Kissing is something that me and Visser Three are able to do just rarely, so we enjoyed it now from the bottom of our hearts. I didn't even count how many ardent kisses we changed there, on the deck of the Daybreeze. Suddenly, we heard someone calling the Visser by his human name. He stepped away from my arms and watched to the direction the voice had come. The producer and Jeremy Jason were walking closer from somewhere near the back deck. Had the boy seen me and the Visser kissing?
Visser Three seemed to think the same and told me to hide. When I turned to go, the Visser grabbed onto my arm for a moment and hissed: "Tonight in my cabin at half past twelve. I'll leave the door unlocked."
Warmth ran to my insides. Visser Three let me go, and I slunk with my head down towards the back deck and pressed behind the corner. I listened what the producer and Jeremy talked to the Visser.
"…come with us to the cabin, we could still discuss about the contract, the things it would bring and especially money", the producer explained.
"By the way, have you seen… Ms. Love?" asked Jeremy. I gasped in relief. His tone of voice wasn't hinting.
"Not recently", Visser Three said with a completely neutral voice.
"But she said she'd leave to the deck", Jeremy said. "She can't be…"
I decided to take the situation to my own hands and walked calmly to the men.
"Oh, you're all here!" I exclaimed casually. "I was… on the top deck watching the city lights. Beautiful, aren't they?"
"Indeed", the producer said a bit absently. "Would you like to go in with us, Ms. Love?"
"Yes, yes, I would, it's so cold here", I chirped. We walked together to the main cabin of the Daybreeze.
My eyes met the bar desk built on one side of the cabin –I believe that bars are an important part of human culture- and the three young human women sorting out drinks behind it. Or just one of them, a quite short girl with chestnut brown hair, was sorting out drinks, the others were just hanging there and watching. I heard the other of them asking: "Couldn't I help?"
"No, Denriss, I mean Nicola", her mate muttered without even lifting her look from her work. This made me sure they were our people –Denriss is Yeerk's name. "Remember the last time –you mixed up water and booze and even managed to destroy the only food processor in the whole place."
"'Twasn't my fault, I mean that matter with da food processor!" Denriss/Nicola took offense, but then the third girl, whose skin was darker than the others', yanked the top hems of the both of her mates and whispered: "Hey, they like came now!"
With a blink of the eye all the three girls were standing in an upright position with smiles stolen from a typical humans' advertisement on their faces.
"Good evening, we're Jessica, Nicole and Tracy and we'll be your waitresses tonight, if you just want something for drink", the woman who had sorted out drinks spoke with an artificial voice. I saw her face now completely and recognized her. I had seen her a few times in the meetings of The Sharing. Her name was Jaylish two-four-nine, Jessica Brown by the human name, or so I remembered.
"Thank you, girls", the producer said and sat down on the leather chair. "We could have drinks now, couldn't we?" We agreed. Humans' alcohol drinks are pretty good. I sat down on the sofa with the Visser, and Jeremy Jason took the other chair. As Denriss had brought the drinks to us, she swung her blond hair and chirped: "Do you need something else, Vis- I mean Mr. Trent?"
"No", Visser Three snapped.
"Or would you like then…" Denriss' phrase was cut as Jeremy called her.
"Go", the Visser hissed. "And don't fawn on me like that while McCole is present."
"Yes, Visser, no, Vis- Mr. Trent", Denriss peeped as she stumbled to Jeremy.
"Can anyone be so stupid?" Visser Three groaned. "I'd like to destroy her now and here."
In my opinion Denriss was infuriating too, but in second thought she was also pitiable. She seemed to want flatter Visser Three with willing to serve and be scared to death by him in the same. I stroked the Visser's arm inconspicuously and smiled. They say that I have pacifying effect to our leader who's widely known of his fierce temper. It can be true.
