Back on the Stella di Mare, Februaru 16, 2011
Home from New York and time to play! I’m on the deck of the Stella di Mare with my two favorite ladies. We’re heading south–to Miami. Victor is with me, and he’s got a taste for stone crabs so we’ll be dining at Joe’s. The girls will love it. They can wear their pretty little dresses and show off their bodies.[/dcs_p][dcs_p]
Right now the girl’s aren’t wearing much. As soon as we left the Boca Raton Yacht Club, their tops came off. They’ve been sunbathing and sipping champagne cocktails ever since, one of them telling Victor her life story. She’s getting looped, and he looks at me and gives a little shake of his head. He takes the drink out of her hand and says, “Doll, you talk too much.”[/dcs_p][dcs_p]
She falls silent, and for a few minutes all we can hear is the hum of the big engines. The air is warm and balmy, the sun sinking in the west, behind the buildings–the Miami skyline is shining gold in the dwindling light, and I wonder if this is why they call it the Gold Coast.
