back with a tiny grill in the center.
     
      They sit on either side of each other as the hostess lights the grill and hands them menus.
     
      Kurt nods, smirking at the woman, gazing upon her backside, her pants tight and squeezing her curves, as she turns around to walk away.
     
    “Excuse me.” Robin hisses under her breath at him as she swiftly kicks her foot out under the table, connecting the hard toe of her shoe with the front of his shin.
     
    “What the fuck was that for?” Kurtis asks, leaning down to rub the tips of his fingers over his aching leg.
     
    “We’re only here for a few days.” She says, folding her hands over her chest. “Can you please hold off on flirting until we get back?”
     
    “I wasn’t flirting.” He says, his eyebrows furrowing as he leans back in his seat before picking up a menu.
     
    “Just keep your eyes to yourself.” Robin says.
     
    “How about you mind your own business, Robin.” He mutters under his breath. “You’re only here for the cash, so just do your job.”
     
      She huffs, sliding herself off of her chair as she gets up from the table.
     
    “I’m not going to put up with this.” She says to him, turning around to walk away.
     
      She stops as he grabs her by the wrist, pulling her back towards the table.
     
    “Let go of me.” She says, pulling her arm away.
     
    “Please.” He says, rubbing the tips of his fingers over his temples. “Look, I’m sorry.” He says, sighing softly out of his nose. “I just want this to be a good vacation.”
     
    “Then cut the shit, Kurtis.” She says, sitting back down at the table across from him. “I’m not doing this for my sake.”
     
    “It’s not for my sake, either.” He whispers, picking the menu back up and flipping through the laminated pages.
     
      Robin sits quietly as he orders them some fresh meat to cook on the grill, watching out of the corner of her eye as Kurtis hands off the menus before sighing out of his nose and letting out a soft chuckle.
     
    “Sorry for getting you wet earlier.” He says, smirking as he picks up his water glass before bringing it up to his lips to sip. “It wasn’t my idea.”
     
    “Yeah, I’m sure it wasn’t.” She giggles as she runs her hands through her hair.
     
    “I swear.” He says, his eyes twinkling under the dim light as he smiles brightly.
     
    “I’m just sorry I didn’t get you back.” She says, watching as a waiter walks towards them, a tray of raw meats in hand.
     
    “Hey, let’s get some wine.” Kurtis says, picking up the drink menu as the man places the dishes around the table.

Chapter 13
     
     
    “I’ve never seen so many stars.” Robin says, looking up into the dark, cloudless sky at the twinkling stars, too numerous to count as they walk along the boardwalk, waves from the tide splashing up against the sand.
     
    “Yeah, we really don’t get to see this too much with all the lights of the city…” He says, folding his arms over his chest as he tilts his head up to gaze with her.
     
    “I wish there was somewhere to sit.” She whispers to herself, looking out over the rocky beach.
     
    “Come with me.” Kurtis says, grabbing her hand and pulling her off the boardwalk as he steps onto the sand.
     
      She giggles, following him, each foot step sinking into the sand as he leads her.
     
    “There’s some rocks out there.” He says, pointing out into the water just off the shore. “What do you say we check it out?”
     
    “Our feet will get wet!” She says, stopping and shaking her head as Kurtis takes a few more steps forward.
     
      She watches him get down to the ground, swinging his legs out in front of him before slipping off his shoes.
     
    “What are you doing?” She asks, covering her mouth as she looks around the deserted beach before watching him pull off his socks. “Kurt!”
     
    “Come on!” He says, standing up again before bending over and rolling up his pant legs. “Take your
