Luc looked at the different dishes that Maria prepared and Luc was a bit excited at the prospect of trying new delicacies.  However Luc found Maria to be a little aggressive and flirtatious but she was one of Rain's best friends.   Luc looked over from time to time at Rain but she diverted her attention elsewhere and Luc was stuck with Maria and attraction yet Luc looked at her Husband who was looking at Rain with lustful eyes.  Luc shook his head.  

Then Rain wanted to go dancing as she challenged Luc to a dance contest wanting to see if he can dance or was the last time was just luck.  Luc then nodded and as he was about to place a wager Maria reached over and turned Luc head towards her.  He exhaled slowly and kept his anger in check.  He looked back at rain but she was talking to Gilbo and Luc wondered if Rain was avoiding him because she was upset with him or still reeling over the death of old friends and try to please these last few friends.   Luc danced with Maria and did everything but burn the place down to get a dance with Rain.   Rain gave Luc two dances and they danced the Tango as if they had been dancing with each other for a life time.  Then they danced a salsa and Rain was spun into his arms and she was looking into his eyes as their faces were only inches apart.

Then when they returned to the Villa Luc wanted to speak to Rain but Maria stopped him and as he turned to face Rain she ran up the her room and Luc was stuck.  He looked at Gilbo and then he agreed to have a nap cap.  He asked Gilbo was his wife always this playful or was she trying to distract him because Rain was nervous around Luc.  Gilbo shook his haed indicating that he didnt know.  Maria poured the drinks and Luc waited for Maria to take her seat and Luc shifted and sat across from her leaving Gilbo next to her.  Luc kept the conversation about Rain.  He learned how they meet, the things she did and was embrassed about and the things she loved to do and the types of men she Liked.  Before he went to bed he learned more about Rain through the eyes of her friends.  He was armed with knowing if she was upset or wanting to test him in the ways women do.  He locked his door and hoped that if anyone knocks on his door it would be Rain.  He stepped out on to the balcony to smoke a cigarette and look at the moonlight.  

I woke up to a light knocking on the door, then it slowly opened.  Rain, Rain do you want to go to the marketplace with me?”  it was Maria.  I sat up in the bed and told her to come on in.  She told me that she had gone to bed and left Luc-Dicaprio and Gilbo talking and drinking and believed they would be asleep for awhile.  I told her sure I would join her just needed to quickly shower and get dressed.  I remembered that the marketplace delivered fresh vegetables and fruits on Wednesday and Maria wasn’t want to get there early to have the best pick.

The bathroom was between the bedrooms so I tried to be as quiet as possible as to not wake up Luc.

I threw on a sundress, just brushed my hair back and threw on a straw hat and headed downstairs. Maria had made coffee and some fried plantains.  We ate then we left for the marketplace.  

On the drive Maria said “Either I am losing my touch or Luc just has eyes for you.   Or he has a very unique way of hiding his feelings. I mean really he didn’t acknowledge any of my advances.  Gilbo said I’m losing it.  Maria let out a loud laugh.  All he wanted was to know  was more about you.   Yeah here I am with all this in front of him,  she kind of cups her hands underneath her breast and did a little shake, and all he could think of was those little plums over there as she pointed to Rain’s breast.   Rain throws her the bird and they both just laughed.

We parked the car and as we walked through the marketplace picking out fruit and vegetables I explained to Maria that I didn’t know much about Luc’s personal life but I was sure he had someone or a few around. 

When we arrived back at the house Gilbo and Luc were sitting on the back patio enjoying the lunch that Gilbo had prepared.  Maria was going to give her charm another go because she immediately started the flirting with Luc again.  Gilbo and I could hardly hold our laughter.

Later that afternoon we drove back into town did some sightseeing and had a lovely dinner. Big Moe and his lady friend joined us for dinner.  We ordered my favorite dishes,  Fritanga  which is a variety of grilled meats, similar to a barbecue platter and Cazuela de Mariscos which is a rich, flavorful mixed seafood casserole. 

We came back to the house had a few drinks on the patio.  Big Moe saw how Maria was flirting with Luc in front of Gilbo and told me how he remembered when she did it to him.  He thought she was going to make Gilbo shoot him.  I just laughed.   We agreed we would change and go to the Salsa Club but wouldn’t stay to long for we had business to attend to early in the morning they head back to Miami.

Luc woke up early and he heard Marie talking to Rain but played like he was sleep so Maria would not knock on his door.  When he heard them drive off he quickly jumped into the shower and got dressed.   He saw Gilbo in his robe sitting in the kitchen so Luc spoke to him about a meeting he needed to attend for a friend of his.  Gilbo called Jevier to drive Luc into town.  Luc thanked Gilbo for his assistance  and then Luc got into the car and was taken to the edge of town.   They went to a small tavern and Luc told Jevier to wait outside for him.   Luc walked into the hold in the wall joint and saw a few soldiers sitting at a table and a couple of officers sitting at a larger table.  Luc walked over and heard a rough voice from behind that call out his name.  Luc turn and walked over and sat with the man.  Then 30 minutes later Luc was back in the car heading back to the Villa.

