Emily Peterson had earned this vacation. A single mother, she had finally gotten her only son through high school and now he was finally off to college. It had been a hard fight but she had won and done all she could for her son. It was up to him now.It wasn't always bad. She remembered a lot of good times that they had shared. When her husband James was around, there was a lot of joy and good times in the house. James was one of those few precious men who was both a good father and a good husband. He provided well for the family and he took care of her needs as well.But when Timothy their son was only thirteen*years old, James was killed by a drunk driver on his way home from work, leaving her to finish raising him alone. Emily never remarried?there just was no one who could possibly replace her James.Tim was a good son and he could have very easily slipped off the path and wound up like a lot of his classmates; smoking, drinking, and getting into all sorts of trouble. But he didn't. He somehow sensed that his mother depended on him to toe the line and he did, excelling in school and getting top marks.His guidance counselor in high school was a very kind man and sort of took Tim under his wing, helping him both as a counselor at school and as a sort of father figure when he needed a man to talk to.His counselor was also very good at writing grants and applying for scholarships and with Tim's good grades, he was able to finagle a full ride for him in college, a full scholarship. Which meant the money that Emily had set aside from James insurance and the little she was able to add from her work was not needed for his education after all.So once he was set up at the college he chose, and she knew he would be all right there, she decided it was time to reward her for her efforts as well.She went down to the travel agent one fall day after coming back from the college that weekend and she sat down with an agent to plan a trip to some warm climate. She'd had enough of Buffalo's cold winters and she decided she would store up some sunshine to make it through the coming one.The agent talked about Hawaii and about some vacation spot in Mexico but she wanted to go someplace a little less crowded and commercialized. Then she saw a poster about travel to the Bahamas and she knew that was the place for her.With the agent's help, she planned out a nice seven-day/six-night trip to Paradise Island, the main vacation spot in the small island nation. She would fly out of Buffalo to Charlotte, NC, where there was an hour and a half layover until she could continue her flight to Nassau. From there, it was a short cab ride to her hotel. Her flight would leave at 8:15 am and she would arrive in sunny Nassau at 1:50 pm.Emily told her boss that she would like the time off and her boss agreed. So right after work on the day before her trip, Emily began packing. During the previous week, she had made the other necessary arrangements, having a friend watch the house, shopping for the trip, and getting the suitcases out of the attic.One of the things she wanted to get was a new swimsuit. She hadn't had a new one in a long time. There wasn't much call for beachwear in Buffalo! So she wanted to get one for the trip. She took June, a galpal with her to shop for one, wanting another opinion on how she looked."What do you think of this one, June?" Emily asked, holding up a dark blue, one-piece number."That's okay, but it's pretty conservative. This is your vacation hon, you need to escort beylikdüzü loosen up and let yourself have fun!" June said.They looked some more and then June squealed "I found it! The perfect suit for you!" She held up a silver metallic, two-piece bikini."June, are you nuts?" Emily said, shocked. "I'm a thirty-eight-year-old mother! I have no business even looking at something so skimpy!""Posh! Honey, you have the body any twenty-five-year-old would like to have! Look at yourself sweetie?you are a hottie!" June said. And she was right, Emily had managed to take very good care of herself.At five foot six inches tall with wavy reddish-brown hair down to the bottom of her shoulder blades and a very tempting 32D-25-35 figure, Emily was truly a knockout. And even though she was a thirty-eight-year-old mother of a now-college son, when she entered a room, she still got plenty of admiration from the men in the room!"Besides," June continued, "You are going to the Bahamas and no one there knows you. This is your chance to be who you want to be. Not some middle-aged store manager, not a single mother with a son in college."Dammit, girl show the world you still have it! Emily honey, James has been gone for what five*years now? You need to get back into the game girl. I know you loved James and I know he loved you. But he would want you to enjoy your life, not sit and pine away for him."Also, Tim is grown now, and you did amazing with him. It's time you started living for you! I'm not saying go out and marry the first guy you come across, but you can go out and have a good time. And hey, if the situation arises, maybe that fun can extend into something else."You will always love James, no one doubts that for a minute. But if the situation was turned around, wouldn't you want him to have a good life? Or would you rather he just crawl in bed and wait for death to come to take him? Sweetheart, that's no way to live.""I-I don't know June," Emily said. June made a lot of sense and she knew June meant well. But still?"Look, Em, you are going to the Bahama's, where whatever you do there will never get back to Buffalo, and where you can be the hot babe you used to fancy yourself as. The one you still are. So you get this damn bikini and when you get to the island and you are laying on that warm sandy beach, you show the guys there that you can rock it!" June said firmly."Okay, I'll tell you what. I will go try this on and if it isn't obscenely small, I will get it. Deal?" Emily said. She took the skimpy silver bikini into the back where the dressing rooms were with June right behind her. A couple of minutes later she came back out wearing the swimsuit."Oh my God, Emily! Holy shit girlfriend!" She grabbed her by the upper arm and dragged Emily in front of a full-length mirror. "Look at yourself, honey! Look at yourself!"Emily looked at the woman in the mirror. If she hadn't seen her own face in the mirror, she would swear it was someone else. But no, that hot body belonged to her! "Oh my!" Emily said."Yeah, ?Oh my!' Did I tell you or what? Now you GOT to get that swimsuit!" June said."Okay, Okay!" she giggled. She went back into the dressing room, got dressed in her clothes again and the pair took the garment up to the register so Emily could buy it.The day of her vacation came and Emily was up long before she needed to be. Actually, she didn't sleep the night before, she was so excited about her upcoming trip. She was also a bit nervous... she had only escort akbatı been on a plane once before when she was little and this was a big trip for her, the first time she had flown by herself.But the flight was on time and uneventful and before she knew it she was sitting in the Charlotte airport. She found her gate in the strange airport after asking for directions and she made it in plenty of time. Then she began the second leg of her trip. It too was uneventful and on both planes, it wasn't overly crowded."Ladies and Gentlemen, We will be arriving in Nassau in a few minutes. Please place your seats and tray tables in their full upright position in preparation for landing," the pilot said over the in-flight speaker system. Excited, Emily looked out the window and saw the beautiful islands of the Bahamas, the deep blue of the sea, and the sparkling white sand beaches.Oh this is going to be such a wonderful vacation!