Cruise & Bruise:- A Nancy Drew & Hardy Boys Fanfiction

7| To The Harbour

A/N:- Sorry for interrupting, but the poster is kinda revealing about this chapter, in Nancy's point of view. I'm not gonna tell any longer, but I guess you get the message ;)
Tell me how you like it?
And sorry once again. ❤
*****************************

Joe's POV:-

" Frank, why don't you admit it that you love her? " I asked for about the hundredth time, crossing my arms above my chest. We brothers were waiting for Nancy outside her house, ready to go to the harbour. And my stupid elder brother rambles about how beautiful Nancy looks, how beautiful her smile is, blah blah.....

" What? No, it's too early for love. I... I may have a.... Umm.... Feeling for-"

" Are you crazy?! This is just a feeling? Get a grip, bro. You love her; a lot. Stop acting like an idiot and tell her before it's too late. " I yelled at him, just as Nancy walked out of her front porch. " What's wrong? " She asked, noticing the frustrated look I had on my face. " Nothing, let's go. " Frank says even before I can open my mouth, possibly guessing I was going to spill the beans to Nancy. Because believe me, if I would have got the chance, I would have spilled it.

The entire car ride was silent. Frank was taking a short nap, Nancy was reading a book and I was scrolling through my phone when Mr. Whatever-his-name-was-I-have-forgotten informed us that we reached the harbour. We quickly got out of the car and looked at the beauty in front of us, with our mouths hung low. Well, Frank and Nancy were admiring the 'beauty' of the cruise, while I was gaping at the girl talking with a few other girls of our age. She was incredibly beautiful.

Brown curls, emerald eyes, pink cheeks, plump lips, slim but not irritatingly slim, with a soft yet beautiful smile etched on her face. Who was this beauty? For she sure as hell looked like a princess.

Am I falling for her? Yes.
Do I regret it? No.

" Wow! " Was all I could manage to say, barely above a whisper. Frank didn't notice that I was not complimenting the cruise, but the girl in front of the cruise, but Nancy did. She grinned cheekily at me, wiggling her eyebrows, before saying or rather, teasing me, " Wow, this is so beautiful! Don't you think, Joe? " I glared at her while she struggled to stifle her laugh. Little did she know I was going to reply.

" Of course, I love it so much! It looks just like The Titanic. " Well, I was not talking about the cruise resembling the Titanic but the beautiful girl resembling Rose.

" Poor Joe, the Titanic is here, you may be the Jack, but sadly there's no Rose for you. " Frank said, clearly unaware of my situation. From my peripheral vision, I noticed the girl struggling with her suitcases. I grinned like a goofball before replying, " Maybe I HAVE a Rose. " Saying that, I ran towards my Rose to help her.

Nancy's POV:-

I couldn't control my laughter anymore as Joe dashed towards the girl struggling with her suitcase. Frank, being unable to understand what just happened, asked " What the hell did just happen? " I grabbed his hand, dragging him towards the cruise ship while explaining everything. As I finished, I noticed we were already in the main atrium with many other crewmembers. I looked around for Joe and the girl and found them laughing at something Joe said a few distance away from us.

Ever since I held Frank's hand, there were butterflies in my stomach. Hell, there was a whole zoo making a chaos in my stomach. Where from is this feeling coming? Surely, I'm not-

No, no. I don't love him. It's too early for love. Besides,he only sees me as a sister and a friend, not a lover, right?
But what about the thing Joe said?

He likes someone like you.

Shaking my head,and pushing all these ridiculous (but somewhat awfully exciting) thoughts aside, I went towards the man collecting the cruise cards and gave them our cards. He gave us our cabin numbers and keys and just as I turned around towards Frank, I felt someone push me towards the railings, and whisper in my ears, " You're sooooo beauuutifullll." Drunk. Eww.

" What do you think you're doing? " Frank asked, as he grabbed the man by his collar and wasted no time in punching him hard in the face, before turning towards me and asking with his voice laced with concern, " Are you alright? " I nodded, unable to speak, hugging him tightly, as ge reciprocated my tight but warm embrace with a slight smile at the corner of his lips.
(Don't ask how I know, I could just feel it)

At that moment, I understood one thing. I don't what I am to Frank, but he is my friend, my brother, my saviour, my hero and most importantly, my crush.
I really really like Frank, a lot.
