Re: OchoRios - Danielle's trip report

i'm here enjoying your report, danielle. i have to say your no-nonsense and blunt way of describing things is, well, let's say, refreshing, lol!

Re: OchoRios - Danielle's trip report

I see now that all my trips (as half of a married couple) haven't been quite what they could be if I were single!

The closest I ever got to any of this was a night at the Hurricane disco in MoBay with my sister in law, we'd left our kids and husbands at the villa and danced our butts off.

I remember being asked to dance a couple of times, and walking (staggering?) into the DJ booth and hanging out there for awhile, but I don't remember getting any fo the attention like you and your friends did!

Re: OchoRios - Danielle's trip report

I too see what you're saying ohliz! I was thinking the same thing. I'll be married next time so no looking back for me! But we do get one night: my bachelorette party in Negril. That should be fun! All the possibilities...

Re: OchoRios - Danielle's trip report

Jazzy, when are you getting married? Good Luck!

[Daniellebaby]

Re: OchoRios - Danielle's trip report

continuing on Friday...
We go back up to our room to have some showers and get ready...I'm not sure what Olivia and I are getting ready for, but Dolly is waiting for her phone call from Paul. Olivia and I question her intentions with this man and give her a lecture about safety...yeah like we should talk right?? [img]/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
The phone rings right on time at 3:00, just like he promised her. Wow, Olivia and I look at eachother, we are rather impressed. It is so cute to see Dolly on the phone with her sweet little voice and her shy smile. She is like a school girl. We try not to listen to her conversation and look busy. When she hangs up we are right up in her face wanting the low down. "So what's going on?" Where are you going?" "What did her say?"
She tells us he is going to meet her in about an hour in front of the resort and they are going for a walk and shopping. Of course we go on and give her another lecture about being careful, not getting into any vehicals with people we don't really know, and run if she needs to! She says she knows and is not stupid, but I remind her we have all lost our senses since getting off the plane in Montego bay a few days ago. She laughs, and says she we will back at 6. Olivia says she will call the police if she is not back by then. She is absolutely serious.
Then the frantic craz of getting ready begins, Dolly doesn't know what to wear, she is flying around trying to get ready. We all know she wants to look perfect. Olivia does her hair, I give her some clothes and she is raedy. She looks great! She is in trouble! [img]/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
I say to her, "Hey if you guys happen to see Pete, say "Hi" to him for me, and tell him I am so sorry about leaving him there the other night, I do feel really bad" Dolly nods and says Paul is Pete's friend, so she will mention it to Paul, or if she sees Pete, she will tell him herself. I hope she sees him, I do feel bad, and there was something about that guy that made me fell warm..well hot! [img]/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] I figured, if it was meant to be that I see him again, Dolly would meet up with him, or something. I wasn't getting my hopes up, but a part of me thought it would be nice to see him again.
Dolly is ready and asks us again how she looks. she is so nervous and excited at the same time. I am excited for her, but also a little worried. I really hope this guy isin't some kind of crazy man, and won't take her somewhere and kill her
I say goodbye and be careful-once again (I really should listen to my own advice) and she walks out of the room.
Olivia looks at me and says "Man, that girl is in love. She is in trouble"
I look back at her and say "You really think so?"
I hope she realizes we are only here a few more days and the only real relationship that could possibly come out of this is a fling, right? How wrong we were.
Well Olivia and I decide to get ready to go down to the courtyard, there is some entertainment there or something. We get ready, do our hair, get dressed. The phone rings.
We look at eachother, who could it be for?
Olivia goes for the phone.
"Hello, yes she is, just hold on"
It's for me.
I reach for the phone. "Hello" I say calmly.
"Hello Danielle"
I smile.
He says "do you know who this is?"
"Of course I do" I say.
He says "This is Pete, I wasn't sure if you would remember me, I'm sure you have all kinds of guys calling you"
I teasingly laugh and say I am glad he called.
He says he was waiting for me to come back after I left him the other night, and didn't think he would ever see me again.
I apologize again. I feel so bad.
He goes on to say he saw Dolly with Paul, and she had told him that I felt bad for leaving him all alone. He said he was so glad that she said that, and he called me up right away. There she goes again, giving away our number..oh well I forgive her [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
He continues to ask me what my plans are and I tell him, I really didn't have any. He asks if it is OK if he sees me again. I say "sure".
He says he will come by the resort in a half an hour to pick me up. I agree.
We say good-bye.
I hang up.
Now it is my turn to be in a frenzy to get ready. I have only a half an hour and I am rummaging through everything to see what to wear.
Oh my, I am getting nervous and excited at the same time. I now know exactly how Dolly feels!
I finally get something on, Olivia fixes my hair.
