 --LONDON,PARIS..WOW.. i'm so lucky..who can i take with me? i'll decide on

 Leslie sees Veronica talking to someone,but from where she is standing she
 
 cannot see who the person is.she hands over her ticket stub and fills in the
 
 necessary information on the forms provided.
 
 while she is  walking back towards Veronica some one grabs her by the
 
 hand.It's her dance partner who,now, seems much more interested in her.she's
 
 a winner.
 
 
 
 the music is blasting from the speakers...the crowd is shouting.
 
 
 
 THROW  YOUR HANDS IN DE AIR
 
 LET THE DJ SEE YOU
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Duawee is still missing.no where to be found.A SURPRISE! Veronica tries to
 
 fit the puzzle.How? Why? Where? so many questions.
 
 Seated across from her is the person,whom she least expected to see.in her
 
 head questions abound~~~~ how could this be?  why now? where's Duawee?  why
 
 is he staying away so long?
 
 
 
 Veronica; how are you? have you seen Duawee?
 
 
 
 NO...i went up on the upper deck and was talking to some of my friends,but i
 
 haven't seen him..should i go look for him for you?
 
 
 
 Veronica; no...i'm sure he'll be back soon..he knows where i am.
 
 
 
 But you don't know where he is? don't you feel vunerable with all these
 
 pretty,lonely women running about on the boat..they could snatch him up
 
 tonight and then you'd become a pretty,lonely woman.
 
 
 
 
 
 Veronica; I have confidence in our relationship.he loves me and I love him
 
 and nothing  nor nobody is going to break us up...if and   when it does
 
 happen then it would be of it's own accord..you know  the distance between
 
 us..two  different countries,different cultures  loneliness and fustration
 
 in our relationship,as time goes by.. the impracticality of us being
 
 together on certain nights could bring about its failure.. but for now, i'm
 
 enjoying having him in my life..he's a wonderful person and  i know many a
 
 woman who like to be his.. if he tells me,one day,to let go.I will...but i
 
 may not let him go..I know when I'm in love and when love's in me...when I
 
 feel it running through my body..I cherish it with every breath I take,
 
 ...each and everyday..soon I'll be gone,but I do know that when I leave I'll
 
 be taking his heart with me..and I'll be leaving my heart with him.Together
 
 we'll wait on the future.What about your love life? Isn't there no one in
 
 you life?...MS WENDY.
 
 
 
 
 
 WENDY; I don't need a man life right now.I'm re-designing my life at the
 
 moment and a man isn't part of the furniture,but you did make a valid point
 
 earlier when you said you'll hold onto Duawee's love,even after he tells you
 
 to let go...well I feel the same way about him. you see I know him better
 
 than most.I was with him when his greatest pain  devoured him.His mother's
 
 death..he cried  all day and I was there to comfort him, when his world fell
 
 apart the day of the funeral. I brushed away his tears..held his hands,when
 
 he felt like falling...I was the one with the KISS,when his lips trembled
 
 with emotions and tears were falling .After everyone had left and he laid on
 
 the bed..I laid there, breathing with him. and that night I fell into him.We
 
 fell asleep in our clothes,as we told stories and laugh. In the  morning..I
 
 made breakfast,just like you were,the morning i came over to the house.Later
 
 we laughed at a story he related from his younger days..he told me the last
 
 time he had breakfast in bed was when he was eight years and sick with the
 
 flu,his mother had brought him breakfast and she had told him
 
 stories..I,also,told him a story that morning.A story of him and I and what
 
 our future would be like..We,then,rested our dreams on two girls and one
 
 boy.Later we practised at fulfilling part of that dream.We made love...
 
 The lovemaking ..oh..OHHH..uuuehsssh.. it had no description.. Veronica..
 
 you know after a man has made love to you and you feel like you are brand
 
 new and you just want to melt into his arms and remain there forever. You
 
 know the kind of  good lovemaking you run out and tell all your girlfriends
 
 about...well this lovemaking had no description and to this day,I've never
 
 been able to describe it. It's the kind of lovemaking which leaves you wet
 
 all day,wanting to be with him.The kind of lovemaking which makes you want
 
 to run outside,in the rain.the lovemaking,which stays with you forever,even
 
 though the lovemaker has gone.You know what I mean, don't you?
 
