A short little chapter for the Christmas weekend. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday regardless of what you celebrate. Thank you for reading my stories and your reviews. Writing has been the best thing to happen to me in 2016.

I hope you all have a great 2017!

I've forgotten how nice and calm the waters of the Caribbean are. It's a decent boat but I enjoy the sailing of my catamaran better.

Our first stop is Pigeon Island where a tour guide shows us about the pirate history of the island. Ana's enthusiasm makes me excited. It's like everything is wonderful and new to her. It's a breath of fresh air.

Our next stop is Reduit Beach. It's a bit crowded, but the soft, white sand and clear blue water are something to experience. "Christian, I have never seen water this clear before!" We're wading in the water and Ana seems to be in heaven. Suddenly she screams and practically leaps into my arms. "A fish touched my leg! I saw it!" I can't help it, I have to laugh at her squeal from the fish. "Christian! It's not funny." She gives me the most adorable pout.

"I'm sorry baby, I shouldn't laugh." But I can't stop sniggering. After a nice walk on the beach, more crowds start to come so we head back onto the yacht for our next stop.

At Marigot Bay we take in the swaying palm trees while our yacht is anchored near other boats. It's calm and peaceful here. We hike up the hill to Julietta's, a local restaurant that gives you a bird's-eye view of the bay. "Christian, the view is amazing! It's like a movie."

"Actually, I think they did film a movie here." Julietta herself comes to take our order. We both have conch fritters and coconut shrimp. This is a nice and cozy place. And, what I like most is no one knows who I am and no one cares. I'm just a regular tourist like all the other people. After lunch, we head back down to the bay and walk around for a little bit.

We cruise down towards the southern tip of the island to Anse Chastanet. It's supposed to be great for snorkeling. One of the crew brings up some snorkeling gear for us and anchors the yacht just far enough from the beach. Ana walks up to me in one of the bikinis. Holy shit. She is really hot. I wonder if she would let me fuck her in the water. "Christian, I've never been snorkeling before. Is it difficult?"

"Not at all, baby. You're going to love it." I help her get the mask, snorkel, fins, and finally the snorkel vest. I jump off the back of the boat first and then egg Ana on to do it too. "Come on, baby! You'll be fine." I must admit I am a little nervous she could hurt herself; she's not the most coordinated person. But, like always, she surprises me and jumps off the boat. A few seconds later she pops back up above water and I can hear her laughing from here. I swim over to her. "Are you OK, Ana?"

"Yeah, this is fun so far. So, where are the fish and stuff?"

"Come on, follow me." I start swimming toward some coral. And luckily, we spot a sea turtle. I motion for Ana to look and I'm pretty sure I heard her scream in excitement. I'm laughing so hard that I have to go above the surface to catch my breath. I go back down and swim over to the coral. There are bright hues of orange, pink, and yellow. A school of small fish swims under us like we aren't even there. I point out an eel and a sea urchin to Ana and I can tell she is a little uneasy. I swim to her and grab her hand.

As much as I would like to stay here and snorkel, we should get going. We swim to the yacht. I take Ana's gear and throw them on board. Then, I give her a boost up onto the back of the boat. I climb up and Ana is drying herself with the towel. "Christian, that was so amazing. Thank you. You spoil me."

I go up and give her a peck on the lips, "My life's goal is to spoil you." Even with the bit of sun she's caught, I can see her blush. She is so incredibly gorgeous with the sun shining down on her and the blue of the water making eyes look even bluer. This woman loves me and I love her.

I can't believe how amazing today has been. If the first day here is like this, I can't even imagine how good the rest of the trip is going to go.

Christian and I lay and relax as we sail to the Pitons drinking cocktails. They are gorgeous. I've never seen anything like them. I'm admiring the view when I notice Christian taking a picture of me. "Christian, no! I look like a disaster!"

"Anastasia, if that is looking like a disaster I would love to see when you are beautiful." He pulls out all the lines when he can. I smirk at him and just look away. "Would you like to go to the waterfall park?"

"Actually, I'm pretty tired. I think being out in the sun has worn me out. Is it OK if we do that another day?" As I say that, I stifle a yawn. I hope he isn't disappointed.

"Of course. We had a long travel day yesterday, we're out in the sun today, and there is the time difference. I think going back to the room is a good idea." He looks at me and with the corners of his mouth upturned slightly, he wiggles an eyebrow at me.

Christian then saunters up to me and sits next to me on the sofa. He caresses the side of my face with his hand. He slowly turns my head so I am looking at him and he kisses me gently and lovingly. He holds my head in both of his hands, and I have my hands in his hair. And this is when I realize this is the only man I want to kiss for the rest of my life. I love him with all my heart and soul. But, does he feel the same about me? I worry that one day I'll wake up and it will have all been a dream.

"Anastasia, I love you."

"I love you, Christian."
