My wife Mayla was from Brazil. Her parents came to Florida when she was young and that’s when we became best best friends. Her parents didn’t really like me because I was white my mother told me when I was older. I think they saw us together playing all the time and eventually got over it. I was 5 and she was 4 . We lived on the same street. I asked her to play which she said yes but she was naturally just a shy person. She was always laughing at me though . I loved her with all my heart. All throughout high school we never really had many friends and people always thought we were losers. We never wore the coolest clothes in fact, I wore my father’s clothes since we were both the same size and she wore her older brothers hand me downs which were way too baggy on her . The day we married we looked goofy too because again we wore borrowed suits, ties, and a wedding dress. But none of that mattered because we were marrying each other. I had a best man which was her brother but unfortunately her one female friend she had couldn’t make the wedding . Now we are 24 and doing a little better . We can at least afford clothes. We both worked at Publix Groceries . I was a cashier and she stocked shelves.

There were other people our age that we worked with. People never liked me there though. They always laughed at me and stared. But if Mayla was around they didn’t mind me. She was very shy though so it took a lot to make her talk. Two girls, Raquel and Ana, that we worked with got close to her though. They were Hispanic too. They were nice to me. They were closer to each other than they were to Mayla probably because they were single and Mayla was married to me.

One day Raquel came up to me and my wife during lunch and told us that another girl we work with, Thata, invited us on her boyfriend’s father’s boat for a whole weekend. None of us were rich by any means but Thata was dating a black boy who worked at the restaurant next to our work. His father I guess owned a few restaurants. Mayla was a little nervous at first about saying yes because I had to work but I told her I would take off. She argued that we didn’t have money and were saving to move out of my mother’s apartment but screw It. I’ve never been on a boat. So we said we will be there.

Mayla bought some bikinis cause she hasn’t been on a beach in years . One was a leopard print top with a yellow bottom and the other was a blue top and a black bottom. Only problem was her body is kinda big. Her friends Raquel and Ana were a lot less curvy. Same with Thata. I don’t think anyone has seen my wife in a bikini or a swim suit since we were k**s. Even I haven’t seen the bikinis on her yet.
