THE CRUISE

Ch 10

Jonathan sat on the side of the pool checking out the sights. He was wide awake and had been for the past two hours. He was happy to have one of the pools to himself. He dived back in and swam the length of the pool back and forth getting his exercise. His mind, however, was still on Katrina. Every moment he was with her was two minutes he thought about her when he wasn't. He was thinking of something to do to make the night special. He knew what other guys would be doing, but he wasn't like that�or was he. They were on their fourth day here and he was feeling pretty good about her, and he was damn sexually attracted too, but all they had done so far as steal a few kisses. He knew she liked him, but did she like him that much? He couldn't just ask. "Katrina, do you want to have sex with me?" That was a mood stopper right then and there. He stood up in the shallow end and shook himself out still thinking.

"If I was more like Jordan, I wouldn't have to think of the 'if's' and 'should I's'" He thought to himself. One thing about Jordan, he knew how to work the women.

"MMM Food. Good delicious, not good for you food." Katrina piled her plate high forgetting that she was at a buffet. Celly, and Suzi were right behind her. So far she'd done nothing about the extra pounds she knew she was gaining with all the food, but the didn't even bother her right now. And they sure didn't show through her tight slip dress. She grabbed a table close to the edge of the little restaurant and sat down digging in.

"You act like you haven't eaten in days."

"Yeah well, It's not like I can see even an inch of your plate Suzi." Katrina retorted looking at Suzi's full plate. "There are no guys around so I'm going to eat like the pig that I am�.oink."

"Yeah well, lookie out by the pool. What handsome devil can that be standing in the water."

Katrina turned around and saw Jonathan looking incredibly gorgeous standing up. "Oh man�"

"Is that juice or drool running down her chin?" Suzi said and Katrina went to wipe her dry chin.

"You bitch."

"Yeah, well it was only a matter of time. The man does look tasty doesn't he?" Suzi glared at him.

"Hey, watch it now woman, those are my�well, that's my man over there, looking�gawd, look at him." She couldn't help but stare and she knew other women were staring just as hard.

"Well are you going to go over there?"

"No, I'll let him just relax. Besides, it's fun to just admire from afar sometimes." She watched as he went back underwater and started to swim with long even strokes across the length of the pool.

"You have total self control, girl. I bet you guys are all cute holding hands and kissing. You don't have all that sexual tension that a lot of us do." Celly noted and Suzi nodded.

"Yeah it's not like you two want to just rip each other's clothes at every sight of each other and constantly have erotic dreams." Suzi chimed in.

"Gawd what do you think we are? A nun and a priest. You make us sound so pathetic."

"No, no that's not it at all. I mean, you have like a pure thing going on."

"Thanks! Thanks a lot girls. And I supposed you two are just doing it like rabbits." She stared accusingly back at the two.

"Well�I'm not�but you know Donnie. I bet I'll get a little s'mthin s'mthin before the end of this trip." Suzi grinned.

"And well, Joe�I've heard the stories. And, well, we'll see what happens." Celly said wistfully. "But we're talking about Jon here. Out of all of them, you know he's the most gentlemanly when it comes to sex."

"You're lucky Kat, it's what we're saying, you two are just�" She thought of a way to say it.

"Barbie and Ken? We look good together but don't have the 'parts' to get down and dirty? I bet we could have sex before you and Donnie, or you and Joe even think about it." She challenged them both. She was sick being taken as Ms. Innocent.

"Yeah right!" Celly laughed like Katrina had said the funniest thing in the world. "I'd like to see that happen."

"I'll take that bet girl. This seems like an easy one to win."

"That's not fair you guys. None of this is making me feel any better."

"So you'd rather have Jon be a walking hormone."

"Well no, I like him just the way he is, all of him, you guys just make it seem like we don't have that sexual drive, and, well at least I do." Katrina's appetite was gone after the conversation and she turned to see if Jon was still out there and he was. She stared at him as he sat on the side of the pool in his swim trunks. She did feel like going over there and ripping them off of him, but there was something that was stopping her and she couldn't figure out just what it was.
