“Yes! If it’s Tarek’s restaurant. Yes!”

“Let’s go.” I take her by the hand and we both walk out to the car.

ZEETA

“Oh that was delicious,” I set my knife and fork to the side. Unwind was a beautiful restaurant, sitting on a cliff overlooking Castara Bay. Tarek got the style of the restaurant right. It’s Caribbean meets modern. The walls are done in vibrant colors, the music is pounding throughout the restaurant.

“What kind of music is this? I love it?” I tap my feet and shake my shoulders.

Rhet sips his whiskey, “It’s called soca music, the singer is Machel Montano.”

I continue dancing on my chair “How do you know this much?”

“My friend is Trinbagonian remember,” he smiles as watches me dance.

Someone taps my shoulder, looking around I see and old man “Excuse meh sir, I don’t mean to interrupt you and your lady’s time.” His accent sounds like he is singing his words.

Rhet sits back in his chair; his posture relaxed “Not at all how can I help?”

The old man smiles wide, “I just wanted to dance with your lady.”

Rhet laughs and says, “You will have to ask her.”

I beam at him “I would love too.”

I take his hand and he leads me onto the dance floor.

The old man wrapped his arm around me, he stands tall nearly as tall as Rhet. Just leaner.

The trumpets blast and all the people in the audience sing along.

“What is this song called?” I inquire.

“Meh Lovah,” he states. For the next three minutes I was twirled around and dipped. Enjoying every minute. When the song was over, I clapped.

“What’s your name?”

“They call me Roy.” His smile spreads.

“Nice to meet you Roy I’m Zeeta.”

He escorts me back to my seat and thanks Rhet.

“Having a good time?” Rhet ask.

“Yes, this is amazing,” I reach for my glass of water take a sip and place it back on the table.

A new song comes on and the crowd begins to pair up, some begin doing this slow grinding movement on each other.

“Oh that is sexy, it’s not a twerk. What is kind dance is that?” I ask I am intrigued as I watch couples dance with each other.

A hand appears “It called whining. Let’s go”

I sit in surprise looking at Rhet “No way. You can dance?”

He smirks at me “There is only on way to find out.”

I take his hand and walk to the dance floor.
