How He Hurts Your Feelings

Here’s some angst for ya :p wait is this even angsty?? Idk it’s the angstiest thing I’ve ever wrote XD

Masterlist Part 2

Naruto~

You sighed as you neared your second home, a ramen shop. You loved ramen, of course, but it was tiring having to cater to your boyfriend’s uncanny obsession with it. For once you wanted to have a choice. He never listened to your ideas anymore, recently he had made your relationship all about him, and it was beginning to eat at you.

You didn’t even necessarily want to eat. You just wanted to spend time with Naruto without having to eat ramen. Was that too much to ask?

“Naruto, we always go to Ichiraku’s for dates… maybe we could do something different?” The blonde turned to you with a pout. “Why? I thought you loved ramen?” You sighed, shaking your head.

“I do, but it’s all we seem to do these days.” His frown deepened. “But, I’m hungry!” You nodded, trying to control your patience. “Me too, but maybe we can go somewhere else to eat? I heard there’s a new BBQ place opening!” He was full-on scowling and his arms were crossed.

“Why are you being so disagreeable? You wanted to go out and here we are.” Your face fell at his hostile demeanor, but you refused to back down.

“I’m not being disagreeable, Naruto. You always pick out our dates without considering my opinion, I’m simply asking if we can do something different.” He rolled his eyes, his cerulean eyes burning with irritation.

“Fine, whatever. Go to your BBQ place. I’m going to get ramen.” Without another glance, he turned around and ducked into Ichiraku’s, leaving you alone on the street. Tears filled your eyes and blurred your vision as you ran back home, suddenly having lost your appetite.

Sasuke~

The Uchiha rarely got sick, but when he did he was more irritable than usual. You knew that when he did it was best to take his words with a grain of salt, as he was just trying to seem tough to make up for his perceived weakness at being sick. However, there was only so much you could take and you were slowly reaching your limit.

With every snide remark, you felt yourself grow a bit more upset. As it was Sasuke had tried to slam the door in your face when you had arrived, given you the silent treatment, complained about every little thing about the soup you made, he even griped about the tomatoes you’d brought him.

However, what was really pushing you over the edge was his ungratefulness. When you were sick, you let him take care of you, why couldn’t you return the favor?! You had been nothing but patient and gracious, and still, he had a problem with everything you did.

“For crying out loud, woman, I don’t want the medicine!” He snapped. At that moment, you snapped too. You threw down the spoon of medicine and a loud clang resounded. “FINE! I’ve done nothing but help you, same as you’ve done for me, but all you’ve done is treat me like some kind of pest! I get that no one is themselves when they’re sick, but I am not you’re personal punching bag, Sasuke!”

He seemed taken aback by your outburst, even to the point of silence. “You’ve made it clear I’m not needed here.” His eyes narrowed as you grabbed your bag. “Because you’re not.” You froze, trying to school your expression. “What?” He scoffed. “I said you’re not needed.”

Refusing to tolerate any more of his verbal abuse, you walked out his door without a word, not caring if he saw your tears.

Neji~

If you were being truthful with yourself, you knew you had been a bit neglectful of Neji lately. In the last two weeks, you had last minute canceled three consecutive dates. In your defense, you were so close to finishing the novel you were working on, and you had completely immersed yourself in it, excited for it to be so close to completion.

You had pushed him to the back of your mind and wrote day and night. You were just pages away from completion when you heard an obnoxious knocking at your door.

You were surprised to see your boyfriend, who looked furious, to say the least. “Oh, hey, Neji, what’s up?” You stepped back letting him in. His lilac eyes met yours and it felt like staring into a typhoon.

“It’s been three weeks since we’ve gone out, and all you can say is ‘what’s up’?” His voice was deadly quiet and you sheepishly avoided his eyes. “I’m sorry, I know I’ve been distant, but I’m so close to finishing my novel, and I just-”

He was in your face before you could blink. “Your novel?! You’ve been avoiding me for that stupid thing?!” Even though his words stung, you knew he had every right to be mad; you hadn’t been very considerate lately.

“I’ve been working on it for so long and I just wanted to finish it, I didn’t mean to hurt you.” You insisted. He sneered. “I can’t believe you’re spending so much time on a pipe dream. I’ve read it, and it will amount to nothing.” You had no idea how to respond, you could feel tears forming. “Get out.” Your voice was quiet but firm. “What?” You looked him directly in the eyes. “Now. I won’t repeat myself.” He stormed away with a scoff, leaving you with new insecurities.

Shikamaru~

Much to your delight, Shikamaru had agreed to go walking in the park with you. He had been away on a mission for a month and had gotten back a few days ago. You had missed him greatly and you were ecstatic to finally have him back.

“What did you do while I was away?” You looked up at the Nara as you walked. “A lot of training, really… not much else besides that. I missed you a lot.” He threw an arm around your shoulder, a small smile on his face. “I missed you too, (Y/N/N). I’m glad to be back.”

You passed a few kids who were playing a game of tag and weaving in and around the area, laughing all the way. You smiled at the sight, leaning your head onto Shikamaru’s shoulder.

“Shika?” He looked down at you letting you know he was listening. “How come you didn’t want to go cloud watching? Not that I’m complaining, it’s just unusual.”

He chuckled, steering you around the rambunctious children as they ran by. “I’ve been gone for a while, I figure it’d be nice to walk around a little bit. Don’t get used to it though, this is special.” You giggled, not surprised in the least.

“At least some things don’t change.” He raised an eyebrow. “Oh? What things?” You smirked. “You’re still as lazy as can be!” He dramatically rolled his eyes before letting a smug expression settle on his face.

“And you’re still abnormally short!” Shikamaru snickered. You rolled your eyes, punching him in the shoulder. You were about to reply when there was a plume of smoke. Shikamaru was no longer in sight.

You felt your mind blank for a second. A shadow clone. Your own boyfriend had rather send a clone than actually see you after a month of being apart. You felt an ache in your chest as you angrily wiped the tears from your eyes. Had he really not missed you at all?

Kiba~

You screeched indignantly as a bucket full of water rained down on you. Tears of frustration gathered in your eyes, much to your chagrin. This was the third prank today, and you were more than tired of Kiba’s antics.

You were going to your room to grab your jacket and was in too much of a hurry to notice the trap. Now you were in the doorway, soaked to the bone, shaking with anger and cold while Kiba just laughed.

First, it had been replacing the sugar with salt so your morning coffee had been spoiled, then it had been hiding every article of clothing you owned and then having to find each individual piece, one at a time. Now you were wet and miserable and Kiba looked like he was only just beginning your torment.

