Boy Meets Parenthood: 21
Work or Play?
Shawn sat sipping his percolated coffee, compliments of Pablo, and typed a journal entry on his laptop. He made it a point to sit at least twice a day recording events before his memory faded. So many things to write, to take in- to reiterate in way that would make his experience come alive for his readers. He sighed heavily as he saved the document and shut down the laptop. Shawn looked to his left, and he saw the love of his life leaning on the railing sipping on a mug of morning java.
Angela's soft mocha colored skin shone with perspiration, making her radiate a more feminine quality than usual. The damp white blouse clung to her curves, and the khaki shorts allowed Shawn's eyes the sensuous beauty of her well defined legs. He just watched her in silence, enjoying her very presence. A little over a year ago, he never would have imagined such bliss.
Angela stood at the side of the houseboat, watching the river and its inhabitants as they floated along. Hot, sticky and totally wonderful. Those were the three words she had used to describe her adventure to Shawn. There may be discomfort, but it was nothing compared to the marvels she had beheld. Not many people ever got the chance to be involved, to witness the majesty of this beautiful and underappreciated wilderness that was the Amazon Basin. Suddenly, something in the water caught her eye.
"Shawn!" She exclaimed in a hurried whisper, "Bôto's!" She pointed to the water with one hand as she waved him over with the other.
Shawn grabbed his camera, and was by her side in a second.
"Oh, man- pink and gray Bôto dolphins!" Shawn began focusing and clicking with his camera. These were one of the animals he had really wanted to highlight in his article, they were such amazing creatures. Usually only killed by local Shaman for the magical properties of their eyes, and the pink ones were supposedly responsible for unwanted pregnancies. Shawn chuckled to himself as he remembered the folklore Angela had read to him in his office late one night.
Angela covered her mouth with her hands from the sheer excitement. Each time she or Shawn recognized an animal or plant they intended to capture on film, Angela got an incredible adrenaline rush. She was becoming addicted. The thrill of the hunt, but no one got hurt.
"Oh, baby- you got them!" She breathed as the freshwater dolphins rose and fell in the muddy water beside the boat. They came up to breathe out of their blowholes and made the funniest sounds she'd ever heard. Angela giggled in delight. The dolphins seemed to be curious about the people on the boat, and made Angela think that the pod was deep in discussion about these strange visitors.
Soon, Angela turned her attention the man at her side. Shawn was skilled with his camera, taking only moments to withdraw a used cartridge and slip it into his pocket, then reloading in a matter of seconds. She could not help but admire him. Sweat poured from his handsome features, and his biceps ripples under his damp shirt with every change of angle. Shawn was completely focused on his goal of capturing the innocent beauty of the animals before him.
After what seemed to be hours, the pod slipped away from the boat as quickly as they had appeared. Shawn had snapped a good three rolls of film on them. Replacing his camera in its protective bag he turned to Angela and took her in his arms- lifting her and swinging her around. They both laughed with joy.
"Baby, you are the most amazing woman in the world," Shawn said gently as he sat her down. Bringing his lips to hers he kissed her deeply, passionately; a kiss that promised her his life.
"You are not so bad yourself, mi amour." Angela melted into his strong arms, sticky or not.
