CHAPTER 4
Rob jerked the wheel sharply to pass a slow moving produce truck on the two-lane road that led home from the dive shop. Unfortunately, the afternoon dive consisted of three pairs of newlyweds who earned their dive certifications right before flying to the islands. This meant a lot of hand holding, assurances that great white sharks were not native to French Polynesia, and triple-checking everyone's gear to make sure that tanks were turned on, regulators were working correctly, and a myriad of other minor inconveniences, all of which caused the boat to be a half hour late returning to the dock. Ordinarily, Rob was laid-back and these kinds of things didn't bother him, but he was stressed about making it home in time to get cleaned up before seeing Jennifer again.
He pulled his three-decade old Isuzu pickup into the driveway and slammed it into park, grabbing his backpack and hopping out without bothering to roll up the windows or lock the doors. The open windows were a matter of security and convenience - security in the sense that thieves wouldn't bother breaking the glass and would likely assume there was nothing inside worth stealing, convenience because the air conditioning hadn't worked since he bought it so fresh air kept the cab from turning into a sweat box.
Rob was fishing his house key from his pocket when he noticed that the front door was slightly ajar. Cautiously, he eased the door open slowly and peered inside, wary of interrupting home invaders already at work. Instead, he found the television tuned to daytime soaps and a half-naked woman lounging on his couch. Clad only in a pair of white cotton panties and a cut-off 80's hair band t-shirt, she stared intently with startling blue eyes at the flickering screen, oblivious of his presence, her curly brown hair resting gently on a sofa cushion. Rob pulled the door closed behind him and the sound startled her.
"Bianca, what exactly are you doing here in the middle of the day?" he asked, tossing his backpack into a corner.
"Well hello to you too," she sassed back. "The air is out at my apartment so I came over to watch my shows here. Is my brother with you?"
"No, he had to stay behind and do some work on the boat," Rob explained. "Which reminds me - I need you to drive him home after your show tonight."
Bianca took a deep breath and sighed, causing her breasts to momentarily strain against the worn t-shirt fabric. Rob was pretty sure that she hadn't bothered putting on a bra today.
"Are you serious? What if I had plans tonight?" she asked. "Did you think of that?"
"Do you have plans tonight?" Rob asked.
"Not yet."
"Well, I do, so I need you to pick him up."
Bianca perked up and shifted to a sitting position on the couch, leaning over the back to give Rob her full attention.
"Hold up - do you have a... date?" she asked in a teasing voice as Rob brushed past her and headed to the kitchen.
"I'm not sure I want to share my dating life with my ex-girlfriend," Rob replied, pulling a loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter from the refrigerator. "Boundaries?"
"Oh c'mon," Bianca answered with an eyeroll. "I'm not your ex; I'm your 'voluptuous non-judgmental friend with benefits'."
"Look, it's weird," he said flatly, smearing peanut butter on bread and taking a bite. With his mouth half full, he added "But if you must know - yes, I'm meeting someone for drinks."
"Local?"
"No."
Bianca laughed and hopped up off the couch.
"Tourist?" she questioned, sauntering into the kitchen to stand behind Rob. "At least it's not serious, right?" Bianca's arms circled around him, her hands groping his abs and pulling him back against her, pressing her full breasts up against his back until Rob could feel her hardened nipples through her t-shirt. Based on their height differential (Rob being exceptionally tall and Bianca average height), he could feel her cheek bone between his shoulder blades when she rested her head on his back. Her touch sent shivers up Rob's spine and stirred sensations below his waist.
"C'mon B, what're you doing?" he asked in between chews, looking down at her hands as they ran up and down his chest.