“You know what, Kiba, this isn’t funny! This is the third prank in as many hours! What is your deal?!” He looked confused as if he didn’t know why you were angry. “They’re just harmless pranks, babe, no reason to get worked up.”

They were harmless pranks, but it was your… not so special week and you didn’t have the energy to deal with it. “Look, I’m tired, okay? So can you please just quit it?”

He rolled his eyes as if he were exasperated. “You’re so boring (Y/N). Why can’t you just loosen up once in a while?” You harshly rubbed your temples, trying to push down your hurt. You knew you weren’t overreacting, you were sore and drained, and he was making it that much worse.

“I’m going back to bed. Please don’t bother me.” You waved a hand towards him and walked away and slammed the door behind you. “God, what did I do to get such a whiny girlfriend?”

Your mouth fell open as you heard his voice. Was that really how he thought of you?

Gaara~

You sighed dejected, as you stared at the empty seat your boyfriend was supposed to be. You knew that as the Kazekage, Gaara was a busy man, but he was the one who planned the date and he had promised to be there.

After thirty minutes of pity filled stares and waiting, you figured he wasn’t going to show up. This was the fourth time this month that he had stood you up and you couldn’t help but find yourself hurriedly heading in the direction of the Kazekage building to confront him.

By the time you had finally reached his office, you had calmed down, but that wasn’t to say you weren’t still angry. You knocked harshly on his door and waited for his response. “Enter.” You stormed your way in, your dress swishing behind you as reached his desk.

“Gaara. I was expecting you forty-five minutes ago.” Seafoam eyes met yours, before sweeping over your outfit. “Oh, god, (Y/N), I’m so sorry, I got caught up-” I scowled at the overused excuse.

“This is the fourth time! For goodness sake, this date was your idea!” He stood up, holding your trembling hand. “I know, and I’m so sorry. I’m going to make it up to you.” Your frown deepened as you turned away.

“Do you know how foolish I looked? Having a reservation for two, and sitting there for thirty minutes?” He sighed, but it didn’t sound remorseful. “I said I’ll make it up to you, okay? I was in the middle of something important.”

Your eyes hardened as they met his. “Important? So more important than me apparently? I know you’re busy, Gaara, I do, but this is getting ridiculous! Not only are you neglecting our relationship, but you’re also neglecting your own health!”

The crimson-haired Kazekage’s eyes left yours as he sat back down. “I’m very busy right now, (Y/N), can we finish this later?” He suggested emotionlessly.

Your fists were clenched. “Don’t bother, I have nothing more to say.” The slamming door had a note of finality to it as your left.

Kakashi~

You hissed as the peroxide touched the wound on your stomach. “You were reckless, (Y/N).” You glowered at the head of silver hair that was hunched over your bruised and bloody form, medical supplies in hand.

“I wasn’t reckless, Kakashi. My team was in shambles and we were outnumbered. I did the best I could with what I had and the mission was a success and everyone is okay.” Even through his mask, you could see his frown. “But at what cost? You should’ve waited for back up!”

I rolled my eyes. “Tsunade-sama was proud, everyone is fine. These injuries are nothing. I’m a shinobi and so are you. You know the cost and this can barely be considered a cost.” He shook his head, frustrated, as he wrapped your bandages.

“I get worried, okay? I know you, and I’m scared of the day you finally go too far and do something stupid-” You shot up, no longer being able to tolerate his attitude.

“Do you doubt my abilities that much? Even though I graduated from the academy, passed the Chuunin exams, and got my Jonin promotion the same as you?!” Kakashi simply crossed his arms.

“Well, I’m having to stitch you up, right?” You swatted his hand away from the cut on your shoulder. “That’s enough! I don’t have to take this! I’ve earned my place here, no matter what you say! The number of times I’ve patched you up and never complained and this is how you treat me?” Your words faded to a whisper hurt shining through your tone.

“That’s different! I can handle it!” Your eyes widened at the words. “Seriously? So what? You’re calling me weak now?”

“That’s not what I said, (Y/N).” You chuckled humorlessly, still in disbelief that you were even having this conversation. “You didn’t have to. It was pretty clear. I think it’s time you left.” The Jonin did just that, without another word or even a glance in your direction.

With tears dripping down your cheeks, you addressed all your minor injuries, trying not to think of Kakashi.

~Akatsuki~

Pein~

In hindsight, you knew it wasn’t the best idea to rip up the forest fighting Hidan. But the Jashinist had run his mouth a little (a lot) too far this time and you dismembered him. It wasn’t that big of a deal, almost everyone had done it at some time so you thought nothing of it. Pein didn’t have the same sentiments, however, and had wasted no time calling you to his office.

“What were you thinking?” He hissed. You simply raised an eyebrow, your lover hadn’t succeeded in intimidating you in a long time. “Hidan went too far and I did what everyone else has done in the past.”

He pinched the bridge of his nose, exhaling. “That’s not an excuse, (Y/N). You’re being immature, and I will not stand for it.” You snorted. “Look, Kakuzu cuts off Hidan’s head like once a week and you’ve never had a problem, so what’s got you pissed about it this time?” He scowled, his Rinnegan becoming more prominent.

“I recruited you for your smarts and potential, not so you could bounce around doing whatever you wanted! I don’t have time to deal with your childish antics!”

You just snorted, trying not to show how deeply his words were cutting you. Pein was never like this with you, he always treated you like a goddess, and now here he was berating you over a minuscule problem.

“You don’t have to ‘deal’ with me, Pein! I’m not a kid, and if someone offends me, you’d best believe I’m not going to let it slide! Now I’ll ask you one more time. What. Is. Your. Problem?” He shot up, his hands slamming down on his desk causing you to step back, startled.

“My problem is that my girlfriend is being a fool and embarrassing me!” It really did feel like he had stabbed you through the chest this time. But you bit your cheek not to let it show. You wouldn’t give him the satisfaction. “So that’s what it is, huh? You think I’m not good enough for the great ‘God’ Pein?” You mocked.

When he didn’t respond you waved a hand, walking towards the door. “I haven’t dismissed you yet, (Y/N).” Pein’s voice rang out. You shook your head as you reached the door.

“I don’t know about that, I feel pretty dismissed right now, actually.” With that, you left, not caring to hear what else he had to say.

Deidara~

You watched as Sasori and Deidara worked on their separate projects, while you yourself worked on your own. A large, half-filled canvas was before you, baring your newest artwork. It was an abstract graffiti painting, creating a 3D letter effect. You were quite proud of it actually.

