I carefully placed Andrea back on the ground. She held out her hand and I slid the silver ring on her finger.
"Its perfect," she said blushing happily.
"Just like you," I said hugging her. She examined the ring carefully.
"This looks like the one that my mother had," she said surprised.
"Yea I got the design for this ring from that ring and added my own touches," I said with a smile.
"I love it," she said extending her arm out. A loud horn came from the water. The ship was about to leave.
"Quickly let's go," I said grabbing towels and anything else in sight. She grabbed the rest of our stuff and we ran towards the dock kicking sand everywhere.
"Wait, don't leave!" Shouted Andrea as we approached the ship. I couldn't help myself but laugh at our misfortune. Once aboard the boat we just sat leaning against the edge of the railing panting. I managed to get up.
"Come on lets go," I said encouraging her to get up with me.
"Carry me," she whined.
"Jump on," I said squating down a bit for her.
"Really? I didn't think that would work," she said surprised.
"Come on, Before I change my mind,"
She jumped on my back and I stood up straight again and got the full weight of her.
"Oof,"
"Am I too heavy?" She asked teasingly.
"No, no," I said walking back to our cabin. I dropped her off on the bed and fell back onto it myself.
"For someone who is tall and skinny, you are quite strong," she said congratulating me.
"I'm not skinny," I said lifting up me shirt revealing my chest and stomach.
"You can't even see my ribs,"
"Yes but I can see your tummy," she said slapping it and running off knowing that I would retaliate. I ran after her down the halls and out onto the deck. My long legs gave me a faster advantage, and eventually catching her.~~~
It was now late at night, I had only had a couple of drinks but Andrea had partied a little too hard tonight. She was now dancing on the dance floor, leaving me to collect her.
"Your coming with me," I said, spinning her around so she was facing me.
"But I don't want to leave," She said, her eyes welling up.
"Will you go if I carry you?" I asked making a deal.
"Yes," she pouted. I put my left arm on her back and my other hand picked her up by the legs. She rested her head on my chest and one hand hanging off my shoulder.
"I love you," said Andrea closing her eyes and holding on a little tighter.
"I know you do my big baby," I said kissing her forehead. She gave a small giggle before burping, the sent of alcohol filled my nostrils.By the time I had reached the cabin Andrea was already sound asleep in my arms. The tricky part was laying her down on the bed without waking her. After several awkward positions later I had her tucked in and me lying beside her cuddling her for warmth. Today's events flooded my mind, the look on her face when I got down on one knee and the way she held on tight when I was carrying her. Moments like these made each day more enjoyable.
