The Terrible Demise of Tortuga

Chapter twenty four.

Emma put a hand on Andrew’s arm. He had started forward at Michael. Michael smiled inwardly. Now Emma had NO choice but to go with him. “Actually… I HAVE a date…with Andrew NOT YOU.” Emma said. Michael opened his mouth to complain. “Hey dad!” Emma called to someone behind Michael and his brothers. Their faces turned paled and they whirled around to see……..Aaron Buckleshoot. “Oh I though that was dad.” Emma lied. Andrew took advantage of the moment and grabbed Emma by the hand and started to lead her away. “Come on Emma, we gotta go.” Michael raged inside. She had made ANOTHER excuse! What did she see in that dumb Andrew.

Later the Mayors sat in the dining room of their manor to discuss their plan, with Michael leading. “We gotta find away to get rid of that…ANDREW!” Michael raged. “Any ideas?” He asked his brothers. “Um.. we ban all people in the city with the name Andrew?” Mike suggested. “Great idea! But no, he can just change his name.” Michael said. “We couuuld prohibit anyone from getting married without our permission, then she’ll have to marry you!” Mickie said. “No, she’ll just refuse and become…a nun.” Michael retorted. “Then WHAT do we do?! Everything we throw out there doesn’t work!” Mike asked. They pondered for a minute. Then an hour. Then…you get the point. They haven’t figured it out.

Andrew took Emma to a small beach on the shore of Tortuga. Arianna had prepared food for their date. Andrew had laid out a blanket(like a picnic blanket) and they sat down on it. The ocean roared and the waves came close, lapping at their toes. They ate sandwich’s with bacon, lettuce and tomatoes on them and sweet tea. Then for dessert(which they were eating currently) was chocolate covered strawberries. Emma bit into a leg the heavenly juice of thw strawberry run across her tongue. “These are really good.” Andrew said. Emma nodded. “This is a beautiful place.” She said. “Yeah, but not as beautiful as you.” Andrew replied. Emma blushed. “You know this is my first date.” Emma said. “So I’m sorry if I’m not doing anything correctly.” Andrew smiled. “I think you’re doing fine.” He said. She laughed. “I really like you Emma. You’re smart, pretty, kind, and more.” Emma blushed again. She felt the same way about him. (Except he was smart, HANDSOME, kind and more) When she was around him it was like being in heaven. And when she wasn’t with him she felt anxious just to be with him again. When she thought about him, she felt like she had swallowed a lymantria her stomach was always fluttering. Andrew leaned forward toward her. She took the cue and leaned toward him. Their faces were right next to each other and their lips inches away from touching when…a bell rang. It was the “thirty minutes until lights out” bell. “We gotta go.” Emma said. They gathered up their things and headed back home. Andrew walker her to her doorstep. “So… again tomorrow?” Andrew inquired. Emma smiled. “I would love to.” She whispered softly to him. She gently kissed him on the lips. Then she went inside her house.

Can u feel the love tonight?