Luc walked around the house and saw Gilbo sunning on the back patio and walked out to join him.  They talked and laughed for a minute then Luc asked about his wife Maria and Gilbo started laughing as Luc was explaining that he was a little uncomfortable with her attraction to him, Luc was surprised at Gilbo response until Gilbo could not hold it in anymore and told Luc about the running joke that Marie and Rain play on the unexpected.  Luc was a bit upset when he thought that her flirting hurt Rain only to find out Rain was in on it and laughing at him.  He and Gilbo decided that it would be awesome if he accepted Maria advancements and pushed it even further.  

When the Ladies return Maria walked over and kissed her Husband and then smiled at Luc as Rain nodded to him and gave Maria a smirk.  Seeing that Luc allowed Maria to touch his shoulder then sit next to him.  Luc smiled and started flirting back an became a little aggressive to the point that Maria was a little off guard along with Rain.   Then they went out and eventually made it to a Salsa club.   Then Luc stood up and took Maria by the hand and started salsa dancing in a romantic way as Maria eyes got big and then he placed her in a dip as she was looking up into his eyes Luc leaned in to kiss her and she replied no, no and Gilbo and Luc started laughing as Luc released her and she fell to her butt.  Then Luc looked at Rain and waved his first finger left and right and said tist, tist, my little buttercup.  Rain know the jig was up and started laughing so did Marie.   

We all just laughed and laughed on the way home.  Maria had never been dropped on her butt before.  It had been another long day and we all were exhausted. luc-DiCaprio  and I talked briefly about the plans for in the morning and he helped me transfer the money out of my suitcase into another bag.  He confessed that he was contemplating about what to do about Maria’s advances until Gilbo told him that it was all a joke, that Maria messes around like that all the time.  He says he gets a kick out of it because his wife is a very beautiful woman.

The next morning the sun was just beginning to rise I woke up to the smell of bacon frying.  Luc and I were headed for the bathroom at the same time with towel in hand.  He said “ladies first” and I told him he was such a gentlemen. 

Gilbo told us that he had met with Big Moe that everything was packed up in the coffee containers and that Big Moe should be heading to the airport soon. 

We ate breakfast and had a few more laughs and it was time for us to leave.   Luc threw the bag with the money over his shoulder and we headed to the car.  I have Maria a big hug and kiss and so did Luc telling her he really enjoyed her hospitality and her little prank. 

On the way to Techo International Airport of all things we ran into a road block.  Gilbo told us not to worry that he would handle it.  We saw Gilbo flash some cash, paid them and they let us go through.

When we got to the hanger we saw big Moe standing near the airplane and Luc went to him with the money.  They stood there talking awhile and I felt something was wrong.  When he came back to the car he loaded up two guns and Gilbo did the same.   Luc just said we needed to wait a little while get the signal from Big Moe before we headed to the main terminal to catch our flight.   We sat and watch them load the containers on the plane while all the time Big Moe kept looking to see who was coming.  I was getting a little nervous because it was getting close to us missing our commercial flight back to Miami.   Shortly later Big Moe gave the signal to Luc everything was cool.

When we landed in Miami, Bentley and Apples were there waiting for us and he gave Luc the rest of the money.  Apples drove the truck and we got into the car with Bentley then headed to the cargo terminal.  Bentley showed Luc exactly where to go to meet Big Moe with the money and we stayed and watched the cargo being loaded on the truck.   A couple of minutes later Luc and Big Moe returned.  When the truck was loaded Big Moe hopped in with Apples while we followed behind.

When we arrived at the warehouse at the Black Oak Ranch JohnWalton was waiting for us.   The truck was unloaded and John checked out the merchandise and was very pleased.  He thanked us for a job well done and told Luc welcome aboard.

JohnWalton had his product and Rain and Big Moe were happy with the connection established.  Luc trip to south America was successful on both counts he made a contact with Major Desoto and help his Boss get his product into the states.   With John dealing in Cocaine and Luc in heroin Luc saw opportunity to grow both businesses however he would have to approach John in private.   Luc then said his goodnights it was short as Rain was giddy with the success and chatting with big Moe.  As Luc started walking away smiling as he walked away.   Apples was waiting in the car with Bobby and Whispers as Luc walked up to them.  Sliding into the car they drove to the hotel where they were staying for a few days.  Luc knew that he had lots of calls and catching up to do.  

Luc walked into his room and to his surprise Vivien was there.  She was his old friend that was working on becoming an actress.  She was sitting on his bed showing him a bit of leg as he started laughing she was a few years younger but he was opening doors for her and she was crushing on him.  Luc closed the door and asked how did she know where he was staying and then they both said Popeye.  They laughed then they hugged and she told him that she cooked him a dinner.  Fried chicken and mashed potatoes and peas and carrots homemade biscuits and apple juice.  He laughed as he knew that was from the restaurant a block away.  He exposed her when he asked her how was Sal the short order cook was doing, then she blushed.   Luc eat and joked with Vivien as the night fell quickly and she was getting antzy wanting to go dancing.  

Luc nodded and took her out to a local club he didnt take any of his security and as they danced Luc thought of Rain and there dance in South America.  The way her body moved it was provocative and yet classy.  The way she popped her hips to the beat of the music and spun around and intered her eight count to the music with out missing a beat.  The way she turned into him and the way they looked into each others eyes as they moved as one.  He was also smiling at the fact that he was strong enough to restist in kissing her when he would lean into her and with their lips only inches away from touching.  He remained professional so much that they had the crowd clapping at each turn and spin and the  way their bodies moved like fluid.  Vivien however was into him and a bird in the hand was better then one in the bush even if the one in the bush was what he wanted.
