enquired.
‘It was all right, if you like that kind of thing.’ Charlie tried to sound low-key, but couldn’t stop an enormous grin from spreading across her face.
‘And what kind of thing would that be?’
Charlie flopped down on the sunbed next to her friend. ‘Hot sex, hot sex and more hot sex, with a hot man, who is gorgeous! And clever and sexy and gorgeous … did I already mention that?’
Zoe laughed; she didn’t think she had ever heard Charlie speak like this about a man before. Nor had she seen her looking so relaxed. Since her accident it had been as if part of Charlie had shut down and she had no longer been her old carefree self.
‘So what did you do last night?’ Charlie went on.
‘I spent a great evening with Luis, playing cards and watching the football. And checking out his wardrobe and telling him what to wear so he doesn’t end up looking like a crustacean. His wife is
so
going to thank me.’
‘I knew you were only pretending to be ill!’
‘Yep, all part of my scheme to get you to go out with Felipe. Weren’t you impressed by my acting skills? Oscar potential, I reckon.’
Charlie gave a rueful smile, partly at her friend’s cunning plan and partly at the idea she had needed any encouragement to see Felipe. The only thing she was going to find hard was not seeing him.
‘And I got the lowdown on Felipe,’ Zoe continued. ‘He broke up with his girlfriend four months ago, which I think seems like a decent length of time, so he’s not on the rebound. And
he
ended it with her.’ She glanced over at her friend who was gazing up at the sky.
‘I think I really like him,’ Charlie said dreamily. Then she looked at Zoe. ‘I might have to buy you a new dress. We went skinny dipping and it got wet.’
‘No problem, I don’t think it suited me anyway. So come on, tell me, out of ten, how would you rate him?’
‘Off the scale.’
‘Oh, yeah, baby!’ Zoe exclaimed, adding cheekily, ‘Aren’t you glad you had that Brazilian?’
‘The Spaniard was a lot more fun,’ Charlie replied, grinning.
It turned out to be an idyllic day. Felipe had hired a catamaran skippered by a local man called Captain Jack, who insisted he’d been called that long before the
Pirates of the Caribbean
movies existed and that he’d had the dreadlocks and gold tooth before Johnny Depp was even born. He also had the loudest laugh Charlie had ever heard, which he put to good use when he found out that Zoe and she were enjoying this holiday at her boyfriend’s expense.
‘I would never dare to forget my wife’s birthday. She’d be likely to cut off my balls and wear them as earrings!’ Captain Jack declared, causing Felipe and Luis to look a little uncomfortable at the image.
‘Oh, no, I’d never do that,’ Zoe said sweetly. ‘I much prefer my diamonds. They’re from Tiffany’s.’ Prompting another guffaw from Captain Jack.
They motored along the coast for an hour to an area popular with turtles. There they spent several hours snorkelling and swimming with the graceful amphibians who were well used to humans and seemed unconcerned by their presence, and were happy to allow the swimmers to observe them at close quarters.
Charlie had wondered if it might be awkward seeing Felipe again after their passionate night and equally passionate morning. But she felt completely at ease with him as they chatted to their friends, swam together and sat next to each other on the boat, he with his arm around her. Charlie loved that he was so affectionate with her in public, kissing and hugging her. She felt treasured and desired. Felipe was a wonderful contrast to TFB who had only ever seemed to show any affection in the bedroom.
For a late lunch Captain Jack steered them to a tranquil bay and served up a delicious picnic of miniature crab cakes, shrimp salad, slices of watermelon, and mango and lime sorbet. Felipe made a point of thanking him for everything he did and helping out wherever he could, and
