Ship of love chapter 5

Arya's POV

An hour later I walked back down to the lower deck where Jason was waiting. As I got closer my heart started beating a bit faster because I was nervous of being alone with him.
I seen him leaning over the rails and walked over to him. "Hello Jason" I said. He turned around and smiled "Hey, Arya "

"I hope I haven't kept you waiting too long?"

"No, I just got here a few minutes ago myself" he had two glasses of champagne in his hands. He handed one to me. "Thank you" I said after taking a sip from the glass. It helped calm my nerves a bit.

"Tonight is such a beautiful night. Would you like to take a walk with me around the ship?" he asked.

"I would like that" I said with a smile. We both carried our glasses and started walking.

"So Arya what brings you on this cruise? If you don't mind me asking?"

"No I don't really mind much anymore. The reason why I came is because my best friend Emily made me." he looked a bit confused at my answer.

"Let me explain better. The reason is a bit cliche actually. You see I used to go out with a guy whom I thought was the love of my life for four years. Then three weeks ago I decided to surprise him after coming home early from visiting my family, and when I walked in guess what I saw?" I asked him. He shrugged his shoulders and said "him having sex with a girl" he said knowingly
I shook my head and let out an unladylike snort.

"No, try two women. The rat bastard was having an orgy. I went inside punched him in the face, kicked him in the balls, then I beat the shit out of those two skanks and walked out not ever looking back."

"I'm sorry to hear that" he said sympathetically

"But you know what hurts the most?" I asked

"What's that?" he asked. I turned to look at him with a sad smile and tears in my eyes.

"That he really didn't love me"

"How do you know that? Did he say anything?"

"No, he didn't say anything. That's how I know, Because if he really loved me, he would have followed me or tried to call me and lie his way out of what I saw or try to give me some lame explanation. I mean if you loved someone wouldn't you try to explain yourself to them?" I asked him with tears streaming down my face.

Jason's POV

I looked at Arya and felt a tug at my heart seeing her cry. I felt like finding her ex and beating the shit out of him for hurting her really bad. I pulled Arya closer to me and held her while she cried.

"It's ok honey, you'll find someone better to love" I said. She pulled away from me and smiled sadly .

"Thank you for listening and I'm sorry for getting your jacket wet"

"Don't worry about it. Come on let's continue walking around" I said. She took hold of my arm and off we went.

"What brings you on this cruise?" she asked me.

"My friends thought it would be good for me to take a break from work before I go all hulk on them. It was getting a bit stressful so I didn't mind it too much" she just nodded

"What do you do for a living?" she asked me

"I own a company that breeds horses, train them, and then sell them to clients who race them on the tracks."

"Really, that's interesting do the horses get hurt while you guys train them?" she asked me.

"Do you mean, do we beat them with whips if they don't listen?" Arya lifted her head up and looked me right in the eyes.

"Yes!, that's exactly what I meant, because if you beat them that's called animal abuse and illegal to beat a harmless animal for one and two you're the biggest asshole of them all including your company" she said with fire in her eyes. I laughed softly and said

"I guess your against animal cruelty"

"Yes, I am! A person that hurts animals are animals themselves, they are heartless and cruel and I hope they die" she said raising her voice.

"Well, don't worry Arya I'm not one of those animals and I have a heart. My horses are trained with tender loving care and I don't allow anyone to hurt my horses because if they do then they're the ones going to get hurt." she smiled with relief

"So Ms. Arya what do you do for a living?" I asked her
