When I got back to my perch, a young couple had come out to play dominoes. They were both giggling a lot and loud, distracting me from trying to write. No, to be honest, I couldn’t blame that on them…my thoughts were still all over the map wondering if I would truly do what was planned for this afternoon and tomorrow. Tomorrow is especially important to me because I would be meeting new people and visiting a property I’ve been wanting to tour for a long time.
I get another Stripe. The young girl is the owner’s daughter. She interacts very professionally. She turned the giddiness off when she waited on me and was all about business. I was impressed.
The three of us chatted briefly. I wasn’t in the mood for conversation so I excused myself as soon as I got the opportunity. I was fighting the urge to look at the time. I had a feeling it was long passed 3:00.
Thanks Sammy
Went back out to walk the beach hoping the scenery would take the time off my mind.
The phone rings…FINALLY!!! But it wasn’t O’Neil’s number. I answer, it is no-name driver.
“Vi?”
“Yeah??”
“I apologize for leaving like that but my girl was vexed and need to cool down.”
“No problem.”
“You still at the bar in Long Bay?”
“Yes. Why?”
“I want to come back to keep you company.”
“NO WAY! It is best we never know each other’s names…have a good evening.”
The time is 5:47. I break down and call O’Neil. He tells me he’s in town…Port Antonio and wouldn’t be in Long Bay for another hour or so.
Hour or so????
I reminded him about us getting together at 3:00. What happened to that????
“I comin…I comin now. Just let me get two more people to ride down.”
“WHAT??!!??”
I was OUT! Quick gathered my stuff, said good bye to the lovebirds and went to the street to grab a cab.
you describe events and the words make me feel like i'm there . . .
Vi, I must say, there's never a dull moment in your trip report....and, that's a good thing!!!
