   No sooner had we docked and fueled up that Amanda and Zack disappeared
into the Marina building.  Likewise Donnie and Sherri abandoned us to go
their merry way.

   Hazel helped us transport our memorable catch to the freezers in her
store.  "Come, let me introduce you to my cousin--" Hazel led the way to a
wiry young man, "Jo-An, say Hi to my friends."

   "Jo-An?" We asked.

   "Sorry!" Hazel laughed, "Mr Joseph Anthony Charles, meet my friends
James and Brenda." We shook hands.  "My older brother is Joseph too," Hazel
continued, "So he's Jo-Jo.  So when THIS Joseph was born, he became Jo-An!"

   Jo-An shrugged, "I have to blame my father for sticking that name on me,
but then, he's like that a lot..." He shared a look with Hazel who nodded
understandingly.  "Gets the girls' attention, so..." Another toothy shrug.

   "Jo-An helps out with the store and the diving, so I asked Eva to bring
him in a bit earlier this season."

   "It's been busy!" He grinned, "A full Open-water class.  Everybody
wanting to see more of the famous Lion fish!"

   "Makes sense, they all want to see what is rare!" Hazel laughed, "But
all they had to do is to go down to any well-stocked aquarium in a large
city!"

   "How long do you think you will need me?" Jo-An asked, "Father wants me
to ask."

   "How 'bout the whole season?" Hazel said, "I want to do a few things
with my friends here."

   "Hazel..." We looked at her, "We..."

   "It's okay, really." She smiled, "Walk with me to the Main House - I
have to talk to Mr Bentel and help start supper."

   "Haze, you KNOW I was just joking, right?" I said, then to Brenda, "I
kinda made Hazel promise to spend every day with us."

   "So I'm lousy at making deals!" Hazel laughed, "But LOOK at me!  I'm
happy, and what's more..." She looked at us, "You make me WANT to DO
things. So, I'd call it a win-win situation!"

   "Do WHAT things?" Brenda asked.

   "Later, I'll tell you later.  I have to get supper going!" She hurried
away.

   "I hope things haven't gone completely out of hand!" Brenda murmured to
me, as Eva came up to greet us.

   "Hazel sure looks excited..." Without waiting for a reply she continued,
"Donnie says you have papers for us to sign?"

   "Uh yeah, I have them here, but you should read them over first..."

   "Just explain it to me here..."

   "Basically, the easiest way for you to establish yourself is to form a
Sole Proprietorship, under you and Donnie.  You will have two investors -
the Andersons and James' Company, who will supply you with startup funding
and consultation - the Andersons for Sales and Promotion, and James for
Technical expertise." Brenda went over the arrangements.  "So, as Partners
of Record, we are essentially Preferred Stock holders - we do not interfere
with your running the company, but you cannot liquidate without paying us
first."

   "Sounds fair, and good for us." Eva smiled, "Let me start dinner, and we
can all sign tonight." She seated us at the Bentel's table, with Robb and
Fran Anderson.

   "Do you know why Hazel asked for a meeting?" Colin asked, "She said
she'd like to talk to all of us."

   "No...  She was very excited though."

   "Not like her at all!" Anne commented.

   Sherri and Amanda came in, "Sorry we're late, had to get some grease off
me." Amanda apologized, "The Carver is almost ready!  Zack has to do some
running-in, monitor the oil temp and we should be ready for tests tomorrow!
You have to see it!  He put a new liner in the engine bay!"

   "That's certainly fast work!" Robb said.

   "Helps when all the parts use the same mounts and were made for the same
company!"

   "Hazel didn't say anything to you, has she?" Brenda asked.

   "No, should she?"

   "She's acting a bit...  mysterious this evening."

   "I hope the mystery gets cleared up...  Here she comes!"

   With Miriam and Eva by her side, Hazel began, "I want you all to know
that I'm going to treasure the time I've spent here..."

   "You...  you're going somewhere?" Asked Sherri.

   "Yes, I've decided that I will be leaving here after this season."

   "Where are you going?" "What will you be doing?"

