fluttering. “You waited for me to get breakfast?”
     
    “Of course.” He says, reaching his hand out before winking at her. “It would be rude to eat without my wife.”

Chapter 11
     
     
      Robin stretches her legs out, pointing her toes towards the pool as she lays back in the lounge chair, the hot sun warming her skin and reflecting off of her dark sunglasses.
     
      She reaches down to her canvas bag laying on the pool deck beside her, before pulling out a tube of sun tan lotion. She flips the lid, squeezing a dollop into her hand before rubbing it over her stomach, careful not to leave any stains on the strings holding her bikini bottoms up.
     
    “If only someone would do my back…” She whispers to herself as she closes her eyes and lets a deep sigh out of her nose as she lazily drops the tube of lotion onto her bag.
     
      After being so concerned with being left behind earlier in the day, there’s nothing she’d rather do than just lay here by herself for a little while. As it turns out, a family reunion means family activities. Family activities for a family she’s not even a real part of. Why would she want to be included in that?
     
      So after lunch, she finally said sayonara , got on her swim suit and came down to sit by the pool in peace and quiet.
     
      Robin lazily looks over to the little table beside her before groaning as she reaches up for her drink.
     
      She pulls the little orange umbrella out of it, biting into the cherry and sliding it off the stem before tossing it back onto to the tray as she chews it up.
     
      She wraps her tongue around the straw, pulling it into her mouth before sucking and moaning in delight as the refreshing island-fruit juices hit her tongue.
     
      Robin smiles to herself as she places the tall glass back on the table before sinking back into her chair and pulling her hat down over her face before closing her eyes and letting herself drift off.
     
      Nothing could be better.
     
    “Do you think she’s sleeping, uncle Kurt?” Her ears perk up as she hears the voice of a small boy.
     
    “I don’t know.” She hears Kurtis say, his voice getting closer as she listens to the soft footsteps of their bare feet on the pool deck. “Why don’t you poke her and find out.”
     
      Robin sits up, lifting her hat and pulling off her sunglasses before shaking her head.
     
    “No, no one’s going to poke anyone here!” She says, squinting her eyes as she looks up at Kurtis.
     
    “Guess she’s awake after all!” He says, smirking at her as he rests his hand on his little nephew’s shoulder.
     
      She watches as the little boy giggles before running towards the pool.
 
    “Hey! Slow it down!” Kurt shouts after him, watching as he jumps into the water before leaning down beside Robin.
     
    “So…” He says, tilting his head. “How’s the afternoon treating you?”
     
    “The sun is out, I have my drink.” She says, pointing up to the table above her shoulder. “Couldn’t be better.”
     
    “Are you coming swimming?” He asks, pointing towards the pool.
     
    “No way.” She says, sinking back down into her chair, her dark glasses covering her eyes. “You will never get me out of this chair.”
     
    “Suit yourself.” He says, standing up. “You’re going to miss out on all the fun.”
     
    “Yeah… sure…” Robin snorts to herself, watching out of the corner of her eyes as Kurtis pulls his shirt over his head before pushing his lounge pants over his hips and down his muscular thighs.
     
      She watches, her hand slowly fanning her face, as his muscles contract as he walks towards the pool before jumping and splashing water all over the deck.
     
    “What is that fool doing…” She whispers to herself, slowly running the side of her bottom lip between her teeth as he watches him pick up his nephew and toss him across the pool, his biceps bulging as he lifts the child into the air.
     
      Robin always guessed that
