Jasmine POV
I woke up, rubbed my eyes, and checked my watch.
10:50.
I'd slept almost two hours more than I usually did!
I looked over to my right, where Anthony slept peacefully.
Then I cursed myself, remembering what I'd made him do for me.
He hadn't slept in the waiting room, or in the plane, just for me.
I pressed a gentle kiss to his cheek and decided I would go get him breakfast downstairs.
I leaped off of the bed and quickly went downstairs to get some food for Anthony and I.
When I came back to our room, Anthony was rubbing his eyes and his hand was fumbling across the other side of the bed. I supposed he was looking for my hand.
I set down the tray with food, sat down next to Anthony, and reached for his hand.
He opened his eyes and looked at me with his warm, inviting eyes.
"I'm sorry I didn't let you sleep yesterday, Anthony"
With his thumb, he gently rubbed my cheek and said, "It's okay, Jasmine. I care for you, and I would do anything for you"
I smiled and asked, "Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yes"
His eyes strayed towards the tray with food.
"I brought you breakfast, to make up" I said.
He grinned and said, "You didn't have to, but okay"
He sat up and I put the food tray in between us.
We immediately started eating, but he never took his eyes off of me.
He ripped a strawberry biscuit in half and held up a half to my mouth.
I slowly took a bite and resisted the urge to laugh. Anthony would sometimes get so sweet with me... but feeding me?
We have officially surpassed the level of weird.
Sensing my thoughts, he said, "What? I'm feeding my little girl"
I nearly choked, on both biscuit and laughter.
We touched our foreheads against each other's for a minute, and then we continued eating.
When we were done, it was about 11:15.
"We should get up. We leave for Key West at 4:00, later today, on a boat"
"Okay"
I took the tray, set it aside and grabbed the first thing I saw in my luggage: a turquoise dress, which I would wear with my bathing suit underneath.
Just when I ran into the bathroom, I saw Anthony pull out his clothes from his bag.
I quickly got dressed (somehow), and was about to get out of the bathroom, but I got a scary feeling Anthony wasn't finished getting dressed yet.
But me being Jasmine Cephas Jones, I came out of the bathroom anyway.
And I was right: Anthony wasn't finished yet and he was shirtless.
I screamed and ran back into the bathroom and locked the door behind me, blushing ever-so furiously.
I heard Anthony laughing somewhere behind me, and I said, "Stop laughing at me, Anthony Ramos!"
However, I did a bad job in covering up my own giggles.
Thank goodness it was his shirt we were talking about, though!
If it had been his pants than I probably would have fainted in horror.
After a minute or two, he said, "Come out, silly! I'm finished"
I peeked out the door and saw Anthony fully dressed.
I got out of the bathroom and growled at him, and he growled back.
Then I viciously grabbed his curly dark brown hair and pulled him into a short kiss, although what I really wanted to do was slap him.
When I broke away, he whispered, "I have a vicious girlfriend"
I let go of his hair and laughed.
Then he took my hand and led me outside so we could enjoy the few hours we had there.
We decided to go to the boardwalk, which was very close, and when we arrived, it was 11:45.
He bought me ice cream first. Or more specifically, an entire banana split.
"Anthony" I complained.
"What?"
"You've already used too much money on this trip."
"And?"
"And what?"
Then he took my gently took my face into his hands and said, "Can I not spoil my princess?"
I was going to answer, but his face was so close to mine, that it tickled when he spoke.
I couldn't keep my laughter together, and I ended up laughing while he tried not to smile.
Even his breath tried to tickle me.
Then I accidentally started snorting, and he said, smiling, "What are you laughing about?"
"Even your breath tries to tickle me! And.. I can't stop snorting!"
And quite, I couldn't. The lady at the register stared at me, so I tried hiding my face into Anthony's chest.
"Oh, my breath tickles you? How about I bring reinforcements?"
"No!"
"Reinforcements, you are dismissed. I'm sparing my princess... for today"
"For today?!?"
"Yes"
I rolled my eyes and said, "Anthony, I absolutely hate you."
"And I absolutely love you"
He gave me a gentle side hug, and then we finally started eating the ice cream, which was now a Neapolitan mess of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream with whipped cream and a huge banana.
12:30.
After eating our ice cream, we decided to just go to the beach.
Just before entering the sunny side, Anthony asked, smiling, "Do I need to keep my shirt on?"
I punched him on the shoulder playfully and blushed.
"I wasn't expecting you to be shirtless!"
"Well since I'm telling you now, with warning, can I take my shirt off?"
I blushed redder and said, "Fine. But stay away from me!"
I shuffled away as he started to take his shirt off. I took my own dress off, revealing my lavender bathing suit.
However, two seconds later, I felt Anthony right next to me.
I growled just loud enough for all of America to hear, and walked knee-high into the ocean water.
The water was cold, and it didn't help that Anthony started splashing water on me.
"Hey!" I exclaimed.
I grabbed some wet sand and threw it at him.
The sand hit him on the right side of his face, the side I mostly used to kiss his cheek.
"Jasmine!"
I started dying of laughter as Anthony started walking towards me.
He hugged me around the waist with one arm and splashed water on me with the other.
"Anthony!!!"
He laughed, kissed my wet hair, and then let me go.
I walked back to the surface of the water, dragging his hand along the way.
1:00.
"How about we just walk on the sand instead of trying to murder each other with it?" he asked, smiling.
"Says the person who just tackled me with water!"
He laughed and took my hand.
We walked together, holding hands, until our feet hurt.
2:50.
"We should go now, so we can have time to pack up at the hotel"
"Okay"
Just before leaving the boardwalk, though, he bought me a small cup of orange juice, while he got mango juice.
"Why mango?" I asked.
"Because I love mango. No more than I love you, though"
I rolled my eyes, laughed, and continued drinking the orange juice.
Once we were at the hotel, we quickly got our things and got on a taxi.
Eventually, we arrived at the port, where a large boat was waiting for us, along with a few other people who had gotten there early as well.
We paid the guy at the taxi and boarded the boat.
