#332208 - Steve asked “Are you staying?” I told him I had asked Tracy to stay the night, I was ready to go now once she had finished her drink, Steve said “I’ve asked one of the lads to walk you back up the beach make sure you’re safe” “Oh thanks you are great” I said, he kissed me and gave me a big hug, told me he loved me and said he would call as soon as he could, with that he was gone. I hesitated and asked myself just how she did that quite so quickly she must have run into the kitchen while I was freshening up. A shadow fell over me I looked up from my book slightly heavy eyed and was looking up at a young black boy, he was stopped down towards me offering in a language I could hardly understand some bits of jewelry, no more than brightly colored beads on thin leather strips, he shook them they jangled together, he said something like “you like missy very cheap to you” I said “no thanks perhaps another time” I looked at his bare chest as close to black skin as I have ever seen,