However, you could feel eyes on you and you turned, giving Sasori a questioning look as you set your paints down. “What?”

His blank brown eyes ran critically over your artwork, before shrugging and going back to his puppets. You rolled your eyes at his typical behavior before walking over to Deidara’s table.

“Hey, Dei. Whatcha working on?” He turned to you, his smile wide as he held up a clay sculpture to you. It was a chibi version of you, causing you to blush. “Do you like it, hm? It’s my best one yet, yeah!” You handled it carefully, laughing a little. “Yeah, it’s adorable!” The blonde puffed up causing you to giggle more.

“And deadly, un! These are advanced, only for special circumstances, yeah.” You were just about to question what kind of special when you noticed the puppet master in front of your canvas, looking unimpressed.

“Um, Sasori?” He didn’t respond, just waved the two of you over. You sighed as you both followed him, slightly nervous about what he was going to say. “Look, brat.” You watched as the artist’s eyes looked over every line and color. “The strokes are uneven, and the shading is off. You call this art, (Y/N)?”

Your mouth fell open at his bluntness. “Okay, one it’s abstract so that’s the point, it’s not supposed to be precise! Second, yeah, I do call this art.” Deidara offered you an apologetic smile. “Sasori no Danna is right, un, it’s a little off…” You blinked twice not comprehending his words for a moment.

“Seriously?! I never speak badly about either of your pieces, so why don’t I get the same respect?!” Sasori just rolled his eyes, sitting back down at his desk. Typical. You turned your glare to your boyfriend. He crossed his arms, not looking at you.

“It’s fine, (Y/N/N), we all have bad days, un, nothing to get worked up about, hm.” You didn’t warrant his statement with a response. You just scoffed in disbelief as you stalked out of the room. Unbelieveable.

Tbh the pic has nothing to do with this but I found it and I thought it was hilarious?

Perfection

Finn Bálor x reader

Fluff/Smut

(y/n) and Finn see each other at a BBQ that the whole roster attends. Everyone sits around a fire sharing funny stories. (y/n) and Finn quickly become interested in each other, as the others notice.

(Reposting some of my works. If you want to get tagged or untagged, let me know.) Tags:

@xfirespritex | @hardcorewwetrash | @shadow-of-wonder | @oreillyskyle | @wwesmutdonedirtcheap | @wwe-smutfics | @heelsamizayn | @heygargano | @helluvawriter | @tryingtofindaplaceinthisworld | @dorkyvillain | @caramara3 |

It’s Saturday, a chilly yet sunny one. Today, a giant BBQ is taking place, organized by WWE to promote socialization and friendship, and pretty much the whole roster will be attending it, whether it’s NXT, Raw or Smackdown, wrestlers or announcers.

You just arrived at the location, and damn, the place is crowded already. You spot some familiar faces among the crowd, and a cozy fire to warm up the evening sitting in the middle of it, some wrestlers already chilling around it.

You spot your friend Bayley there, so you head her way, waving at her in distance. She finally sees you and waves back, smiling.

“Hey girl!” She greets, smiling widely, as she pulls you down to sit next between her and Finn. You never really talked to him, just the basic greetings, but he seemed nice.

“Hey girlie!” You greet her back, sitting down. “Hi Finn.” You say, sounding shier than you intended.

“Hi (y/n).” He replies, smiling widely, his sparkling blue eyes locking on your brown ones. You stood like that a couple of seconds, until Bayley knocked you out of it.

“What took you so long?” She started, poking your chest playfully.

You spent almost half an hour talking to Bayley, up until she decided to go to the bathroom and left you alone, well not alone, lonely. And that was when Finn decided to speak to you.

“So, what are you up to?” He asks, clearly intending to start a conversation with you.

“Eh, not much, just the usual: traveling, training, crossfitting, interviewing, announcing… You?” You shrug it off, grinning, then turning to face him.

“Well, same, except that interviewing part. Replace that with wrestling and we’re good.” He chuckles, taking a sip of his drink. “But what I meant was besides our jobs. What do you do?”

“Oh. Sorry.” You mumble, feeling slightly stupid for not getting what he meant. Way to play a fool of yourself. “I… I like to listen to music and going to concerts, for one. And have lazy days and movie nights at the coziness of my home.”

“That makes two of us.” He acknowledges, once again smiling.

You and Finn sat there talking, getting to know each other, during the whole evening. Sharing experiences, funny stories, scary stories… You got along so well, it was unbelievable. Neither of you actually noticed how fast the time flew by.

Sasha and Bayley even sent you a questioning look, followed by a smirk. Those two were already planning some sort of movie on their minds for sure. Even Sami shot a knowing look at Finn. Even a blind person could see how into each other the two of you were. It was that palpable.

From that day on, you and Finn grew closer and closer. You texted each other every day, even FaceTimed. And damn, the sexual tension, the flirting, the sexual innuendos were just being too much to handle on the past few weeks.

Today, Finn invited you for one of those movie nights you both enjoyed so much. You couldn’t bring yourself to say no, because only God knows how much you want to be with him and spend time with him.

You dressed casually and comfortably: a pair of black leggings and an oversized sweatshirt. You offered to bring some popcorn or a pizza, but Finn refused, saying he had everything under control. You laughed, but deep down, seeing how dedicated and adorable he was, made your heart flutter.

You had barely knocked on the door when Finn opened it. He didn’t want to seem desperate or over anxious for your arrival. And you didn’t think so, you actually found it very cute, even more because you were literally the same.

“Hi!” He greets excitedly, stepping aside to let you in.

“Hey, I hope I’m not late.” You say softly, getting inside his apartment. He had tons of Lego sets, even a couple of boxes with some still unopen, a couple of pics hanging on the wall. You were still taking in the details of his apartment, when he snapped you out of it.

“Of course you’re not late.” He rubs the back of his head, smiling nervously. “Uh, you go sit down on the couch, I’ll grab the popcorn and a soda… or water? Yeah, you probably want water.” You start chuckling at his rambles, and he stops to gather his thoughts for a few seconds. “Or I’ll just bring both. And I’ll be right back.” And with that he disappears into the kitchen.

You took the opportunity to make yourself comfortable, sitting down on the couch and taking off your shoes, then pulling your legs on top of the couch. After a while, Finn finally appears carrying a cup of popcorn and two bottles of water and two cans of soda, and a black blanket tossed over his shoulder.

He smiles and then settles the drinks and popcorn down on the small table in front of the couch. Then, he sits down next to you, mirroring your previous actions, but crossing his legs instead, and after, places the blanket over the both of you.

“So, you can choose the movie.” He offers softly, as he gets settled.