*she thought to herself. If she only knew what fate had in store for her?The plane landed smoothly and she disembarked the plane. Making her way through the medium-sized airport, she found the baggage claim area and retrieved her bags. One more challenge bested. She had managed to arrive in Nassau intact, on time, and with all her luggage?she was on a roll! She hailed a local cab and 30 minutes later she was checking into her hotel.She got a room on the fourth floor which was good; it was high enough to keep people from peeking into the window or hearing too much street noise and still close enough to get outside and to the beach easily.The sliding glass doors in her room led to a small balcony which had a beautiful view of the beach and the ocean beyond. Her room was nice, it wasn't a big expensive suite, but it was still very nice, with twin double beds and a large flat-screen TV.Emily unpacked her things and settled into her room. She was a little tired, not sleeping the previous night and all the excitement of the day, so she decided to take a short nap before dinner. She laid down in bed luxuriating in the soft bed, the clean crisp sheets and the sound of the outdoors coming through the partially open sliding glass door.After a much-needed nap and a wonderful dinner at the hotel restaurant, Emily went back to her room. She poured over the dozens of brochures she had amassed for her trip. She began picking what she wanted to do and quickly realized she wanted to do all of them."How am I ever going to decide what to do?" she asked herself out loud. "Thank goodness I didn't go to Hawaii after all?with all the tourist and historical things to see there, I wouldn't have time for anything!" she thought. At least here she could get a good sampling of activities and everything was close by.The next day she got up early and had a quick breakfast before heading out for a day's adventures. Emily normally ate a small breakfast anyway so this wasn't much different, except that she didn't have to fix it and she had a much better view!She had decided to spend the morning just looking around and taking some pictures. She had picked up a cheap digital camera before she left home so she could take a lot of pictures (June had told her she better come back with tons of pictures so she could show her all that she saw on her trip!)Emily rented a car and began her tour of the island. She took pictures of everything she thought June would want to see, all the escort beylikdüzü sights and even some of the people, both men and women. But seeing all the beautiful tanned bodies only reminded her of her pale Buffalo complexion. Emily needed to get some sun! So she returned to the hotel with that idea in mind.Emily had heard all kinds of horror stories about those tanning booths so she had shied away from using them to get a "base" tan, wanting instead to get the real thing under conditions she could control more. Besides, it was time to try out that swimsuit and see if June had been right!So she got a towel from the hotel room, her SPF30 sunscreen so she wouldn't burn and taking a deep breath, she left her hotel room. Rather than take the elevator to the lobby, she decided to go down the stairs to a side door that was closer to the beach than the main lobby. Besides, there were fewer people that way!But June would prove right after all. As soon as Emily emerged from the hotel room and started across the street to the beach, she began getting admiring looks from the men she passed. A couple of cars honked at her and some younger guys whistled and yelled their approval at her. All the attention began working on her ego and she smiled.Maybe June was right, maybe I'm not the tired old mother I thought of myself as!*she thought to herself. The ego boost was just what she needed and she began to be more comfortable in the shiny, skimpy garment.Emily found a nice spot on the beach away from a lot of people. There were still a few people around here and there but the bulk of the vacationers were further away. This would do nicely. She laid her towel out and took her place on the warm Carribean sand.The warm sand and sun felt wonderful and Emily could tell almost immediately she would have to be very careful; it would be very easy to fall asleep right here and if she did it would NOT be a pleasant vacation after all! Emily wasn't so fair-skinned that she burned easily, but she wasn't used to the strong sun of this part of the world.After a bit of laying on her back, she wanted to get some sun on the other side so she sat up. Looking to her left she saw a woman laying on her stomach as well but there was something off? wait, she had no top on! Emily smiled to herselfIt must be nice to be so free-spirited.*she thought.But then June's words in the swimsuit boutique came back to her: "Look, Em, you are going to a place where no one knows you, where whatever you do there it will never get back to Buffalo, and where you can be the hot babe you used to fancy yourself as. The one you still are." June had said.She looked around; there was no one really close to her, the girl sunning herself topless was her closest "neighbor". And she wasn't close to the access path to the street, so no one really would see her easily. She thought about it for a moment, and with a devilish grin she untied the back of her top and slipped it off over her head, laying down quickly on the towel.The sun felt just as wonderful on her back and she lazed around on the towel for a while, mentally kicking herself for taking so long to do this. I should have taken this trip a long time ago. she thought.Emily was soaking up the sun and totally relaxed, more relaxed than she had been in a long time. All of a sudden a large seagull swooped down and snatched up the silver bikini top she had tossed to her side! Emily screeched when she saw what was happening, causing the bird to fly away with its treasure.Emily instantly sat up, grabbing her towel and wrapped it around her, and ran back to the safety of the hotel. She ran into the side door she came out of and up the stairs, praying that she wouldn't run into anyone until she was back in her room.
