I packed two days before for the cruise. I couldn't wait! I wasn't going to do school this week. I was just going to enjoy.

"You ready for Miami?" Sal asked.

"Yeah. So excited" I said.

"Same. It's going to be so fun. Let's get to the airport" Sal said.

Sal called a taxi to pick us up. We put our bags in the trunk and then went to the airport. We got to the airport and had breakfast. Hours later, we were boarding the plane.

"You want window or edge?" Sal asked.

"Window" I said.

"How about you sit on the edge? I might get noticed. I want to be relaxed now" Sal said.

"Okay, but why did you ask?" I said.

"Seemed like the nice thing to do" he said while sitting down.

"Haha. I'm going to sleep" I said closing my eyes.

"Jo. We're in Miami" Sal said while shaking me awake.

"Okay" I said.

Sal grabbed our bags from the overhead compartment. We got off of the plane and went to the airport to get our luggages. Afterwards, we took a taxi to the hotel.

"Murray! Open up!" Sal said knocking on the hotel door.

"We're sharing a room with him?" I asked.

"It's only for one night. We're leaving for the cruise at 5 am tomorrow. It's 8 pm right now. Let's go to sleep once he opens this fucking door. Murray!" he said.

"Sal! I was showering" Murr said when he opened the door.

"Sorry, bud" Sal said while walking in.

"Guys don't bother unpacking. It's only a night. Save the clothes you brought for the cruise. Plus the hotel gives you pajamas" Murr said.

"That's cool" I said.

There were two beds and a couch in the room. Murray got one of the beds since he was there the night before (he also payed for the room). Sal got another one of the beds since he was too big for the couch. I got the couch. It was actually the most comfortable thing I've ever slept on.

"It's cruise day! Wake up sleepy heads!" Murr screamed.

I checked the time on the alarm clock. 5:00 am. We had to leave as soon as possible.

I changed to clothes I brought for the cruise. It was hot so I wore a black tank top and a high rise mint green skirt. Sal and Murray wore a t-shirt and shorts.

We took our bags and luggages to the dock. The cruise was huge. It looked like the most fun cruise there ever was.

"There they are!" Joe said.

"We've been waiting since 6 am! It's 7 am and you guys just got here. Whatever. Just come check out the cruise!" Q said.

All of us ran onto the cruise. It was nicer on the inside. We had our own private section for cabins. They were called "Grand Suites."

"Here's your room, Joe. Bessy and Milana are already in there. James, this is yours. Sal this is yours and Brian you are right here" the cruise director said.

"Come on in, Jo" Sal said to me.

"Oh she gets her own room" the director said.

"Seriously?! That's so cool" I said.

He directed me to the room that was right next to Q's and across from Sal's. I walked into the room. It was beautiful. It had two bedrooms, a kitchen, a spa room, and a bathroom.

I hung out in the room for a few hours until Bessy came knocking on my door.

"Hi, Bessy" I said.

"Hey, honey. The guys all went to set up a little. Do you want to come hang out with Milana and I in our room?" she said.

"Yeah. That would be great" I said.

She led me to her room which was not far at all. She opened the door and Milana was on the floor playing with a stuffed monkey. Bessy picked her up and handed her to me. Milana started squishing my face. I put Milana down on the bed.

"Bessy? Can I ask you something?" I said.

"Of course. Anything" she said.

"One night, Sal screamed out in his sleep that he has to tell me something and I need to know. On New Years, he was so drunk and he told me that he can ruin my life by telling me this. He told Q, but none of them will tell me. Do you know anything?" I said.

"Jo, if I knew anything I would tell you. This seems like this is something that gets Sal upset, so don't say much about it. He probably won't tell you. Let me give you advice. Just let it go for now, wait for him to tell you" she said.

"Thanks, Bessy" I said. I was still going to try to find out though.

"Guys! You have to check out this karaoke place!" Sal said when he barged in the door.

Bessy grabbed Milana and we all followed Sal. We went downstairs, down a few hallways, and eventually, we found the karaoke room. It was a huge dance floor with a circular stage in the middle. After we tested microphones for karaoke, we checked out the ship. We saw the auditorium where they would perform, the indoor pool, the lobby, the Q & A panel room, and basically the entire ship.

At 11 am, it was time for passengers to board. All of us stayed in Joe's room while everyone was boarding.

At 1 pm, everyone was settled in. The guys held games at different places. I followed Sal around for a few events and then went to eat with Murray. Hundreds of people surrounded him asking for pictures.

At 7 pm, there was an awesome dance party. The music was loud, and there were about two hundred people there. I was dancing with Q, and the other guys were dancing with fans. I felt bad for Bessy. She was upstairs taking care of Milana.

"This is awesome" I screamed over the music.

"I know! I didn't think I'd enjoy the cruise this much" Q said.

"Ye-" I cut myself off.

I saw Leo, dancing just a few feet away from me. I walked over to him.

"I didn't know you were here" I screamed while hugging him.

"Well, here I am. What's your room number? You wanna hang out?" he said.

"It's in the Grand Suite section. Come with me" I said.

I led him up to my room. A few people said hi to me on my way up.

"I never asked you how old you were" Leo said.

"I'm 14 turning 15 this year. How about you?" I said.

"16 turning 17" he said.

"Oh. I didn't know you were older" I said walking into my room.

"Yeah. I get that a lot" he laughed.

We sat on my bed. I leaned back onto my pillow and motioned Leo to do the same. He started telling me funny jokes and tickling me.

"You know, Sal is gonna kill us if you're in my room" I said.

"Then we have nothing to lose" he said kissing me.

I took off my skirt and my tank top. I somehow had a matching bra and underwear on. He took off his t-shirt and then got undressed completely. Then, I also got undressed. He started to kiss my lips and neck.

"Are we seriously doing this?" I asked.

"If you want, Jo" he said.

"I want" I said kissing him even more.

He rubbed me and then we went under the covers. He went inside and it felt amazing.

After our little scene we were both lying in bed together talking. Soon after, I heard a knock at my door.
