Our Sunset

{3}

Carmen's POV
I have finished packing and now I am waiting on Mia to get here so my dad can drive us to the boarding dock. I decided to go down stairs and wait so when she gets here we can just leave.

When I got down the stairs I looked out side to see Mia getting out of her car. I smile seeing her beautiful as ever till my smile pulls into a frown when I see James come from the drivers side. He comes out and comes around to her side. I feel my heart break when he pulls her into a deep kiss. She kisses him back and I can feel the tears threatening to fall but I choke them back. She pulls away to see me watching and giving me an expression I can't make out. She sends him on and walks to my dad's car to put her things in it. She turns around to see me still looking at her from the door frame. She walks to me with a now visible sympathetic expression.

'Car look I-' I cut her off 'don't worry about it, let's... just pretend nothing happened between us the other day okay? I get it, and it's for the best anyways... he can give you so much more anyways.' I said while getting into the car, not giving her time to respond.

We made our way onto our ship and towards our room. When we got in there I see that dad didn't think to get a room with two beds, because there is only one. I don't even ask I just gather some sheets and things out of the closet and make a place for me to sleep on the floor.

'What are you doing Car, you can sleep in the bed' she said while picking up the pillow I just laid on the floor. 'Look you may not feel anything for me, but I do feel strong things for you and have for a while, so there for it is not a good idea for me to sleep in the same bed as you.' I said and not meaning to sound harsh but it did.

'Who said I don't have feelings for you Carmen' she said just able for me to hear. I felt my heartbeat speed up. I pushed the tears that were about to fall back and went for the door. 'You did Mia, you showed me you didn't the second I saw you two still together. I am not mad, I am actually kind of relieved. I am relieved that I won't be able to ruin your life, I won't be able to fail you because you'll have everything you need with him. Honestly if you are happy, then that's all the matters.' I said and opened the door. 'I'll see you tonight, I am going out.' I said before shutting the door and not giving her time to respond.

I made my way around the ship as the sun began to set. I was watching the sunset on the side of the railing when I felt a presence beside me. 'Well if I new cruises had girls like you on them I would have taken a cruise vacation a long time ago', a soft raspy voice said. I turned to see a beautiful girl with sun kissed skin, and glacier blue eyes beside me. 'Hi, I'm Alex... Alex Morgan' she said while offering me her hand to shake. I smiled a warm smile before shaking her hand 'Carmen Jay' I said once we released.

Mia's POV
I am not trying to play games with Carmen, I know my feelings for her are real. I don't mean to hurt her, I am just scared. I want her so bad and want to be with her so bad, but I don't know if I can take it. I have so many friends that are against me being bisexual, I have never been with a girl so it has never really mattered, but now. I just don't know what to do, I love her, but I just don't know.

I laid in bed for hours waiting on Carmen to come back, and she never did. I decided at 10:30 I was going to go find her. I got up and left our room to look for her with a pounded headache.

Carmen's POV
I have been talking with this girl Alex for almost two hours and I must say, it has been so enjoyable. I am not usually good with meeting new people, but she is really nice. She has listened to my life stories and problems well all of them but the one about Mia.

'So are you said you're on this trip with a friend?' she asked while sipping from her wine glass. 'Is this friend your significant other or did you leave them at home?' She asked.
