Finally, after months of anticipation and envisioning yourself on the deck of the cruise ship you had heard and thought about so much, you stood before it. You looked upward and scanned the massive ship, and you felt as if you were going to fall backwards. You couldnt get the thought out of your head that you would be living on it.
Soon it was your turn to cross the gangway and step onto the ship beginning your seven days of sunbathing, snorkeling, fine dining, entertainment and paradise.
"Good evening." greeted a stewardess. "Welcome to the world's most popular cruise line."
Her navy blue suit had been pressed and her hair was pulled back tightly which added to her crisp appearence. The collars of her blouse underneath her jacket hung down close to a gold pin. It stated her name and that she was from Spain which would explain her accent.
"Here." she said as she handed you a pamphlet, smiling pleasantly. "This is a detailed map of the ship."
You smiled back and took the pamphlet.
"Thank you."
You stepped aside to wait for your family and unfolded the map. The ship had twelve stories and in those twelve stories were restaurants, pools, a steam room, sauna, sushi-bar, pizzeria, disco, casino, salon and a showroom. You found that you were now in the lobby. You lifted your eyes and let them wander around the lavish decor. Floral carpeting was spread across the room and furniture was scattered all over, facing a stage where a piano rested. There was a staircase that led up to the next level and the banisters and railings were lit up by glass flowers with bulbs in the center. The glass elevators were moving from floor to floor and were also bright with flowers. Everything seemed to glow.
"Whoa." breathed Kevin who had been standing beside you. "I hope our room is this good."
A light flashed and you turned to see your little sister taking a picture.
"This one is full." she said. "Where is that other camera?"
"We just got here! What could you have possibly taken thirty pictures of? you demanded.
"The ship, and those people who were in front of us and the stewardess and-"
"We dont have another camera." you lied.
"We do to!" she shouted. She was about to explain how you were lying when she was cut off.
"Our rooms are 1285 and 1287." informed your mother as she headed for the elevators. 'C'mon and pray that we got one with a deck."
Katie quickly forgot about your lie and caught up with your mom and you and Kevin followed behind on the marble path.
To reach the rooms you and your family had to go up six floors in the elevator and trek down a very long hallway. With the help of your map, you all found the room. They read 1285 and 1287; neither of them were on the outside of the ship so there were no decks. Your mom inserted a key card, which each one of you had and the light turned green signaling it was open.
The room had two beds with an in table between them on the wall. A T.V. was across on a shelf and there were closets to the left. The bathroom was close the door and had a very nice shower. The sheets were downy and the pillows were surprisingly soft. This was where you, your sister and your mom would stay and your brother and father got the next room over. Everyone explored the rooms and began unpacking.
It was four o'clock when they began letting people board the ship so it was near dinner. You skimmed through your clothes and picked out a black strapless dress. The top's fabric was ruffled and it stopped at the waist for a mesh-like fabric to flow to your knees. You had black heels to go with the dress and they gave almost more to your figure than the dress did. Your let your hair down to flow over you shoulders, you had always gotten compliments about your hair, how silky it was and that it had such great color. You usually did not wear makeup since you had natural beauty but tonight it was for show.
"You look lovely." your mother said proudly.
You and your family strolled across the lobby, cameras flashing as people posed in their formal wear. You saw the restaurant and also saw that it wasnt open yet. You decided to wait in line when you felt something pressing on you and it seemed to cover your entire body. You whirled around and locked eyes with a young man; he made you hold your breath. He wore a black tuxedo which suited him well. He was tall and lean, but you could see muscles that defined his body. His hair was dark and came close to his eyes which were studying you as if trying to figure out what you looked like underneath your dress. He kept staring. Had he not realized that you had found him out, he did, and he didnt care. He wanted you to know that he was looking at you. His mouth curved to a smile.
"They are opening the dining room." your father said.
You turned and walked toward him and your family.
After dinner your family wanted to go see a show, but you declined and headed for your room. You pressed the elevator button and waited for one to take you to the 9th floor.
Suddenly, a firm hand grabbed your wrist and spun you. You came face to face with the same guy as before.
"Why didn't you smile back at me?" he asked teasingly.
You tried to pull away but his one hand had too strong a hold.
"What do you want?!" you shouted.
Before you knew it he had you against the wall and his lips came close to your ear.
"I want to feel you underneath me." he whispered.
Ew! Don't tell me that! *rates high and messages*
How about on top? *rates high and messages*
If I smile now can we just forget all about this? *rates high and messages*
Aaaaahhhhh!!!!! Why didn't I go see that show?! *rates high and messages*
The farthest elevator sounded and both of your eyes flashed to it then back at each others. You darted for the elevator and he was quick to follow. Once inside you repeatedly punched for the doors to close and they did, just not fast enough and he managed to slip in. "Don't touch me." you warned, which only seemed to make him want to more, so he could see what you would do. He walked towards you and stopped within inches from your body and you turned your head as he leaned in close to your face. He waited untill you looked at him to speak. "I'll make a deal with you." "You must spend every evening with me on the ship and on the last night you choose whether or not to have sex with me." What?! Have sex with him? You thought that you did'nt hear him right or that he wasn't telling the truth but his face and words did not falter. He said it so bluntly, not make love with him, just sex. The doors parted and he slowly backed away so you could leave all the while watching at you, almost amused by your expression. You stepped over the gap and crossed onto the 9th floor. You whisked around to face him. "What if I don't want to?" you questioned. "Well, if you don't we'll say goodbye, but..." The doors were closing. "You might change you mind by then." His smirking face was covered by the elevator and you were left to stand there wishing the last five minutes were not real and that you were heavily intoxicated. What made him think you would change your mind? Plus, you never even accepted his deal in the first place. You didnt even know his name, and he didnt know yours or your cabin number, so how did he expect to find you? He could'nt. You laid the problem to rest, you would just have to watch out for him and make sure he could'nt find you. Will you see him again? Will you spend every night with him? Will you change your mind? Keep on reading if you want to find out! Thanks for reading and please rate!
His breath brushed against your lips and you gave him a confused look. A deal? What kind of deal could he possibly make with you?
