I woke up in a cold sweat. I looked around and got very anxious and had an urge to get out of the room.
I decided to take a walk around the ship to clear my mind. I quietly walked out of my room, making sure not to wake Mark and my mom.
I closed the door and began wandering around. I didn't have a place I wanted to go to, I just wanted to get out of that small room. (In this story Elizabeth has claustrophobia ---fear of small spaces)
I had so much on my mind, but one thought kept me wondering. Who was that girl? As I started walking out into the open air I snapped back into reality. I was at the bow of the ship. But someone else was there.
I slowly walked over to where they were standing. I stood next to her and rested my arms on the railing. She looked down at me and said, "Hello." It was at that moment I realized she was British. "Hey." I responded. But I felt like I recognized her. "Wait, you're the girl from before, right?" She said. "Yeah." I said. "I never caught your name." She said quietly. "I'm Elizabeth." I said. "I'm Nikki."
Authors note: I'm horrible at this lol. This is my first story and I have no good ideas and I'm not creative. If this gets boring you can stop reading, so sorry about that lmao.
She shook my hand and went back to her pose on the railing. I started to get butterflies in my stomach and I started blushing. I always knew I was bisexual but this was the first time I actually got butterflies from a girl.
"You're beautiful." I said without thinking. Shit! Why would you say that?! I thought. She looked at me and smiled. "Thank you, you're beautiful too." She said with a smile. We both stood there and watched the sunrise.
"Shit!" I said. "What's the matter?" She asked. "My family will probably wake up soon, I have to go!" "Oh, ok." She said almost sounding sad. "I'll see you around Nikki!" I told her. "Yeah." She responded quietly. I quickly rushed back to my cabin, and thankfully my mom and Mark weren't awake. I jumped into my bed and felt my eyes get heavy.
The next thing I knew I woke up. I was in the same small room from last night. All the memories of her came back. I don't know why, but I can't stop thinking about her. It's like she's a drug, a drug that I'm addicted to and can't stop.
I walked out of my room to see Mark and my mom sitting at the dinner table. "Elizabeth! You have been sleeping for 12 hours!" My mom exclaimed. "I guess I'm just really tired." I told her. If only she knew the real reason I slept so much
I never told my mom about me being bisexual. I was too afraid of what she would think. But I've hinted to Mark that I'm bi. I always made jokes about liking the same gender, and I would always say "If one of our family members was lgbtq would you support them?" His answer was always yes. So even if my mom doesn't support me, at least I have my brother.
I snapped back into reality to my mom saying my name. "Elizabeth! Do you want breakfast?" She said. "Sure." I mumbled. I sat down at the table as mom cooked food for me. I sat there in a trance, playing with the silver chain around my neck.
Author note, if you forgot Elizabeth's mother gave her a necklace for her 21st birthday.
I couldn't stop thinking about her. I broke my trance from my mother putting a plate of food in front of me. "Thanks mom." I said. On the plate was scrambled eggs and waffles.
I started to eat but then I felt something hit my face. I looked up to see Mark looking at me with a playful grin. I picked up a piece of my waffle and flicked it at him. We both started flicking food at each other until mom told us to stop.
For the first time in a while I didn't think about Nikki. But still, I wanted to get to know her.
