Chereads / Heart In The Ocean / Chapter 11 - The Spanish Maine

Chapter 11 - The Spanish Maine

Time jump (two weeks)

Time had flown by, work had been fantastic I even got a promotion Head Pastry Chef. With great power comes great desserts as Sarah said, all the staff have been lovely towards me and we had gone out here and there but I'd spent most of my time with Dean and now we had arrived in Spain I was looking forward to the treasure hunt that's all I've head about so I knew it was going to be good.

Dean POV:

It's been a few weeks and I've enjoyed spending time with Elizabeth nothing has been rushed or forced, I'm getting changed and ready for this weekend I've decided six weeks is enough time to tell Elizabeth how I feel I've got Saturday night planned after the treasure hunt I just need to figure out if Sunday is also an option.

Elizabeth POV:

I'm getting ready for the treasure hunt I decide on a purple and black striped bikini, I put on my favourite necklace and over the top a pair of short shots and a black shirt with silver buttons. I think flip flops would be best for climbing. As I make my way towards the meet up point on the deck, most of the staff are there as it's a big event I know we aren't going to win but I know the weekend is going to be fun.

Dean POV:

I see Elizabeth walking over I smile when I see her face, her legs are on display and her tattoos are on show she can definitely pull anything off or maybe I want to pull her shorts off. No stay away from bad thoughts.

**********

We are split into our groups and given a map, I have to say I'm not the best at navigating but I can ready a map, we have to use the boat to make our way around the island, get the prizes then race to the finish. I spaced out when they asked what the winning team would get because Dean and I kept staring at each other.

Dean POV: we are sitting in the small boat I keep staring at her legs, and I'm watching her mouth but I'm not listening to the words.

Elizabeth: "Dean hello, baby are you paying attention"

Dean: "no sorry darling I have to say I was looking at you sorry" I start to chuckle "what do you need me to do?"

Elizabeth "well I need you to navigate while I use the oars because I'm cr*p at navigating."

Dean: " ok flower I can do that, I need you to get to that piece of shore but I will help you because it's going to take most of the day to do this treasure hunt and you will need all the energy you can get"

Elizabeth: "deal, darling"

As we row to the shore we both suddenly hit on the realisation that we will have to steady the ship and dive in and walk up the hill.

Dean: "ok so I'll go get the treasure and you can stay safe here"

As Dean says this I've already started stripping down to my bikini. Before I dive in to the water my hair falls out of the hair pin and I kind of feel like a mermaid.

Dean: "fuck, Lizzie you are killing me"

Elizabeth:"I haven't even started yet, now come on we have a treasure hunt to start"

I hear the splash of the water behind me as Dean catches up with me we make it to the shore and I squeeze the water off my hair.

Dean: (inner monologue) god I want to snack her ass so badly should I, no that wouldn't be good. Oh fuck it I'm going to. My hand moves and I smack her on the ass

Elizabeth: I let out a moan "fuck Dean, what did you do that for?"

Dean: "honest answer, your ass is incredible I can't stop thinking about it so that's why, now come on sexy bum we have treasure to find"

We race up the mountain and look for an X marks the spot pirate situation.

Elizabeth "Dean look that tree, there is something tied around it I think that's what we need"

Dean:"come on then we will climb it together, I'll give you a boo....st

Dean POV: as that final word leaves my mouth there she is climbing the tree was she a monkey in another life?"

Dean: "hey monkey wait up"

Elizabeth: "come on my sexy Italian stallion"

Dean: "I don't think you are going to be able to make that you are going to have to jump"

Elizabeth: "I'll make you a deal I'll jump and get it, you catch me"

Dean: "deal"

I jump lower down so I'll be able to catch her I won't let her fall. I won't let anything bad happen to her.

Elizabeth: "ok baby I'm going to jump now, are you ready?"

Dean: "I'm ready, in your own time"

I look and see her jump, she has no fear, god I love this woman.

Elizabeth "baby baby I did it I've got it, I'm coming"

Dean:"I've got you, mi amore I've got you"

Elizabeth POV: as Dean catches me I feel complete I have come to the realisation over the weeks that I'm in love with him and that I want to tell him I'm just waiting for the right time.

Elizabeth: "you caught me"

Dean:"I always will" I lean in and kiss her gently, her lips taste like strawberries "come on you before I do something that wouldn't be fit a gentleman"

We make our way back down the mountain to the shore line and the boat is still there right time for the next piece of the puzzle. As we jump back in the water and make our way to the boat.
