Friends & Paradise

Chapter 10 - Lunch And A Nervous Wreck (Natasha's POV)

After going on a few more slides, we finally made our way to the Lagoon Bar & Grill. This place was really cool. It was like a gazebo made to look like it came out of the water with seashells and such. Surrounding the restaurant, was a lagoon filled with sharks.

My friends and I walked inside the restaurant, and instantly spotted Amber and Amanda. We walked to sit at the table.

"Hey you guys." I said, as we sat down.

"Hey. How was the pool?" Amber asked.

"Great. And the slides were incredible."

"I know, the ones from here are the best." Amanda said. "Which one did you guys got into?"

"We went to Leap Of Faith, The Drop, Challenger Slide, and The Abyss... Basically all of them."

"That's cool." Amber said.

"So, are you excited for your date tonight?" I asked her, and she reddened.

"Date? What date?" Amanda asked, confused.

"A date with a really cute guy named Jeremy." I said.

"You never told me about him. What's he like?"

"He's really cute." Amber said in a quiet voice.

Amanda gasped. "Amber! At what time is your date coming for you?"

"Well, he said to meet him at The Dig and two-thirty."

"That's in like two hours! Ladies, I suggest we have lunch upstairs while I help Amber get ready." Amanda suggested.

"Yeah, I think that'sa great idea. Let's have lunch at our suite." I said.

"Great, let's go!" Amanda said.

We left the restaurant, and made our way to the Royal Towers and then to our suite. Amber and Amanda went to Amber's room to choose what she was going to wear. When Amelia, Danielle and I went inside our suite, we collapsed on the couch. Then, Danielle sat up.

"Nash?" She said.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"You have a date tonight with Jason, right?"

"Yeah...so?"

"Well, are you going to that date with a bikini and unwashed hair that just came out of a pool?"

"Oh my god! I didn't think about it! But mine's at six, so I have time. I'll get ready at four, once we come back from the 'you-know-what'."

"Definitley." Danielle said.

Then, there was a knock on the door. I went to open it, thinking it was Amber and Amanda, but when I opened the door, there was nobody there. I looked around, and then before I closed the door, I noticed a beautiful bouquet of yellow flowers.

"Oh my God." I said, as I picked up the flowers and took them inside.

"What happened?" Amelia asked.

"Look you guys, someone sent me flowers." I said, and then sat down on the couch with the flowers in hand while searching for the card saying who sent them. Once I had it, I read it. It said:

'I couldn't sleep last night because I kept thinking about you. I am really excited to see you again tonight in our date. I'll see you later beautiful. -Jason'

"You have got to be kidding me! This is the cutest thing anybody has ever done!" I said.

"Why? Who's it from?" Amelia asked.
