Flora's POV.

"Can you now tell me what the surprise is?" I whined as we stepped onto the ship.

"You are very impatient." Gilbert laughed.

"But it's a four day trip, you're not going to make me wait four days, are you?"

"I am."

I immediately threw my head back. "Nooo...."

Gilbert only chuckled as I held Delphine in my arms, while Bash carried his own bag and mine as well.

"Can you believe him, Bash?" I looked over at Sebastian, who had a questionable look on his face.

"I'm getting a seperate room from you two, right?" He asked instead of answering my question.

"You want a seperate room?" I asked him.

"Oh, dear God, yes." He said excited.

Ouch.

"Rude." I mumbled, dragging my suitcase into the ship.

"I just want a good nigth sleep." He answered back at my comment.

"And we're stopping you from having a good night sleep?" Gilbert asked him.

"Do you want me to tell you what I heard last night?" Bash turned to the both of us. Gilbert and I both shut up when he said that. Dear God. "My goodness, children nowadays." Bash mumbled to himself and showed the security his ticket and I passed Delphine to Gilbert so I could show my ticket to the security guard.

Delly laughed in Gilbert's arms as if she understood the whole conversation, which only made me and Gilbert laugh as well.

"Flora." I turned at the sound of my name coming from a sweet voice. Gilbert looked at me wide eyed.

"She just said your name." He told me. I finally realized. Delly said my name. She just said her first word ever. And it was my name.

"Bash!" I call out, my eyes still on little Delphine.

"Yes?" I hear his voice.

"Say it again, Delly." I tell her softly. Bash comes up beside me, his expression very confused. "She said my name." I mumble, a smile appearing on my face.

"What?" Bash's eyes shoot up in excitment.

"She said my name! She said her first word!" I exclaim. I smile at the sight of Delly's grin and my heart warms when she says my name for the second time.

Bash looks over at me, his eyes bulging out of his head with excitment. "Good job, Delphine." Bash takes his daughter into his hands, walking with her into their room beside mine and Gilbert's.

"She's adorable." I leaned into Gilbert's side as we entered our own room.

"She really is." He put his suitcase down as I put my down as well.

"I get memories from being in this ship." I sit on the bed.

"You acting like a dipso?" He laughed.

"Not funny." I gave him a stiff stare.

"I'm sorry. It's not funny." He turned away from me, hiding his smile.

"STOP!" I shoved him away. He only laughed more. "You're being mean."

He sat on the bed beside me, kissing the side of my head. "I love you."

"Thanks."

"Hey! That's mean!"

I laughed at his reaction. "I love you too." His smile always made my heart swell. It was a feeling like everything was going to be okay. One of the only things that made my day. And his eyes. Oh, God. His eyes were perfect. I could get lost in them forever.

"Earth to Florence." He snapped his fingers in front of the face. What a way to ruin the moment.

"You want to go to the bar?" I asked.

"Absolutely not! You are not going back to that bar after what happened last time!"

"Watch me." I said, squinting my eyes at him. I very slowly took small steps towards the door before making a run for it. I ran as fast as I could, but Gilbert was right behind me, chasing me down the hallway. I ran through the hallway and made a harsh turn to the right. It took Gilbert a few seconds to register that I had turned, so I was a few meters ahead of him.

"Florence!" He shouted. I turned around, only for a second, and pointed the finger at him.

"Shove it up your bumm." He mouthed and I gasped in shock, turning around to keep running.

"You have no manners!"

"You're the one who pointed the finger at me!"

"It was well deserved." I was starting to run out of breath. I can't run. I'm not ashamed to say it. There's not really a day that you'll catch me running. "I'm getting tired."

"Stop running."

"No!" I refused to give in. I was going to win. I have way too much pride to stop now. Stumbling into the bar, Gilbert finally reached me. A smile of victory lied upon my face. I turned to Gilbert. "Kiss... My... A-"

"Don't say it." He cut me off.

"Don't cut me off." I scolded.

He pointed the finger at me.

"Shove it up your bumm." I used his own words against him, making him laugh.

I reached the bar, panting and sweating from the 30-second run, and looked up at the bartender. My eyes widened.

I really can't seem to escape this man.

"How are you, Darling?" Mr. Phillips questioned, a small smirk on his lips.
