Chapter 6 – If I ain't curious then why call me a cat?

“Hi, love, is something wrong,” he follows my eyes to his crotch, yep, I was caught staring. Our eyes meet and he smirks at me, but I cannot look away from his eyes. If I do, he will think I am embarrassed by looking at his thing so I just pridefully look at this man’s burning eyes.

“Ahem” I try to compose myself, “well sorry for bothering your session Mr. Duncan but you are a bit too loud, can you keep it down a little.”

“But I am not the one moaning, can I call her, and tell her she is too loud,” he asks making me more furious than I could ever be.

“You are the one putting your thing in her so you should be the one to monitor her loud moaning voice.” I shout angrily, making use vague words while referring to their activities.

He puts his finger on his chin as if he were thinking of some profound solution that would help the both of us.

“Well, Fiona love, can I call you Fiona, or you are hating me because Carl broke up with you makes you hate me enough to not let me call you your name?”

“He broke up with me because he wants to be so free and cool as you, can you believe that? I have every right to hate you.” I vent out he raises his eyebrow as if I just said something ridiculous.

“I didn’t know he was even in a relationship until that night you made him fall, how is it my fault, you dated a jerk, and he treated you like trash,” he shrugs innocently.

“Fine sorry for hating you for Carl being a jerk, can you please tell her to keep it down now?” I admit defeat, though I still don’t like him that much and still believe he influenced Carl a lot, but I needed a goodnight’s sleep.

“Hmmmm… you can join us is you want” he smirks, “I saw you checking me out you know.”

“What? No, you just hung it there where everyone can see, do not blame me for looking.” I pout and look away.

“Um…. Sorry Heath can you come back to bed,” the girl calls out with a high-pitched voice.

“He will come back once you promise to keep you darn voice down” I shout back at her, Heath burst into laughter immediately, “do not laugh at this, it is a serious matter, I need my beauty sleep.”

The girl finally come to the door to us, she angrily glares at me before saying, “listen lady, you need to go and sleep, just because you wear grandma panties and men don’t like you doesn’t mean I need to stop enjoying my youth.” Yes, this girl came here just to tempt angry old me into punching.

“Wow ease on the personal attack love, Fiona here just wants to have a good night sleep, I am sure we can accommodate that.” He smiled and said, “besides her panties are not even ugly, I would know this because I’ve seen them.” He says proudly, earning a slap in the face from her.

“You know what you’re a jerk, you were supposed to defend me, and why talk about her panties?" Heath shrugs innocently, making her angrier.

"Bye, I am leaving and don’t even think of following me.” She said and stomped off angrily wearing nothing but a bra and panties and a white shirt, I had to bite my lips holding laughter.

I was finally able to laugh out loud once she was out of my sight, “oh… wow very funny,” he exclaims, I roll my eyes at him, it was funny to see how she was looking back to see if he was following.

“Are you going to follow her?”

“Why should I?”

“You are so dumb for a playboy, she said ‘don’t even think of following me’ so you can follow her. You should have known that much, and if you follow her, she can take care of that.” I say pointing at his crotch.

“Hmmmmm…” he looks at her stomping away then at me, “well you are the one that made her leave, so why don’t you help me huh?”

“Oh, hell no, there is no way I am doing that.” I say before rushing back to my room leaving him cussing.

I had the best sleep ever, no loud sounds and knowing Heath is having the worst time ever, yeah, what a peaceful night.

Even my morning was peaceful, due to a force of habit I woke up early, went to the gym to get my workout ready.

Since Lucas and Selby were nursing their hangover, Gian and Clover were nursing each other, I did not want to be near either Carl or Heath, I asked sweet Esther to accompany me which she agreed.

Esther was not bad company at all, well she did have the Selby tendency for looking at any handsome man passing by and complementing them, but that is not something I have never had before.

“Oh… I am tired, let us take a break.” And she was lazy, unlike Clover or Selby who were all familiar to my workout routine, Esther was a bit lazy, but we are making new friends, so we need not complain.

