Journey Begins

(William’s P.O.V) Caribbean Ocean, 1835             We have been sailing these waters for a fortnight and have yet to make landfall, we are beginning to lose hope of finding the treasure of Greybeard to break this curse placed upon the families of those who sailed with him. Our family lines have all been cursed with time, we age slowly to the point of immortality. Though Greybeard and his son, my father, have both perished, I need to uncover where the treasure is to reverse the curse that he placed upon us. My first mate, John Drummond, came up to me at the helm with updates on the crews functioning and the distribution of supplies. “Captain, we are running low on food and the crew is becoming restless with the amount of time at sea with no land in sight, and we need to make landfall soon because we need to repair the rigging from the last storm we sailed through.” “I understand

Vacation Plans

(Nerina’s P.O.V) Present Day “Can’t believe that we only have three days until our girl’s trip! Are y’all as excited as I am?” I screech out while on a Zoom “happy hour” with a few of my friends. “I know! I’m so fucking excited! I cannot wait! Sun, drinks, and dicks!” Nikita sings out. “Jesus Nikita, can you be any foul mouthed?” Cordelia laughs. “She probably could, to be honest, considering she has to be all prim and proper for her gubernatorial duties.” I say, with a snort.             Kita, as we sometimes call her, is not only the first female Governor of California, but also the youngest AND the first person of color to hold the office. She’s the group's Persian Princess, her long, thick black hair always perfectly styled, her deep brown eyes always highlighted with the perfect makeup, and her tawny-beige skin always has a subtle glow to it. “Now shush your f

Bermuda

(Nerina’s P.O.V) Three days later             As I’m walking to my connecting flight through the Miami International Airport, I hear a woman screeching behind me. “Nerina!!!!!!!!!”             I turn around and am almost bowled over by a woman with shoulder length auburn hair, crushing me in a hug. “Oh, I’ve missed you so much!” I hear the woman screech.             Ah, this would be Elizabeth Bardot, or Lizzie, our Canadian doctor. Lizzie pulls back from me, squishing my cheeks with her hands, making my lips pucker out like a fish. I try to talk but my words are muffled thanks to her squishing my face. She finally removes her hands from my face to allow me to talk. “Lizzie! I didn’t know that you were going to be meeting us here! I thought we’d be seeing y

White Villa

(Nerina’s P.O.V)             Walking through the front door in a single file line, we entered the foyer with beautiful gray marble floors that were sparkling underneath the huge silver chandelier that hung over a beautiful oak circular table. A beautiful bouquet of tropical flowers was in a vase, sitting atop the table. “Wow, this is beautiful.” Corie whispers out. “Why are you whispering?” Lizzie whispers back to her. “I just feel like I need to whisper in here, it looks like a museum!” Corie whispers, yet again.             No one can hold in their laughter, and it echoes throughout the foyer. “Well, there goes the air of it being a museum.” Nikita laughs.             We exit the foyer and make our way into the open planned living room/kitchen/dining room.

Climbing a Tree?

(John’s P.O.V)             After dropping the group of women off at the White Villa—literally that’s what it’s called among the natives—I made my way back to the garage to call William. One of the women, Nerina, looks a lot like the woman he fucked on what was supposed to be our only night here in Bermuda prior to our jaunt through time. Lord only knows how we went from being in the year 1835 to the year 1999 but it happened. Yeah, somehow our ship traveled through time when we tried to sail through the “Bermuda Triangle” and ended up in the same spot at the harbor in Hamilton. We have been here ever since, unable to get past the triangle for some unknown reason. The crew has adapted very well, and we have been successful in blending in, changing our names every few decades or so and moving around the island. I’ve gone back to using my birth name of John Drummond and so has William, going back to using his last name of T

Family Reunion...Kind Of?

(Nerina’s P.O.V)             After speaking with John and having been embarrassed to the nth degree by my friends, we decided to have dinner outside by the pool instead of indoors. The weather was beautiful as the sun was setting over the horizon and we could see the clear blue waters of the Caribbean. Anne made us a huge million course gourmet dinner: bacon wrapped sea scallops for an appetizer while we drank, matchstick parmesan and truffle fries, with wood fired beef tenderloin. It was *insert chef’s kiss emoji thing here*. It really does pay to be friends with a world-renowned chef, particularly when they have a huge ass kitchen at their disposal. After we had finished our meal, we just hung around the deck, watching the waves roll in, discussing our plans for the two weeks we were here. “So tomorrow we have the lunch reservations at Harry’s, John will be picking us up at 12:30 since he says it’ll take about

Excuse me.?

(William’s P.O.V)             After speaking with John yesterday about the woman he had driven looking like my Charlotte, I couldn’t stop thinking about her. Every day from the time we had left to ending up jumping through time, I thought of her and our child she was carrying. Charlotte wasn’t a one-time fling like I had intended, I grew to love her and her gentle nature. She would have been a wonderful mother. That night, when I got back to the house that my men and I owned, I laid awake in my bed replaying the course of my life. At over 200 years old I have yet to find someone like my Charlotte and I don’t think I ever will, considering we can’t leave this damn island. There is some force that is keeping us here and we can’t figure out a way around it, let alone WHAT it is. The morning dawns bright and sunny like always, and I feel the nerves setting in for this afternoon. I took John’s advice and set a reservation for

What Just Happened?

(Nerina’s P.O.V)“What in the fuck was that?” Ashe voices out in confusion, mirroring my own.“Ol’ boy was saying he was over 200 years old saying he knew Charlotte, that’s not even possible!” Kita states.“I know! Why would he say such things though? He knew her last name, who would know her last name other than family or someone who knew her?” I question.“I understand that Ne, but you cannot seriously believe that William dude is over 200 years old. There’s just no way!” Lizzie rebuts.            John opens the door, and it’s only then that I realize that we are back at the villa already. I had been so lost in my thoughts and conversation with the girls that I wasn’t even paying attention. We all get out, however; John grasps my arm and asks me to stay back for a minute. I nod to the girls to head back into

Well...Shit.

(John’s P.O.V)             I tried to get William to NOT go to Nerina’s villa this morning because I had a feeling that the declarations made by the two of us yesterday would have resulted in her and her friends becoming blind drunk. And that is exactly what happened. When she opened the door for us this morning, I could smell the alcohol, but what I couldn’t get over was seeing her almost bare in front of me. She had on little, tiny shorts that were basically underwear that hid nothing, and her top was cropped so you could see her toned stomach and her nipples were puckered and could be seen through her shirt because, of course, she wasn’t wearing a bra. It was maddening how badly I wanted to take her right against the wall in the foyer. She allowed us entry and went upstairs to change and retrieve her gun, lord knows she really didn’t need it, we weren’t there to hurt her or her friends. Once everyone was seated on the

Answers..Sort Of.

(William’s P.O.V)             Nerina’s mother had said Charlotte had given birth to twins! Two babies! I wonder what they were: two boys, two girls, one of each? Were they identical or were they fraternal? I needed to know more! “Lottie and William went missing? I thought they died, like for sure died, not just went missing and presumed dead. I know Charlotte was murdered on her way home to the twins when they were sixteen.” Nerina said.             Died? She was killed!? I had to do everything in my power to keep myself upright and to keep myself from sobbing out like a babe for their mother. My beloved Charlotte. Wait. Did Nerina say William? Charlotte named my son after me? I couldn’t help that, while I was mourning Charlotte, I couldn’t suppress the pride of having a son named after me. “That’s the speculation. After they both turned about
