DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY WWE SUPERSTARS IN THIS STORY!
After their surfing lesson with Colby, the girls decided to go grab some lunch at the Waikiki Grill; a nice eatery suggested by the surf instructor himself. It was located on the resort and it was within walking distance- not too long and not too short- but enough to smell the flowers and enjoy the scenery. Once they got there, they were seated almost immediately and were welcomed warmly by the shack owner himself. His name was Sika, and he made it his duty to check on the girls all throughout the afternoon just to see if they were enjoying the food and having a great time. They were seated inside the enormous shack, however as they looked closely they could see an outdoor section with a big stage. After asking Sika about it, he informed the three women that usually customers have the choice to either sit inside or outside but seeing as the outdoor section is being set up for a special occasion later on that night, it was off limits for the time being. Sika later went on to explain that the stage was used for nightly entertainment and celebrations. The entertainment included things like live music, dance performances and other island traditions.
Seeing as the food was delicious and they enjoyed Sika's company and hospitality, they decided to retreat back to the Waikiki Grills for dinner later that same day; which brings us to the present. Lola, Sophie, and Mimi met up just outside their bungalows, each of them decked out in beautiful, long maxi dresses, ready to eat and have a good time. Sika practically begged the three women to stop by the shack and experience the 'Hawaiian Way' as he would call it; obviously referring to the festivities taking place at the grill later that evening.
"I'm ready to get my drink on." Mimi stated while playing with the curls in her hair.
"Of course you are." Sophie stated dryly. "Try not to overdo it though."
"Bitch, Imma get drunk. End of story." Mimi waved off dismissively.
Sophie snarled at her snarky friend. "Fine, but don't expect me to drag your ass back to your room when you get so tipsy that you can't even walk."
Mimi gasped mockingly. "I'm so scared."
"You will be when your ass wakes up naked in the woods somewhere." Sophie retorted quickly. "Try me if you think I'm bullshittin'."
"Uh-uh." Mimi stopped walking just to glare at her friend. "What's with all the 'tude?"
Lola groaned at the word. "Why can't you just say 'attitude' like a normal person?"
"Cause I like 'tude better." She scoffed as they proceeded to walk down the narrow pathway. "For real though, what's with all the attitude?" She asked, turning her attention back to Sophie.
"I don't have an attitude." She stated simply. "You said something to me and I said something back."
Before Mimi could respond, Lola decided to break up the tension. "Guys come on. We're in Hawaii, let's just enjoy this while we still can." She pleaded with her bright green eyes. Lola smiled and linked all three of their arms together as they continued their walk to the shack.
"This is fuckin' awesome." Mimi grinned as she took in the busy atmosphere.
The place was packed but not overcrowded, much to Sophie's relief because crowded places irked her. There were tiki torches lit with huge flames surrounding the perimeter of the outdoor deck of the restaurant, as well as on the sides of the stage. All the tables were covered in white cloth and had pink and yellow flowers sprinkled across them. The sunset illuminated the tall trees that surrounded the area, creating a reddish-orange glow to it; it was truly a beautiful sight.
"My three girls!"
Lola, Sophie, and Mimi all turned around and smiled when they spotted Sika. The old man had on a white button up shirt with gray cargo pants and he wore black flip flops on his feet. He smiled at the three beautiful women and nodded at the lady he currently had on his arm.
"Glad you ladies could make it." He smiled. "This is my wife, Patricia."
"Nice to meet you. I'm Sophie." Sophie smiled, extending her hand to the woman and smiled warmly when she took it in both her hands.
"I'm Lola." The blonde waved.
"And I'm Mimi." The redhead smiled and waved as well.
"It's nice to meet you girls." Patricia smiled. "Sika wouldn't shut up about you guys, after meeting you this afternoon."
"Cause pops loves us." Mimi grinned then cringed at the way it sounded. "Not like that though." Lola and Sophie groaned while the elderly couple just laughed.
"Now I see why he took a liking to you." Patricia chuckled at the flushed-looking ladies.
"You girls will be the death of me." Sika shook his head and chuckled. "Please, find a seat and enjoy yourselves. We'll have a waiter at your table in a minute."
"Thank you Sika." The three women said in unison and waved at Patricia before finding their seats.
