Luckily I woke up before jackson, I think to myself as I sit on the toilet in the bathroom. I had to pee for the last 40 minutes but i wasnt about to move his arm so i could climb out of bed. I didn't want to wake him. Luckily he rolled over and I was able to slip out of bed. My head is pounding as I grab a disposable cup and fill it with water, reaching into my zipper pouch for a tylenol. Ugh the dreaded hangover. I take the pill finishing the water as well. I remember bringing Jackson back to my room and talking for a bit but I don't remember anything after that. I lean over the sink as the possibilities of last night run through my mind.
I'm still wearing my clothes...so I don't think we did anything too crazy. I quietly sneak out of the bathroom over to my phone laying on the bedside table. I glance at the time and it's 6:33am.
I decide to change into my black high waisted bikini and pull my white cover up over my head before slipping out of my room.
I'm surprised as i make my way to the main deck of the yacht, it appears most everyone has already left. I spot Miley lounging with a cup of coffee her eyes closed.
"Hey.." I say softly not wanting to startle her.
She peeks at me stifling a yawn. "Hi.." She takes another sip of her coffee
"Where's jackson?" She asks
"Asleep." I say as I as it in the lounge chair next to her leaning back resting my forearm over my eyes.
"Rough night?" She asks.
"Yea kinda, drank too much." I groan. "Where's the guy you took off with?" I ask her
"Oh, we had some fun and he left after." I showered and went to bed but didn't sleep much she says with a smirk.
"Gotcha!" I say as I ponder weather I should get a glass of coffee as well.
"So did you all hook up?" She asks quietly as if someone might hear her.
"Uhh..i....not that I am aware of." I stammer.
She tilts her head slightly raising her brow at me. "What do you mean?"
"Well...i think I drank too much, I remember going to my room and sitting and talking...then I woke up and he was spooning me..." I let out a soft laugh as my cheeks turn a shade of pink.
"Damnn girl..." Miley says laughing softly.
"Wander if Sarah and Alex hooked up?" She asks
"Well I didn't see him laying anywhere so he's either in her room, or in the guest room. I guess we will know soon enough." I say as we both sit watching the sunrise.
The next couple hours go by fast as Miley and i talk about what is planned for the day. We plan to set sail and do some scuba diving this afternoon. I have never been scooba diving and have always wanted to do it. Hope the guys are up for it. The last of the guests leave and I realize Miley is gonna be kind of the 3rd wheel. Hope she doesn't mind I think to myself.
"Hey guys!" Sarah says as we both look up to see her approaching us. She too has her bathing suit on. Alex following close behind her. Yep guess that answers our question!
"Where's jackson?" Alex asks as he plops down on the seat next to me, Sarah settling down onto his lap, her arm draping accords his shoulders as she plays with his hair at the base of his head.
"He's still sleeping." I mumble
At this point the yacht had left the marina and we were off on our adventure for the day.
"I think I'm gonna go check on Jackson." I tell Miley as I stand and head back inside the yacht. As I make my way around the corner to head down the last set of stairs to the lower level I crash into a warm body gasping. Oh my god he scared the crap out of me! He grabs my arms to steady me and I look up meeting his gaze.
Our eyes lock for a moment. "Are you okay?" Jackson asks as he loosens his grip on my arms, his fingers sliding down the length of my arms. It sends an electrical shock through me and I feel my face warming and turning a shade of pink. "Yea...you just scared me...thats all" I manage to say as I let the air out I had been holding in. I meet his gaze again and he is smiling softly at me. "Are you going to move or am I going to have to pick you up and move you myself?" He asks playfully.
My jaw drops and I playfully shove his shoulder. "I am capable of moving, I was just coming to check on you. Everyone's awake and upstairs. " I say as I move out of his way and follow him. He makes his way to the main level. "Im gonna get a drink, you need anything?" He asks. "Nah I'm good, thanks." I make my way back over to the lounge chairs and plop down in one, kicking my feet up.
He's acting kind of strange...i wish I knew what happened last night. I can't just ask him. That would be way to awkward. Wander if he even remembers? Maybe he was too drunk as well. All these thoughts start to swirl in my head and im interrupted by Sarah.
"Eeek! We are here!" She exclaims as she hugs Alex from behind and pecks him on the cheek .
"Girls, follow me we will get suited up, and guys you get ready over there!" Sarah exclaims excitedly as she points to the wet suits she has laid out for the guys.
Jackson walks over just as i stand to follow sarah, a drink in hand as he looks over his shoulder at the suits. "What are we doing?" He asks.
"Scooba diving, unless of course your to much of a chicken." I say playfully with a wink as I slip off after Sarah and Miley to get ready.
I didn't even give him a chance to respond.
The next 2 hours or so we spend exploring the sea bed below. Jackson decided to join us of course! It was so beautiful! We spotted some sand sharks and decided we had been at it long enough. By the time we stripped out of the wet suits and gear we all were starving. Sarah had made sure the chef had us some dinner fixed and we all sat at the dining table eating. We had fried mahi mahi and steamed veggies and a slice of cheese cake. It was all delicious. Jackson had barely spoken much all day aside from small talk. He mostly talked with alex. I hope i didn't do something stupid. I did catch him looking at me a few times today but as soon as our eyes would meet he would look away.
It was around 7pm when we finished dinner.
"We should play poker guys!" Miley exclaims.
Sarah, Alex, and Jackson all looking at me for approval.
"You guys can, i think I'm gonna relax in the hot tub and have a few drinks..maybe watch the sun set."
"Okay well you guys up for a game of poker?" Sarah asks looking
From Alex to jackson.
"I'm in." Alex states nudging jackson.
At this point I had already left the group, snagged a vodka and tonic and was pulling my cover up over my head, tossing it to the side....