“Okay, sure.” You smile, taking the remote from his hands.

As you were scrolling down the movie’s list on his TV, he was scrolling down his Instagram feed after posting a pic, and when he was done, he resettled himself, somehow ending up touching your foot’s palm and you yelped, letting out a chuckle. You were very ticklish.

“Good to know that you’re so ticklish.” He chuckles, but couldn’t dismiss the teasing hint in his tone.

“Oh yeah? How’s that?” You smirk, stopping your actions and turning to him, giving him your full attention. The sexual tension is thick and tense in the air right now.

“I don’t know, it might be a valuable information in a close future.” He grins widely, turning his whole body to you.

“Oh is that so?” You purr, kneeling down on the couch and leaning towards him. “How close are we talking about?”

“Very… Very close. Apparently.” He mutters, swallowing hard at your advances, somehow surprised. Enjoying his awkwardness, you move back to your first position. “Or maybe not.” He mumbles, indecipherably.

You grab the remote again, continuing your task, and obviously, pretending to be unbothered by what just happened. He stayed quiet and lost in thought for a while. Until he finally snapped out of it.

“Oh fuck it.” He mumbles right before he leans in, hooking a finger under your chin, and presses his lips to yours rather softly.

You easily respond to his kiss, melting down to his touch instantly. He pulls your body down on the couch, gently hovering over you as he kept kissing you.

“What about the movie?” You mumble against his lips, not exactly sure why you even brought it up. He stops the kiss, looking at you confused. “Forget it.” You snap quickly, hooking a hand on the back of his neck, pulling him down for another kiss.

“We can watch the movie if you want.” He mutters, breaking the kiss and trying to control his breathing. You could feel his hard-on pressing against you, and the movie was the last thing on your mind right now.

“Fuck the movie, Finn.” You chuckle, pulling his shirt over his head and tossing it to the floor. “No, I’m sorry.” You apologize, confusion filling his features. “Fuck me.”

That request switched something on him. Even though you were clearly on the same page and meaning the same with those innuendos, saying the exact words meant something to him. He starts removing your sweatshirt, biting his lower lip in anticipation.

He growls lowly when he notices you’re not wearing a bra. He tosses your sweatshirt near his own, his hands instantly caressing your boobs and pinching your nipples. Now you were the one biting your lips in anticipation. You couldn’t wait to feel him fully.

“Oh, c’mon, Finn…” You whine in desperation. You’re feeling his erection against you, you’re so wet that it’s getting uncomfortable and man, no foreplay is needed honestly, there was so much buildup.

“What, love?” He whispers as he peppers kisses down your collarbone and chest.

“You know what.” You reply, failing to dismiss your eagerness. He stopped his actions to face you, urging you to explain. “I need you, Finn. All of you. Right now.”

He didn’t need to be told twice. In under a minute, he stripped you off your leggings and panties, and he got rid of his own sweatpants and underwear. He starts kissing down your body and you knew damn well what he was about to do. And even though, you’d love to have him do it, you needed him.

“Finn, don’t. I need you inside.” You plead, running your fingers through his hair, as you feel his hot breath grazing the inside of your thighs.

“But love… I want to make this last…” He confesses, pouting softly.

“We have the whole night.” You wink, smiling down at him. He loved that idea, the grin he had plastered on his face gave him way. He lightly bit the inside of your thigh, before trailing kisses up your body, until he finally reaches your lips and kisses you deeply.

He strokes himself a couple of times, before pushing inside of you. The sight in front of you had you drooling, and your heart fluttering. You had no doubt you could easily fall madly in love with this man. And damn, you’re sure you’re already halfway through.

He starts thrusting into you, slowly at first so you could adjust yourself to him. He picked up a steady rhythm. One that allowed you to keep kissing and caressing each other’s bodies, savoring the moment.

You groped his ass a couple of times, also running your hands up and down his thick back. He gradually starts picking up a faster rhythm, as you both approached your peaks.

Neither of you spoke. The only thing hearable in the room was your moans, his growls and the sound of your skin slapping against each other. It was all so intimate, and sexy. You feel like you’ve known him… his body, for ages.

He kept thrusting into you, as he nips on your skin, leaving marks everywhere. You’re sure you’re leaving marks on him as well, so you’re even.

A couple more minutes later, you both came, shuddering and cursing, riding your orgasms out. That was the more intense sex you’ve ever had, that much you’re sure.

When you both calmed down, he got off you, and picked up the blanket from the floor. He laid behind you, and pulled the blanket above the both of you. Then, he pulled you to him by wrapping his arms tightly around your waist.

“Movie now?” You chuckle, leaning up and placing a kiss on his jaw.

“Post-sex cuddles and a movie? Sounds like perfection to me.”

the second and final part of the childhood friend! daniel au

(image credit)

pairing: kang daniel x reader (featuring kang dongho) genre: fluff, angst summary: You’ve never let your relationship with Kang Daniel move beyond the fun and physical, especially since he’s your brother’s best friend. Throw in a distraction, some sexy stubble, and a meddling brother, and you have a recipe for disaster.

one | two

you don’t expect to meet your childhood friend kang daniel again at university, but when you do, it’s only a matter of time till you become friends again 

it’s a little different now, your old hide and seek games replaced by lazy afternoons at his apartment, his arm comfortably around your shoulders and his cats on both your laps

it doesn’t take long for the two of you to fall into a rhythm, and by your third year, you've taken five general classes together despite having different majors

when you enter your basic philosophy and logic class, daniel’s already taken a seat beside a pretty girl in a sundress, which has you swallowing down the drop of jealousy building up in your throat and sitting elsewhere

to your left is an boy—no, man, you think—with stubble dark against his pale skin and an expression so bored it’s intimidating, and you don’t realize you’re staring till he looks at you and smirks, like a tiger spotting prey

you bite your lip and smile, feeling the tips of your ears turning warm, because he may not be your usual type, but that tattoo peeking from beneath the low collar of his white shirt is attractive as hell

when the professor asks all of you to pair up and you see daniel talking to the girl next to him, you shrug and turn to mr. sexy tiger, as you’ve taken to calling him in your head

his name is kang dongho, and though you’re a little worried about whether he’ll be a good project partner, soon you’re saving his number and pointedly not looking at daniel, who’s been glancing at you with a frown

later that day, you’re at daniel’s apartment, his hand at the back of your neck and drawing you closer

you and daniel make out every so often whenever neither of you are dating, and that’s completely normal between friends, isn’t it?

