43.What Happens When The Lights Go Out

Ashton and I got off the boat and onto the smaller boat that would take us to the island.

The small boat was actually pretty fun in itself, but when we got on the island it was so cool! There were a bunch of little shops everywhere and we did the whole tourist thing and went and checked them all out.

We got to a hat shop and went and tried them on. Ashton put one on that looked like Cat In The Hat's. I put a giant pimp hat on. We looked in the mirror and took a picture. I put one on Ashton that had like two fake blond braids and he laughed and quickly took it off.

We also decided to go on speed boat ride around the island. That was about an hour long. It was amazing. We saw sea lions. More dolphins. The seagull rock where all the seagulls decided to poop on it and it's like completely white.

The water out there was so blue. We both were at the front of the boat and he had his arms wrapped around me. It was freezing out there. Especially on a speed boat.

Once back on Catalina and both of our hair a complete mess we went to dinner at a little restaurant. It was kind of crowded.

"Hey Brooke watch." He said smiling.

I looked at him quizzically as he took his plastic spoon and scooped some ice cream. He bent it back and catapulted it into the crowd. It hit a man who had spent too much time in the sun that day. He was bald and it hit directly on the back of his head. He looked around and we both continued eating like nothing happened. He looked around confused and went back to his hot dog.

We burst out laughing. Mature? No. Fun? Yes.

After dinner we had a half an hour before we were supposed to be back on the ship so we went to the beach and took off our shoes and walked around a little, letting the waves wash over our feet.

We found some sea glass and really pretty shells. It was cool. I dried them off and put them in my purse.

Finally we got back on the boat and went to our room. I was so tired, but happy.

I was looking through my clothes bag when I came across something I had completely forgotten about. The lovely present Anne and Theresa got for me. I thought for a second about it. I'm not as uncomfortable about that type of stuff anymore around him. (obviously)

I wrapped them in some other clothes and walked to the bathroom. "I'm going to take a shower."

"Okay. I can't join you?"

"Nope." I said smirking.

He laughed. "Fine."

I walked in and took a quick shower. I wrapped myself in a towel and decided which clothes to wear. Just the lingerie or the shorts and t-shirt I brought in.

I brushed my hair and teeth, and finally slipped on the lingerie. Might as well.

Ashton knocked. "What is taking so long?" He asked. I think he was upset I was taking my time.

"Relax, I'll be out in a minute."

"Can it be like now?"

"Why?"

"I'm bored."

"You're a dork."

"Fine. I'll wait patiently. Why are you even taking your time anyways?"

I whipped the door open. "Because I was trying to look nice. But no I can't even do-"

His lips were on mine and he had me up against the wall. He released me, but still had me up against the wall. He looked me up and down. "You know, I'm glad I waited."
