Intermission –

I wanted to say that you guys are truly AWESOME with all the responses but have left me in a BIG quandary; we're going to change the story somewhat. My husband actually suggested this. I don't know who remembers the Choose Your Own Adventure books from years ago. Well, after much thought and confusion, I want everyone to have something to read (b/c I know I happen to like one ship more than others). Unfortunately, I haven't quite jumped on the Oliver Queen bus yet. Both versions will try to be equally romantic but obviously one more edgy than the other. So here's how it works….the next time I post, I will post TWO POSTS.

If you want Bachelor #3 to be Clark, choose the GOOD label

If you want Bachelor #3 to be Lex, choose the EVIL label

You will follow those labels through the rest of the story for that particular ship. I wrote the bachelor 3 to be ambiguous for this exact reason, to make it sound like either one of them since they are inherently the same in ways.

If you read both posts, just have fun with it.

Also, I was inspired by a couple of things …

First, The Weekend, an old song from Steve Wariner will probably have a few lines thrown in here and there because it reveals what I'm trying to convey. Also, just throw on some romantic beach music (Be As You Are from Kenny Chesney, my choice) to set the mood.

Second, the place they are is an actual place. Very exquisite and private. www aprivateisland com Check it out if you want to picture the location because words can't describe it enough. Just for clarification, they are in Casa Manana - Now if that isn't a free advertisement, I don't know what is.

I hope to have the new posts up soon – this is my summer break, I have a lot of time to kill.
