Adventurous Love

Chapter 2

"why is your face gloomy?"

I looked up to find my elder sister looking at me with that concerned expression of hers. I shake my head to signify a no to her  question. What happened next was expected.

"Make room for me."

We are currently in her sitting room. I came straight to her house after receiving shocking news from my supposed boyfriend adding to the headache of my unemployment.

"Spill it out "

With a sigh I started narrating my sad tale that happened all within twenty four hours of my life.

She looked at me open mouthed all through the narration of my sad tale.

She suddenly shouted "Mike is gay?"

I pressed my mouth to her palm to shush her knowing that her husband was in the kitchen tending to the kids .I was already embarrassed enough. She tried to remove my hands from her mouth. After promising that she would keep her voice down, I removed my hand.

"Apparently, he just found out that he was gay."

Her face took on a horrified expression. "That's shocking and terrible especially for you."

I could relate. I had originally thought that I wasn't attractive enough for Mike that he didn't advance on me sexually. It seems I was in the wrong. Mike is gay! I'm still trying to get my head wrapped around that fact.

"You won't talk about my lack of job?" I whined.

Mary scrunched her nose which she did whenever she was irritated about something.

"You know I never liked that your boss. I could always tell Ethan to find you another job."

Immediately, I refused. I don't like being a charity case and Mary has tried enough for me. Our parents died in a plane crash while on vacation. Mary just graduated from college at that time so she had to look for job to take care of me and other fees.

"Would you stay for dinner?"

Time is far spent and I might as well stay here and leave tomorrow morning. Also I wouldn't miss the opportunity of playing with my niece and nephews. Mary has two wonderful boys and a girl. They are all so adorable.

The knock in my head persisted and I groggily got up from the bed to open the door. After a sumptuous dinner and a wonderful time with my sweeties, I decided to rest my head. Then who the f**k is knocking?

I dragged the door open with the force of my anger.

As expected my sister was standing outside all pyjama and round protruded belly. She smiled that devious smile of hers.

"What do you want?" I was tired and needed to sleep

"I need to talk to you."

"Is it urgent? Can't it wait till tomorrow?"

She looked at me sternly. "It can't wait Clarissa. "

"OK...come in."

She sat on the cozy couch beside the bedside table while I sat on the bed rubbing my eyes in the process.

"My husband and I applied for a particular all paid trip or should I call it vacation to an island?"

"So?"I said getting irritated.

"Just listen to the end. She shouted. So...this trip is something like who gets lucky to get picked. We originally j just applied for the fun of it. And guess what? Ethan just received confirmation that we got picked."

She squealed and laughed like a maniac. I managed a small smile on my face. "Congratulations."

Immediately she quietened down. "I haven't gotten to the best part yet. You know I'm pregnant and due anytime soon we can't honour the invitation so we decided to chose you to go instead of us. Isn't that wonderful?"

She resumed her squealing while I looked at her dumbfounded.

"You want me to go on a trip?"

"Yes! Think of this as a reprieve from the recent trouble you've been through. Go and relax,enjoy and even date as many guys as possible. Have some d**k too."

My face reddened at the choice of her words. I thought of this open invitation. I'm currently jobless and my life is so sad right now. It wouldn't hurt to enjoy myself and live freely for a little while,right?

My face broadened with a smile at the thought. Mary's smile was even more wide.

"We're going for some kinky lingerie tomorrow baby. I closed the door quickly on her face while blushing furiously.

*****

We practically scoured all the the dressing shops in los Angeles. I'm so tired and exhausted. After buying more lingeries,we were done for the day. Thank you God! The trip is a period of three months and it's all paid for  -- hotel bills, food and other things. I conducted an online check on the island.

Croesus island. Located at the south side of the Carrribean. Prominent feature is it's serenity and the simpleness of it's inhabitants.

Hmmm....not bad.

And the island is close to the sea!

I scoured through the photos that google provided of the island. It's beautiful, the surroundings, the people of croesus all look wonderful and they engage in simple trade.

I think I would enjoy my time there.

With that I drifted off to wonderland.
