Chapter 258

I almost wanted to carve out the time with Becca immediately. We ended up shifting the boats a bit to anchor them end-to-end so that the back kitchen porches were butting up against each other. This made the boats one long corridor, and people would be able to mingle freely, though the two top decks didn’t have a railing break like on the sides so to go from one to the other someone had to go down the stairs, cross over, and head back up.

As soon as we were tied up Ginny came over, giving me a little wave with an embarrassed smile, but didn’t stop and slipped upstairs to let Cattie know that Heather and Sherry still hadn’t left their room. I got the feeling that she was having some big morning-after regrets and was trying to pick Cattie’s side in things. Cattie’s words from earlier - that Heather was being a coward - rang in my head.

I crossed over the Singles Boat and found Becca and Ami up on the top deck, both of them hugging me as I came up.

“I need to get ready for the photoshoot with Leia,” Becca said.

“OK,” I agreed. “Do you need anything from me, or just show up?”

“I could use a carry to shore,” Becca said. “I’d rather not hike to a good spot with my costume wet. Leia will probably need one, too. Also my gear.”

“That I can definitely do,” I said. She went up on her toes to give me a peck on the lips with a smile and then headed down to the cabins, leaving me with Ami.

“Hi,” I said with a smile, taking her hand and moving to sit on one of the deck chairs. She followed me with a smile and with a soft squeeze of her hand and a tug she sat on my lap instead of taking another chair. She’d changed into a cute halter bikini that covered her ‘anime titties’ and I wrapped my arms around her lightly.

“Did I see what I think I saw while you were driving the boat earlier?” Ami asked me with a raised eyebrow.

“What do you think you saw?” I asked, blushing a little.

“I think you were multi-tasking and having sex with Cattie,” she said.

“I was,” I admitted. “Does that bother you?”

She sighed and leaned into my chest a bit more, resting her head on my shoulder as she trailed a couple of fingers across my skin. “Yes and no,” she said. “Which ... considering everything, I feel like it should be way more yes than no, but it’s the opposite. The yes is only because I’m ... jealous isn’t the right word, but I’m having like ... FOMO that I’m not having sex with you yet. I’m finding I’m not actually jealous of any of the others getting time with you though, which is weird because I always thought I might be a jealous girlfriend when I finally found someone I really liked. But this whole situation, and you always taking time to make me feel special...”