 
 
 Veronica is stuck between shouting and the calm of her demeanour.She had
 
 never had that kind of love-making,not yet anyway.She searches Wendy's eyes
 
 for a hint of desperation,for a hint of evil intent.They showed none and her
 
 seriousness lent credence to her words.She is telling  the truth.Her eyes
 
 showed it.Wendy was still holding onto  Duawee's love.
 
 
 
 
 
 Veronica: Well..well that's all in the past..there's the future and I know
 
 his future lies with me..
 
 
 
 Wendy; We'll see..you have to leave,but I'll remain here.The days here are
 
 long, but..the nights are even longer...and I only need one night..just one
 
 night,with him..
 
 
 
 
 
 Veronica; One  night for what?..a one night stand? Do you really think he'll
 
 fall back in love with you?.I don't know what you did to him,but I'm sure
 
 he's gotten over it and he's moving on.
 
 
 
 
 
 Wendy: We'll see..look I thought that we could be friends after our last
 
 confrontation.I found you to be a very pleasant person  and Duawee deserves
 
 a woman like you,but lately, I find my thoughts are switching to him  and
 
 how we used to be,my nights are lonely and cold..I miss him so much..I ..I
 
 want him so bad..my body aches for him..like never before..I've no one to
 
 hold me.. to kiss me,nightly, to wake me in  the mornings ..you have all of
 
 that...for now.This will seem all like a wonderful dream,but when you get
 
 back to America you will wake up and face reality..this isn't a scene from
 
 HOW STELLA GOT HER GROOVE BACK..no girl.I'll  fight for my man..all in all
 
 and to end our conversation.I want you to know I STILL LOVE HIM.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Veronica's eyes blinks away a hurt from the last four words.Her mind
 
 scrambles for a reply,which makes her head hurt and her eyes fill with
 
 water.She surpresses its volume from Wendy.
 
 In her head,her pride surfaces ~~~~she'll never see my tears..no not from
 
 these eyes...never will I let her see me cry.~~~
 
 she composes herself and her anger subsides.
 
 
 
 Veronica:You..you love him,but does he love you? Duawee and I have grown
 
 beyond friendship ..we love each other and for your information I...I..
 
 don't want my groove back..how can I want something which I've never lost? I
 
 must admit that the first time I saw you I was jealous,but that was in the
 
 beginning..now I'm much more confident in our relationship and only the
 
 future knows for sure how all this will work out ..we'll see..Would you like
 
 a drink?
 
 
 
 
 
 Wendy: No.i'm going to dance my night away.see you.
 
 
 
 Veronica watches her skip between chairs and tables and greet a man  with a
 
 long hug.The hug brings two dancing bodies together.Slow-jam
 
 music.Veronica's body needs a jam.Looking around for Duawee, a strong
 
 feeling of Deja Vu runs through her mind.she remembers the night at the
 
 Warehouse.^^the same way she looked for him then,she is looking for him
 
 now.So alone.
 
 A threat of words has brought a sense of insecurity and she feels a need for
 
 his arms,for  reassurance .She needs a SURGE OF LOVE,because she loves
 
 him..no one will take him away ...not now...not ever..not without a
 
 fight..not a physical fight,but a fight nonetheless..she will love him until
 
 he says no more,but even then....it will become a slow process.She questions
 
 herself.
 
 
 
 ~~Why do I feel this way towards Duawee? Is it the feelings he leaves with
 
 me,when i'm alone or is this just another love thing in paradise? How many
 
 other women has he romanced on the beach? where is he? I need to find
 
 him,but this boat is so large,we might miss seeing each other.If I go on the
 
 upper deck he might be downstairs...ohhhhh I can't wait much longer.Wendy is
 
 here circling like the shark she has become and I'll not standby and watch
 
 my baby get bitten by her again..no way.Our love is in danger and it's up to
 
 me to save it and save it I will,even if it makes me stay here for another
 
 month.Hurry Duawee..I need you,now,like never before~~~
 
 
 
 
 
 As if someone was listening and granted her her wish,Duawee appears, his
 
 shirt wet with persperation and with a smile ready to please.He looks guilty
 
 of a crime.She sees it in his eyes.One consolation it was not with Wendy.He
 
 open his arms for a strong hug.His nibble on her ear does not generate a
 
 reaction .Veronica needs answers.Her disappointment swims around inside of
 
 her and her anger builds again.
 