I then realize Olivia will be alone. I look at her and ask her if she minds. I will only be gone for a little while I tell her. I say I will be back the same time as Dolly around 6:30, so we can go for supper at the festival buffet. We plan to go for dinner around 7:00. I say if she doesn't see or hear from me by 6:30, she should send out a search party, or call the police.
She says she is just going to relax, take a shower, get ready for dinner and grab some drinks. I fell a little bad for leaving her alone, but what can I do?
OK. I am ready, how do I look? I hope I don't look as nervous as I feel. Olivia says I look fine. I hope so.
Off I go.
In the lobby as I get out of the elevator, I look around. I hate waiting around all alone. I sure hope he is there.
As I am looking around I see him. He is walking towards me with that smile. OK get ahold of yourself. He says "Hi", I smile and say "Hi" He grabs my hand. I think we are just going for a walk, like Dolly and Paul. He leads me toward a car.
OK now I am worried, a little panicked. I do not know this guy and he is taking me into a car. For all I know he could kill me, and no one would know. I have heard about all these kinds of stories. Oh my god, if my mother knew I was going to go into a car with a stranger....all of these thoughts were running through my head.
Pete looks at me and as if he was reading my mind, he says, "don't worry, I won't kidnap you or anything". I smile, could he really tell that I was thinking that?
We get to his car and then he tells me we were going to hang out with a couple of his friends..
Oh great, I imagine a group of guys in his car all attacking me.
When he opens the door for me I see a couple inside, yes another female and a guy. I am relieved! He introduces me and the lady asks me how I am enjoying my stay here and tells me she came to Jamaica a few year ago, and ended up returning and marrying her husband (who was the man in the car)
Pete looks at me and says "see, she loves it here and found the love of her life"
I smile again. I am feeling more comfortable and can relax a bit now.
Pete drives us around and we drive into a lot, where he says "this is where we take all of the tourists and put them in the dungeon." He is trying to be funny, he really knows I think he may kidnap me. He tells his friends I am a little scared , and they say Pete is a good guy, you don't have to worry about him"
We park and goto a mall, where we look at some shops and stuff. I chit chat with the lady and I like her. She is originally American, but has lived in jamaica for the past few years. She loves it here. She says it is a bit different and takes some time to get used to, but the beauty of the island gets her through.
Pete walks close to me, and takes me to a bench to sit down, we sit and talk for a while. I am enjoying myself. I am glad he has brought his friends. I feel a lot more comfortable. He just can't stop smiling, and that smile just makes me melt.
We get up and Pete says "let's go for a drink. " He drives us to a little place, where there is a sit down counter, and he orders me a drink. He already knows what I drink, and I've only known him a couple days, not bad....
We sit at the bar for a while, and I talk to the lady a bit more, she tells me all about life on the island. She says Pete really needs a good woman, and that he is such a nice guy, but can't find that "someone special" I tell her I think he is a pretty nice guy too, and I am glad we got together.
I ask Pete the time, it is almost 6, wow, the time has gone by too fast. Pete suggests we go for supper, I say I would like to, but I had plans with the girls, and I told them I would be back by 6:30. He looks a little dissappointed. I really would like to go out for dinner with him, but I promised Olivia and Dolly that we would go to the big bash tonight on the ocean, it was some special thing. A part of me just wanted to stay here and hang out with Pete and his friends, but I knew I better check in with the girls , before they thought Pete killed me or something.
Pete asks me "what about Dolly?, she is with Paul, and they were having a great time together?"
I tell him she was also meeting us back at the resort by 6, or so.
He says "I bet she's not back"
I say SHE IS.
He says "why don't we see?"
He tries to remember our resort phone number, and he does a pretty good job, I think he saved it on his cell phone. He calls up to our room. Olivia answers and I say "hey you" She asks me if everything is OK, I tell her I am fine, and having drinks with pete and his friends. I ask her where Dolly was, and if she was there. She says no. I start to panick, I say "you haven't heard from her?"
Olivia says "Oh, she called from downstairs and her and Paul are walking by the beach"
I say "Oh, OK, that's good."
I tell her I'll be back in a bit for dinner. he says "great, we'll see you later"
I get off the phone and thank Pete for leting me call.
He says "Was she there?"
I say "well she is not in the room, she walking with Paul on the beach"
"See I told you she wasn't back yet, she must be having too much fun"
I say "Well, she wasn't in the room, but she's back"
He smiles and says I should stay with him.
A part of me really wants too, but I tell him I will go to dinner with the girls and maybe we can get together later.
He is OK with that. He is going to go out for dinner with the couple and we agree to meet up again later.
I tell him to join me at the entertainment/show later. he says he might come.
We go back to the car and he drives me back.
His friends say they really wish i could have joined them for dinner. I feel like I should go. They say they were glad we met, and hope to see me agin. I say the same to them.
I look at Pete and he says he will see me later.
He says he'll call me. I leave, thinking I've upset him by not going to dinner. I say Thanks and good-bye and walk away.
I hope I see him again.

