Living With One Direction

Chapter Twenty One - Splashing Dolphins With Dylan And One Direction

I so couldn't wait to get off this fricking boat! So eager I was the first one in the water with the boys respectively following behind (even though Zayn was slightly terrified! I was so proud of him for conquering his fear of water!) - They also knew about my parents’ boat accident I didn't mention it before.

We went into the water and one of the dolphins came over to Dylan. His name was Zach. Dylan got us all to stand in a line and treaded water. I'm an excellent swimmer but you don't need to be a good swimmer to swim with dolphins, you just need to be able to swim in 12foot deep water and be able to swim 15 yards. So anyway, we swam out 15 yards Dylan explained to us how to react with the dolphin when it swims up to us. The key was no not jump or scream when they would come up to you as that would set them off. The classic was Harry jumped straight away when Zach came over!

"Don't flinch whatever you do!" Dylan said in a calm manner.

"He's about to fucking attack me! I can't just stand there!" Harry said jumping up and down franticly.

"Hazza, LOOK! There’s a shark right there. Omfg it’s out to get you!" Louis squealed swimming back.

"Where?! Dylan help me!" Harry shouted jumping even more.

"Louis you’re so mean to Harry! What happened to the bromance you shared?" Dylan laughed as he got the dolphin to swim somewhere else.

"Harry cheated on me on a night stand; I have no trust left in him!" Louis cried.

"Who with?" Dylan teased back.

"HIM!" Louis growled pointing to Zayn.

"Can you blame him? I'm irresistible!" Zayn laughed.

"And this is what I live with!" I laughed.

"You live with them? I thought you were only writing a book." Dylan said.

Uhoh. "She's spent a few weekends with us and plus this is how these idiots behave on holiday and she is living with us here!" Liam said covering up. Life saver!

"Where not all idiots!" Niall added.

"No not at all!” I laughed.

Throughout the day Dylan showed us tricks to do with the dolphins. He seemed to be really nice - even Louis was getting along with him nicely, strange seeing you’re ex boyfriend and your current boyfriend getting along. We learnt many tricks such as using our fingers to make shapes and the dolphin would copy you. Amazing! I got my finger and made a circle, and Zach would copy it. They are very smart! The dolphin waved, made farting noises, and swam around. Dylan then told Zach to kiss me and he did! I put my hand out and he would kiss it. You could tell he was a charmer with the ladies! The six of us then put out hand out and Zach swam over putting his head on our hands - he seemed to like it when you tiggle his nose! So sweet!

Next we got to ride the dolphins. You had to hold one hand on the dorsal fin and the other on the side fin; the dolphin would then swim along with you - they are able to pull up to 1,000 pounds! Crikey! How much is that?! We then sat back on the boat and went back to the dome platform. I seemed to have forgotten about the fear of boats; my mind was too busy being impressed by the smartness of dolphins!

We went to the changing rooms where we showered and changed. It was coming close to five and the dolphin show was going to start soon.

"This I'm excited to see!" Liam said walking to the outdoor restaurant which had a view of the dolphin show. I was surprised Niall wasn't complaining about eating considering we had an easy breakfast and had a little snack at the dome.  

 All the dolphins swam to the middle and did a show. They swam doing back flips, twirls, some mad ass flips in mid air, singing, and doing beautiful poses – it was magnificent!