 
 
 Veronica: Where've you been so long? I've been waiting here,for over an
 
 hour..and ..and i..
 
 
 
 Duawee: Oh baby..oh babyyyy... did you miss me? sssschhhsss.come here let me
 
 kiss your lips?
 
 
 
 The kiss tries to be strong,but Veronica's effort is weak.She needs answers
 
 and Duawee looks at her,puzzled.
 
 
 
 Veronica: Someone's been looking for you..betcha you cannot guess who?
 
 
 
 Duawee:Brian?
 
 
 
 Veronica: No...female
 
 
 
 Duawee; Female huh? let's see. Rose?
 
 
 
 Veronica: No..wrong.
 
 
 
 
 
 Duawee; I give up..whoever it was seems to have made you quite jealous,
 
 because you're acting quite strange..
 
 
 
 
 
 Veronica; It's your old girlfriend Wendy and she's dancing right over there.
 
 
 
 Duawee; Stop playing...remember she had a ticket for the Bajan Queen and we
 
 saw her walk over to that boat.you're just mad,because i left you alone,for
 
 awhile.Now come here and let me kiss those lips again.
 
 
 
 Veronica: Then who is that over there? The woman dancing with the man in the
 
 black shirt..can you see her?
 
 
 
 
 
 Duawee's eyes follow the pointing finger and his eyes find Wendy
 
 laughing,her head falling backwards,her body grooving to the music. Duawee's
 
 confused and wonders silently_~~~~how could that be? i saw her going towards
 
 the Bajan Queen and she had a ticket for that boat..i...i.~~
 
 
 
 He breaks off his thoughts and turns towards Veronica.He is serious and
 
 apologetic.
 
 
 
 Duawee: What did she say to you that has made you so upset? i felt it in the
 
 way you kiss.Look,i'm sorry for leaving you so long,but i got into an silly
 
 discussions about cars,with some guys i've not seen for awhile..there's a
 
 Bushy Park Revival Day tomorrow and we were arguing about who was the best
 
 driver to have ever driven on the race track. We laughed at everyone's
 
 choice,because no one could explain why they thought their choice was the
 
 best.I then danced with a couple of friends from work,but i'm back now,so
 
 could you please turn on that sweet smile of yours and brighten up our
 
 evening.
 
 
 
 
 
 Veronica; Ok. i'm just mad at myself for letting her make me mad..D...I love
 
 you .
 
 
 
 With those three words a kiss reaches his lips,its strength full of
 
 purpose.She holds him,tightly,around the waist,closes her eyes and rubs her
 
 body againgst his. A crowd of eyes notices and sighs.The sighing of air
 
 pushes them closer and closer.
 
 A kiss strong.
 
 A kiss to rid a frown.
 
 A kiss long.
 
 A REAL MEANINGFUL KISS.
 
 A kiss,in the night,on a boat,in front of strangers,begs love to stay.
 
 The kiss ends and they look at each other.Love's aglow inside.
 
 HE wants HER to want HIM to *@%$%*,but time gets lost in the wind,so they
 
 kiss again.A shorter kiss,but with the same intent.They need the fruitless
 
 nights of lovemaking.They can feel it.They can smell it.They need
 
 lovemaking.In a few hours an aeroplane(airplane) will come and take one love
 
 away,up,uP,UP, into the air,through the clouds,over land and sea,leaving the
 
 other love on the ground,to weep,to be alone,to yearn for his love's
 
 return.In a few hours it will all change.
 
 
 
 Duawee: Do you want to dance?
 
 
 
 Veronica: Yes
 
 
 
 
 
 Duawee whispers ~~I looove you.Veronica squeezes his hands and they walk
 
 into the slow jam music and start their dance.A dance ritual full of
 
 meaning.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 SONG--FOUR DAYS LONELY-written by DENNIS YOUNG-CC-mly-1999,performed by
 
 CAROL GEORGE.
 