Re: OchoRios - Danielle's trip report

I vaguely remember that ocean party dinner at the Grande, but somehow I don't remember going. Don't tell me I ditched you guys when you tore yourself away from Pete to have dinner with Olivia and me!!!

Re: OchoRios - Danielle's trip report

DOlly
You went back up this is the time you were in the ocean messing up the eco system with your body heat. Remember.....
Oh this is reallly reallly good. keep it coming

Re: OchoRios - Danielle's trip report

Man, Dolly did you forget?? The celebration/banquet thing was where there was entertainment, the fire guy, the juggler, the guy who put a chair on his head, etc. The whole time we were there I was wondering if Pete was going to join us. And YES I did leave him for you guys, and I can't believe you don't remember that!!!!! I guess you were thinking of someone/something else too!! Remember it was near the ocean by the beach and there were all the liitle booth type buffet tables with the jerk chicken, pork and all the other food, remember the Italian b-day party??
Yeah, you are laughing now....
Remember??? [img]/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Yeah Danielle you tell her....Girlfriends.....Sometimes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Daniellebaby]

Re: OchoRios - Danielle's trip report

After I walk away from the car where Pete dropped me off, He calls to me that he is definitely going to come back for me later, if he doesn't see me at the entertainment thing tonight, he will be looking for me around 11, and we'll go to Magaritaville. I smile at him and say "that sounds great". He smiles back and winks. I turn away. I am wishing I stayed with him. It's too late, I would look stupid running back, so my pride keeps me from doing what I really want to do, call him and tell him I can change my plans to spend time with him. I'm not sure whay I am having this attraction to him, but not only do I feel attracted to him physically, he is also very intellegient and not the typical "player" that I have been meeting lately while I have been here. There is something about him, and I'm not quite sure what it is, I just have this desire to be with him, especially now that I am feeling more comfortable with him. He was such a gentleman, and I know I could have had a great time with his friends and him.
I sigh, and slowly walk back to our room. I open the door to find Olivia trying on different outfits for dinner, and Dolly just getting out of the shower.
I look at the two of them, and say "You guys aren't even ready, I thought the plan was to go to dinner at 7." They both say "What's the rush?" They don't understand what I just gave up for them. I am dissappointed and a little upset. I really should have went with Pete. Man, why do I always try to be the "good girl", and never break plans with friends? I tell myself I need to be more daring, well, I have a bit on this trip, but I always have my guard up...oh well, what can I do now?
I slump down on the bed and start playing with the T.V.
Dolly comes over and I ask her how her afternoon went. I asked her what they ended up doing. She told me of their walk and how much fun she had seeing the "real jamaica". I told her of the phone call I made and the bet I made with Pete about how she should have been back by 6, and she wasn't. She laughed and said she was "sort of back" I said I was now indebted to Pete (because he was "right" she wasn't back in the room on time), and who knows what he'll want in return for winning the bet...I was making a big deal of the whole thing and Dolly was apologizing... [img]/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] I told her I was just bugging her, and was just making her feel guilty...you know the things girls do to eachother!!
She asked me what Pete and I ended up doing. I told her I was a little freaked out at first when he told me we were going for a ride in his car, but when there was another couple there I felt more comfortable. Dolly and Olivia said he seemed like a pretty nice guy, and that was nice of him to have some friends come along.
I told her that we went to some shops and I got to know the lady and that she was originally American, etc. Then we went for drinks, etc. I also told her I was invited to join them for dinner and wasn't able to go with them, because I promised her and Olivia that we would go together to this entertainment thing....I think she could tell I was dissappointed.
She said, "oh, we're sorry...are you guys going to go out later?"
I told her and Olivia that he was MAYBE going to come to the dinner thing, if he could make it afetr he had dinner, or if not he was going to come look for me around 11.
Olivia looked at me and asked where we were going, I said he had mentioned Margaritaville. Olivia said, "oh that's great, do you think he'll mind taking us all and giving us a ride?"
I didn't really have that in my plans..but said "I'm not sure, I guess we'll see"
