With all the fires around, it gets hot,” he says as he gets up off the bed, walks over, and gently nudges me out of the way. “Here, put this on,” he says, handing me a red strapless maxi dress and some thongs.“Is Keoni really a fire dancer?” I ask him as I slip the dress on.“Yeah, he really is! He’s amazing. His family has been fire dancers for five generations.”“Wow… That’s really cool. I can’t wait to see him in action then,” I say as I pull my hair back into a loose ponytail.“You have to let me do your hair and makeup one night,” Uku says, fluffing up my ponytail.“I don’t usually wear much makeup, just mascara and lip-gloss,” I tell him as we grab our things and leave my house.“There’s a sexy goddess in there, and I’m going to find her,” he says as he opens the car door for me.“Ha! Good luck!” I
Jordan P.O.V‘What the fuck just happened?’ I think to myself as I watch Elisha walk out of the bar with Uku instead of me. Everything was fine until I got up to piss.I look at Ailani and Keoni, and Ailani just shrugs her shoulders. “I guess we should probably head off too. It was nice getting to know you better, Jordan,” she says with a smile, and they get up and leave.I sit there dumbfounded, trying to figure out what could have happened between the time I left the table and when I got back. When I look over to see Eva cleaning the tables, I realise there are only a couple of people left in the pub.Eva saunters over to me and stands behind me, massaging my shoulders. “I’m off in thirty minutes. Your place or mine?” She whispers seductively in my ear. I rub my hands over my face in frustration before I answer. “Yours. You know the rules,” I say as I stand up and walk over to the bar.#Elisha P.O.VI toss and turn, trying to get Jordan out of my head. But that kiss... His hand on
Jordon P.O.VI glance at the clock on the wall; it’s 9 p.m. “Fuck it,” I mumble out loud. I’m done for the day. I can’t look at these codes any longer. Switching my computer screen off, I stand up and stretch before going over to my bar and pouring myself a scotch. I step out onto my deck and breathe in the night air, and an instant sense of calm washes over me. I can see the lights from the central part of the island, and there’s rhythmic music carrying on the breeze. They must have a few at the pub tonight.I never thought that I would live in a place like this. I moved from Brightview because I was sick of city life. The constant stress of the daily grind was becoming too much for me, and after sleeping through half the city, I was bored with seeing the same faces that frequented my bed. Being a software engineer, I can work anywhere in the world, so I quit my job and started my own business in Lai’eloa to be closer to my cousin, Mitch. Now I can just work from home with the client
Elisha P.O.VMy mouth is agape as I stare out the taxi window at the passing scenery of Lai’eloa; the tropical plants and dense rainforest are simply… breathtaking. I’ve been hearing about the island’s rich history and deep-rooted culture since the driver picked me up from the small airport, and I still can’t believe I’m here.We finally arrive outside my new home, a raised one-story beach shack right on the water’s edge, after what seemed like an eternity because of my excitement. Quickly paying the driver, I open the taxi door with a big smile and take a deep breath; the smell of the ocean filling my senses as I step out into the warm tropical breeze of spring. I take my bags from the taxi’s boot, then walk along the stone path and up the few steps to the small front porch.With giddy excitement, I unlock the front door and walk inside, leaving my bags at the door to look around. The photos did not do this place justice. Despite its small size, it is fully furnished with everything
