161 Trip to the Caribbean
Theorod thought twice and set his destination on Tortola, the main island of the British Virgin Islands.
If he only thinks about the small number of people, he can choose to stay away from the most famous archipelago in the Caribbean, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, located in the southeastern Caribbean, which is overlooked by most tourists due to its remoteness from Jamaica and Puerto Rico, but in fact its seascape and rainforest are no less than those of several other famous islands, and Theolod liked to spend the winter on Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in his previous life.
However, the area is less touristy, and its main selling point is the countless water sports and rainforest adventures for the youngsters, but definitely not for Maggie. So he chose the relatively less crowded island of Tortola, where the beach is nice and the residents are hospitable, and if Maggie is tired of the beach, he can choose to visit the ruins of the island's castle, or rent a private yacht and sail west for two or three hours to reach the more lively resort town of Puerto Rico.
Theolod looked at the sunset as it sank into the sea and stretched to release the fatigue of the long journey. Even though it was summer, the evening sea breeze still carried a little coolness on his face, and after placing his luggage and tidying up his room, he rarely came to the viewing platform in a leisurely manner, and sat on the edge of the wooden countertop, his legs immersed in the cool water. The daily expenses are not large, but he is definitely a big deal with Maggie, so he directly rents a clean seaside villa, with seven rooms and Maggie can choose her favorite at will.
Maggie chose a room facing the sea, and Coria's little girl was in a hurry to occupy the room next door to Maggie that also had a view of the sea.
"Some iced coconut water?" Theorod heard the glass door open first, and Natel walked over, still holding a glass of milky liquid in his hand, "My mom and Coria just went out to buy it." ”
His voice was much calmer than before, and when he got on the plane, Coria took the lead in occupying the seat that belonged to Natel and sat next to Theorod, who had to sit behind Maggie, diagonally behind Theorod. Theolod was very tolerant of Kolya who changed seats at will, and even helped her explain it to the flight attendant, and during the entire flight after that, Coria seemed to have countless questions and countless topics grasping Theolod, and Maggie was still fanning the flames and conniving on the side.
As for Nattle, when he saw that he had no success regaining his position, he put on an eye patch and headphones and went to sleep, but whether he was asleep or not is debatable.
"Of course, thank you. Theolod took the glass of coconut water, drank it in one gulp, and then sighed, "Nat, it seems that I have distanced myself from Corria over the years, and I wanted to greet each other like ordinary friends when we first met, and now, just sitting next to me is so excited that I am still a little thirsty." ”
"She's been a fan of yours in the first place, and the bedside poster has long since changed from Leonardo to Theorod. Natel snorted disappreciatively.
"No, I mean, once upon a time, we were like brother and sister. Theorod sighed softly and looked silently at the calm sea.
Natel understood what Theorod meant, and he sat down beside him, staring at the sea without saying a word. The water was so clear that he could clearly see the rocks and gravel on the bottom of the sea, as well as the occasional unknown fish that swam by. There was still some distance between him and Theolod, and the setting sun stretched their shadows long.
"Once upon a time, we were like brothers. Nuttel whispered, indistinctly whether he didn't care or cared too much, "But now, you might say we're still good brothers, but I don't know what we are, and you always ignore certain issues over and over again, even if I take a step back again and again." ”
Natel may have thought that saying these words in a relaxed tone would not be much of a burden to Theorod, but Theorod, who was good at reading words and colors, could still hear the temptation, helplessness, and the sense of security that was forever lost in his tone. But in the blink of an eye, Natel spoke again.
"There's still a chance, Theo, there's still time, I know Coria, and in these days, you can get a 'sister' again, and she's nothing more than adoring you. Natel reached out and patted Theorod on the back, and if he hadn't sat firmly, he might have been deliberately pushed into the sea at this moment.
"Okay, I see, Nat, she's you, yes, sister. Theorod thought he had understood what Natel meant. If he was still a little jealous on the plane before, now Nattle also understands his attitude towards his sister, and it seems that there is rarely such a misunderstanding between them, because they know each other too well.
Thinking of this, Theorod lowered his head and lowered his eyes and laughed instinctively.
In the orange-red sunset, the golden hairs stroked by the sea breeze lightly crossed the pink lips, and the smile made Nutle's eyes softer and softer, he felt that he had fallen into a daze, and he couldn't take his eyes off, only he smiled, his whole world brightened, and the magic made him gradually hook the corners of his mouth.
The afterglow made Natel see the shadows of the two, and the shadows of the two who turned their heads slightly to face each other were like kissing affectionately in the sunset.
Theolod noticed Nattel's eyes, he immediately put away the smile on the corner of his mouth and stood up: "I'll go and see today's dinner, Maggie may be distressed that the kitchen here is very different from hers. ”
Theorod left in a hurry and left only a string of wet footprints on the floor.
