You Would Not Believe How Low This Girl Can Limbo

Jan has impressed Michael in way more ways than just the one. Just her being here with him is impressive enough. Her opening up to him is impressive. Or slamming down shots like they're going out of style…that's super impressive. Her acting like how girls act when they're in a new relationship. She can't keep her hands off of him. And it's not even all in a sexual way-no-it's like super boyfriend/girlfriend, newlywed like. Just the simple little kisses she gives him (which-to Michael-isn't just simple-this is Jan, after all) or how she places her hand on Michael's thigh as she's laughing hysterically at something he just said. Oh, and this is all done in public. Not just in their room. All of those things make Michael more than just impressed-it makes him feel a stronger connection with this woman than he ever thought possible. There's a little something about Jan that he doesn't know, however, and he's about to find out.

This is Michael and Jan's last night in Jamaica. They're right outside the lobby bar waiting for the night activities to start. They've had enough drinks to make them feel buzzed but not enough to make them forget this night.

Jan is especially excited about tonight because tonight's activity is the limbo. She's finally going to be able to show someone this talent. No one knows this about her, but she can limbo so low you'd think every limb in her body was disjointed. Michael lives for shit like this which is why she's excited that he'll be the one who gets to experience it. She wouldn't want it any other way.

Jan laughs, "I still can't believe you got that."

Michael laughs as he waves his "braided" hair and beads around. "I know. Gotta give the ole peeps at the office something to talk about."

They laugh once again before Michael lowers his voice and gets closer to Jan's ear, "Let's go back to our room. Come on-I want to…" he whispers something in her ear which makes her giggle and eyes widen a bit. "What do ya say?"

"Oh Mr. Scott-you are so bad." He giggles as he gets up with her hands in his. Jan, however pulls him back to sit down.

Jan keeps her voice quiet, "Actually, Michael. As much as I…want you to do those things to me, I have been waiting all week for this night. Can we just stay and um…watch this? Then we can go back to our room and I'll…" same thing-Jan whispers in Michael's ear which makes him giggle.

"That's what she said."

The MC begins talking, "How's everyone doing tonight, mon?! Okay so tonight we're doing one of my favorite activities-the limbo! Who here is a good limbo-er?"

You can hear some screams come from the audience. Jan and Michael look at each other and laugh. "Can you limbo, Michael?"

"Not even a little bit." They laugh again.

"So tonight's winner will win this awesome steel drum! The lowest limbo-er will be able to bring this beauty home. Sounds pretty irie, huh mon?"

"Holy shit! That'd be so awesome! I've always wanted one of those. Okay, well since we've been here-"

MC continues, "everyone is eligible to play so if you think you have what it takes to limbo so low, you appear boneless, then get your ass on up here."

Jan gets up from her seat.

"Where are you going?"

"You know how I really wanted to see this activity tonight?"

"Um…yeah?"

"Well it's not because I want to watch people make an ass out of themselves."

"It's not?"

"Nope." Jan smiles before kissing him, "I'm gonna win you that steel drum."

She heads up to the stage where there are about 10 people. Michael is left speechless, something that is rare for him. He can not wait to see how low Jan can limbo. He already knows she's gonna win-she's perfect at everything.

"Okay so how about everyone say their name, where they're from and how low they think they can go."

Jan is stretching a little while everyone goes before her, she straightens up when it's her turn, "My name is Jan, I'm from New York City and I can limbo lower than the pegs on the stand."

"Wow! Seriously? Who are you here with?"

"Well I uh guess my boyfriend?" Looks out to Michael, "right? Is it-is it safe to say that's what we are? I'm his boss, so…"

"Oh I see…" he didn't see. "Well he is a lucky man, I'll say." The MC finishes with a wink and Jan blushes. "Alright mon-let's get started. Would you like to start us off Jan?"

So of course the first couple "rounds" are easy, even for the amateurs. There are always that one or two who hit bar right off the bat. It comes down to Jan and this other woman-who is a yoga instructor. They are on the 2nd to the last notch. Jan goes under with ease. It takes time and concentration but she does it. Everyone cheers and Michael has the biggest grin on his face. He's so proud of his girlfriend. The yoga instructor begins. She follows suit by taking her time and concentrating really hard. She ends up losing her balance half way through and falls down. People in the audience "Awww" at her but clap at how well she did then clap harder as the MC takes Jans hand and raises it in the air, indicating her triumph. Michael rushes up to the stage with a huge grin and pride. He can't wait to bring her back to their room.

"I'm not done yet." That's the truth-she's not. Michael stops at the bottom of the stage and his smiles fades a little. She had to prove it to everyone that she could go lower than the lowest notch.

"You won." The MC reminded her.

"I know…but I told you I can go lower than the pegs, so I will go lower than the pegs."

"Alllllright! Dedication and commitment…I love it."

Jan stretches just a tad more. "Alright-let's go." She says as she cranks her neck from side to side. Jan continues to show everyone her talent. Everyone, including the yoga instructor, is impressed. After it gets to the last notch, Jan motions for them to bring it even lower. After lowering it a few more times, she finally falls on her back, which isn't that far off the floor anyway. She begins laughing and everyone starts applauding. Michael rushes to her side and joins her by kneeling down. He kisses her and calls her crazy and inhuman.

"There ya have it folks-the lowest limbo-er we have ever seen. That was sure humanly impossible."

People laugh while Michael helps Jan up. People cheer once again and the MC hands over the steel drum.

They begin heading back to their room. Jan's on such a high right now. Her adrenaline is off the charts. Michael is not only impressed but also so incredibly proud of her. And amazed. Amazed at not only how low she limbo-ed but the fact that she won the steel drum for him. Not her. Him.

They get to their room and Jan closes the door and leans back on it and sighs. She's tired and sore. Michael smiles at her and she returns a smile. He grabs her by the hands and leads her to the bed.

"You need a hot bath and massage."

"I can't tell you how thrilled I am for being able to share that talent with you."

"Tell me about it. I live for shit like that…especially from you. Come here." He takes her in his arms and every bone in her body relaxes. "Let me get the bath water going. You need to relax those muscles. And then I can give you a full body massage."

"Oh god, that sounds amazing, Michael." She kisses him passionately.

"Do you need to have an ice bath like the athletes have? I mean no normal human can bend their body like you just did."

Jan laughs, "A hot bath would be just as good. Thank you."

Michael stares at her in awe and smiles as he shakes his head. She blushes a little but smiles back.

"What, Michael?"

"Oh, I just can't believe Jan Levinson is standing in my hotel room. It's a dream come true."

Jan laughs that beautiful laugh of hers, "I'm just a person Michael. Just like you. I have needs and wants and goals in life. Just like you."

"You're not just a person Jan. You're the hard on the outside, soft and gooey on the inside, ice queen, Jamaican sun princess."

"Oh god Michael." Jan rolls her eyes at his infatuation with her.

"Seriously Jan! I can't help but feel so…so…honored…to be able to see this side of you. I just…"

"I know Michael…I know." She smiles as she kisses him. "Now for the love of god, please make me that bath."
