out,” Krystal said.
“Front, center, back, center, front, center, back, center,” Miguel was telling the class.
Eventually Justus got it, but only when she repeated the steps over and over in her head like a mantra. After the salsa lesson, Miguel led the crowd into a tango number. Justus felt more comfortable with the numbers since she had learned to tango in their first lesson. At the end of class, the group had to put all the steps together, in one final dance. After they completed their dance, Miguel motioned for her to stay until after everyone had left.
“You’ve both improved. I guess it comes from a great teacher.”
“Yeah, and a modest one, too,” Justus said.
Miguel laughed, and said, “What are you up to today?”
“Well, actually we’re thinking about snorkeling. Neither one of us has ever done it before, so it should be pretty interesting to see how we do.”
“It’s fun and so beautiful, the corals, the fish, and the water . You’ll love it. I go snorkeling at home in Miami whenever I get the chance.”
“So, you’re experienced. Any tips?” Krystal asked.
“Not really, relax and enjoy it. I’m not going to be able to snorkel, but I have the rest of my day free, so I’ll be on the island. Maybe I’ll run into you two later. Anyway, don’t worry about the snorkeling; it’s safe, even if you see a small shark or stingray swim right by you. They’re harmless.”
“We can tell ourselves that now, but I don’t know if we’ll believe it once we’re in the water.”
“Hey, what are you doing around sunset?”
“N-nothing, that I know of.” Justus cursed herself for stuttering like a nervous school girl. She still couldn’t understand what came over her when she was in the presence of Miguel.
“Good, I would like to show you something. You don’t mind if I steal her, do you?”
“Nope, not at all,” Krystal replied.
“Do you want me to meet you somewhere, or would you like me to stop by your room?”
“I still don’t know my way around the ship too well, so come to our room.”
“All right. Oh, and wear your bathing suit tonight,” Miguel said with a smile.
Justus was curious as to what Miguel had up his sleeve, and she couldn’t wait to find out what it was. Trying to find a way to leave gracefully she looked at her watch and said, “It’s almost time for our lesson to begin, I guess we better go. I’ll see you tonight.”
“Bye, Miguel.”
“Bye, I’ll see you later,” he promised Justus with a warm smile.
As soon as they were out of the room and out of earshot Krystal whooped, “I’m so excited for you, another date!”
Justus smiled, “Are you sure you’re all right with it? I feel a little guilty ditching you tonight, after doing it last night, too.”
“You’re not ditching me! Who knows, maybe I’ll hang out with Michelle and her brother.” Krystal had a sly smile on her face and Justus knew instantly Krystal had no problem being left to her own devices tonight.
“That makes me feel better. I wonder what he has to show me. Damn it, now I have to think about it all day.”
“Maybe that way you won’t even notice all the sharks that are swimming by you when we snorkel.”
“Sorry honey, I don’t think I’ll be that concerned,” Justus said as she slid their plastic card into the door. They were meeting Michelle at their cabin before snorkeling.
“Ouch, I want to rest,” Justus said as she flung herself down on the bed.
Krystal joined her and said, “I know. Dancing takes a lot out of you. I don’t know how Miguel does it all the time, he must have a hell of a lot of stamina,” she told Justus with a lustful glint in her eyes.
“You’ve got one thing on your mind, please find a man, so you can leave me alone about the one I’ve found,” Justus said as she shoved Krystal off the bed playfully. “Oh God Krys, I never wanna go home.”
“Are you going to miss the vacation, or just miss someone you met on the
