A Summer Thrill

Chapter 17

Victoria

I didn't know that staring at the sea for too long helps to keep you at ease, and that's exactly what I was doing for the past hour and a half and I felt calm again. The music playing through my headphones did little help but at least it blocked out any voices or noises from outside the room. I was bored so that's what I did but than I started to feel lazy so I took a quick nap and when I woke up and looked out the window near my bed, the sun had cast a warm golden glow inside the room and on the water outside, making it sparkle.

I checked the time on my phone and saw that it was twelve noon. I stood up and yawned and stretched my arms, I feel like I could use a shower right now. I grabbed my towel from my suitcase and walked out of my room. I don't even know where the bathroom is so I'll just have to look for it myself. JB's room, the one across from mine, has it's door opened and right before I could walk past, something caught my eye that made me stop to turn around and look. Or rather someone.

Call me creepy for staring at someone in their room, lying in bed with no shirt on looking like a hot model waiting for a photoshoot to take place. I was in a trance, just by staring at his lean body and muscular biceps and the tattoo on one side of his chest made him look even more attractive. Damn, why did he have to be so hot?! No, why did all of them have to be this hot and good looking?!

When I finally realized what I was doing, I snapped myself out of it and started walking away. I mentally scolded myself along the way. Shit Victoria! No more staring for gods sake. I nearly bumped into someone when I turned into a corner and when I looked up, I rolled my eyes when I saw that it was just Alan with a bottle of water in his hand.

"Going somewhere?" He asked before taking a sip from the bottle. Now that we're up close, I noticed the tattoos on both of his arms.

"Just looking for the bathroom." He wiped his lips with the back of his hand and points behind me.

"That way. Your friends are enjoying their sun tan or whatever outside, you don't wanna join them?"

Sun tan? First they were freaking out about leaving the city and now they're enjoying themselves outside?! Seriously what is up with this two.

"No thanks." I turned around and started walking towards the bathroom.

When I opened the door, my jaw drops open in surprise. Even the bathroom in this yacht had it's own luxury taste. The bathroom vanity was occupied with all sorts of bathroom products and the shower was in a huge glass cubicle and the tub on the side has a big window right next to it that when you take a bath you'll be looking out the window and see the deep blue sea outside. Amazing how gangsters can even afford to enjoy all this. And here I thought they're all guns and crimes.

I took my precious time to shower, enjoying the feel of the warm water sprinkling all of over my body and luckily for me I found the strawberry shampoo that I normally use, here in the bathroom amongst the other showering products. Mine ran out all of a sudden and since we're all caught up in this dangerous situation, I actually don't have the time to be thinking about buying a new shampoo.

After showering, I wrapped the white towel around my body and flipped my wet hair over my shoulder and than left the bathroom. Staying on the same boat with three males and not knowing them that well to tell if they're perverts as well, really bothers me right now because my room is on the other side of the hallway so walking there naked under a towel is a troubling thought.

I kept looking around, hoping not to run into any of them while walking as fast as I can to my room. Right before I could open the door and walk in, JB walked out of his room while putting a shirt on making me stop with my hands tightly gripping my towel. He stared at me for a minute and than briefly let his eyes wander down to my body before looking into my eyes again.
