Chapter 12
The gang entered the bar. It is a bit run down but hey, they can afford it and it's the only place left in town.
Closing the ranks is Will. As the newbie he is still the last in line. Even if the others would prefer to have him in front where they can see him. Trust is a difficult thing for Travis and Soper, having the princess at their back is scary. But honour is even more valuable. Or so they still think.
Finding a booth at the back the gang starts sliding in. Leaving Will to get the drinks, so he starts to take their orders when he all of a sudden notices that he has lost the interest of his fellow wizardians.
And to be honest he has seen smarter looking sheep, and Monte needs to go to the dentist, his wisdom teeth are showing. Turning around Will freezes for just a second. Then he murmurs something into Crosby's ear. But Crosby isn't paying attention, he is seeing a vision.
Standing on Crosby's foot is the only way for Will to get his attention.
"OW. What the fuck did you do that for?"
"I know I know. Just remember that for the rest of the evening I am going to be acting crazy. Don't think anything of it."
Nodding Crosby pretends to understand completely what Will means. Or so he thinks at the time. He would like to behave crazy as well.
Only the way Will starts acting is too crazy even for Crosby.
Will starts mincing forwards to the vision's wagging his hips seductively, or so its seems to Crosby.
" Seffy Darling. How Wonderful to See You."
And Will embraces the first red headed vision, the one in the skimpy green dress. The two others who are clearly twin sisters and are dressed in light and dark blue, are hanging back a bit. Giving the three perfunctory kisses in the air Will frantically whispers in Seraphina's ear
.
"I'm Will to them and enjoying myself. So please don't blow my cover. If you do, I will deforest an island. Got it?"
The red headed vision plasters an extremely fake smile on her handsome face and gives Will three Parisian air kisses. Before heading over for the booth where the sheep impersonators are still in shock their lower jaws hanging on the table. The only thing missing is the puddle of drool. And she is dragging a unwilling Will with her.
"So Handsome, Who of These Fine Specimen Is Yours? I would just Hate to Shoot under your Pigeons."
And that with a delightfully wicked smile, that has all the guys just trembling to get it directed at them. Her voice is pure music, like angels singing.
Scowling Will frees his arm and answers. "None of them is mine Seffy, I have better taste. So feel free ladies."
And the ladies don't need any further invitation. Within seconds the three red hot redheads are squeezed between the more experienced fishermen, who by know have managed to get there lower jaws from the table and into place again.
Seffy, or Seraphina as she prefers to be called, the first and leading redhead, gives Will a big smile, and orders a round for the table.
Within 5 minutes Will is back with a round of mimosa's.
Getting her drink she smiles at Will again.
"You know I all of a sudden remember why I hate you so much sugar. Now go away and let us play."
Not feeling like sticking around, and happy with his chance to escape Will tries to get Lynn and Crosby save. But the boys clearly don't want to be saved. So he leaves for the boat and turns in for a early night.
The next morning at seven, Keith and Will are enjoying an elaborate breakfast when the others come crawling on board. No one wants any breakfast. Travis going so far as to turn green and start pucking from the smell of fried eggs.
Keith raises an eyebrow and looks at Will.
"What the hell is wrong with them?"
Grinning Will answers."They have run into some of my former colleagues. And those "ladies" are three insatiable nymphos with sponges for liver."
The lingering Lynn just nods in agreement and cant suppress a shudder at the accurate description. But he just has to know.
"So how did you survive working with them?"
Grinning even wider the response is."Well, you might not have noticed but I pretend to be Extremely gay whenever they are around."
Not even bothering to suppress the shudder to that answer Lynn makes his way to his bunk.
