”Right, right, no drinks for you. In Canada though you’d be legal. Got to stop thinking like that before I get us all in trouble.” Gordie chuckled to Erin’s comment.
”Man, they edited that scene with Han and Greedo so much I don’t even know who shot first. But you ain’t no Greedo, I’d never shoot you like that. Think of it like…good vibe shootin’.” Gordie said, going along with the younger girl’s dorkiness. So definitely like his little sister.
”Love me some good bonfire parties. Gets real nice and toasty.” Gordie mused over the suggestion of a pit fire. It was warm enough in Miami even at night so it might be a little overkill to get a fire going though. So whether they wanted to come back to his and Lily’s dorm or not, it was cool either way. Eren took back his money at least, Gordie still being shamed by the other man’s tremendously good humour and kindness. He would have to step up somehow.
”I was just trying to keep up with y’all, is all.” He mused, sipping on his beer, enjoying the sun and wind as other folks from their little group filed in here and there, including Anna.
Others went off to swim. Winston showed up, with half a party in his bag, with all the good stuff definitely.
”My man.” Gordie said in praise, shooting the newcomer an outstretched fist for a bump.
Cammi inquired, for a class of hers, if any of them wanted to model. Looking her up and down, he wondered why she would even need them when she filled out all the requirements for that. Gordie didn’t think he was that good looking himself to be in pictures. Maybe to impress the local small town hottie but given all the wonderful bodies he had seen in Miami, including amongst his new friend group? Seems like any would be prospector would be drowning in potential models.
”I’ll help however I can.” He offered to Cammi, before she went off with Winston for a swim as well. Gordie personally had enough of water today, in any of its form, whether it be liquid, solid, or gas.
”Reeny in heels? After seeing her on skates, I – we all – gotta see this.” Gordie teased the ex-soldier with a laugh. He didn’t go into details about her skating abilities, knowing she had some kind of injury which she was not inclined to share yet, but he remembered the scene quite fondly.
It was easy to go through a beer or two without thinking. Good weather, good company, chill dudes and very hot women, how could a person not be in the zone? Gordie was making several trips to the tiki bar and back, bringing whatever else anyone might need as well as plenty of beer for him. Being a large man, soon a small collection of bottles gathered before him on the ground next to his towel.
”This beach is nothing like the one in Seattle, let me tell ya.” He said to Irene, Anna, Lily, Athena, Eren, and whoever else was still about, applying their sun screen or getting ready for a dip. He couldn’t betray ice skating for water swimming though. It was just weird. And the last thing he needed was momentarily distractions when he was back on the ice of possibly slipping through it into water.
Everyone was getting along nicely. And Gordie didn’t blame them. They were all wonderful looking men and women. He licked his lips, remembering his own bid for romance, and cast a glance aside at Irene. Definitely not a dress and heel girl. Then again, Gordie really realized he never had a certain type he gravitated to.
”Jeez, all these gorgeous folks makes me want to hit up the gym again and pump up just to compare.” Gordie commented further with a laugh. Maybe it was the beer getting to him that was making his compliments come loose.
Following Eren’s example, he figured. Better to imitate virtues at least.
”So which one of y’all is prepping for the football team? That’s the main pastime in America right? Or is it still baseball?” Gordie inquired of Eren and Jason, newly arrived.
