Friends & Paradise

Chapter 42 - A Night In Heaven (Natasha's POV)

Jason and I left our room, and we went to our friend's rooms and called them out for dinner. The six of us, then, walked to the dinning table on one side of the living room. The table was set outside on the boat, overlooking the sea and up was the clear nightsky filled with stars.

I took a seat on the table next to Jason, who was sitting in the head of the table. Amelia and Aaron sat beside me, and Danielle and Ralph sat beside them. The waiters brought our dinner, and low music was played on the speakers that were integrated in the pillars separating the living room from the outside area where we were. The dinner tonight was Chicken Parmesan, and we were served mineral water in our glasses.

"So, how are you guys liking this boat?" Jason asked, during the dinner.

"It's amazing. I can't believe your family owns something like this." Danielle said.

"It's not really surprising, I mean, he's like super rich since he's one of the owners of the Atlantis." Amelia said.

"That may be so, but man this boat is sick." Ralph said.

"I'm glad you guys like it." Jason answered.

"So, what do you have planned for tonight?" Aaron asked.

"Well, I was thinking of maybe spending tonight each in our couples, you know? Like alone time with each of our girls."

"That'd be fun. Well, I have news to tell you guys, but I don't know if Amy here already told the girls." Aaron began, and then put his arm around Amelia, who giggled. I have never seen my best friend do that. It's just...a little weird. It's kind of like seeing a sister talk about her boyfriend, or my mom talk about a new fianceé, which thank God hasn't happened just yet.

"Tell us what?" Ralph asked, confused.

"Amy and I are an item now." Aaron announced proudly.

"You are?" Jason asked, surprised.

Aaron and Amelia nodded.

"Finally! If you could only know, Amelia, how much this guy over here has been chasing after you, you'd be surprised." Jason said, as he pointed his finger towards Aaron.

"Why? Tell us!" Amelia encouraged, while she grabbed Aaron's hand.

"Well--"

"I think she doesn't need to know the full story." Aaron jumped in, trying to defend himself.

"But I want to know the full story. So tell it!" Amelia said.

"Well, it all started when him and I went to go jet skying with him and he told me he thought that Amelia was really pretty and started telling me how he kind of liked her. Then, we talked more, and a few days later he actually told me that he really did have a crush on her. That's why we helped you two have that awesome date you had tonight. But I'm glad things worked out for you." Jason said.

"You had a crush on me from the very beginning?" Amelia asked.

Aaron blushed, and then said, "Yes. I always had."

She smiled at him, and hugged him.

"So, may I say the same thing about Danielle and Ralph over there?" I said.

Danielle blushed. "No, there isn't really anything to tell."

"Oh, but there is. You see, Ralph, she never forgot you." Amelia said.

"Okay, guys, I think he gets it." Danielle said.

"She never forgot you, and was super jealous when she saw you with Cindy the other day." I said.