   "I've decided to go back to school!" Hazel smile proudly.  "I'm hoping I
can go back to the Bahamas North College and get a degree..."

   "Ahh, good for you!" "Congratulations!"

   "Will you be OK, financially?" Colin asked.

   "I have money saved up, and I can probably go back to stay at home."

   "If you need anything..." Anne Bentel offered, "You know we will support
you!"

   "I know, and I appreciate it.  Thank you!" Hazel took her hand, "I'd
like to stay here until school starts, if that's okay..."

   "Of course it is!  That will give you time to train Jo-An to take over!"
Colin smiled.

   "Thank you!  I was about to ask you...  I'll make sure Jo-An knows his
job!" Hazel laughed, tearfully, "And I promise, if you need me, I'll be
back!"

   "I know..." Colin nodded, "And we'll want you back - as often as you
want!" They ended up giving each other hugs.

   "You had us worried for a bit, Hazel " I said, "But you know..."

   She nodded and whispered, "We'll talk later, OK?"

   "We need a toast, Hazel," I smiled at her, "I wonder if Mr Bentel will
allow you to buy us a bottle to celebrate?"

   "By all means!"

   "What about the wine you brought us yesterday?  It was quite good..." I
suggested.

   "Yes, okay.  I-I'll be right back!"

   Hazel quickly returned with a bottle of the Carmenere and started
opening it.  She offered the cork to Colin and began to pour.

   "Tell us something about this wine, Hazel..." Brenda prompted.

   "Oh...  Er...  This wine, i-is from Chile, and it is made from a grape,
the Carmenere, one of the six that made French wines so special.  It was
thought to have been extinct until it was re-discovered growing in Chile.
At first they thought it was a Merlot, but because it tasted very different
from Merlot wines made elsewhere, it actually made the wines from Chile
famous!  Today, the Carmenere is only grown in Chile, and has become her
signature grape!" She looked at Brenda, "This Terra Andina is not as good
as the 2002 Concha y Toro Grand Reserve, of course, but very good in
itself..." Hazel finished distributing the wine with a grin.

   "Huh, learn something new every day," Robb laughed, "To Hazel!  Our lady
with the lovely smile and deep talents."

   "Here, here!" "To Hazel!"

   Hazel, blushing the color of her wine, toasted us back.  "Thank you
everybody.  You have been so kind...  Please excuse me." With a small bow,
she went back to help at the bar.

   "That girl," Fran shook her head, "I didn't see it in her!"

   "Nor I..." Anne replied, looking at us, "Maybe these young folks made
her realize what she had inside..."

   "We are just as shocked at her decision, but I'm certain she'll do
well." Brenda said.  "She's a really capable nurse."

   "And she's really knowledgeable about scuba diving too." I added.

   "We glad for the chil'," Miriam smiled as she came back to ladle more
soup into my bowl, "She got good heart and I glad you make her happy."

   "And you make me happy too, Miriam, thank you," I took another sip of
the rich, clear soup.  "This is special - beef, but without the grease...
You must've used beef bones...  Roasted first?  With a hint of cilantro and
mint.  Lovely, just lovely." I smiled at her.

   "Aw, you sweet, and smart, I marry you m'self, i' you no' have so many
gi'friens!" She laughed.  "You finish soup, I bring fish...  Special for
you!" She ruffled my hair and disappeared into the kitchen.

   "Looks like you have another admirer!" Amanda gave me a kick under the
table.

   "Miriam knows how taxing it is to keep you happy babe!"

   "You'd better eat up then, buddy!  You have a lot of hard work ahead of
you!" Then she kicked me again, "Hey, stop staring at Hazel when you should
be thinking of ways of pleasing me!"

   "I'm watching Rico..."

   "Oh, we can both watch Rico, he's sexy!"

   "I'm making sure he's not bothering Hazel."

   "You make him sta 'way?  You good boy!" Miriam had been serving the
entrée and now place a heaping plate in front of me, "Dis Lion fish, he be
badderashun when 'live, now good food.  You eat, Miriam have mo' good bits
for you!"

