Dove
Bucky and I walked hand in hand along the beach sidewalk of what I now knew to be his own private land. It still blew my mind that he owned this entire section and not once did I ever notice that sometimes it was only us here.
I just thought it was a portion of undiscovered land people just didn't care about. Possibly because there weren't too many restaurants and the tourists would be keen to stay downtown. Now it all made sense.
"So do I call you Bucky or do I call you Danilo?"
He shrugged then smiled down at me. "It depends. Pa calls me Buck and Pai calls me Danilo. When I'm in trouble I'm Danilo and when I'm in good praise I'm Buck. It's always a push and pull but you can call me anything you want."
I looked down to our feet as we walked then smiled. "I'll call you Nilo when you're cute, Buck when you're neutral, Danilo at the office and Mr Pereira when you're in trouble."
