Y/n POV:
I was aggressively shaken awake. "Not the nicest greeting Barnes," I said in a groggy tone. It wouldn't be anyone else.
As I opened my eyes, I watched the blanket roll off of my body and onto the floor, at least somebody was kind.
As I picked it up and began to fold it I heard James yell something back at me "Hurry up. We're leaving in 30- nope 27 minutes." Shit.
I ran to my room and grabbed the first thing that would be remotely appropriate, it turned out to be a cute little sun dress and I wondered why I didn't pack it in the first place. I quickly dashed on some concealer, it was a bit too dark because I hadn't spent much time in the sun recently but I had packed all of my better matching makeup and I didn't have much time to spare.
I grabbed a handbag (and a couple of knives plus a small pistol) before running to the garage with 18 seconds to spare.
James took another 5 minutes.
"You're late," I stated.
"How observant darling," he said before sitting down in the driver's seat. On autopilot, I walked around the car and got into the passenger seat.
"Darling?"
"Oh, I'm sorry. Is that not Ok sweetums?" he jeered. "Look, it's a couples cruise. We have to pretend to be a couple and that's the kind of thing couples do."
"How would you know? You've been single for the last century" I responded.
"We just need to get along for now. Here," he tossed me the file.
According to "our passports" we were Lola (26) and William Miller (30). "I'm supposed to be 26?" I said in surprise
"Well I'm not exactly 30, Honey."
"Would you stop that, Dickhead?" I asked in an exasperated tone. James looked at me, confused. "I'm not your darling, or your honey, or your pumpkin, or whatever the fuck else you want me to be." I half yelled,
"Can you just shut the fuck up? It's going to be hard enough pretending to like you as it is so I'm having to practice now." he replied.
"Well what am I going to call you then? Asshole." I asked. I had not had enough sleep to be dealing with this.
"Not Dickhead, that's for sure." I sighed and rested my head back on the seat. "Just call me Honey, Babe, Sweetie, Fuck. Even just Will will do Lola." he emphasized my "name" so I gave him an eye roll to signify my surrender.
After about 20 minutes had passed in silence, I decided to speak "Can we grab coffee?" I asked.
"No." Well, there goes my last drop of sympathy for this bitch if he irritates me today.
Another 50 minutes later we parked the car in the docks' long stay car park. "Just smile." James said.
"I know what to do." I mumbled under my breath.
We got out of the car and began to walk, arm in arm to passport control, fake smiles plastered on our faces. We got through without a hitch and everything seemed to be going well.
We handed our bags in to be taken to our room (perks of Tony's money) and had a guided tour around the boat, stopping off in front of our room.
"Cabin no. 267. Mr. and Mrs. William and Lola Miller." announced the concierge as we entered our room. Smiling, we thanked him and allowed him to show the other passengers to their rooms.
Immediately my smile fell from my face and I began to dial Tony's number. He picked up. "Tony! What the fuck is this!" I whisper-shouted, not wanting to be heard by the neighbors. "You better tell me you booked another room for him."
"I couldn't, it might give things away. You are meant to be a married couple, did they not give you twin beds?"
"No! They did not give us twin beds!" I said into the phone.
"I'm sorry, Pigeon, but there's nothing I can do..." but I hung up on him before he could finish talking. I flopped onto the bed and felt everything jolt as the ship began to leave the harbor. Now I was really stuck with him.

Tony's POV:
As Y/n hung up the phone I smiled and looked at the others sitting around me. "At least when they get back they should be able to stand each other," I said to mumbles of agreement. "As long as they don't murder each other first," Sam commented.