~..~
The party was in full swing. As the night progressed, the place became more crowded than when they arrived but the girls didn't mind, seeing as they were already settled in. Not to mention, the area where their table was located was a bit more secluded than the other areas. The girls looked on in amazement as 5 Hawaiian women performed a Hula dance number up on stage. Their hips moved fluently and their movements sped up as the music played faster. Mimi even got up from her seat and mimicked the movements, although they weren't as graceful as the women's on stage.
"Sit down." Lola laughed while covering her face in embarrassment.
"Why?" Mimi began to slow down her movements. "The other guests seem to like my dancing."
Lola and Sophie looked around to see that everyone's attention was directed towards their table; specifically Mimi. Even the hula dancers on stage clapped and cheered as Mimi moved her hips to the soft Hawaiian music.
"Sika is gonna kick us out." Sophie said before sipping her Pepsi. Lola nodded her head in agreement.
"Y'all need to loosen up." Mimi chastised and smiled when she received a round of applause from the other customers. "See, Sika loves it!"
She pointed at the old man making her other two friends look in his direction. Low and behold Sika did indeed enjoy Mimi's little performance, as did his wife Patricia. Mimi did a dramatic bow in all different directions, immediately letting her friends know that she was tipsy as hell.
"Girl I need another drink!" She practically yelled out as she sat back down.
"No you don't" Sophie shook her head. "And keep your voice down."
"My voice is down!" Mimi hiccuped. "It's loud as hell in here anyway." She waved off.
"Mimi.." Lola whined as she took the redhead's finished drink away. "I'll go get you some water."
"No need."
The girls looked up after hearing the deep baritone voice and their jaws literally dropped. He stood before them in a white polo shirt, that hugged his every muscle, some gray cargo shorts and simple white sneakers on his feet; kinda like what Sika was wearing. He smiled down at them and motioned for the redhead to take the drink in his hand that he brought over.
"Hawaiian Sexy." Mimi whispered, never taking her wide eyes off of him. Lola and Sophie just groaned at the drunk girl.
"Not quite," The man smirked. "Hawaiian Fruit Punch."
"I wasn't talkin' about the drink." She retorted in a matter of fact tone.
"Please excuse her," Sophie butted in. "She's not usually like this."
"Girl you lyin'." Lola scoffed, unimpressed.
"Yeah but he doesn't know that." Sophie muttered under her breath.
"It's fine ladies." The grey eyed man chuckled. "I'm Joe." He finally introduced with a nod.
"No, you're Hawaiian Sexy." Mimi slurred with a flirty grin. Joe shook his head and blushed.
"I'm Lola," The blonde interrupted. "And this is Sophie." She pointed to the raven haired beauty.
"Nice to finally meet you ladies." He smiled. "My parents really took a liking to you guys."
"Your parents?" Sophie asked confused.
Joe nodded with a small smile. "Sika and Patricia." He motioned over to the elderly couple with his head. "They sent me over here when they noticed how drunk this young lady was."
"Who you callin' drunk?" Mimi narrowed her eyes at the man.
"You." He sassed right back, daring her to argue with him. He smirked when she didn't. "No more drinks."
"Whatever." The redhead looked away only for Joe to take her chin between his fingers and turn her head back so she was facing him.
"I said no more drinks." He stated more firmly. Joe knew that Mimi was a handful so he decided to take the dominant approach with her, and he knew she liked it deep down. Mimi didn't respond but sent him a stiff nod, though her eyes tossed him a deadly glare. Joe wasn't fazed by it though; he simply winked at her and stood up to his full height.
"It was nice meeting you ladies. I'm sure we'll see each other again real soon."
And with that, the grey eyed man left without looking back. The girls watched him walk away except for Mimi. She has never had a man tell her what to do or when to do it before. As much as it irked her, she had to admit that she kinda liked it. She was looking forward to seeing Joe again, she had a feeling that this was gonna be a game of 'who could be more domineering' and she was a willing participant.
"Let the games begin." She thought.
It was getting late, and people were getting ready to go, including some of the staff. At that point they decided that it was time to go, especially since a drunken Mimi was practically nodding off in her damn seat. Lola and Sophie each wrapped an arm around their friends' waist and made their way to the exit.
