*Chapter Twenty Two*

            We went up to breakfast and I was feeling better than I had in months. I spotted Tony and headed over, dragging Nicky with me.

"Hey." Tony said, standing up and hugging me. "I was worried about you last night." He said.

"Sorry-I fell asleep." I said and he nodded.

"That's fine-as long as you're ok." He said. I smiled.

"This is my boyfriend, Nick." I introduced, smiling at calling him my boyfriend. "This is my friend, Tony." I said. They shook hands.

"This is my brother, Mikey, and his fiancée, Rachel." He introduced. His brother shook my hand, but she just smiled politely from her seat.

"Well, it was nice meeting you, we're gonna go eat breakfast." I said. We headed back for our table.

"She seems like a bowl of peaches." Nick said and I laughed.

"Yeah-Tony doesn't like her very much, either." I explained.

"I can see why." He laughed as we sat down. We all ate breakfast and Nick looked at me.

"What?" I asked self-consciously.

"You ok?" He asked. I nodded. I was still tired, but I could sleep later. We had docked at another island and we were going to go walk around.

We finished eating and headed off the ship and to another boat to take us to the island. We all walked around for a little while before we went our separate ways. Joe went with Emma, Kevin went with Ashley and I went with Nick. He pulled out his cell phone.

"What are you doing?" I asked, peering over his shoulder.

"If Kevin can ask Ashley out, Joe can ask Emma." He said. He text Joe.

"Leave the poor boy alone." I said, laughing.

"As soon as he asks her out." He said. We passed the hammocks and I dragged him back. We climbed into the same one, just talking. I closed my eyes for a few seconds.

"You ok?" He asked, gently touching my cheek.

"Yeah, just a little dizzy." I said. I could feel him watching me. "Stop." I whispered, smiling.

"Stop what?" He asked innocently.

"Staring."

"I just wanna make sure you're ok." He said quietly. I kissed him lightly.

"I am." I could tell he didn't believe me. "I promise." His whole mood changed. I could feel it in his grip on my hand and the way he was breathing. I opened my eyes, squinting against the sun and saw Brittany standing over us.

"You left me for her?" She asked haughtily.

"Yup." He said, smiling at me. "I like her better." He said and my face flushed.

"Nicky-I'm sorry-please just come back to me." She whined.

"It's Nick. And I wouldn't leave her for anything." He said and I smiled big.

"You mean that?" I asked, looking at him. He nodded.

"With everything I have." He said and I smiled, kissing him. He wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer. Brittany screamed angrily and stormed off.