   The fish had been cooked in a cream sauce and had a roasted coconut,
garlic and ginger garnishing on top.  The firm meat with the smooth sauce
contrasted nicely with the crunchy and fragrant topping.

   "Man, this is so frigging good!" Sherri commented.

   "Yeah, but is your mouth tingling yet?"

   "I don't care, if I collapse, just resuscitate me just so I can finish
the meal!"

   "It's not my mouth that's tingling!" Brenda grinned, "Didn't you say
it's an aphrodisiac?"

   "Is the aphrodisiac working on you yet?" Amanda's foot crept back up my
thigh, "Tell me where the tingling starts!"

   Judging from the Oohs, Ahhhs and giggles from the dining room, most of
the guests were going through the same conversation we were having.  There
were a few, "Ewww, we're eating LEONA?!!!" which was quickly shushed.

   "Miriam," I asked her when she was giving me thirds, "How did a ten
pound fish feed everyone here?"

   "Secret!" She winked at us, "Lion fish, dis," She pointed at our plates,
"Halibut, dis!" She gestured at the tables around us.  "Dey look same, but
halibut no' so tasty."

   "So...  those people are getting horny simply because they THINK they're
supposed to?"

   "Looks like it!" Brenda laughed, "LOOK at them rush through their meal
to get back to their cottages!"

   After the main course and a coffee, during which Eva and Donnie joined
us to get the papers signed, the Andersons too made a quick return to their
island and the Bentels retired.  Hazel came back with a smile, "Looks like
an early night for many people.  If you want to go back to the lodge now, I
will bring you desert after I clean up here."

   "You were a BAD girl, honey, scaring us like you did!" Sherri admonished
her.

   "I'm sorry," Hazel grinned, "Didn't I say you guys motivate me?"

   "Honey, just show up OK?" Amanda slid an arm around her, "All I need is
you for MY desert!"

   "You'd better not!' Hazel told her, "Or I'll be too scared to let you
help me later tonight!"

   "WHAT?  What's happening tonight?"

   "Be good and I'll show you!"

   "Damn, it better be far-freaking amazing!" Amanda bitched all the way
back to the lodge.  "First the thing tomorrow morning, now this..."

   "Come and sit with me," I nestled her against me, "Let me show you how
well the Lion fish is working!"

   "James, dude, didn't you hear the girl?" Amanda said, moving from me to
sit by herself in the lazy boy, "I don't want to be busy with you when
Hazel comes for my help!"

   "Wow, that's cold...  Bren?  Sherri?" I looked at them.

   "Sorry babe!  We're saving ourselves for Hazel too!" They laughed, but
settled beside me.

   "I want it too, sweetheart," Sherri kissed me, "But we need to make sure
Amanda doesn't molest Hazel when she arrives, right?"

   "Me too, but after what happened, you KNOW I'm only allowed to have
slow, all-night sex with you.  No more 'wham-bam-thank you-ma'am' until
further notice!" Brenda had the grace to appear slightly apologetic.

   "Damn, all that Lion fish getting wasted!" It was my turn to bitch.

   "Hon, I wouldn't say it's wasted - just a tad delayed!" Sherri curled up
in my lap and nibbled on my neck.

   "Pleasure postponed and all that," Smiled an unrepentant Brenda.

   "I thought the saying was 'Pleasure postponed and diminished!' " I
argued.

   "Not 'round here sweetness," Brenda purred against me, "Here we say
'Pleasure postponed collects interest!' "

   "What if the fish effect wears out?"

   "James, with what you ate, it should last for days!" Amanda noted. 
"Wait, you hear something?" She was up and at the door in a flash. 
"Haze... C'mon, you guys ready to go?"

   "Later," Hazel said, "We have to wait..." She entered with a large bowl
of fresh fruit salad.  "Desert first!" She smiled at me and placed the bowl
on the table.

   "Wait for WHAT?"

   "Wait for dark, and to talk to you about my decision..."

