Telling Zoella Goodbye

Chapter Three

While we waited for the drinks to come, Alex and I laid out on the pool floats and laid there to tan. The guys played a game of volleyball between them.

Finally there was a knock on the door. Since I was the only one who wasn't in the pool, I went and answered the door.

"Hello miss. I have your drinks ready." the room service guy said.

"Thank you," I said grabbing the tray. "How much do I owe you?"

"$5.00," he said. "And instead of you giving me the money, I'll put it on your charge account."

"Oh okay. Uh, hold on. Let me go get the card." I said, he nodded.

I saw him looking me down and up, out of the corner of my eyes. I rolled my eyes. "Ah, here it is." I said turning back to him.

I handed him the card. He saw my ring. "Oh you're engaged." he signed.

"Yea as of the time I got on the boat." I smiled, looking at it.

"Oh you were that couple everyone is talking bout," he said.

"Yea. I guess we are."

"Yea should see the stuff that is for the couple." he laughed while swiping my card. "There is a ton of stuff coming your way."

He handed back my card, "Have a great trip and great time on this lovely cruise." he said walking away.

"Thank you." I said as I shut the door.

I walked back to the pool area and sat our drinks down on the table.

"Finally they're here." I said picking up my drink.

"Finally!!" the three of them exclaimed in unison.

They got out of the pool and I handed their drinks.

We all walked over to the hot tub and sat down in it. Luckily our hot tub has the view of the ocean and part of the water slide. We sat there for a while and watched the floats go by.

"Wow! These drinks are good!" I exclaimed.

Kyle raised his glass and said. "Friends Forever!!"

"Forever and Always!!!" Alex, Link, and me cheered. We all clinked our glasses together, and relaxed.

What felt like hours went by, when we finally got out. We looked like old people, our skin was all wrinkly. We laid on the lounge chairs, Kyle laid down first and I laid with my back against his legs. Alex and Link did the same thing. We talked for what felt like hours. We heard a knock on the door. I got up and answered it.

"How may I help you?" I said opening the door.

"Hello ma'am. I brought you some extra towels." the guys at the door said handing me a stack of towels.

"Oh thank you." I said. "Bye."

"Have a nice trip. Hope you enjoy yourselves." he said turning and started walking away.

"Thank you."  I said closing the door.

I walked back to the pool deck and sat down on the chair in front of Kyle, he wrapped his arms around my waist and leaned me back to where I was laying on top of him. We laid there for a while enjoying our drinks and watching people go by on the slide that goes around the entire ship.

After about another half hour, I looked at the clock, that hung on the wall, just inside the room, the time was 5:30 p.m. "Dang." I exclaimed softly.

"What... what's wrong, babe?" Kyle said leaning up.

"Its 5:30 p.m." Their eyes widened, Link and Alex jumped up and said, "We need to go eat before the lines get long for the restaurant. Or do you want to eat at the cafe?"

"I want to eat at the Restaurant." I said. " But if yall don't want to, I'm okay with it since we have time to eat at all the places on the boat."

"No we can go to the restaurant. Which one do you want to go to?" Kyle asked looking at me.

"I don't care where do you want to go?" I asked Alex and Link. 

They shrugged. I rolled my eyes. They laughed. "Why don't we just go to one of the bars?" I asked. "Since no one wants to make a decision."

Kyle gave me a weird look, like the concerned look mixed with an aggravation. I shrugged, and looked away.

"Hey Zoe, can I talk you you in the bedroom?" Kyle asked me. I nodded. "Excuse us."

We walked to the bedroom and Kyle closed the door. "Hey what's going on with you?" he asked.

I looked up at him, with a sad expression. "I don't know. I have been feeling really bad lately. Well ever since we got on the boat, but I figured it was sea sickness. So I ignored it."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Kyle asked grabbing my arms gently and pulling me into his chest. I breathe deeply and the scent was his amazing cologne. 

"I didn't you to worry, I mean I see how much fun you're having and I didn't want to ruin your fun."I frowned.

We left the bathroom and we all went to eat.