"Thanks for coming girls." Sika smiled. "Hope you enjoyed yourselves."
"We did." Sophie smiled back. "Thanks for inviting us pops."
He chuckled. "No problem, Kuuipo. Be safe, and get Mimi to bed will ya?"
The girls chuckled after glancing at their sleeping friend. "We will. Send Patricia our love."
"Will do." He waved as he watched the three girls retreat back to the resort.
Sophie could hear herself snoring, but she didn't give an ounce of a fuck. She had a long night last night, but she enjoyed herself. There was nothing more fun than hitting up a beautiful restaurant with amazing food and amazing entertainment and kicking it with her two best friends. She still couldn't believe that 'Hawaiian Sexy' made an appearance. Not only did he make an appearance, but he stayed and engaged in a short conversation with them- more so Mimi. Sophie smiled in her sleep at the thought of Mimi and Joe getting together eventually. She had no doubt that it was gonna happen- it was just a matter of time.
Suddenly a loud noise jolted the raven haired beauty from her deep slumber. She scowled when the noise wouldn't stop.
Bang! Bang! Bang! ..
Jumping out of her bed and slipping on her slippers, she made her way outside stopping when she spotted a man pounding on the roof of her bungalow. He stood on a small ladder, seeing as the bungalow wasn't that tall, and proceeded to make as much noise as possible. He wore a tight white t shirt, which made his muscles look like they were about to burst through the fabric at any given time. He had cargo khaki shorts on and some white sneakers. Sophie may have actually admitted to herself that he was sexy as fuck, but she was too mad at the moment.
"Excuse me?" She said in annoyance.
The man stopped what he was doing immediately and looked down at the small lady. His lips curved into a smirk when he noticed that she was only wearing a long t shirt. He was hoping that the woman didn't have any panties on underneath.
"What can I do for you sweet cheeks?" He responded with a smirk while obnoxiously chewing on a piece of gum. His dirty blonde curls fell just over his eyes, practically shielding his icy blue orbs from the woman.
"What a smug bastard." She thought to herself. "A sexy smug bastard."
"Do you know what time it is?" She asked with a raised brow.
"Quarter to 7." He answered smartly after looking at his watch. He then raised his brow right back at her. "You came all the way out here to ask me what time it was?" He tilted his head to the side and nodded it in the direction of her door. "You want me to go in there and fix your clock too?"
Sophie groaned. "No. I want you to stop with the fuckin' noise." She glared up at him. "I'm trying to sleep."
"Yeah I figured that much." He smiled while blatantly checking her out. "Nice sleeping attire."
Sophie rolled her eyes at the perv. "I'm sorry, what was your name again?"
"Jonathan." He shrugged, grabbing another nail out of his bag to patch up the hole on the roof. "You can call me Jon, though." He stuck his bottom lip out as if he were thinking. "Or daddy."
"I don't think so." She answered quickly and snarled when he just smirked at her. "What exactly are you doing anyway?"
"You ask a lot of questions." He sighed. "Just patchin' up a hole up here. Heard it was gonna be a pretty bad storm tonight." He resumed his task. "So you actually should be thanking me." He turned his attention back down to Sophie.
"You woke me up." She placed her hands on her hips defiantly. "I'm not thanking you."
"Stubborn." He grinned. "I like that."
"So are you gonna let me go back to sleep?" Sophie asked sleepily with a little hint of annoyance.
"Sure." He hopped down from the ladder and placed the tools back in his bag. "I'll just stop by later this afternoon." He picked up his bag and approached her. "Unless you're gonna be napping like an old person."
"I'll be up." She waved off walking back to her door.
"Nice meeting you miss-"
"Sophie." She answered turning back to face him.
"Sophie." He repeated in his raspy gritty voice, sending chills down her spine. "Cute name."
"Right." The raven haired beauty just retreated back to her room, closing and locking the door and hopping into her bed to get some must needed rest. Jon just stood outside her bungalow, taking one last glance at the wooden door then retreated back to his boss's office. The smirk on his face never faltered knowing that he will definitely be seeing the beautiful raven haired woman again.
Fun Fact; Kuuipo is Hawaiian for 'sweetheart'
Also the part with Jon and Sophie is also inspired by a scene in the movie 'Tempted'. I put my own little twist on it though ;)