but you pull back, asking him whether he’s thinking of seriously dating the girl from philosophy class because you need to know if your arrangement has to change any time soon 

he says no, and you pull him into the kiss, and he tastes like the gummy candies he likes to eat, some sugar on the corner of his lip for you to lick, and you’ve never had a sweet tooth but daniel’s mouth is more addictive than candy

afterwards, you’re texting dongho about your meeting the next day, and daniel is laughing because kang dongho is the complete opposite of all the boys you’ve gone for throughout your three years at university

“remember lai guanlin”

“sTOP HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW HE WAS SO YOUNG”

you stick your tongue out at him and call him an idiot, but at midnight, daniel insists on walking you back to your dorm, and you ignore the little voice in your head that tells you how easy it would be to pull him close and finally confess what had been at the tip of your tongue over six years ago

that weekend, you’re at the library with dongho, reminding yourself that you’re an adult, there to study and not to ogle the exposed area of his chest nor the way he bites his pen in thought

then you get texts from daniel asking for help with the assignment, and you roll your eyes before sending the relevant book titles since you and dongho have practically finished your project 

[5:40 PM] cat daniel: ur rly so hot when ur being competent

you’re grinning at your phone, choosing the appropriate sticker to send, when dongho asks you if you want to get barbecue with him tonight

“as partners?” you say, confused, and dongho smirks in that way that makes you melt, laughing at you, and your cheeks turn pink

“i’ll get the car,” he says, taking your stunned silence as affirmation, and you’re still smiling when daniel texts you again, telling you to come over, but you only have enough time to send a sad face and ‘can’t, bbq with the tiger’ before dongho says he’s outside

back at his apartment, daniel begins to feel uneasy because you’ve only ever taken your dates to cute, trendy little places like cafes and diners, and they’ve always been lanky younger boys like sewoon and jihoon, not men who look at you like they want to devour you like this kang dongho

daniel knows it’s hypocritical to feel this way when he can never get enough of your lips, when he’s always glad to see you wearing those off-shoulder tops you like so much because it’s easier for him to mouth at your neck and collarbones, and he tells himself that he’s worried and not jealous, no not at all 

you’re back at the dorm with ramen and beer from the nearby convenience store because you’d been too shy to eat like you wanted in front of dongho, when you get a call from your older brother 

“what’s this i hear about you dating a bad boy?” daehyun says in a teasing tone, but you can hear the warning in his voice, and you’re angry because only one person knew that you were going out tonight

“what did daniel tell you about dongho, oppa?” you say, trying to keep your voice level 

your brother sighs, saying, “he called your date bad news. are you going over to daniel’s apartment? we need to talk about this later, Y/N,” and you grunt in response before hanging up, pulling on a hoodie and rubber shoes and rushing to daniel’s apartment to give him a piece of your mind

when he opens the door, you storm inside, your arms crossed over your chest as you seethe and say, “what the fuck?” and daniel smiles uncomfortably, shrugging

the two of you stand in awkward silence, and for the first time since you met him you see daniel’s face turn serious 

“i don’t think your brother would approve of you dating him,” he says, looking away because both of you know that it’s bullshit, but before you can call him out, he asks, “have you kissed him?"

your fists are at your side and you shut your eyes tight, holding back the waves of frustration and hurt and anger that are making it difficult to breathe

“that’s none of my brother’s business, and it’s certainly not yours,” you say, narrowing your eyes at him, and you can’t stop yourself from poking him in the chest, your face near his as you hiss, “and do you fucking think he’d approve of you sticking your tongue down my throat every tuesday, asshole?” 

“it’s different with us,” he says lamely, still not looking you in the eye, and all the fight drains out of you, leaving you feeling exhausted

“of course it is, daniel,” you say, the hurt palpable in your voice, “because i know it’ll never be anything more for you.” 

you don’t look at him when you leave his apartment, and when he texts you throughout the week you delete his messages without reading them 

kang dongho takes you out on one more date, this time to the zoo, but all you can think about when you see the lions and tigers are daniel’s cats, and you find yourself tearing up, apologizing to dongho and telling him it’s better if you stay friends 

“it was worth a shot,” he says before taking you home, and you’re sorry you and dongho have so little in common because he’s really quite sweet under that intimidating exterior

you tell yourself it has nothing to do with a certain b-boying idiot 

but later that night you remember how early on in your freshman year, you and daniel had ended up at an ice cream parlor past ten in the evening after terrible dates with other people, how the wet asphalt had glistened under the street lights, the way daniel’s eyes twinkled as he took your hand and brought you back to his place

that first time, he’d tasted like cupcake sprinkles and home, but you’d pulled back and laughed it off, and you had been the one to bring up the arrangement because ‘friends who make out every so often’ sounded better to you than the unknown you’d have to face if you’d admitted any feelings

daniel is awake thinking back to the same moment, the space on his couch feeling empty without you in it, and he realizes you deserve more than what he’s been willing to give you, more than the bits and pieces of himself no one else is willing to accept, that flirtatious texts and kissing sessions are not all he wants with you

two days later, you’re at your dorm studying when someone knocks, and you open the door to kang daniel, looking more nervous than you’ve ever seen him

before you can shut the door, he says, “i’m an idiot,” and you narrow your eyes, gesturing for him to continue, “i’m an idiot who wanted your heart without asking, who wanted all the best parts of you without showing you the best parts of me. i’m a coward who couldn’t tell you six years ago when i left, or three years ago when i met you again, or two weeks ago when i called your brother instead, that i like you and want to be with you—are you—are you crying?” 

and he pulls you to his chest like he has every time you’ve cried in front of him, and you can feel in the tightness of his embrace that he would do anything in his power to make things okay again

“you’re a big fucking idiot,” you mumble into his chest, and he laughs, his hand rubbing soothing circles onto your lower back

“i’m sorry,” daniel says, “i really like you,” and you stay like that for a while, feeling lighter than you have in ages

you pull back to smile up at him, stroking his cheek, watching his face for his reaction to your next words

“you’re telling my brother”

and his eyes go wide, the colour draining from his face, but you’re laughing at him, relaxing in his arms, and daniel knows two things:

first, that meeting you fifteen years ago was one of the best things to happen to him

and second, that the many years ahead will be that much sweeter with you by his side.

25 days of Reylo, Count Down to the Holidays 2! 

Decorating for Us.

AN: This should have been posted on December 2nd but I fell behind. Here is day two of 25 days of Reylo Countdown to the Holidays!

No Trigger Warnings.

This is Modern AU, Ben Solo and Rey. Established Relationship and Christmas fluff. The theme is opposites attract and domestic love in Christmas Decoration.