Natel looked at the footprints, blinked, and the gentle smile on his face instantly turned into a meaningful evil smile. He also stood up neatly, stepped on the series of footprints step by step, walked into the house, and closed the glass door, leaving only the two footprints overlapping each other, and the sunset that was half-sunk to the bottom of the sea.
Early the next morning, Theolod, who has maintained a good habit of going to bed early and waking up early, took Maggie, who was also used to getting up early, to go around and buy some tropical fruits by the way. When they went back, Nattel, who was half-naked and wearing an apron, had just made breakfast, and Coria, who had just gotten up, walked downstairs and saw Natle wearing an apron without a shirt, and immediately shouted: "In broad daylight, you can not put on your clothes, I don't know that I think you have just finished shooting!"
"I'd love to, it's not like you haven't seen it before, why make a fuss. Don't you also like muscular men, if you look at your brother and my body, you won't be interested in the crooked melons and cracked dates of your school's football team. Natel said as she took off her apron, and her sturdy body, which was slightly drenched in sweat, made Coria stunned.
"Ahhh ”
"Really, do you want to stop taking a closer look?" Natle smiled wickedly, tensing his biceps and abs, and let his chest muscles shake a little, and raised his eyes just in time to grab Coria who was looking straight.
“…… Hooligans!bastard!" Angry Coria yelled angrily, "I'm going to tell Mom!"
"Oh, little girl with a crying nose, what else are you going to do but complain to our mother? Look, you didn't listen to me when I told you to fight, and now you don't have the ability to beat me. ”
"You, you ......" Coria was suddenly speechless, another aspect of the fact that Natle, the rogue bastard brother, protected his family very well, and Coria had not been able to learn the little sister's scolding skills at all.
Just as Corria was once again defeated and sullen, and Natel was once again triumphant at the success of bullying her sister, a gentle and smiling voice interjected/came in coldly—
"She can also file a complaint with me. Theolod, who walked into the living room, looked at the Pop brothers and sisters with a smile, and winked at Corlea, "Your brother works for me, dear Miss Pop, if he continues to bully you like this in the future, you can come to me, although I can't beat him, but I want to work overtime and deduct some wages, I can still do it." ”
Coria stared blankly at Theorod, who was smiling like the big brother next door, and after a few seconds, she suddenly screamed and ran upstairs in a hurry.
Theorod looked at her panicked back, tilted his head, and then looked at Natel, who looked strange because of Theorod's sudden appearance, and asked, "What's wrong with her?"
"What else can it be? She was wearing pajamas, no makeup, no hair care, and she saw you, screamed and ran into the room, which is quite light, if it is those fanatical fans, she will faint and want to die. Natel rolled his eyes, then covered his naked/naked upper body with his apron and hesitated, "So, um, when did you come back? Did you have breakfast? Me, I made breakfast......"
"I hear it all, Nat. ”
"......" Natel slapped his forehead and covered his face.
"By the way—" Theolodra spoke, his hands folded on the bar in front of Nattel, leaning forward to lean closer to him, he could clearly see the other man peeking through his fingers with his fingers slightly open at his pause, but he didn't break it, but continued to chuckle, "You're in good shape, Nat. ”
"Really? do you think so?" said this, and almost instantaneously lowered his hand, threw off his apron, and leaned forward towards him in the same position as Theolod, but his posture was just right for the strong pectoral muscles to squeeze together and squeeze out a little groove.
Looking at Nattel, whose eyes lit up almost instantly, Theolod even had the illusion that the other party suddenly had an extra tail that kept wagging his dog. So, he nodded matter-of-factly, shook his head again, and said solemnly in a low voice, "Really, and, no, that's what Maggie said." Maggie and I just got back and haven't had breakfast yet, so let me see what you've made, omelettes? ”
Theolod, who had taken the plate of omelettes, glanced at Natel again, and he thought, if the other party really had a tail, then his tail hair must have exploded at this moment.
With the morning interlude, Theorod and Coria finally got closer to each other, the beach trip in the morning went well, and in the afternoon Theorod took Maggie to Fort George. Maggie was old and not in good health, so they only walked around the periphery once and went home at 3 p.m. to rest.
Natel came back with two sets of scuba gear, and he wanted to go diving with Theolod in the waters near the villa. Coria wanted to go along, but considering that she didn't know how to dive and they didn't hire a professional diving instructor to accompany her, Theolod said that he would accompany her to see the reef when she learned to dive.
After putting on the diving suit, Natel couldn't wait to jump into the sea from the viewing platform, and by the way, he dragged Theolod off by the leg and hugged him with a full hug.