   "Yeah, OK, OK," Groused Amanda, "At least sit with me - they wouldn't
let me sit with them!" She jammed Hazel in the chair and wedged herself
around.  "They're so mean to me!" As she traced little circles around
Hazel's neck.

   "Ooh...  Ah..." Hazel shivered, "C-can you not touch me there?" She
stopped, "I shouldn't have said that, should I?"

   "It's okay, babe," Amanda murmured, "Just tell me where to touch you..."
Her lips replaced her hands as they slipped over her T-shirt.

   "Ahh, c-can I give you my explanations first?"

   "And then...?"

   "And then, it'll be dark enough to go, hopefully!"

   "Dark is good..." Amanda sighed, "We can turn the lights off and
practice a bit first!"

   "No, no," Hazel cried, "This is quite fine!"

   "And my hand, you want me to move my hand?"

   "Ah...  no...  no...  Your hand is fine too!"

   "You're right, it feel mighty fine to me too!"

   "Amanda...  You shouldn't be doing this..."

   "No?  Why not?" She grinned, "Tell me you don't like what I'm doing..."

   "I-I don't NOT like what you're doing," Hazel replied, "It's just that I
know I SHOULDN'T like what you're doing..."

   "According to...?"

   "To everyone!"

   "So, if I stroke your hair like this, it's okay?"

   "Sure..."

   "And your face...?"

   "S-sure...  Just not...  ahhhh...  there."

   "Why not?  It's even over your clothes!"

   "I don't know...  It's just the way it is!"

   "But you like what I'm doing?"

   "Oh, lord...  Yes...  But...  Are they looking at us?"

   "If I said Yes, would it make you feel better or worse?"

   "M-more excited...  Why am I excited?" She breathed, "What's happening
to me?"

   "You're just learning the difference between who YOU are and what you've
been told you should be!"

   "Huh?  I don't understand...  I guess I need to think about that."

   "Aren't there some things in life that you know, deep down, is right,
yet everyone tells you is wrong?"

   "You mean like having a girl touch me and making me feel good, is right,
yet is wrong?"

   "I mean like going back to school when it's right, yet is wrong."

   "Ohhh..." Hazel stopped.

   After a while she sighed, then giggled, "That was quite a round-about
way to help me explain my decision!"

   "That way is not without certain, er...  perks!" Amanda smiled back,
"And there is absolutely nothing wrong about feeling good, and making
someone else feel good!" She gave her a quick kiss, "Just make sure one
does not exclude the other!"

   "Wow, that needs thought too!"

   "Actually, think about this..." There was some fumbling and...  "Lordy,
you have the smoothest skin!"

   "N-no, please don't..."

   "Okay, I'll stop," Amanda gave Hazel a light kiss, "It still feels
good?"

   "Can't you TELL how I feel?" Hazel buried her face against Amanda and
shook.  "Yes, it feels good!"

   "Now, picture this..." Amanda's voice dropped to a whisper, "You go out
with a boy, maybe on three or four dates, and he does this...  And you let
him, even though you may not like him that much, or you're not all that
comfortable with him...  You let him, because it's supposed to happen, and
you're supposed to accept it..."

   Hazel shook her head, "He...  he said I was being a prude...  And there
was something wrong if I didn't accept it..."

   "...so you let him, when you didn't feel good about it, all because
someone told you that's the way it SHOULD happen."

   "Yes...  But he was not gentle like you...  I like what you're doing..."

   "So, on the next date..."

   "There was no next date.  He started taking my clothes off right there
and...  started touching me, all over..." Hazel shivered.  "Put his finger
in me, then two...  Even though I told him it hurt."

   "Baby...  baby..." Amanda stroked her.  "It's alright now..."

   "I told him to stop, and when he saw the blood on his hand, he laughed
and said he was going to put something even bigger in me.  I grabbed my
clothes and ran out..."

   "Oh honey, you did the right thing..." Amanda sighed, "Imagine what
would've happened if you had allowed him to go further!"

   "Ughh!" Hazel shook, "But for a long time I really thought I was sick,
or something...  That somehow I wasn't normal..."