Happy Reading!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Rey woke up to the helpless squeaking of Ben's cat Darth Squeaks. Squeaks was a large fluffy black cat, who for being blind, knew exactly where Ben's nose was to pat him with his paws. The black haired giant of a man, mumbled to himself, batting the cat away. Rey giggled and shook his shoulders, “Someone is hungry, you feed the furbaby and I will get us breakfast.” she kissed his temple. He sighed but obeyed. He pulled their dark purple comforter and lavender cotton sheets off and swung his legs over the bed and into his black slippers. Squeaks chirped happily as he jumped down and trotted to his food bowl on the carpet by their closet. Rey gawked at him, he was only his his black boxers, his toned body on display for her. He grabbed the cat's food bowl and went to the kitchen.

Rey got out of bed, her pajama pants were snowmen and shirt had a penguin with a santa hat on. She dressed into black leggings that had snowmen and snowflakes on them and a thin grey sweater. She put her hair up in a sloppy bun and placed on her Christmas lights necklace. She slipped into her penguin in ugly sweater slippers and met Ben in the hallway. His eyes were still half down, he smiled at her and then made kissy noises so Squeaks would follow him back down the hall. Rey made them beacon and eggs with toast.

“I made the bed, we should change the sheets tomorrow.” Ben's voice was husky with sleep, he had his semi-rimless black glasses on, a plain navy tee and his paint stained work jeans. He saw his black mug with black coffee sitting next to a plate of scrambled eggs. He smiled and kissed her, taking a seat next to her at the island countertop in their Kitchen. “Thanks for breakfast.”

With over easy egg on her toast in her mouth she nodded and with her mouth half full said, “Welcome hun, tank yov for makin da bed.”

He bit back a laugh and opted for their topic of the day, “Well, Squeaks is fed, we're about to be fed, it's Saturday morning on December 2nd, why don't we decorate for Christmas?”

She licked her fingers but paused at the last part of his sentence. Her eyes went wide and brightened, she gasped, “Yes! Yes, November just slipped by so fast I didn't even think! I'll go get my stuff from the shed.” they finished their meal in comfortable silence. Ben taking their plates and places them and the frying pan into the dishwasher. Their cat jumped nimbly onto the island and laid onto his back to receive belly rubs from Rey and Ben.

They went to their shed in the backyard. It was mostly Ben things, childhood toys, photo albums, note books of old writings, his high school and college year books and other memorabilia, then there was the Halloween decorations and Chritmas. Ben had one large plastic container and Rey had a shoe box. It started hitting her as Ben closed and locked the shed and went back inside with her that she didn't have a lot. He placed his large box down, opened it and got out white icicle lights, a 4ft plastic Christmas Tree, a shoe box that had very childish handwriting that said, 'Ben Organa-Solo's Ordaments'. She stifled her laughter at the misspelling and the image of a small Ben with ears he didn't quite grow into yet scribbling this onto his box. There was a few more things, wrapping paper and bows as well as bag for gifts, a small musical merry-go-round and his Christmas Stocking that was hand knitted by his mother.  

He turned to her, gesturing for her to open up her box. It was mostly ornaments, pictures of her and Poe when they were teenagers, another of her Finn and Poe in University. She had a cloth calendar in the shape of a Christmas tree with red pockets and toys drawn on the pockets- there was even a little stuffed Santa that kept the date while peeking out to see if you're bad or good. Ben sat there at her attention, asking her about her things and letting her put them where she'd like.

The tree went first, on the coffee table in the living room, he put sliver tinsel around it to make it fuller. They carefully arranged their ornaments, heed taken to not over crowd. He let Rey twist the Merry-go-round music and put it on the island of the kitchen as a center piece. It played jingle bells a little faster than she thought it would. Outside with ladders and laughs they hung the icicle lights. In the windows they used command hooks to get blue lights in the large living room window that faced the street.

Ben, content with the minimal décor, poured water into her red kettle and placed it on the stove top. He busied himself with getting the coco mixes and marshmallows. Rey tried to keep smiling, there was nothing that separated the L-Shape of the dinning room, kitchen and living room, she stood at the glass dinning room table and stared around. It didn't look right. When she lived with her adoptive brother, Poe, the Dameron's house was full to the brim with decorations. The tree was huge and real, there was a tree skirt, signs that said things like 'This House Believes' on every surface of wall space, over mitts and wash cloths all Christmas themed.

He noticed. The kettle screamed, he turned the heat off, poured their coco and placed Marshmallows in hers and two in his. He squirted caramel twice in his and she absentmindedly asked him to put whip cream as well as caramel sauce on top. She took it from him and peeled her eyes away to narrow in on the only Christmas item in the kitchen. Ben cleared his throat to get her attention. “What's the matter, Sweetheart?”

“This doesn't seem very Christmasy- it's our place but with a tree, some lights and three trinkets.” she mumbled.

He pried, “What makes you say that?”

“The Damerons had so much, Poe and I felt like it changed to some sort of winter wonderland over night.”

Ben paused, he thought of his words carefully, “As you know, I'm a minimalist, and as you know I usually only go all out for Halloween-” he glanced her way to see her attentively listening, “Christmas can leave a bad taste in my mouth, it wasn't always happy for me- Mom tried her best, over doing it in some ways. Mostly to make the both of us feel better when Han ditched us. In fact the Christmas when I was fifteen, I spent it holding my mother as she sobbed. My mother wanted marriage counseling, my father told her he'd sign the divorce papers, he wasn't good enough for her.” the bad taste was in his mouth then, “He was right, he's not good enough for my mother, but I wish he would have listened to her- because as much as it pains me to say it they work in their own sort of strange way and he made her happy at some point.”

“I'm sorry Ben.”

He scratched the back of his head and rubbed his neck, “Sorry, that was much to heavy for this morning and I lost track of my point, my point is- we're not my parents and do you want to go Christmas shopping?”

Her eyes light up brighter than the light they hung. “Yes!”

“Let's go to Target then.” he grabbed their mugs and deposited them into the dishwasher.

“Won't that get expensive.” He glanced at her, “I am the author of four New York Time best selling novels and working on a just finished one of a three part series that Armitage says is going to be another, and my mother is a Senator, I think I can handle a trip to Target.” he bragged. “Besides, with all the work you're putting me to, you could buy us dinner.”

“Hawiian BBQ?”

“You know me so well.”