"Okay, where are we going? The diving view in the waters around here doesn't seem to be good, we should go to the beach side." Theolod said as he checked the state of the oxygen cylinder.
"No, I just want to try the water, after all, I haven't dived in a long time. Natel replied, "Joke, if you go to the other side, it's a tourist destination, and as soon as the divers grab a lot of them, Coria will definitely be arguing to go, and then the time between the two will become the time of the three?"
Theorod looked in the direction that Natel was pointing, and there was indeed a house in the distance. There are not many sea-view villas in this bay, except for the one rented by Theorod, and only the one in the distance. So he nodded, put on his mask, and dived into the sea.
Natel immediately followed. Although there are no large coral reefs in this area, there are a few spots, and the occasional strange rock and beautiful sea fish can attract Theorod's attention. Natel was not disturbed by these underwater views, for him the Caribbean Sea and the sea of Los Angeles are the same, and Theolod, even in a diving suit and carrying a bulky oxygen tank, in Nattel's eyes, he is still as light and nimble as a mermaid......
Natel gathered around Theorod like this, occasionally absentmindedly responding to some of his gestures, until he made an upward gesture, and he followed him out of the sea with some inexplicable feeling: "What's the matter? Is there a problem?
"No, I just noticed that someone was following us, didn't you see it?"
"Uh......," Natel didn't know how to answer.
"Forget it. ”
Theolod shook his head and continued to dive, but instead of wandering around as before, he swam to the beach not far away. Natel looked around, and did see a figure, not too far away, not too close, as if it had been hanging for a while.
Hell, there are other people diving in this kind of place that isn't a diving area? Are you idle and have nothing to do? You've been following them, could it be the paparazzi? Damn this paparazzi is too dedicated! Natel followed Theolod to the shore in dissatisfaction, and just threw down the bulky oxygen cylinder, and the person who had been following the two of them also went ashore.
Suddenly, Nattel's brow furrowed even tighter.
"Sir, has anyone told you that it is dangerous to follow someone all the time?" Nattel stared warily at the man who had climbed ashore.
When the other party heard this, he was slightly stunned, looked at Theolod and Natel, and immediately understood what was going on. He put down the oxygen cylinder a little helplessly, shook the bottom of the dark brown hair, lifted his mask, and said to the two: "Tracking? Sorry, I think you two misunderstood, I didn't follow you, I just wanted to go home." ”
The other party smiled lightly. This misunderstanding does make people helpless and laugh, and he has a handsome and tough face, which makes him even more charming when he laughs, and with that typical British accent, it is easy for people to let down their guard.
However, it does not include Nattel. He listened to the other party's explanation, still vigilant, and he glared at him fiercely, "Go home?"
"That's right, over there, it's my home, and I'm here for a vacation. The man nodded earnestly and pointed to the villa not far away.
It was the destination that Natl had previously proposed.
Natel was silent, he also realized that it was a misunderstanding, the three of them just happened to be on the same road, but it was obviously a bit difficult for him to apologize to a stranger, after all, he was not good at apologizing or thanking him since he was a child. He thought of something, looked at Theorod, who was staring at the man's face without saying a word, hesitated for a moment before he looked away, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry." ”
"It's okay, I didn't expect to meet other divers in this area, did I? I thought people who liked diving would go back to the beach on the other side." The other party didn't care about the hostility of Natl before, and even made a joke, "I thought you were thieves who plotted against my villa, so we evened out." ”
At this time, Theorod, who also misunderstood the identity of the other party, was willing to take off the mask, he brushed the broken hair hanging in front of his eyes, smiled kindly at the Englishman, and pointed to his villa in the distance: "And what is more coincidental is that my home is that house, it seems that we are still neighbors...... You're supposed to be Christian Bale, Arthur of Velvet Goldmine, right?"
The man laughed in surprise when he heard Theorod say that they were neighbors, but he didn't expect the other party to recognize him, his eyes widened in surprise, he looked at Theorod carefully, suddenly remembered something, and said in surprise: "You are ...... Theolod Lecht?Oh my God, this, it's incredible, I mean, whether it's meeting you here, and you're my neighbor, and we've both walked together by the way, or you're talking about Velvet Goldmine...... Seriously, other people usually bring up Empire of the Sun or something else in this situation, as long as it's not this one. ”
"Well, I'll admit that Velvet Gold Mine is very niche and maverick, but, you know, I kind of love these kinds of movies. Theolod winked at Bell.
Natle knew it was going to be worse when he looked at the look on Bell's face, especially when the two were talking. Damn, is he a brain pump, or is he just thinking about diving in a place like this? This uneasy guy in his family even invited this Englishman to drive his rented private yacht to Puerto Rico tomorrow?
"You're going to Puerto Rico too? What a coincidence, I'm going to go there with my girlfriend tomorrow." ”
