Time to make more coffee, we got to watch the sunrise as we entered Pittwater, and opposite the Sailing Club, we dropped the jib, and finished the las... few miles under power. We tied up at Jack’s jetty, he had already called Christine to let her know we had to withdraw. She was there waiting for us with a promise of a hot breakfast. We radioed race control to let them know we were safely back in Pittwater, and that we had officially withdrawn from the race.After a nice hot breakfast and. You would've saved my ass, too." I pulled out a soda. "Want one?"She laughed brightly, shaking her head. "If I had saved your ass, I would have demanded a peek."I rolled my eyes heavenward. "Gimme a break, Val," I began ... but when I looked back down at her, I paused. She was, unexpectedly, serious all of a sudden."Seth ... why don't you like me?" she asked earnestly.I looked at her, blankfaced. "What? I like you just fine. I get along better with you than any..."She cut me off. "I know you. " Maybe, but you can't do that to them." Cameron bit her lip nervously."And why not? Huh?" Carter, please." I know you've got a soft spot for the girls, but old pussy is old pussy." Don't say it." Rebecca has certainly been around long enough." Please. Rebecca has been your most loyal girlfriend. Even when Kelly left--" I TOLD you not to mention her name to me. EVER again," I growled menacingly.Cameron lowered her eyes and looked contrite."I get that you and Rebecca are practically best friends. I next called Eric and told him that Tim was coming over to fuck Andrea and if he wanted some he should come over. Lastly I called Mike and said I'm have some guys over for some adult fun if he was free. He said I'll right over. Andrea came out to the deck and saw I had her champagne chilling in a ice bucket. I poured her a glass and put our steaks on the grill. As they cooked Andrea asked me what I was up to tonight. I took a drink and said I just thought since the weather is so nice it'd be.