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Chicken, pulled pork, and beef with white rice and veggies. The smell was savory, making both their mouths water. They split the food, Rey guzzling her orange soda and Ben with his Dr Pepper. There was a small army of target bags at their feet and the afternoon seemed to have gone away, the sun would set soon. Once bellies were full, Rey sprung into action. She was replaced the over mitts with red ones that had cute snowmen, a kitchen towel to match. In the bathroom, which normal held a grey and purple theme was slowly transformed into a pink, rose gold, Christmas corner, a gold glittering Reindeer on the counter with the sink, rose gold Christmas Trees and cream colored towels. The dinning room received a tiny black tree decorated with old school game console controllers. Signs with cute sayings and sweet pictures were put up with command hooks. Another tiny green Christmas Tree was put in the living room with the HO HO HO red pillows on their chocolate brown couch. Fleece throws over the two lazy boys, one being beige in color with black cats in scarves playing with colorful yarn balls the other one black with little dogs in hat playing with balls. Gold, red, and sliver tinsel everywhere. And last a velvet rich red tree skirt. Squeaks sniffed the tree skirt and then jumped onto the coffee table and snuggled under the tree for a nap. Ben took a picture on his phone, “Squeaks seal of approval.”

She smiled down at the feline, she turned to Ben, “This could just be my Christmas gift this year, you spent a lot on me.”

“I spent a lot on us, seeing your excitement is enough.” he blew her off.

She grabbed his hand, “No, really, thank you. Don't get me anything else for Christmas.”

He glanced at her and kissed the back of her hand, “I am driving for us now, not me, besides, you really made this place feel like a Hallmark movie.”

“You hate Hallmark movies.”

“I'd watch this one.” he said with a wink.

She smirked and then glanced at the tree. She played with one of his Ornaments, she giggled and thought to herself 'ordaments'. She then realized she didn't really appreciate the decorating of the tree. A knot twisted and sunk in her stomach. She had been so consumed with how much decorating was that she forgot just to slow down and enjoy it with him. She started taking them down. He seemed disgruntled when he asked, “What are you doing, Rey?”

“I want a redo, can I have that?” she snapped- she winced then, she hadn't meant to snap. “Sorry, I got embarrassed. I spent so much time thinking about Christmas with The Damerons that I forgot this is our Christmas.”

“Hmm...” he eyed her before he nodded with a smile.

She laid them out into a pile of his and hers. He picked one up, it was of a crown. “What's with the crown?” Rey asked.

“My maternal grandfather called her his princess, so when I was born she told me I was a prince.”

she snorted, “Started your ego young I see.”

He chuckled, “Your turn.”

She picked up a Saguaro that had a Santa hat on it, “This is from when I was 13, they adopted me around Christmas time and did this to remember where I came from. Arizona was a rough place but I came to live here in Washington it really was greener on the other side, but I was to remember where I came from.” she put it just above his crown on the tree. “You next, but only the ones that mean something.”

He picked up a one of a Sword and Shield, “Han gave this to me before the real problems began between him and my Mother, he told me that chivalry didn't die with me.”

She grabbed an airplane, “Poe gave this to me after he came back from his first deployment.”

He picked up the last unique ornament on his end, the others simply being glass orbs of red, gold and clear with glittering white. It was of a Quill, “Mom gave this to me when I published my first book.”

She grabbed her last unique ornament that wasn't red and green plastic orbs, it was a gold glittering key, “Dad gave this to me when I graduating University, he said this was the key to the world of possibilities I opened myself up for. “ She placed it next to his quill. They hugged before finishing the redecorating.

It was going on seven at night, Squeaks stretched on the tree skirt and began to beg. Jumping gracefully from the coffee table and onto the couch with them. Bumping their hands with his cold little wet nose and demanding their pets. “Someone is hungry.” Ben said, picking up the fluff ball and cooing to him. Rey left to feed him, mixing in his beef wet food with his dry food. Squeak wiggled desperately out of Ben's arms when he heard his meal being prepared. He trotted down the hall after Rey, leaving Ben alone with his thoughts.

He spotted Rey coming back down the hall. She stretched her arms up and asked him if he wanted some coco. He agreed and watched her. He thought to himself, this was going to be the Best Christmas.

The Ceiling is the Roof  On Board the Dealer Ship - Exumas

Exuma Islands to Nassau, Bahamas 

March 5-12, 2017

Sunday, March 5 - Anchored at Stocking Island Bay

Wheels Up...literally as we leave Greenville and are in Georgetown, Great Exhuma, two hours later.  Took longer to get through customs than practically it did to fly there.  A nasty, windy low pressure all over the Caribbean and apparently south Fla, so fluidity and flexibility the key to happiness. Elvis saturated us en route to The Dealer Ship, where Cat, Frank and John greeted us on board with hot towels, champagne, gorgeous flowers, cucumber water and a charcuterie platter.  What weather??

Settling in and hanging out on the newly varnished table on the aft deck and pretty much stay there. And why not?  Dinner on board was delicious of Low Country shrimp and andouille sausage gumbo over rice with salad and asparagus. Heaven.

Monday, March 6 - Anchored at Stocking Island Bay

Supposed to leave today to head towards Cat Island and Conception Island, which is across big water and on the"outside" of the island chains, but the winds ended that, so we explored Stocking Island across from Georgetown. Deposited at the Chat and Chill restaurant, we walked around the cove and forded a small channel at low tide to get on the Monument Trail and Indigo Trail. You can walk the beach to get to the trail up to the monument or you can walk the ridge and down through the tree canopy/brush the whole way for great 360 degree views of Stocking and beyond. Continue down the hill to the hurricane hole and old abandoned resort for a protected and pretty beach since the ocean side beach was VERY rough and windy from the winds.

Back for lunch at Chat and Chill which went from being deserted to being a happening spot, running into friends from the States, Bill Abernathy and family and Tracy and Giles Tucker, who have a house on Great Exhuma, near Georgetown in February Point.

Back for chat and chill on board before dinner of grilled BBQ chicken, slaw, roasted brussels sprouts and new potatoes. Fab. A dessert of Cards Against Humanity made for a ROTFLMAO evening.

Tuesday, March 7 - Travel from Stocking Island to Big Majors/Fowl Cays

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip, that started from this Stocking Port, aboard the Dealer Ship.

Brian was a mighty sailin' man, Frank was brave and sure, eight passengers set sail that day for a three hour tour, a three hour tour.

The weather started getting rough, the Dealer Ship was tossed. If not for the patch and Dramamine, the guests would have tossed, oh but one did toss.

The ship's anchored on the shore of this luxury Bahama isle with Aurelia, her husband too, the newsman and his wife, Hanky Pank, the car dealer, Jim and Louise here on The Dealer Ship.

Dinner at Fowl Cay was certainly fine, stuffed snapper with crab or ribs, it will "fly you to the moon," all free for $23 thou.

