The sun comes up heralding another day. We both stir. Bleary eyed over the first few days of the vacation. I lie there thinking have we really done all that in just a couple of days. Made love, so many ways, so many places. You slip out of bed heading for the bathroom. I watch you and say to myself "You'd betta believe it." I lie back and smile. What wonders has the day in store for us?
First we have to get out of here; it's maid's day. So we shower, separately, saves time, then dress for the day. A light breakfast and out. Much more of the Island to see.
Pushed up hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Island is volcanic. This can be seen all over by the massive vents, now dormant. No actual volcano but if it did erupt half the island would probably disappear. A rugged place to exist. But people still do. Mainly vineyards, the volcanic soil is a perfect medium for growing vines. All over the Island, the plants are huddled down behind volcanic stone walls protecting them from the ever-present wind. But the main breadwinner for the Island is us, tourists. All wanting a piece of the sun.
We spend all day out, seeing various towns and villages. Camera snapping, thank god for digital. Returning to the villa via the local supermarcado. Picking up something for supper. Steak for the bar-b-q and lashings of salad. Potatoes for boiling and another couple of bottles of the local wine.
I start putting things away as you pad into the bedroom. Then its back to the roof and our favourite sun bed, big enough for two. Another good thing, apart from the views, about the roof terrace is the retractable awning. Just a turn a handle and out it comes. Supported on wires attached to four concrete pillars. As much shade, as you want. We wind it all the way over. Totally covering the bed. I leave you to lie there in the cool as I go and do my manly thing and prepare the bbq and the steaks for later.
About 20 minutes later, all is prepared. I make us a couple of long cool drinks, lots of ice and head back to the terrace. Slowly walking up the steps so as not to spill any. I just get my eye level to the same level as the bed and I see your feet, about 12 inches apart, knees bent outwards and your toes curling, I smile to myself. I quietly move further up. Putting the drinks down, I sit on the top step and watch.
