said taking it from me and heading to the dressing rooms.
    I followed her and once we had our dresses and shoes for the evening we headed back to the hotel to show er and get ready for dinner. As the sun was setting the Singapore air cooled a little, it was warm and breezy, it felt like summer back home. Orchard road was lit up with beautiful white, blue and pink lights in the trees. It was the cleanest city I’d ever seen in my life, all of the people were nice and smiled at us as we made our way to an indoor/outdoor bistro and bar. Immediately we recognized people from the ship, and they recognized us, but we still kept to ourselves, quietly making our way to a table.
    Jessica had decided on the dark blue dress. It was short, and barely came down to her mid thighs when she walked, and it was tight and strapless perfectly showing off her shoulders she’d spent the last month on in the ships gym. Tyler wore a sharp black suit with a deep blue undershirt, and Dean was in a silver suit with a black shirt, it contrasted magnetically with his blonde hair and dark eyes. I had gone with the black and red miniskirt dress, I wore tall black pumps with it that showed off the muscles in my legs attractively, the entire walk to the bistro I’d been slapping Dean’s hands away like flies, and had even caught Tyler staring at my bottom a couple of times. Jessica was a saint and said nothing to him; it even seemed to me as if she really did not mind, she just smiled brightly at him and giggled and spoke enthusiastically about everything around us.
    We sat at four barstools a round an oblong shaped glass table; it was small and smoky colored, it reminded me of Smokey Quartz crystal. The bistro was sleek and elegant, immediately a young woman brought us four Tequila Sunrises and smiled brightly at us.
    “Can I take your order while you wait for a dining table?” She asked politely.
    “I think we need a little more time.” Jessica said. I nodded and the waitress was off in a second, her smile never fading.
    I took a sip of my drink and had to exhale sharply, it was very stiff, Jessica had a similar reaction and stuck her tongue out. Tyler and Dean laughed at us. When the waitress returned we ordered a second round of drinks with a bowl of fries and two club sandwiches, and four salads. As we ate and chatted about the city more rounds of drinks came.
    “I can’t believe I’m here with you.” Jessica said close to Tyler’s face, he held her hand to his chest as he leaned over to her and kissed her softly on the lips. I smiled at them, tears threatening behind my lids. Dean’s fingers slid up and down my back, his eyes were burning into my face, but I couldn’t meet his gaze; I took a long sip of my drink, waiting for the emotions to settle down before I turned and beamed at him. He lifted the corner of his mouth in a half smile, but his eyes assessed me knowingly, as if he could tell how completely fake I was being, but patronized me anyway.
    “Sonny!” We heard bellowed drunkenly from across the outdoor sitting area. The nick name was a bit slurred as it rolled from the man’s tongue.
    I looked around searching faces before I finally saw Chief Hudson, dressed in a red and black button down shirt and jeans, sitting with some of the guys from the shop and DC1 Lewis. They were surrounded by beer bottles and empty food plates and were gesturing for us to join them. We left cash at our table and made our way over to them, I wobbled for a second before I remembered I was in heels and righted myself. I pulled my short skirt down as much as I could, but it was no use, and I stood before Chief, his dark features turned from DC1 to me. He eyed my knees, and lingered on my thighs before he dragged his blue eyes up to mine and I finally realized what had entranced me so about him. He was the spitting image of what Aden might have become had he lived to see his forties. I swallowed as I watched Chief bring his beer to his sensual lips, his