So this is the tale of our castaways, they are here for not enough time. They'll definitely make the best of it, it certainly won't be hard.

Cat and John and the Skipper too will do their very best, to make the others comfortable in their tropic island nest.

Cell phones, movies and Hermes china, every single luxury like Leo DiCapprio, its as fine as it can be.

So join us here each week my friends, we are never gonna leave. The eight lucky wannabes here on The Dealer Ship!!

P.S. After anchoring near Fowl Cay and Big Majors, it was a bit of a relief to step onto terra firma and have a meal prepared for us at Fowl Cay resort. Another cool and small island of several villas complete with a boat for each and restaurant. Book ahead for dinner and your choice of two entrees, drinks and house wine all included. The snapper stuffed with crab meat was delish as was the short ribs. Divine.

Wednesday, March 8 - Fowl and Big Majors Cay

Winds are down, temp is up and a dinghy ride first and MOST importantly to see and feed the pigs at Big Majors Cay.  This was after the crew made their garbage run and stopped to see the pigs with Cat returning with a bite wound to prove it. Onward to Staniel Cay for a walk around the island, trip to the Thunderball Grotto which was rewarding as always, but a powerful current curtailed longevity, so back for our reward at the Staniel Cay Yacht Club where a liquid lunch prevailed, but was deliciously accompanied by fish tacos, lobster salad, and Mahi Mahi sandwiches.

The Dealer Ship left to head towards Compass Cay, one of the most beautiful beaches in the Bahamas, while we took the dinghy from Staniel to meet them there. Lots of commentary, and upon arrival and invigorated from the day's activities plus some liquid courage, we enthusiastically headed for the Bubble Baths on Staniel.  Wind, waves, rain and too many captains steered the boat right back to The Dealer Ship for a hot tub and snacks. Yet, it was decided to go the 3 miles to Compass before partaking in hot tub luxuries. A sunset++ later and no hot tub, the tenderloin dinner was punted, replaced by easy make pasta and salad. Dinner was a delightful calm on the aft and retiring early. A great day.

Thursday, March 9 - Anchored at Warderick Wells Cay

SUP? Windy excursion, so haul down the dinghy and off to Warderick Wells Cay for exploring the Bahamas National Trust Park full of walking trails and flora education. Gorgeous large cove with a brilliant white sandy beach and moorings that are reserved through the park service. Spectacular water color of various shades in the cove which is where the hikes depart through the salt flats, black and white mangroves starved for water and battered by Hurricane Matthew making the landscape even more dramatic.  Over and along the ridge of the hardened sand dunes and coral for incredible vistas of the coral rocky cliffs coastline on the other side of the island. Post walk was a delightful swim in the cove and then over to snorkel in the Coral Gardens area at the mouth of the cove.  Mask candy of underwater vegetation and a few LARGE sting rays.

Bits of cell service succeeded in letting it be known that Frank had indeed found a way to have the noon UNC-Miami game on TV, so The Loaner (?) headed back to be greeted by a salon Dean Dome replica and a huge spread of yummy munchies.  A Tar Heel victory and a drop in the winds made for happy travels to Shroud Cay, about an hour away.

Once anchored, off in the dinghy for a cocktail cruise through the mangroves (...at high tide.) Spectacular through the authentic lazy river and ending at a gorgeous area called the Washing Machine at the opposite side of the island emptying into the ocean. Back for actual hot tubbing and cleaned up for tenderloin, grilled romaine, haricots vert and mashed potatoes extending perfection.

Friday, March 10th Anchored at Shroud Cay

Incredible weather of calm winds, blue sky melting into one with the aqua water. Captain Frank's plan was to drop us at a mangrove cut through, paddleboard cross island and be picked up back at the beach. Quite the trip around the south end of the island to find the cut dried up at low tide. Onward to the next cut, the previous evening cruise. An almost beached dingy, a bow cleat hangup and a paddle decision reversal still made for a delightful time on the beach as the others returned in short order....from the north end of the island.  Gorgeous views up a quick trail where the DEA used to spot on the drug runs, to see a 360 of Shroud. Large, long, white beach with crystal aqua water and the mangrove creeks of sharks and stingrays. Also part of the Bahamian National Trust....totally deserted. Back to lunch and launch to Highbourne Cay.

Beautiful run of about 2 hours to a dock, internet and provisions (limes, t-shirts, and Worcestershire) at Highbourne.  Grabbed the free bikes and took off for great beach views and the Lagoon. Villas all rented by a family 60th birthday gathering who were eating at the lagoon.  Note, bikes and island "venues" all available for boat and villa guests use and golf carts for rent for boat guests. The slightest bit of exercise earned everyone pina coladas, Kaliks, and mudslides owning the bar and the sunset in prep for the Heels-Dookies. Unfortunately, the sun set on the Heels at the ACC tourney...most irritating, but soothed by burgers, roasted veggies and fresh fish in the galley. Defeat cannot dampen paradise.

Saturday, March 11th - Docked at Highbourne Cay

Joined the 60th birthday party group exercise at the open air gym. Hilarious. Earned our Kaliks for the day. Off by dinghy to Norman Cay to snorkel around a DC-9 drug plane crash. Fascinating and bit creepy as it is largely intact....great reef for good fish viewing and yet another sting ray. The trip alone up in the sound and back in the ocean was spectacular. Water every color of blue on the spectrum and looking as if you could touch the ocean floor just by sticking your hand in the water.  Since the Dealer Ship had to "check out," we met it outside and journeyed to Nassau. What a trip. Glass conditions, outstanding homemade pizza and bright sunshine was magic on the 2.5 hour trip over about 10 feet of water and white ocean floors for a treat of coral viewing.

Hated seeing Atlantis in the horizon meaning our trip was nearing the end. Docking at Bay St. Marina, owned by Tommy Stoughton's cousin Peter Maury, we laughed at dancing spring breakers and hustled to doll up for a trip to Lyford Cay as guests of Ruth E and Frank Holding for dinner at the Yacht Club.  Saturday night in Nassau, two mafia suburban rides and one fab sunset on one end and the full moon at the other ended up at Lyford for a delightful evening of lobster, snapper, and the famous Rum Dums and a martini or two.  A Dook victory, non-negotiated fares, Daylight Savings Time change and no dock key could have created some whimpers, but just not possible.

Sunday, March 12 - docked at Bay St. Marina, Nassau, New Providence, Bahamas

Ugh. Make way for the B team, with secret hopes of snow in NC delaying everyone on both ends for one. more. day.

Sigh.