   "And you're perfectly normal." Amanda smiled.

   "Even when I'm sitting here and loving what you're doing to me?"

   "You can't enjoy it just because I'm a girl too?" Amanda smiled, "Honey,
it's not a sexual orientation thing - right now all you are orientating to
is ME!  To put your mind at ease, tell me you haven't thought about letting
the brute over there touch you the way I'm doing!"

   "Well, maybe..." Hazel glanced at me and blushed even more.

   "Another thing you can think on," Amanda said, "Just because you care
for a person, it does not automatically extend that love to others of the
same gender, or any other orientation!"

   "So, if I say I care for you, will that make other people mad?"

   "If you mean present company, then I can assure you it won't..." Amanda
smiled, "So...  do you care for me?  A lot?"

   "You're just trying to get me to say things..." Hazel chided her, and
smiled, "Yes, I care for you a lot..." She looked up at us, "I care for you
a lot too..." She leaned and kissed Mandie lightly, "But for now all I want
is to make Amanda smile and maybe make her feel good too..." She sighed, "I
worried when I started wondering how your body would feel..."

   "As I said..."

   "I know, just because I care for a girl does not make me a lover of ALL
girls...  Or ONLY girls!" Hazel looked at me with a smile.

   "Baby, stop making eyes at my boyfriend!  Tonight, you're MY
girlfriend!"

   "You're SO possessive!" Hazel giggled, "But I like it...  Ahh... 
girlfriend!" She closed her eyes and leaned into Amanda's lips.

   "Oops, someone's gonna get Mandied!" Brenda laughed softly.  "Shit, I'm
shaking just watching them!" She stroked the tent in my pants, "And looks
like I'm not alone here!" She tugged my zip down, "You know they'll
probably be out for 10 minutes or more..."

   "Man, that's so sexy!" Sherri whispered, "Kiss me like that!" She tilted
my face and touched her mouth to mine, prying my lips open with her tongue.

   "Mmmmmph!" I jumped as Brenda's mouth settled over my quivering
erection, then applied suction.  "Ohhh, yess...  Aaahhhh!" I grabbed hair
and plunged my tongue into Sherri just as my body convulsed into the
drowning warmth.

   "Heh, that's quite a mess you made sweetheart!" Sherri laughed,
carefully wiping my come off Brenda's face.

   "I think he took my tonsils right off!" Brenda make a face, before
returning to licking my cock clean.

   "Th-that was amazing, girls!  We should raise a plaque to thank Leona
too!" I pulled Brenda up and kissed her, "And a major thank you, My Lord!"

   "Wow, what are you doin'?" A dazed-looking Hazel was blinking in our
direction.  "Wow...  I feel dizzy...  like I drank too much..." She stroked
Amanda's face, "You're a GOOD kisser!" She leaned over, "Kiss me some
more!"

   "No, not now...  You've had enough kissing tonight."

   "She was giving him a blow job wasn't she?" Hazel wagged a finger in our
direction.

   "Never mind dear, they're just being rude and crude." Amanda tried to
turn her face away.

   "Why do they call it a 'Blow Job?' Does she really blow into it?" Hazel
thought about it, "Do I have to give him a blow job too?"

   "No baby, no one will give him a blow job, ever again!" Amanda promised.

   "I could learn," Hazel looked at Brenda, "Will you teach me?"

   "Yes, honey," Brenda grinned, "If you REALLY want me to..."

   "Yeah...!" Hazel looked at me, "I really want to give you a blow job!"

   "Whoa," Laughed Sherri, stroking my penis, "You got him all excited! 
Say it again!'

   "I'm gonna give you a blow job!" Hazel stared as I flexed in Sherri's
hand.

   "That's so awesome!" Sherri said, "Now say, 'I want to suck your cock!'
"

   "Don't listen to her, she's evil incarnate!" Amanda tried to cover
Hazel's ears.  "The very spawn of Sa..."

   Hazel grinned past Amanda's efforts.  "I'm gonna suck your cock." She
stated.
