AN: Sorry it's been a long time. With my college courses, it's been a little hard to get time to write. I don't know where I want to go with this story as of right now. I have a bunch of ideas. If y'all have any, please feel free to let me know
CHAPTER TEN
She spent time with her grandpa and dad the day she got back. She was glad to know her dad and Lisa was still going out.
"Do I hear wedding bells, daddy?" She asked her dad with a smile.
They were sitting outside while Camilla smoked a cigarette.
"I don't know about that." He chuckled. "Don't know if I want to get married again."
"Oh come on, dad." She said. "It's been damn near 20 years. Lisa's good for you."
"We just started dating and you're already trying to pawn me off?"
"Never."
They shared a laugh.
"Camilla…" Her grandpa said coming outside holding the phone. "It's Jake."
She took the phone with a huge smile.
Her father watched her as she talked. She had this huge smile on her face. He smiled. She was in love.
She hung up a few minutes later and apologized.
"They're leaving in a few hours and he wants me to come down there in an hour." Camilla told her dad. "But I don't want to be filmed."
"I can understand that." He said. "So, did you have fun in Seattle?"
"I did." I smiled. "Don't worry Jake was a complete gentlemen."
"He better have been. I'll lock his ass up faster than you can say bail."
Later that evening,
I pulled up at the CM and Jake was on top of the crab pots. He hopped down and I was greeted by Ryan, Josh and Jake. Jake hopped off onto the dock and kissed me.
"Hey, Cami."
I met the new deckhands Troy and Dale who replaced Freddie and Steve. I even met the new captain, Tony.
"I hate we can't go out and have drinks before you guys go out." I pouted.
"I'm gonna miss you." Jake said wrapping his arm around the blonde and kissed the side of her head.
Ryan and Josh looked at each other with grins. They were gonna rag on him once she was gone.
"I hope you guys have a better trip this time." She told the guys.
She hugged them all.
"Good luck guys and be safe." She told them.
She waved and got back in her car. She was headed to the bar when her cell rang and she seen it was her mom.
"Hi, mom."
"Hey honey, how have you been?" She asked. "How was your trip back to Seattle?"
"It was great." She told her mother. "How's Alabama?"
"Good." She told me. "When are you and Jake gonna come visit me?"
When you kick that loser to the curb. She thought.
"I don't know…I don't know when Jake will finish his trip."
"Well I would really love to see you."
6 WEEKS LATER
Camilla missed Jake a lot. She kept herself busy by working non stop with Lisa at the bar.
"What can I get you Roy?" She asked wiping the counter off.
"2 shots of Duck Farts, Cami." He smiled. "With a Bud Light."
She grabbed a shot glass and poured ½ oz of Kahlua coffee liqeur, ½ oz Bailey's Irish cream and ½ oz Crown Royal. She popped the top off the Bud Light and handed him the drinks.
"Keep the change, sweetie." He told her handing her a $20.
"Thanks, Roy." She smiled going to the register.
She took the change and put it in the tip jar.
The older man who was at the bar every day like clockwork. She worked until the bar closed and helped Lisa clean up.
"I'm so tired." Cami said once she finished the floor.
"You ok, sweetie?" Lisa asked. "You've been tired for weeks."
She was glad that it was Sunday, which meant she had the night off. She said bye to Lisa and headed to her house. She took a shower to hid herself of alcohol and cigarette odor. She slipped on her pjs and climbed into bed. She woke up around noon, when her dad came into her room. She slipped on some sweats, a jacket and sneakers. She washed her face and pulled her hair up. She didn't see her dad or grandpa so she knew they weren't home. She put her iPod on and started her hour run. She finished her run and went inside. She took off her earbuds and heard her cell phone ring and she groaned. She smiled when she seen it was her friend from Alabama.
"Hi, Chelsea!" Camilla said excited. "How have you been doing?"
"Well I'm engaged!" Her friend said excited.
"OMG, that's great!" She said truly excited. "When I left you were single."
"I know…I can't believe it myself." Chelsea said. "Camilla, he's so great. We met at Jason's birthday party. He's an attorney at his family's law office. We're actually getting married in April."
"April?" Camilla giggled. "Don't you think that's alittle soon? I mean you guys have only been dating for a couple of months."
"It just feels right." Chelsea said. "Your ass is going to be here too. You're going to be one of my bridesmaids."
"Of course, I'll be there." Camilla told her. "Can I bring someone?"
"OMG, you met someone? What's his name? What's he look like?"
"One question at a time, Chel." Camilla told her with a giggle.
"OK, first off...what's his name?"
"His name is Jake. He's a fisherman from Seattle."
"Is that all you're going to tell me?" Her friend complained.
"For now."
2 NIGHTS LATER
Camilla was once again at the bar. Suddenly her dad came in with his cop look. He walked up to her and handed her a note.
"Delivery." He said with a small smiled.
She took the note and opened it.
'Meet me at our spot'
J
She smiled and was glad it was her time to get off since she worked the day shift. She kissed her dad on the cheek, grabbed her coat and headed for her SUV. She pulled up at the mountain of rusty boat. She seen Jake standing by a burn barrel getting warm. She got out, leaving the lights on. He smiled when he seen her and she hugged him once she reached him. He gave her a passionate kiss.
"Miss me, Harris?" She teased once they parted.
"You wouldn't believe." He smiled kissing her forehead. "You're way better looking than 5 other guys, I'll tell you that much."
"How was your season?" Camilla asked as she turned toward the barrel and he wrapped his arms around her waist putting his chin on her shoulder.
"Better." He said with a sigh. "But I don't know if we'll keep the CM going."
"Wanna talk about it?" She asked turning her neck alittle to look up at him.
"Naw." He said. "What have you been up to?"
"Nothing much. You know Dutch doesn't have much to offer." She said. "Working at the bar, spending time with my dad and grandpa."
"You talk to your mom?"
"Not much." She said bummed. "But on a lighter note, one of my good friends from back home is getting married at the being of April."
"That's good." He said. "We going?"
"We?" She asked turning to him.
"Yeah." He said giving her a shy smile. "You're going to need a date, right?"
"Of course. I was going to ask you if you wanted to go." She smiled.
"Good." He smiled satisfied. "I'd love to see where you grew up."
