are you okay?”
“Yes, I’m better now. This night is just so warm, and the wine got to me. Of course, it didn’t help with me drinking it so fast.”
“Okay, well this dinner is very delicious, and what is even better is that I have dessert already prepared for us.” He smirked.
Just then Sumshi came up with two glasses filled with chocolate mousse. A sliver of white chocolate and a dollop of whipped cream topping it off. Accompanying the moose were two small cups of espresso, all prepared for the two of them. In the center of the plate was a small silver plate with a red rose over it and a small jewelry box with a satin ribbon around it.
Maria just smiled, as she pulled out of her pocket a small jewelry box with a black satin ribbon on it, and she smirked back, as she set it on the silver plate next to his.
“Maria, what is this?” He was taken by surprise.
“What is this, Sam? Seems like we both have something on our mind, hah.”
They both just smiled, and each took their boxes and opened them. Sam had gotten Maria a beautiful 1.31 Caret Antique Diamond. It was beautiful, with engraving along the sides. Very elegant.
Maria had gotten Sam a men’s, white gold band with a solitary, square cut diamond set in the band. Sam loved it.
“Sam, this is so beautiful. This is way too much.”
Maria started to cry and got up and sat on Sam’s lap as he put his ring on. Tears welled up in his eyes.
“Oh, Maria, look who’s talking, doll, this is gorgeous. What a classy ring. You got me, you got me good.”
Sam was now crying and hugged Maria as hard as he could. He then started to shout out into the abyss of the ocean.
“She really loves me. She does. Yahoo!”
The two just sat there in each other’s arms, crying, and laughing at each other. They both had the plan, and wanted to wait until they reached the Island, but just felt this special evening seemed right.
They finished their mouse, which was to die for, and had their espresso and then headed to the wheel with Sam at his post and Maria wrapped in a blanket next to him. They chatted for a about another hour.
“Sam, I have another surprise for you.”
“What do you have up your sleeve now?” Sam thinking some romance, of course.
“Well, what do you say, we make this final?”
“What do you mean, final?”
“Well, I kind of had a plan when I gave you the ring, that you might be thinking the same thing and even if you didn’t, it didn’t matter, that we could figure a ring out for me when we get home, but I thought that if you said yes, Sumshi could marry us right here on the boat. I know that Sumshi can legally marry us, he told me that a long time ago when he and I were chatting one day. One of those things he got licensed for when he worked on the Cruise ship. I asked him if he would and he would be delighted to; that is if you would like to marry me.”
“Of course, I’d marry you now. I just thought you might want to have the whole kit and caboodle. A large wedding and the whole dress and cake and hoopla.”
“I don’t need that stuff, Sam. You know me.”
“Are you sure. I want to spoil you and show you off.” He responded in total shock of the turn of events.
“Well, we could still have a big party when we get home and have all our friends and family come; you can spoil me then. What do you think?”
“If that is what you want, then that is what I want. I have to say Maria, you have got me on this one. I was worried that you might not say yes. You not only want to say yes but want to marry me right now. Got to tell you, Doll, you keep me guessing.” Sam leaned over giving her a kiss on the forehead, while she cuddled in the blanket.
“I know Sam, it seems a little odd, but I have thought about this a great deal lately and you know I have always loved you, and I just wanted to be totally sure. Once my mind was set, well, why wait. That was one of the reasons why I was so into this vacation. I can’t wait to see the Island and have some nice adventures together.”
Sam took a break from the wheel and cuddled her. The two sat there for a moment just in silence, and then softly, Sam started to kiss the back of her neck. He brushed her hair away from her face and kissed her cheeks and earlobes and let his hand wander to her soft but firm breasts. She had perfect breasts, they fit comfortably in his hand and were taunt and firm. He unbuttoned her top and slid his hand in her bra, rubbing her nipples, with his fingers, until they became hard. He then slowly started to kiss the front of her neck, and down to her nipples where he rested there for a spell, taking his time, and feeling her arousal. She was running her hand through his hair. As he was still licking and sucking on her breasts, he moved his hand up her skirt and surprisingly she had no underwear on. She giggled, “surprise” she said out loud to him.
“Very nice,” he said, while he removed his manhood from his pants and ever so gently slid himself inside her. He was slow with his movements, each movement deep and sensual. Maria was enjoying the slowness and gentleness. That always did it. He then started to thrust inside her, with Maria meeting each thrust as her hips arched and she dropped her head back and let the movement take over her. With each thrust, he rubbed himself against her, bringing her to an organism and as she came in his arms, he released himself into her.
The two decided that on the next night, Sumshi would marry them, which he did.
The ceremony was quite simple. It was another beautifully sunny day, and the water was smooth as silk. Sumshi did the service at the bow of the boat, which only took a few minutes and when it was done, the two enjoyed the day together, frolicking in bed, under the sheets and taking long naps, while Sumshi handled everything on deck. In the later part of the day, Sumshi stopped the boat again and let them swim, this time Sam, being brave enough to enter the water.
“Oh, my God, Sam. Jaws is not going to get you.” Maria teased him.
“I know, it was just a movie, but it freaked me out as a kid. I have never gotten over it. I can’t shake it.” He replied, swimming very cautiously in the water, trying not to make much of a splash. He was not comfortable in the water, the whole time looking down at his feet, and all around him for anything; anything at all.
Maria could not help it, but she started laughing.
“Sam, really, you big goof. We won’t even be in the water long enough, okay?” Just as she said that something brushed up against Maria. Her expression went from laughing to dead serious.
Sam’s eyes widened about two inches each.
“What! What is it? Maria, what is it?” He yelled.
“I don’t know, something brushed up against me. I can’t tell, I can’t see anything.”
“Jesus Christ, Maria, if you are teasing me, I swear to god I’ll kill you.”
“I’m not kidding you, Sam, there is something under us. I think we should head back to the boat, just swim slowly and look around.” Maria was a little fearful now.
