*Chapter 5*

We head out. I am really surprised at how excited Rosemary is about going out to this damn boat. But she truly is excited. I am glad that I had suggested it. We really haven't talked about what ship I rode in on. It seems like the whole idea is to grab up a Sailor and gave a good time... What a concept. I can't understand it, but here I am. Having the time of my life. And this ain't my first time "Down Under"!!!

As she drives to the pier, we continue our story swap. This woman has been everywhere!!! She has been more places than I have and I'm in the Navy. She's got a nice car. Her clothes surely aren't of the bargain basement variety. She hasn't mentioned work or school... I decide take the plunge and ask.

"Rosemary", I say questioningly.

"Yes, Love", she replies, placing her free hand on my thigh and squeezing.

I almost melt. I actually forget what I was going to ask her. Oh... That's it... I remember now. "Rosemary? How do you do it? You're not in school or working. You've been all over the world. How can you afford to live like this?", in inquire.

"Well Love... It's simple. My Dad owns the largest cattle ranch in this region. And my Stepfather is just rich as hell!!! So ya see... No worries mate!!!", she exclaims proudly as she whips a wicked assed right turn that centrifugally pulls me toward her. She faces me and gives me a quick kiss as I bump into her. She let's out squeal and then chuckles.

I think to myself, "Damn!!! It don't get no better than this here". I laugh as well. I lean into her and whisper in her ear, "Spoiled brat".

As I am so close to her, she whips around and kisses me again. Then she really let's the laughter flow. Rosemary replies as a matter of factly, "Between my Dad and Robert, I'll probably never work a day in my life".

I sit back and try to imagine. I just can't wrap my mind around it. Never having to work and having whatever you want. Why then has she picked me. There are 10,000 Sailors in town. She could have literally had whomever she chose. Why me??? Hell... Why worry. Just enjoy it. This could get interesting. I smile to myself.

She pulls into the carpark, finds an open space and parks. We jump out and run to board the ferry which appears almost full. Now knowing that this nothing compared to the V I P status that she normally experiences, I find her excitement even more puzzling.

We proceed to the head of the line, foregoing the endless line of sightseers. Once aboard the ferry she pulls me to the bow, the most forward section of the ferry. There aren't any seats available so we lean against the railing. She looks as if she doesn't have a care in the world. What am I thinking... She literally doesn't get any better than she has it. Again I try to imagine.

"Tell me about America, Babe", she says as she leans back into me. "Where are you from? Where have you been? What's it like?".

I tell her about my country assed hometown and the places that I have been. She listens intently. I tell myself that she is just playing nice. The trip out to the ship doesn't take long. I guess it's the good company. I am mesmerized. It just keeps getting better with her. Nothing like this ever happens in my life. I must be dreaming... I don't want to ever wake up. I hug Rosemary tightly. She wiggles around to face me.

"I am so excited", she whispers into my ear.

"Why?", I ask.

"Because. Most people never get out to the carrier. And usually they don't even come here. We usually only get to see carriers on the news as they pass us by for Sydney. Our ferry pulls aside her. The tourists are awestruck!!! I remember my amazement the first time I saw her big decrepit ass. I feel no love for her at this point. She is just my first sea duty station.

We step from the ferry unto the mobile pier platform. The sea is quite calm but its small size responds to each ripple that bounces off of the ship and ferry. Rosemary hangs on to tightly as she wobbles as if drunk. I feel a surge of pride as I have been at sea so many times that I have my sea legs. I look up and see some familiar faces. The guys from my shop who have had duty on the first day in. Once off of the mobile pier Rosemary's footing is much surer. Still she hangs on to me.

"What's up Brown?" I hear the voice of one of my friends, Curry. "I thought you was just going to hang out on the beach. If I remember correctly... What was that you said yesterday? 'You fools won't be seeing me for the next seven days!!!'. What happened? You forget your socks?" Laughter erupts all around me.

Rosemary quips,"He's only here on my behalf. I begged him to bring me out. That and the promise that I made him to do whatever he wants to me for bringing me."

She winks and kisses me on the cheek. The laughter erupts again. My chest puffs up to almost exploding. I don't say another word. Rosemary has spoken for me. I walk off with her clinging to me.

"Where are you taking me?!?!" Don't we have to stay with the tour?!?!" Rosemary asks as if she was afraid that I might get in trouble.

"Your with me Baby...
V I P... All the way. Let's go." I say as if I were the Captain of the boat!!!

I thought that I felt her tingling. I think she almost wet her panties. As we turn the corner to an empty passageway, she wraps around me and kisses my chest. She looks up at me and says, "You know that what I just told your mates? You can do whatever you to me tonight... This is more than I ever dreamed!!!"

I take her to as many places as my Top Secret Security Clearance will allow. Her beauty gets us in a few places that my clearance won't afford. She has the nerves of steel to eat in the galley. Of course they put on their best face when tours are going on. She looked as if she were dining in the five star restaurant.

We spend almost the entire day aboard ship. I had originally figured that we would ride out, take a quick walk around and jump back a the ferry. A couple of hours. Tops... We finally make it back to dry land. I ask, "What now?".

"I really need to check in with Mum. It's been over twenty four hours since I talked to her last. Just to let her know that I'm alright. Then I was thinking of just resting. It's been quite an exciting time, ay?", she rattles. "If
Chico is there, we can go to my place for some privacy. I owe you for the V I P tour of your carrier."

She put the car in gear. Her hand in my lap. And away we went into the evening. At this point am just along for the ride. I have no clue as to what really awaits me...

So... What do you really think??? This is my first time so be as brutally honest as you can. I really need to know what I'm doing wrong... what I'm doing right (if anything)... Thanks for taking time out to read me.
