“Whoa, back up the truck dude. I was just as inebriated as you. If you’ll recall, last night after we finished our set I met with Rachel. You know how she likes to party. I was shit-faced before you, Bro. Besides, who am I to stand in the way of true love?”
It was a very good thing Marek’d already swallowed the water, otherwise he would have spit it out. “What do you mean true love? I was only looking to get laid mon.”
Landon spoke firmly into the phone, “It was more than that Bro and you know it. I saw the way you two were gobbling each other up. You two are made for each other. And aren’t you the one always spouting that fate and destiny bullshit?”
Yeah, he was.
“Screw you Bro. You don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. We aren’t made for each other, so don’t go down that path. If there was any fate last night it was only there to get her in my bed. I’m sure as shit not ready to settle down into marriage. I’m going to find a way out of this so that I can send the girl back home where she’s far, far away. I’ve got enough crap going on in my life right now, mon. Now, are you going to help me out of this or not?”
Landon was silent for a moment. Marek rolled his eyes toward the ceiling as he waited for his best fried to step up to the plate.
“Alright. What do you want me to do man?”
“Tell me everything you remember about last night. Every little detail. I woke up in bed with her this morning and we were both naked, so I need to know everything.”
“Oh yeah, you two were naked? Right on. How’d see look? I bet she looks damn fine with nothin’ on.”
Marek made a menacing sound in the back of his throat.
“Ok, ok. I don’t remember much other than watching Big Bubba marry you two in the back of the bar in his office. Man, I’d forgotten that he’d gotten himself ordained through the internet. Funny thing, that. Anyway, you two made out after your vows then grabbed a taxi back to her place. That’s all I remember Bro, I swear.”
Marek sighed and raked a hand through his wild hair. He’d been hoping for a whole lot more information than that. “Alright, thanks mon. If you think of anything else give me a ring. I’ve a meeting here in about an hour so I’d better go. Au revoir .”
He hung up the phone with a clunk and rubbed a palm hard against his temple. Oh he wished he could remember last night. Plus, if he’d made out with her and more, like Landon suggested, than it’s a shame that he has no memory of it.
Because what he didn’t tell Landon was that Carmen Hogue did look damned fine naked.
A scratching noise sounded at the French doors leading to the deck and Marek looked down. His cat Sunny had one furry orange paw on the glass and was begging to be let in. The cat was nearly as fat as his litter mate Noomba from the Green Island Inn.
Marek reached for the knob and turned the handle. Before Sunny could streak in he stepped out onto the sun drenched deck. Squinting against the sun, Marek bent down and gave the cat a cursory pat. Since Sunny was busy purring and polishing his calves Marek scratched her under the chin as well. The orange tabby closed her eyes in kitty bliss.
Marek looked out over his lawn and noticed his hammock had been removed from its usual spot. It no longer hung between two Royal palms by the Plumeria bush like it normally did. He picked up the chubby cat and held her cradled in his arm and was about to walk over to investigate when he heard someone in the kitchen behind him.
Marek turned just as his housekeeper Mrs. Carrins reached the deck.
“Oh, der you are! I thought I heard someone come in da door. I was upstairs in one of da guest rooms and wasn’t sure. I see you’ve found your cat. Silly ting slipped outside unnoticed dis morning and I couldn’t find her for da life of me.”
Marek smiled at his plump
