"Okay so guys make sure you get on carefully and try not to slip", "I'm bringing the banana boat closer so you guys can get on safely" Khloe instructs us. Wow for the first time, she said something kind of nice.
Khloe jumps in the water and grabs the banana boat and swims back over to us.
"Who wants to jump on first?" Khloe asks.
"I'll go first" Hannah volunteers and makes her way towards the boat. I observe her as she climbs on the boat, I need to get on safely because I don't want to become a laughing stock.
"Who's next to jump on?"
"Sophia over here, volunteers to jump on my banana, isn't that so princess?" Of course such a stupid remark can only come from Alex. He has managed to remain silent for a while and now he comes out with this... Great!
"You physically want to make me sick" I retort.
"Do I make you THAT lovesick babe?" Alex does his usual cocky smile which I hate but I do like at the same time.
"Sophia!!!" Khloe interrupts, "Are you coming on next or what?" For once, I do not blame Khloe's frustration, it must be really annoying having someone like Alex around... Wait...
IT IS annoying to have someone like Alex around.
I step forward, anxiety flowing through my body. Soon, my mind is flooded with negative thoughts, What if I miss the step? What if I get a head concussion? What if I drown and die? I try not to overthink as I put my foot on the foot rest thing, I slide one of my legs over the seat and I finally find security as I sit down.
I release a sigh of relief.
"Mason are you next?" Khloe asks Mason.
"Y—"
"I'm next" Alex interrupts Mason.
"Oh fuck" I mumble.
"Sorry what was that princess? You want me to sit behind you? Oh I would be honoured to".
"Please! Don't flatter yourself Sharpe" I say spitefully.
"Alex just sit wherever, you guys are wasting time" Khloe tells us.
Alex sits behind me, much to my dismay. I can just sense that he is going to annoy me so much and I'm not exactly ecstatic about it!
Mason quickly hops on the back seat and I hold on more tightly to the handles, knowing this boat could start at any second.
"RIGHT GUYS, HOLD ON TIGHT BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO BE THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE" Khloe screams so we can hear her over the sound of the engines of the other boats.
I can hear a snigger come from behind me, I soon realise why. How is it possible that Alex Sharpe isn't going to laugh at a sexual innuendo? I roll my eyes in annoyance in response to his immaturity.
"One night with me princess and you'd have been on the ride of your life" Alex whispers in my ear.
Okay why is this guy extra horny today?? Have his balls exploded or something????
"You actually make me want to rip out all my intestines and organs because you make me that sick!" I sneer.
"Well—" Alex speech is cut off when the banana boat starts. Not going to lie, I jumped a bit because the banana boat started so unexpectedly!
My grip became so tight to the handle that I could feel my nails digging into my hand.
The banana boat was quite fast at first but the speed decreased; that didn't reduce my anxiety levels. The boat was quite squishy to say the least. Either the boat wasn't inflated very well or it's just like that. My guess is the the first option.
