So yes it has been a minute for me to be around. So much shit going on during my 'Vacation'. I don't feel the need to give you all the boring details because in fact none of you come her for the boring. I know you all too well.
Things running around here are going very smoothly. The house and yard staff have everything down to a fine science. To the point that many days I just let them take the afternoons off. That is two fold as you might guess. Once they are gone I feel free to be free. I so love sitting out by the pool on the patio with absolutely nothing on. This is also enjoyed by the Trel as well. I believe we have now visited all the social media spots on St Kitts and Nevis islands and now are looking for the more out of the way places. You know the ones only those native to the island know about. The more entertaining ones.
But some things will always be the same no matter where you travel to. There is always a queen bee that needs to assert her authority and then feel the need to show me just how important they think they are. So am I just a damn flame that draws all these moths to me? More in a bit.
The Trel has been continuing on with her title of personal assistant and does a very fine job of it. But since we are here I've granted her more freedom to explore and choose how she wishes to pursue things. And now we have Cho. (pronounce Sho) Lovely Asian woman that enjoys hanging out with the Trel. Yep, I'm the third wheel some evenings. Which... is fine.
So we had dinner the other evening and we headed to one of the watering holes on the list. As we walked in I saw that it was a very target rich environment. And my hunter's radar went off immediately. And I smiled to myself as the Trel and Cho had no idea because they were just being them. I got a nice spot at the bar where I could see the door and most of the room. The girls would check in from time to time. But I could see the lay of the land. After about an hour and I was a good three drinks in I saw her make her wide approach. Tall but not my height, a white girl like me. Hair done nicely but she had semi snug jeans of and a loose button down top. She slides up semi close and asks.... "Whatcha drinking there red?"
I looked at her... "Well that one there was a %30.00 a shot Rum and coke. And these two dead soldiers were Bourbon and coke"
She was trying to size me up and not doing it very subtly. "I'm Joan. And those are my running buddies."
"Yes I saw you all enter. Quite the troop you have with you."
She puffs up a bit... "Yeah, and this place is kind of our hangout. We don't care for strangers. So you need to pay a toll or maybe move on."
I leaned back a bit and raised an eyebrow. "Don't you mean a tribute?"
She looked confused. "No you have to pay us the right to stay here and drink...so you need to pay us a toll."
I laughed, "The only fucking place I pay a toll is on the toll roads around and through Chicago. And maybe when you get your next toll you should look up Tribute. Now please, you are boring the fuck out of me. Please try and go intimidate someone who gives a fuck."
(Yes I know. I just don't play well with stupid.)
She got red in the face and slammed her fist on the bar and almost screamed.. "You don't get it. I know the owner of this place and my rules go first."
I finished my drink and look her dead in the eye... "And just because of that I might just fucking buy this place and throw all your asses out of it."
Now the bartender walks over and tells Joan to go sit away from the bar. She is pissed. The Trel comes over and gives me the what's up look.
So this has now become my most favorite place to drink.
Fast forward to a couple of nights ago.
Once again the terrible trio head out for dinner and over to our new haunts. I have my seat and about an hour later Joan and the crew stroll in. The glare I got made me laugh. There was this lovely cat and mouse thing I find cute. Because the cat and the mouse don't realize they are poking at a wolf that is hungry. I watch this and drink a bit too much and just as Joan screws up enough nerve to demand shit from me I hear this voice...
"Excuse me Miss, is this seat taken?"
I turn to see much to my surprise the Amazon Warrior herself Sgt Sexy was standing there. In all her glorious 6'0", 180 lbs frame. Short cut jet black hair. I stammered (and I never fucking stammer) "Just waiting for you."
As Joan moved in the Amazon gave her a look that must have given her enough to think better of it. So Ketra sat down with me. And we had this very long and involved conversation about things from the past and things moving forward. We had a long conversation about trust issues and earning that back.
I finally asked her where she was staying.
I was told she hadn't thought that through yet and her ruck sack was at the coat check.
She actually had me smiling. I hate school girl crush things but she kind of does that to me. I hate it... mostly.
So we all decide to head back over to St Kitts and get our new guest all set up but before leaving I walked over to Joan and her crew and I got close so only Joan could hear... "I'm not going to fuck you tonight, but soon I will and I am going to own your ass forever." I stood up and her eyes were pretty wide open... "Just think about it."
And I turned and we all walked out.
Once back to the house we all settled in. And to Ketra's amazement we all just got naked and went to the patio to drink a bit more and she knew when in Rome.......
It was a lovely evening but I had forgotten that the Amazon always hogs the sheets.
