Charles had left late morning on Wednesday and arranged to pick me up at 9am on Friday.

See you soon Charlie boy 🫦

I'd packed way more than I needed and packed for every possible situation. I packed party clothes, swimwear, summer clothes. I made sure to pack as cleverly as possible in the smallest bag I could.

Knock knock

Charles came to collect me at bang on 7am and we headed to the boat. "Fucking hell Charles you said a boat! That's like a house on water"

"Carlos sorted it, but my boat is nice to" he smiled

"I've seen your boat, this is a house"

"I know you've seen my boat, you were impressed with it" he chuckled and I rolled my eyes.

We brought our luggage on to the boat and met some of the other guys there including the crew. It was just 4 people who would maintain the boat and help out with anything we needed. "Wolff girl" Max shouted as we walked on board and I pulled a face.

"That is not a name I'll be answering to,... for future reference"

"So only Charles gets a nickname for you" he smirked

"You can have a nickname" I replied, "just nothing to do with Wolff" I winked and headed over to Carlos. "Thanks for letting me join you" I smiled hugging him.

"You're welcome" he said, " so guys" he added looking at the others. "We've got to do some bed sharing. I've put Pierre and Charles, then Lando and Max, in the double rooms and me and Liv have the two single rooms." Everyone nodded and I smiled at him grateful he hadn't put me in a room with anyone. "It's just us for today and tomorrow then we party on Saturday night. We'll head out soon and stay out til tomorrow morning coming back to dock for the party. Then drive round for a while before re-docking at about 1am. That good for everyone?" It was a lot to take in but we nodded and headed down to our rooms.

We'd all settled and had some lunch all together, I sat between Charles and Carlos. I was getting used to the fact it was just us out here, no other girls... but I was fine I never really loved girly girls. Most of the people I hung out with were guys. They talked and joked with each other and I happily sat and watched.

It wasn't exactly known to many people but I actually struggled in these social situations. Although I could be the biggest party girl in a club as soon as the numbers reduce I'd often feel overwhelmed by the pressure of conversations. I'd struggled all my life feeling like I didn't fit in anywhere, so when you're in a small group it's easier to feel like you're the odd one out. After a while I moved from the others and sat on my own for a bit.

"Want to go on the jet skis Liv" Carlos asked coming over to my secluded spot.

"Definitely" I smiled, I had been waiting for someone to bring them up, they were one of those things dad had stopped me going on. I loved the speed they had, I'd spent hours on them when I traveled before uni. There were three to choose from, "want to jump on the back with one of guys" Carlos asked. I shook my head.