 
 
 one day of love
 
 two days of lovemaking
 
 three days of waiting
 
 four days --four days lonely
 
 
 
 
 
 no one ever told me love would be like this
 
 how it'll you happy sometimes,then fill you with sadness
 
 it'll stay away for a long time
 
 a very long time
 
 then one day,,,one day
 
 it'll come back again
 
 remove your pain
 
 kiss you goodnight
 
 and then drive you insane
 
 coz ,,,it's gone missing again
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 one day of love
 
 two days of lovemaking
 
 three days of waiting
 
 four days lonely
 
 four days lonely
 
 writing letters, never gonna post them
 
 crying my eyes out, cannot even stop them
 
 four days lonely
 
 four days lonely
 
 and soon it'll be tomorrow
 
 and i'll be starting over
 
 four days lonely
 
 four days lonely
 
 
 
 
 
 woke up this morning
 
 sunlight shining through my window
 
 laid another hour in bed,thinking
 
 of what to do today
 
 how to begin my day
 
 and how will it end?
 
 will i survive the loneliness
 
 and find happiness
 
 being by myself
 
 or will i sit and cry over you
 
 tell myself to die for you
 
 pray for you
 
 to come back to me
 
 and share your love.
 
 
 
 
 
 one day of love
 
 two days of lovemaking
 
 three days of waiting
 
 four days lonely....
 
 
 
 
 
 spent dreams on my pillow
 
 crying like a weeping willow
 
 leaving the bed soaking
 
 dripping wet
 
 from nights with you, on my mind
 
 from nights with you, on my mind
 
 soaking,dripping wet
 
 from nights with you, on my mind
 
 on my mind
 
 i'm a castaway on a deserted island
 
 and there's no one else around
 
 but the sea and the breeze
 
 
 
 one day i found your footsteps
 
 and i traced them to your cabin
 
 i found it empty
 
 and i go in
 
 and wait
 
 in your bed,
 
 like Goldilocks,sleeping
 
 waiting for the three bears
 
 soon,you found me sleeping
 
 and lay beside me
 
 kissed me softly
 
 upon my cheek
 
 i awoke
 
 and we made the bed creak
 
 
 
 
 
 forget about
 
 one day of love
 
 two days of lovemaking
 
 forget about waiting three days
 
 i want four days of lonely
 
 lifted from me,by you
 
 so love me,like there's no tomorrow
 
 make me cry when it's almost over
 
 play with me undercover
 
 love me like there's no tomorrow
 
 make me beg
 
 for your power
 
 over and over and over again
 
 let me, let me, let me
 
 have.. another
 
 
 
 four days lonely
 
 (repeat and fade)
 
 
 
 
 
 Soon they'll both be lonely.It's friday night.Two night before sunday
 
 morning comes and takes Veronica away,leaving Duawee by himself again,in a
 
 house,lonely again.tonight..tonight they have to feed the fire burning
 
 within them.They look at each other and it becomes real,that urgent feeling
 
 to satisfy,a growth of lust pushing its way to their eyes and supression
 
 became a biting of tongue and silly grins..~tonight..they must.~
 
 
 
 
 
 They continue dancing until a tap on Duawee's shoulder made Veronica's eyes
 
 squint and an evil thought enters her mind.It's Wendy.Duawee turns around
 
 and smiles.Wendy looks at Veronica and asks -CAN I CUT IN? Veronica thinks
 
 about the question and thinks about the question and thinks about the
 
 question.NOOOOOO.I'm sorry,but this is our song and no one dances this like
 
 us..
 
 A reggae song;
 
 Dennis Brown singing- HOW COULD I LEAVE?
 
 
 
 (*if any of you have this song,please take it out and play it now*)
 
 
 
 the dub version follows..a NINEY THE OBSERVER mix..the crash of drums
 
 --reverb..base line-wicked.. echoing sound.
 
 
 
 Duawee closes his eyes,squeezes Veronica around the waist and enters the
 
 TWELVE CHAMBER OF RUB-UH-DUB.He moves his body around the bass lines..rising
 
 up and down at the cresending sound,hardly moving. Veronica learns
 
 quickly.Her arms are folded around his shoulders,her fingers rubbing his
 
 neck.The love flowing through their bodies cries out for forgiveness.They
 
 hold each other soclose no one else can enter.Wendy walks away feeling
 
 stupid for interrupting and not being satisfied from her own taunt.Veronica
 
 sees her walking away and a wry smile shows on her face.Her heart satisfied
 
 .Another song.
 
