In my stories, there are two of Sir Francis Drake's rings. Nathan and Natalie both have one. Anyway, on with the story!
"Kids, what's going on out there?" Sully asks as he peers out our motel window.
We walked over and peer our heads out. We smile.
"It's Cartagena's annual summer festival! It's really cool!" I say, smiling brightly.
He chuckled.
"Sounds like you two have been there before." He stated.
Nate nodded.
"Best time to sneak food into our pockets. People are too busy listening to the bands or looking at shops in the market." He says.
Sully kept quiet for a moment.
"You two wanna go?" He asks.
We nod.
"Sure!" We say as we put our shoes on and exited the motel.
We walked down the street where the loud music boomed.
"Wait, we can just walk in? Just like that?" Sully asks us.
We laugh.
"Uh, yeah. How else did you think we got in?" I mock.
He laughed as we walked into the busy streets.
We finally got to play some of the fair games we have wanted to play and bought a few items from the craft shops. During all of this, Sully was flirting with every woman he could talk to. Nate and I would roll our eyes or shake our heads at every cheesy pick up line or every over-exaggerated compliment he made. Some women played along while others huffed and walked off. One woman slapped him when he thought he had said something nice to her in Spanish when he had actually called her a fat, ugly cow. Nate and I had laughed over that one for at least five whole minutes.
"You defiantly need to work on your Spanish, Sully!" Nate said as we continued to laugh.
He ruffled our hair. That's when he noticed a woman smiling at him. He gave her a grin back and waved at her. She shyly waved back.
"C'mon, Sully! Haven't you failed enough already?" Nate said as Sully walked towards her.
"Guess not." I say as we stand and watched the two adults.
We figured that the conversation wouldn't last more than ten minutes but this time it was different. The woman kept giggling and Sully kept on playing his game.
"For the love of.." We say as we roll our eyes.
We approached Sully.
"Sully, are you ready to go yet?" I ask.
He held up a hand.
"Just a few more minutes, kids." He says, not even looking at us.
The woman turned her eyes to us. No. Please, no.
"Are these two yours?" she asks sweetly.
We had been so luck to not have been dragged into this situation until now. Nate and I looked at each other than to Sully. He looked at us puzzled then he smiled as he put his arms around us.
"Yeah! This is my son Nathan and my daughter Natalie. Kids, say hello to Maria." He says kindly to us.
We glanced from the woman to Sully, We looked at her.
"Trust me, you don't want him." I joked.
"Yeah, he's way out of your league." Nate agreed.
"Oh, is he now?" She playfully says.
We nod. Sully laughed and patted us on the head.
"Oh, you two are so funny!" he says as he gives a fake laugh.
She looked at him, smiling.
"I should be going home now. You and your children have fun at the festival, Victor." She says as she walks past him.
He turns his head back to her one last time before looking back at us.
We pretended to fiddle with our rings as Sully looked at us. We looked up and gave a sly smirk.
"What?" Nate asked innocently "
You two think you're funny, don't ya ?" He laughs at us.
"Let me correct something, all of the women you've talked to today have been out of your league." I say as we chuckled.
"It looks that way, huh?" he says as we began to walk back to our hotel room.
"I'm sure they'll be more women you can flirt with." I say, waving my hand.
He scoffed.
"How would you know that?" He asks, lighting a cigar.
Nate turned his head towards him.
"You're an old dog! Always barking up the wrong tree!" Nate laughed.
We continued to laugh and talk for the rest of the day.
