Carl： Caveman Instinct series 2.5(28)

She had the call on speaker. I knew she’d done that for me.

“Oh my God, Bellie! Two weeks in Vanuatu. Take me too, I wouldn’t mind getting in the middle of you and that delicious doctor. I bet I could convert him especially if he paid for me to go to Vanuatu.”

Annabelle laughed, and it was my favorite sound in the whole world. It was hard to believe that I’d fallen in love so quickly. Annabelle was easy to love though, she had a huge heart, she was giving, loving, easy to get along with and everyone who met her liked her and she just enjoyed life. I’d never met anyone like her. I didn’t know women like her existed. I was so lucky.

“When are you all leaving?” Brent asked.

“We’re on our way now.”

“He doesn’t waste any time does he?”

When she looked up at me and gave me a beaming smile I swore the sun came out. My stomach flipped and my heart beat faster. I loved this woman and I was going to get her to tell me she loved me back.

“No, he doesn’t. He sent me a hundred rainbow roses and picked me up in a limo from school. Rainbow roses!” she shouted.

Leaning over, I kissed her interrupting her telling Brent about her dream to stay in a bungalow on the water and go on a tour about the cannibals. I was going to give her everything she wanted. In the short time I’d been with Annabelle she’d made grumpy old me happy, content.

“I love you.” I mumbled against her lips. She kissed me and I knew that was her telling me she loved me too without saying it. I was going to get her to say it though, before we came home from our holiday.







Annabelle

Vanuatu was amazing. Our bungalow was on the water and I will admit I was reluctant to leave it. We’d been there for three nights and it’d been a sex marathon. When we weren’t sleeping or on each other, we’d been swimming in the beautiful clear blue ocean.

“Let’s do something today.”

Carl circled my waist and brought me back down to the bed. “We’ve have been doing things every day.”

Rolling my eyes, I gazed up into his dark brown eyes. “We’ve been having non-stop monkey sex.”

He wiggled his eyebrows up and down. “Important stuff.”

Shoving off him, I stood and placed my hands on my hips. “Come on. I wanna go do other things today.”

He sat up and rolled off the bed. “Fine. Let’s go do other stuff today.” His arms circled my waist and he grabbed his phone and called Rafe to tell him we were leaving the bungalow.

We took the boat to the mainland. The resort was spectacular, on its own little island off the mainland, a five minute boat ride. The markets were a short walk from the boat ramp.

Carl threaded his fingers through mine and we walked down toward the markets. Vanuatu was so laid back. Locals crammed into the back of Utes to get around. Everywhere I looked people were smiling and enjoying the simple life.

Rafe walked a little ahead of us and Lurch just behind. I took everything in. Soaking it all in around me. The little shops and grocery store that looked like a little corner store, and the record shop that didn’t sell cd’s or tapes, just records. The markets were simple. In the food part, the sellers had a mat on the floor and their wares on it. I watched as people bartered. The other half of the markets, the sellers had tables. There were baskets, bags, and purses. Another stall had jewelry, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets and another stall had all different types of notebooks and blank books. Everything was handmade.

“Carl, you don’t have to buy me everything I like.”

He brought my hand up and kissed it. “I will get you anything you want.”

I moved us out of the way and stopped, stood on tip toes and kissed Carl. I loved this man. I knew he would do and give me anything I wanted. “Thank you. You don’t have to buy me all these things, I’m just grateful you’ve bought me to this wonderful place.” Wrapping my arms around him I breathed in his masculine scent. I was ready. Carl needed to know how much I appreciated all he did for me. “I love you.”

His body become rigid and he pulled me back and tilted my chin up. “Say it again. Tell me honey.”

I shrugged and held back my giggle, maneuvering out of his hold as I made my way back to the boat ramp. Carl chased after me and spun me around. I grinned up at him. “I love you. The last month has been amazing. I can’t believe I fell for you so quickly, but I have. I love you.”

My squeal turned into a laugh when Carl picked me up and threw me over his shoulder and ran towards the boat ramp.







Carl

I shouldn’t be smiling laid back in bed and happy at the noises I was hearing. Since we arrived in Vanuatu Annabelle had mentioned that her stomach and body felt off, she thought it was the time difference and jet lag. After we’d been here for a week, she put it down to all the sex we were having and being in the sun and activities. I didn’t know if I should tell her the real reason why she was sick or let her figure it out on her own.