 
 
 ~No Wendy.Duawee is mine~.Her head is leaning on his chest.Another finger
 
 finds its way underneath his shirt and up his back PLAYING. Rubbing a turn
 
 on.His body inches.She pinches.Two small earthquakes explode and their
 
 bodies quiver.A kiss reaches up and smacks his face with warmth.A stronger
 
 kiss holds them still..a beating heart.A non-movement of body with feelings
 
 running through without stopping.The feelings begin behind the knees and
 
 travel all over the body,jerking them in and out,until finally resting near
 
 the pit of stomach.
 
 
 
 She is ready to leave.Ready to swim across the darken water,with the long
 
 shadows from the silvery moon.
 
 She is ready to find the nearest exit and leave.She's  ready to stop
 
 time,stop the world, make everyone and everything stand still.
 
 She is ready for him.
 
 
 
 He is....he is ready too.
 
 He's been ready a long time.
 
 He is ready to hold her right there on the dance floor,even in the midst of
 
 prying eyes,and love her.
 
 He is ready to kiss all over her body...ready to lay her down on the
 
 floor,watch her beautiful,brown body snake away from him and then grab her
 
 by hand and steady her.
 
 He is ready to breath life into her.
 
 He is ready to fulfill the overdue.
 
 He wants her and is ready.
 
 she want him and she is ready for/with him.
 
 
 
 when the time Comes,WILL YOU BE READY?
 
 
 
 Wendy plots her next move in her head.
 
 **Not today nor tomorrow,but soon.I need love too.Dancing with friends and
 
 strangers is no substitute for what Duawee has.No way.I'll get him back at
 
 all cost.I'll just let time run its course. Let's see who is the lover of
 
 all lovers.I'll make move in my own time**
 
 
 
 
 
 LET'S LEAVE THE HABOUR MASTER AGAIN AND CHECK OUT THE BAJAN QUEEN.

 The crowd is going wild,throwing their hands in the air and shouting.
 
 
 
 SIERRA AND ROMNEO
 
 
 
 Sierra; I'm so glad I came on this trip with you.
 
 
 
 Romneo: I'm happy because you are happy..look at the way they are dancing
 
 down here in the islands..wow..my dogs would be out here barking if they
 
 came on this trip.
 
 
 
 Sierra; yup my girls betta watch out when the Caribbean girls are about.
 
 
 
 Romneo: So what have you enjoyed so far?
 
 
 
 Sierra; There all a lot of things i've enjoyed..the walks on the
 
 beaches...mornings  and evenings..especially the evenings..those sunsets
 
 make me feel so good..it's so romantic..what about you? what one thing have
 
 you enjoyed so far?
 
 
 
 Romneo looks away from  her and towards the dance floor.His answer falls
 
 from his lips.
 
 
 
 
 
 Romneo;YOU.
 
 
 
 Sierra,slightly embarrass,tries to find an escape.
 
 
 
 Sierra;what do you mean?
 
 
 
 Romneo: well don't you know what your heart is telling you.I care for you a
 
 whole lot.I would do anything for you..to that end,the most enjoyable part
 
 of this holiday has been YOU.
 
 
 
 Sierra; I've enjoyed your company too and I,too, have a fondness for you.
 
 
 
 Romneo; Sierra I  don't think you're hearing what I'm saying.
 
 
 
 Sierra; What are you saying?
 
 
 
 Romneo; I'm saying I want to make love to you..yes make love to you..
 
 tonight. I don't know where this urge came from,but last night while I was
 
 reading,I just happened to look over at you,sleeping.The sheet had fallen
 
 away from your shoulders and there you were..lying there. I wanted you  so
 
 bad, wanted you there and then.I had to put the book down and try to
 
 sleep.You kept entering my head and eventually my dream.
 
 
 
 
 
 Sierra; I'm..I'm  so embarass..I ..I..  '''let's dance..come on let's
 
 dance..
 
 
 
 
 
 They reach the floor,hold onto each other and drift into love.a  slow jam.
 
