Me-Me and Lia join Dub and me at the table.
Melisa: *to Kai* We have some good news to share!
Kai: What’s up?
Jamelia: Stephan and I are getting married.
Kai: So, my potential climbing partner will be joining the family. Nice one, Lia!
Jamelia: I’m obviously not marrying him for you.
Kai: Yeah, but I still get some benefits. Just don’t mess this up. He’s a good guy.
Lia chuckles and begins to eat.
Lia turns to Dub.
Jamelia: Can I count on you to be a ring bearer at my wedding?
Wade: Ring bearer? What’s that?
Jamelia: The person who carries the ring and makes sure not to lose it.
Wade: I can do that!
Melisa: Have you set a date yet?
Jamelia: Yes, we’re planning to marry on the last day of summer – here in Tartosa.
Melisa: Nice!
Dub gets bored with the whole conversation and leaves to go and play with Mase. I pull out my phone in an attempt to tease Lia.
Kai: Now that you’ve set that date – can I call up my future brother-in-law and plan our first climbing session?
Jamelia: You can do what you want, as long as your climbing sessions don’t interfere with our wedding and honeymoon plans.
Kai: They won’t, but don’t honeymoon too long. We need to be ready to climb Mt. Komo by the end of winter.
Jamelia: *chuckles* Whatever, Kai!
I leave Lia and Me-Me alone for a bit to catch up and finish discussing wedding plans.
Afterward, we’re back in the water to enjoy some last moments at the beach.
Meanwhile, Dub and Mase have found their own ways to enjoy these final moments of enjoyment before it’s time to leave.
I missed my chance to sunbathe now that the sun is going down – but that doesn’t mean I can’t just relax. So, I lie down on a nearby towel while Mase continues to play in the sand.
I don’t get to relax for long before Dub calls me.
Wade: Daddy, I found a soccer ball. Let’s play!
I’m back up on my feet, teaching Dub how to dribble a soccer ball. But eventually, it’s time to go. So we pack everything up and make our way to the rental.
Wade: I did it, daddy! I swam in the ocean.
Kai: I saw you, but I knew you could do it.
Wade: Soon, I’ll be able to swim as good as you.
Kai: I have no doubt, but to get there – you need to get some rest. It’s time for bed.
Wade: Okay, daddy.
Dub puts on his pajamas and climbs into bed. After kissing him on the forehead, I say goodnight.
I go into our bedroom, but not to sleep. Instead, I take a quick shower, and while still undressed – I relax on the bed and wait for Me-Me to finish putting Mase to bed. I have a big surprise for her when she joins me.
As I suspected, Me-Me is shocked to see me relaxing on the bed in the buff.
Melisa: Kai! What are you doing?
Kai: If that’s not obvious, I’m doing something wrong. *pats the empty spot next to me* Why don’t you come on over ~
Melisa: But I’m all grimy from being at the beach all day.
Kai: A little grime never hurt anybody.
Me-Me giggles but still makes me wait while she showers and prepares to join me for round two of what we started last night.
