CUCKED IN THE TROPICS Ch. 09
***
When they'd returned to the honeymoon suite after their night at the festival, Callie nearly collapsed face-down in the bed and was snoring softly before Jake could even say good night. He guessed he couldn't blame her. She'd been insistent that she didn't feel good at the festival, and she certainly looked disheveled enough to show that she'd had a rough night. Hopefully she'd feel better in the morning.
Jake wished he could fall asleep as quickly. But he lay awake, staring at the accent lights of the pool outside of their balcony windows. It created a moving shadow effect on the ceiling. Jake's thoughts kept returning to what had happened in that dark alley.
How he'd caught Andre in the middle of a drug deal, and how Andre had nearly killed a man, broken his bones, and made him scream. Andre was definitely involved in shady business. Of that, Jake had no doubts. But Andre had seen Jake. Now they both knew. And Jake was horrified. He knew too much, and Andre had much more influence down here than he'd given the man credit for. When they'd first arrived, Jake had underestimated Andre as a mere chauffer and tour guide. But between the fight, Andre's copious amounts of money that he was able to lavish Callie with expensive dresses and jewelry, and Andre's enormous boat, it was obvious the man had more pull around here than Jake had thought.
He was already on Andre's radar after the scuba diving incident. Neither of them liked each other, that much was clear. But for some weird reason, as of lately, Callie had developed a trust and a liking for Andre. That also bothered Jake. What was this scumbag buttering up his wife for?
Jake resolved that he needed to talk to Callie about this. But he needed to do it in the morning, when she wasn't feeling ill.
He sighed, and continued to stare at the ceiling. The feeling of dread wouldn't subside. It was a long night, with very little comfort. At least Callie was able to sleep like a rock.

They were eating breakfast in one of the more low-key restaurants of the resort when Jake said it.
"I think we should head home early." His eyes were restless, darting around the mostly empty dining room, afraid of who they might run into, or who might overhear.
Callie looked up from her plate sharply. The shock immediately washed away the relaxed serene expression she'd been wearing only moments ago.
"Oh my gosh, why?" she asked.
Jake wasn't sure he wanted to be completely truthful. Last night had been a hellish blur of tossing and turning, of contending with the butterflies in his belly, and the knot in his gut. He was afraid of how she might react, especially after she seemed to be finding a louder voice with him lately.
"You have to admit, this trip hasn't exactly been good to either of us. Between the sunburn, and the fight after the boat, and you weren't feeling good all last night--"
"I told you this morning, I feel 100% better," she insisted. She was staring at him sharply, her eyes slightly narrowed. She seemed... guarded.
"Well regardless... this was fun. But maybe we should cut our losses and head home a little sooner than expected," Jake said. "We could get back, and still have enough time for a 'stay-cation' back at the house."
"Well I like it here, and I want to stay," Callie said firmly. "What's going on with you, lately?"
Jake hesitated. He didn't want to tell her about his suspicions with Andre. About what he saw. He didn't want to frighten her. Callie was already a sheltered, jumpy girl. But now, she was far from home and out of her element. He was afraid that she might panic. But was that the real reason? Jake decided that it was one of the reasons. The other was much scarier to process-- that Callie wouldn't take his side on this. That she'd doubt and rebuke his warning. That she would side with Andre over him, and she'd feel compelled to defend Andre (a man she barely knew) over the warnings of her husband (with whom she'd been close with for most of her life). Did he really want to risk that rejection?
Jake sighed. "You're just going to have to trust me. I have a bad feeling about this place... and I think it would be best if we left."
Callie stared at him, her expression frozen. Her eyebrow cocked, her eyes glaring, and her mouth held in a tight line. Jake didn't know this expression well, but he knew that it wasn't good.
After an eternity she said, "No." Then she resumed her breakfast.
Jake glanced around, then repeated it. "No?"
"No," she lighter, but with more resolve. "Jake, this is our honeymoon. This trip was expensive, and it's non-refundable. This is one of the few times we're ever going to do this-- travel someplace this far away and exotic. I'm sorry if you're having a bad time, but I'm not. And I'd like to stay."
"It's not that," Jake said, slightly defeated.
"It is just that. You had a few disappointing days, and now you want to go running back home to hide. That's fine if you were single and here alone, but you're married now. So put on your big boy pants and realize that you aren't just doing things for yourself. I'm not done with my vacation. So until I am, you'll just have to deal with it. Then we'll leave together."
Although Callie's voice was soft and calm, there was an icy cold practicality to them. It reminded Jake of their fight yesterday, where Callie had suggested that she actually cheat on Jake, if Jake thought she was such an untrustworthy slut.
He was intimidated by Andre, but he was also intimidated by Callie in this moment.
Jake folded. "Okay, sorry I brought it up. It was just a suggestion."
"It's fine," Callie said, dismissively. As far as she was concerned, the matter had already been settled before she even finished her peace. And Jake was positive she wouldn't budge.
"So what do you want to do today?" Jake asked, feeling intimidated by his own wife for the first time.
