IC: Robby Westbrook Jr.
One would think that life being the only son of one the five wealthiest men on earth would be easy. But for Robby it was anything but. It had been a year since he'd last seen his father. He had graduated from his boarding school last month only to find his father's assistant Jaunita there to celebrate his accomplishment with him not his own father. She had told him he was too busy finalizing a deal over in Mumbai. His own father was not there. That wasn't surprising he was always an afterthought to Robert Westbrook.
He had flown from Geneva down here to Monaco. Apparently the old man had arranged a voyage on the private yacht with some sort of special tutor. Though he wasn't sure which subject he was to be tutored in considering he'd just graduated from school. He supposed it could be to help him get into Yale or Columbia but his father's name would make them jump to give him a full ride scholarship there. Those prestigious schools in the States would sooner chew off their own arm than turrn down than getting a chance to have a new Robert Westbrook Sr. Science or Law building. Not that he'd accept it if they did. He was determined to make his own way without his father's long distance hovering.
Robby frowned at this. He did not want to spend his summer break with some stuffy old guy droning on about whatever his father wanted him to learn on a boat he couldn't escape from. He wished he knew what the plan was. Jaunita was a little vague on that too, and no one knew the old man's plans better than her.
They pulled up at the pier where his father's super yacht was docked. The one-hundred-meter Siren Song of the Sea was technically bought for Robby's mother when they were married. His mother loved going on sea voyages before the breast cancer had taken her life and pretty much destroyed the family. Robby's father threw himself into work and building his fortune to higher and higher heights of wealth and extravagance and indulging in only casual flings with women, and then there was Robby shuffled off to Swiss boarding schools and virtually forgotten until moments like this one where Robert Westbrook remembered what a shit father he was and made some sort of grand gesture to make up for it. His first car was a Lamborghini and it had been Jaunita not his father who had taught him to drive the thing.
Jaunita opened the trunk and handed him the luggage she had packed for him. "Oh it's not going to be that bad, young Mr. Westbrook. Do you know how many people would love to spend a summer sailing the Mediterranean in your place?"
"And you swear you have no idea who this tutor is, Juanita?" He asked hefting the bags up over his shoulder. Just what did she put in these? They felt like they weighed a ton. "I don't like him controlling my life anymore. I am a man now, damn it."
"Whatever it is I am sure it will be fine." The sound of the trunk of her Mercedes was resounding on the pier. "Senor Westbrook loves you in his own way. I-" Her phone interrupted her and she instantly had to ear taken a million miles away to deal with some financial snare up in his dad's project in Dubai.
Sighing heavily Robby made for the boat. Might as well get this summer from hell on the high seas started. The Yacht's crew came out to meet him taking his heavy bags from his shoulders. One was a cute redhead girl somewhere around his own age who smiled at him and he could feel the blood pounding in his head as his cheeks reddened instantly. "I uh...thanks...uh...thank you." He managed to squeak out to her. God, he hated how girls made him just freeze up like this.
"Young Mister Westbrook," The elderly captain said officiously, "Your special guest is already on board, and we will set off underway as soon as you settle in."
Jaunita was already in her Mercedes a million miles away. He was on his own again it seemed. What else was new.
He went up the gangway to board the yacht. He supposed he should meet whoever he was going to be stuck with. He imagined an overweight old man with a big bushy mustache and receding hairline with his face stuck in a book rather than the beauty of the Mediterranean all around them. He went inside the yacht to the living quarters that opened up to an outdoor sun deck and pool, and found someone there. It was not the old academic he had imagined. This was not the old academic he imagined at all.
She was a woman, a few years older than he was, and absolutely, mind-meltingly gorgeous. She wore a brightly colored silken sarong over her bikini covering it, but it did nothing to conceal any of her womanly charms. She held in one hand a glass of wine as she sat watching the beauty of the sea.
the boat gave a lurch as it started parting from the pier and onto its summer-long voyage.
She looked at him and gave him a winning smile. He could feel his heartbeat in the tips of his ears as he blushed. He didn't know where to look at her either for that matter. She was so beautiful anywhere on her body seemed entirely vulgar to focus his gaze upon. Breasts, smile, deep brilliant eyes, long legs. Oh god, he was starting to get a boner just looking at her. "I ah....uhmmm...who-who are you?"