“You may take a break Esther, I will continue.”

“Suit yourself,” she says picking her water bottle, “hmmmm…. Yummy.” I heard Esther say, for the umpteenth time this morning.

“Esther?”

“Oh, Heath Duncan just walked in, that man is fine, ugh look at those muscles.”

“Oh.” I reply refusing to even look his way, not my circus not my monkey, I tell myself.

“Good morning, ladies,” I hear him greet us, Carl’s annoying voice follows his with another repeat of what Heath said.

“Oh… Hi Mr. Duncan.” Esther said with a flirty voice.

“Hi, Esther, how was your night?” what a polite piece of crap he is.

“It was nice thank you sir, how about yours?”

“Wouldn’t you like to know?” some cliché thing to say, ugh this man is so one dimensional.

“Don’t you think the treadmill had enough sweetheart?” he says, I hear Carl sneering at his statement, I ignore him with the hope to leave alone, “Fiona,” he calls me directly.

I sighed, before switching the machine off, “oh... Mr. Duncan, I didn’t see you there.” I said sarcastically.

“Are you trying to be sarcastic, Mr. Duncan’s presence is clearly easy to sense,” the minion, Carl says.

“No need to be condescending Carl, I am sure Fiona didn’t see me for real, anyway I think that girl over there is calling you.” He said Carl had looked where he was pointing before going there without a question.

“Oh… he is a real minion,” I say as I watch him walk away.

“Well, I myself would do anything Mr. Duncan tells me too.” Esther says, making us as women lose a major point for that, come on you can’t be that gullible love you are a whole nurse.

“Is that so?” he asks, Esther nods before he even finish his sentence, “can Esther go wake Lucas for me, there is something I need from him.”

“Of course, Mr. Duncan.”

I roll my eyes at him as he looks so smug for ordering two people around, like they are fools of course they will follow your every order, unless they want to steal all your money and want to earn your trust now that would be a good twist, I would be even proud of Carl if he did so.

“What?” I ask as his hungry eyes begin to study me.

“You never asked how I solve last night’s situation.”

“Oh… how did you solve last night’s situation then; did you follow her?” I was not interested in how he did it but that didn't stop me from asking.

As I wait for his answer, I foolishly start sipping on my water bottle, I say foolishly because his answer makes me choke on said water.

“I imagined your mouth around my…….” He didn’t even finish, and I was already having a hysterical cough from choking, like he didn’t even have to finish his sentence. I looked at him and he just started laughing.

“You have a dirty mind,” he continues to laugh, like he didn’t just make a dirty joke.

“You are infuriating.” I say picking my things up.

“Oh... come on love, can’t a man have fantasies? Don’t you have fantasies?”

“No, stay away from me for the duration of this trip.” I say before leaving, I hear his grumble, but I do not make out what he said.

Well did he stay away from me all day, yes, he did, well maybe it is because Clover was having crazy pregnancy sickness all day and Selby, Esther and I had to be by her side all day.

After a long day of taking care of Clover I retired to my room, I needed to take a tour around the ship but decided against it.

“Knock-Knock-knock.” I hear a knock on my door the minute my head hits the pillow, ugh, who would this be?

“Good evening.”

“Heath, what brings you here?”

“I wanted to show you something fun, want to see?” Curiosity killed a cat, and darling I am a cat 50% of my life, let us die we have nine lives.

“Sure, why not.” I will tell you why not, past Fiona, it is a terrible idea, do not go there, but of course past me doesn't listen instead I follow him until he halts on his room’s door.

“Mr. Duncan?” I call out half curious on where this might be going and half disgusted.

“Don’t worry, it is not what you are thinking,” he says showing I should get inside, and I did, I just want to see what he wants to show me, I can always walk away. Let me live my nine lives happily future Fiona I will learn from the consequences soon, I tell my subconscious worries.