 
 
 
 
 They whisper to each other
 
 
 
 Sierra: I want you too...
 
 
 
 Romneo: well we'll have to wait until the party is over,when we return to
 
 the our  room ..we'll we'll find out what love is made of.
 
 
 
 
 
 Sierra: scchhhh...don't say another word..let's just do it.Where do you want
 
 to begin?
 
 
 
 Romneo; what do you mean?
 
 
 
 
 
 Sierra; we could find a safer place on this boat and...
 
 
 
 
 
 He walks her off the floor,her words uttering like the sound of a beating
 
 heart.On the upper deck couples are locked in embrace,no longer wanting to
 
 dance,but longing for romance.
 
 Sierra and Romeneo find their dark,secret spot amoungst the other lovers and
 
 set-a-fire.
 
 
 
 Motion.boat motion

 dog and pulled a muscle.Sierra is unsteady on her feet..a little nervous,but
 
 ready.dance till dawn.
 
 
 
 Maggie
 
 
 
 Maggie,lonely Maggie
 
 all alone in a corner
 
 waiting to be asked
 
 for a dance
 
 too much beauty
 
 for one woman
 
 to have and not share
 
 men become afraid to ask
 
 they think you have issues
 
 and a man/husband.
 
 
 
 Maggie a little flirt
 
 will start the ball rolling
 
 go on Maggie
 
 go to him
 
 that man is waiting for you
 
 he looks nervous
 
 but so do you
 
 you make your move
 
 because he wouldn't
 
 he's afraid
 
 of you saying no.
 
 
 
 go on Maggie
 
 tell him
 
 you wouldn't bite him
 
 unless he refuses you
 
 tell him you are bajan
 
 but have lived too long
 
 in a foriegn land
 
 tell him
 
 you speak the bajan language fluently
 
 and he must not be afraid of you
 
 
 
 go Maggie.. go
 
 tell him he's looks good
 
 ask him for a dance
 
 startle him
 
 then make him submit
 
 by squeezing his fingers.
 
 go on Maggie
 
 pull him to the dance floor
 
 then hold him close
 
 watch his eyes
 
 as they blink
 
 while you show him
 
 why your dancing is so dangerous
 
 
 
 go Maggie
 
 go with him
 
 to the top deck
 
 and whisper to him
 
 your loneliness
 
 and your longing for an arm
 
 and the safety
 
 of a man
 
 not now
 
 but later
 
 tell him he looks good
 
 and wait for him to return
 
 the compliment.
 
 
 
 go on Maggie
 
 tell him
 
 how much you want him
 
 to take you to dinner
 
 and become your walking keep-fit companion
 
 on 5:30am mornings
 
 tell him it's only for seven more days
 
 tell him he can refuse
 
 but if he does
 
 tell him
 
 he loses
 
 you.
 
 
 
 tell him Maggie
 
 that you will wait for his call
 
 tell him
 
 he must call
 
 because your heart needs mending
 
 and it's been a long time
 
 since you loved
 
 and you came home for the remedy
 
 and you see it in him
 
 and before he answers
 
 tell him
 
 your name is Maggie
 
 and he mustn't say another word
 
 he must finish whatever he's thinking
 
 and he must come with you
 
 when the boat ride is over
 
 tell him how to get to your hotel room
 
 but he mustn't come in after the kiss goodnight
 
 he mustn't
 
 he mustn't,unless
 
 he's very polite
 
 and even then you being a lady
 
 might refuse to let him in
 
 
 
 tell him Maggie
 
 that you'd love
 
 to see him again
 
 not tonight though
 
 tell him you want to dream of him alone
 
 and that if he stayed you would not responsible
 
 for what might happen to him.
 
 
 
 tell him Maggie
 
 how you feel about him
 
 tell him about loneliness
 
 in the foreign land
 
 and how long it took for you to reach him
 
 and since it took so long
 
 you want him as a souvenir
 
 but if he refuse
 
 you would be disappointed in him
 
 but would kidnap him anyway
 
 
 
 tell him Maggie
 
 tell him what you want to do to him
 
 then watch his eyes droop into his glass
 
 and swallow his drink fast
 
 
 
 tell him Maggie
 
 how on sundays
 
 you'll make sure he's comfortable
 
 and will bring him breakfast
 
 for both of you
 
 and how he wouldn't have to mow the lawn
 
 because you paid someone to do it
 
 tell him how you know his back hurts
 
 and you know the art
 
 of rubbing away pain
 
 in heated oils.
 