Olivia took that as a yes, and got all excited about going out again tonight. I figured, and hoped Pete wouldn't mind just taking us all together, it didn't mean we all had to stay together all night, right?
Well, we finished getting ready, and I had to change into another outfit, heaven forbid anyone sees me in the same outfit as I was wearing this afternoon!! I freshen up and we went down to the courtyard area where this big party thing was supposed to be.
It was pretty packed, as we were over an hour late!! But we found some seats, and watched some of the performers. I looked around to see if there was any food left and there were employees filling up big trays on the little wooded tables that were all along the beach area. As I was looking around, who do I see, our Italian friends..there were about 10-15 of them sitting at a table. They were obviously having a great time, and appeared to have had a little too much to drink. A couple came up to our table wrapped their arms around us and gave us plates of cake. From what I could understand with their broken english, and slurred words, it was one of their birthdays, and I think they wanted us for a present???
I could not help but laugh, these guys were too much. I didn't really feel like cake, but they insisted so I took it, they were talking away, but I couldn't understand much of what they were saying.
I think they were blocking some other guests view of the stage, so they were asked to sit down, they smiled and waved and said something about seeing us later. I think they were having a private party or something later and wanted us to join them, oh well. I sat there for a bit and at the back of my mind I wondered if Pete would come there, I thought that would have been really nice. I waited around for a bit more and watched all the performers do all kinds of crazy things with fire and stuff. We then decided to go check out the food, we were starving. I got up and walked around the tables to see what the choices were tonight. I grabbed some food and sat down. I wasn't really hungry. My mind was on other things. Dolly was in her own land too. I knew what she was thinking about. I couldn't help but wonder what was happening to us here, really should we get so caught up in a little attention from some guys we just met? [img]/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] I vowed not to get too attached, because it wasn't a good idea. Yeah Danielle keep telling yourself that.
After the entertainment was over, Olivia wanted to sit in the lobby and get some drinks while we waited for Pete to take us to Margaritaville. I was really hoping he wouldn't mind that my friends were coming with us.
We sat on some couches and lounged around and got some drinks. Dolly was thinking about Paul and wondering if she would see him again. She called him from the pay phone and told him we were going to be at Margaritaville tonight. He said he would meet her there. She was happy again and looking forward to seeing him.
At exactly 11:00 I saw Pete walk through the entrance of the resort, I wondered how he so easily got into the hotel, while poor Paul had to meet Dolly at security, I have to ask him later.
He walked up to me and I told him to have a seat. He sat down on the seat beside me. I told him he could sit BESIDE me. He smiled (Oh GOD) and said he wasn't sure if I would be ok with that...OK he's playing the "shy guy". I liked it.
He sat beside me again, but this time really close. I liked it, I snuggled up next to him and asked him if he wanted a drink. He said "Not yet"
Of course he looked at Dolly and Olivia sitting there with me and Olivia asked him if he would mind giving them a ride. He said "no problem"
I looked at him and said "I hope you don't mind" He shook his head and said "as long as you are with me and I can spend time with you, it's ok" We sat around for a bit longer, and Olivia was telling him how she was not having a great day. She was upset that Dolly had Paul, and I had Pete, but she didn't really find anyone that she could "hang out" with. She started going on and on...I think she may have had a few too many paralyzers, because she began talking A LOT. we kept telling her to be quiet, Pete was beginning to wonder about her. I think she might have scared him a bit. He looked at me , and I shruged. I hope he wasn't going to be upset for having her with us!!
He made a comment that he knew what Olivia was all about, and he had figured out Dolly, she was "into" Paul, but he couldn't read me. I was too smooth. Was that a compliment? I have to admit I was playing it pretty cool and everything. I didn't want him to think I was some easy tourist....
We got to Margaritaville and we walked around a bit. Dolly was looking around for Paul, and she couldn't find him. You could tell she was down. Olivia went on the dancefloor for a bit, and Pete and I sat down. He wrapped his arms around me on the benches near the ocean. It felt so good. I was really liking this. I held his arms on me, and pulled him closer. He gave me a kiss. It was nice. With the warm breeze blowing off the ocean, and the music playing, I was completely drifting away. It was only me and him there. I just relaxed and took a deep breath. I looked around. Dolly was sitting beside us all alone. She was depressed, Paul hadn't shown up. Olivia returned and announced that she was bored.
