The brothers from the frat convinced (and connived) me to take this all-inclusive vacation to Cancun back in 2017. My boy Q was the main culprit, for he spilled the beans with the rest of the guys about my pending divorce then, and worked to somehow get my supervisor to grant me a week off, as I never was one to take off from work.
"Bernie you need to put that toolbag away, and come to play," said my superintendent, as Q managed somehow to talk to another "brother" that was working at the company.
I was a country boy, one who didn't believe in leaving the state, let alone the continent if it involved deciphering another language, or eating other types of food. North Carolina was all I knew and was proud of, with Nash County being my stomping grounds, so when Q pulled off the trip, I was livid to say the least.
"Time you jump into the 21st century and live life," he told me.
The following week, he and I were at Douglas International as we had a flight to Mexico City, with a connector to Cancun where the other brothers would link. I was nervous the entire flight south of the border, and still had jitters when we touched down in Cancun, where the 30 or so frats greeted and cheered me on for taking my first flight. I was happy to be with the brothers again as we all came from different parts of the country, our union based out of the chapter in my county from my time attending community college. The upside of the trip was when we united, for he barked a few chants, and even got some stepping involved to kick off our time. An unsuspected rain would damper our events the first three days, to where some of the guys kicked rocks and headed back stateside. A handful, to include Q and I, remained as we paid too much to cancel the trip, and so we drank top shelf Mexican tequila, and relaxed the remaining three days we were to be in the area.
"You know, we ain't get one stitch of pussy since we've been here," Q said to me that fourth night.
We were in the room faded, and I was laying across my bed reading a Playboy while he was toggling porn through his phone.
"It wasn't supposed to be like this," he said.
"But it is," I told him as I pondered Tasha, my pending ex-wife.
He offered to pay for a night at a local strip club, but I didn't speak Spanish, and didn't want to drink in some unknown location. Q became frustrated and let me be for the night, and I would drink more, just slowly slipping the tasty barrel juice while reading the Playboy, my dick harder than road stanchions.
"All this fine, good smelling Mexican ass in here, and you wanna read a magazine," Q texted me an hour later.
He showed photos of all the beautiful "onions" that strolled the club, and sent videos of those who were gyrating and maneuvering the pole, with me sipping more, and my dick hardening the same. I ended up cutting off my phone out of more frustration, and would unzip my pants, then lay on the bed to stroke myself until I realized I hated jerking off. I got myself together by fixing my clothes, and deciding to go downstairs, and out to the lobby for some fresh air. The rain finally let up, but there was a cool breeze coming from the gulf with a natural scent, one that seemed to energize me. I ended up sitting on the nearby patio as I saw one or two people in the surf, just enjoying the scene. I'd see the bellhop, some Mexican guy who wasn't no more than 21, come near me to burn down a cigarette. He looked my way as he lit the stick, then took a drag and smiled, before looking straight at the water.
"You ever get tired of this," I asked him.
"I've been to worse parts of Mexico," he said in his thick accent. "This is top of the line."
Right then we started conversation as he spoke English pretty well, and even spoke on some of his favorite spots in the states.
"Los Angeles, Charlotte, New York," he said as he rattled off cities.
I advised him of my home area and he started grinning.
"I like North Carolina a lot," he said as we somewhat hit it off.
Pedro introduced himself after taking another drag, extending his hand to meet mine, and I would feel his soft skin.
"You enjoy Mexico," he asked.
"Very much," I said after explaining how I turned down the trip.
I went in to talk about how I kicked and screamed not to come, and how Q was able to come anyway.
"Made a good choice," he said. "You come with no lady?"
"No lady," I said as I was checking him out.
