Something Beautiful

Chapter two

The next morning I woke up to two pairs of brown orbs staring down on me. I smiled awkwardly. "Good Morning love, get some rest ?" The man greeted. "Yeh" I replied. I sat up and observed the two. The man when had brought me here looked about fifty. He was tan, and friendly looking. He wore a loose t shirt and some khaki shorts' the boy next to him was extremely handsome. It was almost unreal. "What's your name darling?" The man asked. "Delani" I replied simply. "Delani..." He mumbled, barely mutable. "Well I'm Don and this is my nephew Zayn" he said. Zayn smiled and held his hand out. I took it and politley shook back. His hands were large and rough. Exactly what you would expect from a sailors nephew.

"Come and eat love you must be starving" I nodded in reply. I gladly took the granola bar and orange juice they Gave me and thanked them. I had never been treated like this before.

"If you don't mind me asking, what happened last night?" Don asked.

"Its a really long story" was all I said. He nodded and realized that was all I was going to say. Zayn had left then room after had said hi. I'm guessing they live on the boat so they probably have there own rooms.

"Well Delani, you're welcome to stay here as long as you want." He said cheerfully.

"Thank you so much" I smiled and got up. I wanted to do a little exploring. I climbed the spiral stare case that led to the top of the boat. That's where I found Zayn. He was staring out at the ocean. The waves crashed up on the side of the boat making it rock slightly. Zayn turned around and smiled when he saw me.

"Do you have any friends around here?" He asked suddenly. I thought it was an odd question, and I felt a bit like a loser knowing that I didn't have any friends.

"No..." I replied

He raised his hands back behind his head and stretched, I'm guessing he was surprised.. He was showing off his perfectly toned stomach. No. I was not admiring a guy. I can't. Not anymore.

"Come with me then" he spoke, snapping me out of my thoughts.

I followed him down the ladder, off the boat and down the dock to wherever he was going.