We decided to leave and go back to the hotel. Pete grabbed my hand and we walked out of the club onto the boardwalk. As we were walking towards the exit, guess who is standing there...Kevin. Kevin #1, yep the crazy one. He approaches us and is yelling something at Pete, I have no idea what he is saying. I try to pull Pete away, I really don't need to have any more confrontations with this guy. Pete stops for a minute says something back to him and then we walk away. He looks at me and asks who this guy was, and I just shake my head, and say I really don't want to get into it. I know he has some idea, because Kevin had something to do with me running out on Pete the other night. We just leave it at that.
Dolly and Olivia can't believe we keep running into him, they can't believe it..what luck I have!!!
We drive back to the hotel and Dolly opens the door. Olivia gets out, and Dolly says to me and Pete, "Hey why don't you two go for a ride or something?" I look at her with a "What are you doing look?" I look at Pete, he looks at me to see if I was OK with that, and I say "sure"
Now what am I getting myself into? And what the heck is up with Dolly?!! We normally would never let eachother out of sight, and now we are going shopping, for walks, for rides with men we have just met..oh my GOD!!!
I am nervous. Yes I will admit that. but it is a nervous like the time you first met someone you really liked and you have butterflies..and stuff.
Pete decides we should go for a walk, so he parks and we get out and take a walk on the beach.
It is beautiful. The moons reflection on the water, the stars in the sky, the warm ocean breeze. He grabs my hand, and we continue to walk along the shore. He asks me questions about myself and I ask him questions about his life. We talk for quite a while, and I can feel inside that I would like to get to know him better, but there is really not enough time. I am leaving in a few days. I decide not to get myself down thinking that way. I decide to enjoy the moment and the time I DO Have. He squeezes my hand tight, and tells me how he has been looking for someone..someone to talk to, spend time with, and hasn't found the right person. I begin to wonder if that is what he tells all the girls he meets. I ask him about his past realtionships and we talk for a long time. He seems to have been hurt a lot in the past. Hey, haven't we all? [img]/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
I am feeling more comfortable with him and enjoy being close to him.
I am totally relaxed now. We walk along the beach and into the courtyard area, where the dinner was earlier that evening. I tell him I was there waiting for him at that table. He is surprised and says he wished he would have come there then. We walked around to the little wooden tables, it is pretty quiet there and fairly dark. He picks me up and places me on the table and stands in front of me. He puts his arms around me and holds me. I have to admit, I was enjoying his touch. He caresses my back, arms and then starts breathing on my neck, and running his fingers through my hair..oh no not again, I am completely engulfed in the moment. I am breathless as his lips touch mine. We kiss and I love the taste of his lips, his tongue is so soft. I enjoy the feeling of the warm breeze, the feel of his body pressing up, against mine. He presses himself harder up against me. My arms are wrapped around him and I pull him even closer. The stars are sparkling. I close my eyes. I can hear he waves rolling onto shore. He holds my face and looks into my eyes and says "I want to make love to you" My first instinct is "no..." but I can't get the words out of my mouth. The world is spinning the brezze is blowing and there we are on the buffet table......
I am completely oblivious to the few workers around cleaning up the area. At first I can't beleive what I am doing, but I can only descibe it as loosing myself. I didn't care..besides no one knew me here right? Amazingly no one bothered us, or stopped us, it was fairly dark, so hopefully the whole resort didn't see us.
After, we sat around for a bit and held eachother.
We kissed some more, and I could have stayed there in his arms forever. I loved this place. Making love under the moonlight with the stars and the warm air and the ocean, it was something you would dream about..and I lived it.
I didn't want it to end, but it was getting late and we were both tired. We walked back through the courtyard, and into the hotel. We kissed and he left. He whispered into my ear he didn't want this to end, and he was going to keep me here, I smiled. He said he was going to try and spend as much time as he could with me. He was going to call me tomorrow. I turned around and walked away. I couldn't look back. It was like I was in a dream, and didn't want to wake up.