 
 
 tell him Maggie
 
 how you feel
 
 he'll like the words
 
 you use
 
 he will like your body movements
 
 he will like you even more
 
 when you dance with him
 
 and discover your laughter
 
 is so intriguing and sexy
 
 
 
 go Maggie
 
 go over there
 
 and tell him
 
 don't beg him
 
 because that's not you way
 
 ask him if he'll dance with you
 
 
 
 go on Maggie
 
 get off the stool
 
 dust off your skirt
 
 walk the walk
 
 which you have perfected
 
 you know THE WALK
 
 the walk which lets everyone knows you have arrive
 
 you know the walk which make time stand still
 
 walk that walk
 
 the walk which moves in slow motion
 
 the walk which make other women envious
 
 the walk  that make men's eyes travel with every action
 
 the walk which caused accidents and traffic jams
 
 the walk.Maggie.THAT WALK.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 HE.
 
 nervously
 
 looks away
 
 be bold Maggie
 
 grab his hands
 
 and play with his fingers
 
 this is the 90's
 
 so a woman can be forceful
 
 a woman can play
 
 Finger Fun
 
 
 
 
 
 Maggie laugh at the moment his jaws drops and his eyes starts blinking.
 
 
 
 he smiles
 
 his heart beats faster
 
 than a soca drum beat
 
 no words
 
 exchanged
 
 between
 
 eyes meet and signal DANCE

 They dance --dance --dance.They have fallen in love with their homeland.the
 
 music,the food,the culture,but most of all the PEOPLE..THE BAJAN PEOPLE.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 On the top deck the party is in full flight.It's here where we meet the real

 WRITER'S NOTE____ I'VE HAD TO EDIT THIS PART OUT..IT WAS TOO LONG...ANYWAY

 At 4am the boats pulled up near the shore and the passengers
 
 disembarked.some are drunk..some are feeling tipsy,some are catspraddle(real
 
 drunk) and blind drunk..in other words  dem real lickup(DRUNK).
 
 
 
 On the Bajan Queen a song is blaring.it's Mac Fingal's CHANGE YUH SOCA
 
 MAN.The party people are wuking up and singing.
 
 
 
 On the Habour Master another song blares from the speakers.it's Alison
 
 Hind's and Square One's JACK UP DE WORLD.
 
 
 
 Soon car horns, blue smoke and screeching car tyres leave the scene
 
 empty.Streams of moonlight soak the night,leaving long trails on the dark
 
 water,the boats bouncing to the soca rush of a calming sea.The lights from
 
 the boat are dimmed and the surroundings return to peace.
 
 
 
 Homeward..sleep.
 
 
 
 
 
 Duawee and Veronica are locked in embrace,while the car bounces along the
 
 bumpy road,her head leaning on his shoulder.Her right hand has penertrated
 
 his unbutton shirt,fingers playing on his Xylophone of a body.He smiles from
 
 a tickle.she smiles with happiness (*).
 
 Leslie is fast asleep and dreaming.the tickling/kissing continues in the
 
 front seat.torrid heat buiLDS.The hotel room is dark as Leslie enters,her
 
 sleepy eyes finds the bed and her body splashes down into a *ahhhh
 
 sound.sleep.
 
 The car's engine purrs as the occupants fall deeper and deeper into a
 
 seductive state.He can hardly control the car.His body twitches as wet
 
 kisses touches his ear lobe.SERIOUS.The car purrs like a kitten,the
 
 occupants purr within themselves..love busting out all over.A caress,full of
 
 intent,squeezes his body closer to hers and it builds desire..uncontrollable
 
 desire.the car suddenly brakes>>>>.stop:.
 
 headlights stretches long beams along the street,filling part of the void.
 
 He kisses her and she moans..a long moan escapes from within as she reaches
 
 around his waist for a stronger hold.His hands leaves the steering wheel and
 
 finds her waiting for him//that touch.. warmth .she groans ..heaving her
 
 body upwards...it was time..the place
 
 it was right.
