My New Best Friend

Chapter 45

Sheryl

Hanging up the phone I felt a little guilty, krys was still sleeping like a baby, but I'd promised to go out with dad and nat so I had to get up and get dressed. I normally had a quick shower in the morning but as I had some time to spare I ran myself a hot bath.

Thinking about the night before I was a little confused, I mean sure krys and I would flirt but last night we took

It just a little bit further than usual. It was crazy because before Krystel I had never even thought of a girl in that way, but I guess there was just something about krys. Don't get me wrong, the idea of being in a relationship with her scared the crap out of me. Not because I was scared of what people thought, more because it was new to me. I decided that I'd just wait and see what happens between us, if its meant to happen then it will. No point in worrying about it now though because she'd just split up with Emily and the last thing I wanted was to be the rebound girl.

"Hey ariel, you nearly finished in there?" Dad shouted through, he called me that since i was kid because I loved being in the bath so much.

"Yeah dad, just getting out now!"

Pulling the plug I got out, dried and changed. I just tied my hair back in a loose pony tail, I want too bothered about it today because we were going out on the yacht today. One of my dads beat friends who is quite well off had a fancy yacht, and let him borrow it whenever he wanted. I did tell dad to just take nat and have a romantic day out but they both wanted me to come along.

"Oh she's ready! You don't need breakfast, we're taking food with us"

"Ok dad" I smiled, grabbing my phone I was ready to go.

..

We were out on the boat by 11am, we couldn't of wished for a better day, the sun was shining but it wasn't ridiculously hot.. You know when it's so hot you just keep sweating. I couldn't stand it when it was like that, every chance I get when it's like that I had to have a wash down, I was so paranoid about smelling. I carried baby wipes in my bag everywhere though, I wasn't taking any chances!

Dad was getting right into his sailing role, maybe taking it a little too seriously, Nat and I just found it funny, all we were hoping for was a bit of a tan!

"Girls, don't you want to learn how the yacht works?" Dad shouted over.

"No honey, we have you for that" Nat laughed.

"So how's things with Krystel? How's she doing?"

"Yeah she's alright, Emily is finally out of the picture so that's good. She'll be fine"

"Course she will, she has you"

..

At lunch time we had some lunch, dad cracked open some champagne too.

"What we celebrating?" I smiled.

"Just celebrating spending some time with my two favourite girls, is that alright?" He smirked.

"Sure, if there's champagne involved you carry on"

We had a laugh, it was nice the three of us together. I was so happy that dad met Nat, he spent so much time alone after my mum. A few dates here and there but nothing ever came of it. I think he was scared of getting hurt, at one point he had thought my mum was the love of my life. There was a point in my life when I wished they would get back together but you soon realise when you grow up that maybe it's for the best they split. Anyway now he had Nat, and I think she's definitely the one for him.

Checking my phone, I thought krys might have text, I was right.

{hey, hope you're having a good day? What you doin? Xxxx}
