Chapter 17-Paradise
Day 4 in Cap Juluca
"You're next blog post should be called I'm on a Boat" Harvey said looking at the water.
"Show me how to do this" Olivia said as the waiter placed two cigars on the table, she stands up fixing her bathing suit.
"Alright" Harvey said sitting up, he takes out a cigar cutter from his pocket.
Olivia sits down taking a sip of water. "You'll have to cut into the cap, which is placed on the head of the cigar to keep it from drying out." Harvey said showing Olivia the cap.
"Just tap the cap of the cigar with the blade to put it in position. Don't cut into it yet." Harvey said demonstrating while talking.
"Aim the blade to the place where the cigar meets the wrapper, which would keep the cap from falling off." Harvey said cutting the cigars.
"That was quick" Olivia said.
"You have to do it quick. If you do it more slowly, most likely you will tear the wrapper" Harvey said.
"A joint is more simpler" Olivia joked, Harvey chuckled nodding grabbing the matches.
"The foot of the cigar is the part that gets lit. The tobacco needs to get warm first. old the flame below the foot without touching it, and rotate the cigar a few times until the cigar is evenly warmed." Harvey said demonstrating he hands Olivia the cigar.
Olivia puts the cigar in her mouth. As Harvey lit a match "Inhale just a little remember it's not a joint" Harvey said as Olivia inhaled, the cigar was lit.
"Blow" he said softly as Olivia blew smoke.
"You'll get used to it" Harvey said starting to light his own cigar.
"You do it so fast" Olivia said laughing as Harvey blew smoke they look at the view.
It was an immensely beautiful beach. Coconut trees formed picturesque arcs over endless stretches. The golden sand was fronted by shimmering turquoise tropical waters.
"The last day" Harvey said.
"Yea of the trip, the year" Olivia said.
"It's late in the afternoon, I guess we can go to one of the restaurants they'll probably have a New Years Eve party" Harvey began to say as Olivia took his hand.
"How about we stay in, we dress up and stay in see the fireworks from our room." Olivia said.
"I would like that" Harvey said.
"This is paradise" Olivia said.
"I knew you would like it" Harvey said.
"I love being here with you" Olivia said giving him a kiss.
"Finish your cigar" Harvey joked he rubs her shoulder.
"Yea yea" Olivia said taking a puff.

"Harvey is in Antigua?" Rachel said.
"How do you know that" Mike said.
"Olivia just posted about her surprise getaway with a friend, Ray did he dropped them off at the airport a few days ago." Rachel said.
"That's not like Harvey at all" Mike said.
"Good that is why you got some sleep" Rachel said.
"This is a new Harvey" Mike said.
"Why are you complaining" Rachel said.
"We have some tough cases ahead I hope he doesn't lose his edge" Mike said.
"I doubt that then he wouldn't have anything to impress Olivia" Rachel said.
Cap Juluca
"I got a blues station" Olivia exclaimed as Harvey came out in a black and white suit.
"Wow" Harvey said looking at the draped nude pink dress Olivia was wearing, the neckline was low that he can see the curve of her breast slightly.
"You look great too" Olivia said smiling giving him a kiss he puts his arms around her.
Harvey closes his eyes holding her closer, he felt peaceful. "What" Olivia whispered.
"Nothing, Liv, I enjoyed this time too" Harvey said.
"The fireworks are about to start" Olivia said.
"Don't they always say to make a wish" Harvey joked.
"Never heard of that" Olivia said as they rocked back and forth.
"Let's do it" Harvey said, they kiss as they looked at the sky.
"Ok there they go" Olivia said laughing as they watched.
"I wish to stay happy with Harvey" she thought making a wish.
"Keep Olivia in my life please" Harvey thought making his wish.
"Did you do it" Olivia asked turning around, Harvey nodded.
"I wished for Louis to turn into a cat" Harvey joked kissing her passionately.
"Shit it's 11:59" Olivia said looking at Harvey's watch.
"6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Happy New year" Olivia and Harvey said hugging each other.
"Happy New Year beautiful" Harvey said.
"Happy New Year" Olivia said.
"Best New Years Eve ever" she said.
"We need to dance to this" Harvey said hearing the beginning of Easy Living by Johnny Hartman started to play, he wraps his arms around her.
Harvey felt Olivia rub his back as they swayed to the music as she rested her head on his chest.
"Best New Years ever" Olivia whispered again, neither wanted to let go.
