The Cruise of Love

Day Five: Paparazzi In Action

"So what happened?" Natalia asked. They were on the balcony of the cruise ship that morning at sunrise.

"Emil hurt me," she embraced herself. "He never took that seriously. Remember when you left, and I signalled you to get out?"

Natalia wrapped her in an embrace. "I'm sorry you went through that situation. Emil was one of the worst people I observed."

She embraced it as well. "Thank you, Nat. You are a great help to me."

"Anything for my only love." She kissed Lett's forehead. "I love you."

Hearing the confession after five days of being together, Lett struggled to speak. "I... don't know, too."

"What's wrong?" Natalia cupped her face, seeing the love of her life upset."

"Look, I want to love you..." she held firmly in her hands. "But I can't love you because my fiancé'd screw me."

"Ex," Natalia corrected.

She shakes her head. "Emil said we weren't over yet. Maybe he was kidding about him breaking up with me. He never took this relationship seriously like I wanted to manifest."

"This is worse," Natalia sighed. "Please, let me help you get out of this toxic relationship that you have."

"I don't know how to do this..."

"We'll figure this out together, okay?" Natalia connected our foreheads and held hands. "Don't worry, babe. I will make sure that I will help you in any way."

"Thanks, you are a big help." She smiled, pressing a kiss to her lips. "That is all I need to keep me safe and secured in your arms."

"Now, what do you want for breakfast?" Natalia asked, still in their old position as earlier.

"I don't need breakfast that is paid for by others; I'm very sorry." Lett blushed away. "I'd feel pity."

"You don't have to worry about expenses because I'll cover it. I'm a so-called 'celebrity', after all," Lett smiled.

Just as they were about to enter their room, camera operators greeted them as they were on their way to Natalia's room.

"There she is! The infamous Natalia!" One camera crew shouted, pointing out their cameras to her and Lett.

Several camera flashes block their way back to their quarters as they try to surpass dozens of camera operators about to interview Natalia. She covered Lett as they were on their way back.

"Is that your new girlfriend?"

"Where is that girl you were dating before? The one with blonde hair?"

"Why are you cheating with your girlfriend?"

"Ma'am, stop ignoring us!"

They were running for their lives; they reached their room just as people would record several pictures in their doorway.

"We are safe," Natalia locked the door. "Are you okay, Lett?"

As she touched her face, Lett answered with worry, "I got injured by those paparazzi. I don't like it!"

"At least you're safe with me." She said.

"Please never let go of me; I want this to last long."

"As long as I'm here, I will love you for as long as I live, Cherryl."
