Mira woke up to the 10 am sun creeping through the blinds. She rolled over the large bed onto an empty space and opened her eyes.
"Hey," Taylor said quietly from a chair in the corner of the bedroom.
Mira sat up covering herself with the sheet. "Hey you," she sleepily greeted. "What are you doing?"
"Well I had to get up and pee and I didn’t wanna wake you up getting back into bed so I decided to watch you from here," he explained.
Mira laughed. "Well thank you for being considerate."
They both showered - separately - and got ready to go out to breakfast. Later they came back and put on their bathing suits to go on the boat. While Mira was getting ready, the phone rang. Taylor answered it from the kitchen.
"Hello?" He asked as he continued to stock a cooler.
"Hey man, how’s it going?" Isaac greeted.
"Ike, where are you?"
"Well our flight got delayed so we stayed last night in a hotel. We’re in the airport now getting ready to leave," Isaac explained. "But I just wanted to call and say hey before I left."
"That sucks that your flight got delayed, but at least you got to stay in a hotel."
"Yeah, it was nice. So what are you guys up to?" Isaac asked.
"We’re about to go out on the boat," Taylor said as Mira made her way into the kitchen in her black bikini and red board shorts. "It’s Isaac," he told her.
"Hey Isaac," Mira called wrapping her arms around Taylor’s waist.
"Alright so do I have to ask?" Isaac said lowering his voice. "Tell me I’m not the only one who got some action last night," he smiled.
Taylor laughed and looked down at his girlfriend. "You’re not the only one, man."
"Well good for you," Isaac laughed. "I’ll let you guys go."
"Alright, you guys have a good time. Bring me back something cool," Taylor said.
"Okay. See you next week, man," Isaac said.
"Bye."
"So you gonna let me drive?" Mira asked as Taylor spun the speedboat around.
"Sure," he said. She stepped over and took the wheel from him. "Have you ever driven a boat?"
"Not like this one," she laughed jolting the boat forward.
"Oh lordy," Taylor said as he fell back into his seat.
"I got it. No problem"
"Okay, you go," Mira said. They had stopped the boat and were floating in the lake. Mira sat in the driver side with her legs stretched out and Taylor sat against the passenger side with his arms outstretched beside him and his legs in front of him crossed at the ankles.
"Alright," he looked up at the sky through his dark sunglasses. "Would you rather... be hole punched to death? Or be eaten alive by the cast of Full House?
Mira laughed. "Hmm.." she thought. "Can you really be hole punched to death?"
"It’s possible," he defended.
"Probably eaten alive by the cast of Full House. Because they'd never go through with it. I mean, come on, Mr. Tanner?" She reasoned.
"Ah..good point. Okay your turn,"
"Okay, would you rather... have sexual organs that glow whenever you’re attracted to someone or... emanate bizarre Darth Vadar music every time you walked into a room?"
"Wow," Taylor laughed. "Probably emanate Darth Vadar music when I walked in a room."
"Really?"
"Yeah, I mean, it’d be kinda cool in public bathrooms and stuff," Taylor said.
Later that afternoon they finally went back to shore. Taylor steered the boat into the dock, they gathered up their things and he covered the boat with the tarp.
"So what do you wanna do now?" Mira asked as they walked up the path back to the house.
"You," he said wrapping his arm around her waist bringing her closer to him.
"Wow," she smiled. She pulled the tie on his board shorts and walked past him into the house. He put the cooler down and ran after her throwing his arms around her body from behind. He turned her around and she dropped her stuff when her lips met his. She ran her fingertips through his hair as he pulled her closer around her bare waist.
Mira rolled Taylor over so she was on top and positioned herself on her knees on the bed.
"Fuck... me," Taylor called out looking up at the ceiling as he reached behind him grabbing onto the pillowcase.
"Mmmm God," she screamed and leaned forward draping her long brunette hair over his chest. She kept her forehead on his chest after she came letting out deep breaths.
"God," Taylor sighed covering his face with his arm as he composed himself.
"Yeah," she laughed not moving from her position on top of him. He reached down to comb his fingers through her hair while his stomach rose and fell beneath her. "OhmyGod, OhmyGod, OhmyGod," she moaned slowly rolling off of his sweaty body.
Taylor rolled over trapping her body underneath his leg. "I love you," he whispered before kissing the side of her head.
"Mm," she moaned looking over at him. "I love you too."
Taylor rolled over onto his back and covered his face with his hands. "That was insane," he said.
Mira laughed turning over on her stomach. "Sweetheart," she said looking over at him. "Did you wear sunscreen today?"
"Um," he placed his hands behind his head. "Ow," he winced in pain as the skin around his shoulders tightened. "Well, I did earlier," he said examing his sunburned arms. "But then I jumped in the lake and we were out there for like 4 or 5 hours."
"Oh my God," she said sitting up pulling the sheet back to reveal the extreme contrast in the color of his stomach and the area just below where the waistband of his shorts had been. "Are you okay?" she asked running her fingertips over his bright pink stomach.
"Yeah," he said trying to sit up. "Okay, maybe not," he laughed falling back onto the pillow.
"Aww," she ran her fingers through his hair. "You’re like completely red, baby."
"I’ll be okay."
Mira reached over and grabbed her short purple robe from the rocking chair and put it on as she stood up. "I’ll be back." She left the room and returned with a bottle of aloe. "Alright," she said kneeling on the bed next to him. "Your face," she laughed as she squeezed out some of the green substance onto her hand. "You’re so cute." His nose was pink along with his cheeks leaving white around his eyes and on the sides of his head from where his sunglasses had been.
"Oh lordy, that’s cold," Taylor said as she rubbed aloe on his shoulders and down his chest.
"Does it hurt?"
"No, it feels good," he closed his eyes. "Thank you."
She smoothed her hands down his arms and leaned down to gently blow on his stomach. "You want anything? You hungry?" She asked.
"Yeah, a little," he smiled.
She leaned down to kiss his forehead. "I’ll be back." She went to the kitchen and came back with a bowl of fresh fruit salad she had made earlier. "Well I’m sorry you hurt," Mira said sitting back down.
"It’s not your fault," Taylor laughed.
"Open," she smiled holding a piece of pineapple in front of his mouth.
Taylor opened his mouth as she placed the fruit in his mouth. He parted his lips again to quickly suck on her index finger. "Mm," he approved. "Thank you."
"You’re welcome," she said quietly.
"It’s really my fault. I’m sorry I’m a retard and forgot to wear sunscreen."
"Well don’t let it happen again," she said feeding him a strawberry.
"So, would you be mad if I wanted to take a nap?" Taylor asked sweetly as Mira rubbed aloe on his back. Mira noticed sleepiness in his voice proving the day on the boat and his girlfriend had worn him out.
"Of course not," she said running her fingertips along the back of his neck.
"Do you care to join me?"
"Certainly,’ she smiled getting up and walking over to the other side of the bed. She slid her robe off and crawled back under the covers with Taylor. She turned on her side and watched as his eyes immediately closed and his back rose and fell with the onset of a nap.
