re free to show some attention to other girls that need it.”

“You need it too,” I said. “Don’t think I’ve forgotten.”

“I know you wouldn’t,” she smiled, her hands rubbing my hips and then sliding under my loose tank top onto my skin. “And I’m looking forward to it. But we did get time together earlier even if it wasn’t exactly what we wanted. How was Terra Time?”

I just sort of half-shrugged, half-waved my arms around, grunted, and then said, “Wow.”

Becca snorted a laugh and shook her head as she rolled her eyes at me. “She needed it, and you two were circling each other a lot. I’ll get the story from her.”

“How was JC?” I asked. “Cassidy told me a little, but I think she’s cushioning me.”

“She probably was,” Becca said, her smile turning into a soft frown. “JC is ... well, you know what he’s been like since Terra got mad at him yesterday. It was mostly just more of that. I don’t know if him knowing she was with you made it worse or not. I made sure we had the music on so he wouldn’t hear anything out here, and I tried to make sure he wasn’t near Heather or Sherry until the boys got here.”

“That was a good idea,” I said. “I hadn’t thought of what damage those two could do.”

“That’s why they pay me the big bucks,” Becca smirked. “Or, like, none of the bucks.”

“Hey, weird question,” I said, pivoting topics. “What do you want me to call you?”

“Um ... my name?”

“I mean like ... a coupley name. Something sweet that’s just between us. While I was with Terra I randomly called her ‘honey’ and she liked it and wants me to keep doing it, and she asked what I call you guys and I realized I have a name for Leia, and maybe Ami now that I think about it, but I want to have something just for you.”

“Well, babe and baby are out,” Becca said. “It always makes my heart ache a little with butterflies when you tell me how impressive I am, but that’s too long. Can I think about it?”
