Stranded....With A Twilight Star

Girl Overboard

I'm awakened the following morning by the alarm I had set last night. I groan and roll over, reaching my hand over and moving that around until I hit my clock and shut the alarm off. I lay there for a bit, until I realize it. Breakfast with Taylor. I wonder how he's going to keep the girls away from him. How are we going to have a day to ourselves with all the fans on the boat? All these questions were running through my mind on how the day was gonna go. But I shook the thoughts from my mind as I dragged myself out of bed and over to my things, rummaging through them to find clothes to wear today. I first find a swimsuit, because I figured with the pool on the boat, that may be one of the things we do today. Once I have that, I pick out my clothes and I get dressed, before going into the bathroom to fix my hair and do my makeup. I make sure everything is perfect, before walking out of the bathroom. I slip into my flip flops before checking the time. Just in time to go meet Taylor for breakfast. I do one last look over my outfit before heading out. 

It wasn't as crowded as last night, probably because everyone was still sleeping. After coming out of the room/cabin area, I make my way towards the restaurant where dinner was served last night. When I get there, I look around and find Taylor waiting at a table. I smile to myself and walk up to it. 

"Hey." I greet.

"Pearl. Hey. Please sit." He motions to the chair and I do so. 

"I just want to thank you for inviting me to breakfast. Don't get many of these opportunities."

"It was my pleasure. How'd you sleep?"

"Pretty good actually. You?"

"I slept good. Last night was fun, but we're gonna have even more fun today."

"Oh I hope so. I'm all set for the day. Got a swim suit on in case we decide to use the pool later. I'm prepared for everything."

Shortly after that, menus are brought to us to look at. We thank the waitress and she heads back to the kitchen. 

"Oh and you can get whatever you want, it's on me."

"Oh no, you don't have to do that."

"I know I don't have to, but I want to. It's the gentleman thing."

"Aww, thank you." I grin, looking back over my menu, shortly deciding on what I wanted.  Taylor soon finished with what he was deciding on getting. The waitress soon returned and we gave her both our orders.

"So tell me about yourself Pearl. From what I didn't already find out."

"Well for starters, I'm 20 years old, born in March."

"Really? Born in 92 right?"

"Yup." I nod, trying to hide the fact that I basically know everything about him.

"And in March. I was born in February. Almost a month apart. That's a rare occasion."

"Isn't it? I moved out to LA to try and pursue my acting. Which is why I was telling you all about yesterday. I'm working hard, I'm trying to get auditions. I know the risks and everything it takes to make it in the acting business. I've just watched so many movies and TV shows that I've always wondered what it would be like to be in one of them. And I have to confess, even the Twilight movies."

"Oh really? Which role do you think you'd be great as?"

"Bella. I've been into the whole vampire/werewolf thing for a while, and I've read the books, I can relate to her. You know funny story...people say I look like her...er..well, Kristen. I really don't see it but other people have said I look like her."

"Hmm..." He studies me for a moment. "Well maybe not Kristen herself, but Bella...Kristen as her...I can see that in you."

"Well it's gotta be true if it's coming from you right?" I smile.
