Love at First Cruise

The Talk

Demure Notes: Happy Sunday everyone! Let's go back to Richard's condo unit...

Again, work of fiction, AU = alternate universe so not all the details here are accurate, 99% is from the very vivid imagination of your #beautifulotor (even that is part of my imagination okay?) jenofgenovia

The lights went back after three hours and Maine is still sleeping soundly in his arms. She was awaken by the doorbell of his unit. Richard told Nita to text him if she is nearby, he asked Nita to get some change of clothes for Maine since they will be staying in his condo until the next day.

M: Oh gosh...I overslept...who's that?

R: Nita...I asked her to get some clothes for you, we can't go back to your condo yet, may media pa din daw. Stay here I'll get your bag...

As Richard is thanking Nita for bringing Maine's things, Maine walks in on them wearing his ripped polo. Nita blushed and Maine smiled at her while Richard is pretending that everything is normal.

M: ha ha ha the look on Nita's face!!!

R: Naughty girl....

M: Come on, she knows me since I was twelve! She's like my level up Yaya...kasama ko din kaya siya sa Singapore noong OJT ako.

R: Get ready for bed, it's almost midnight...I got a nice jacuzzi, want to give it a try?

M: let's go....ohhhh I want to wear your shirt to sleep ha.

They relax in the jacuzzi for half an hour and then they sleep in Richard's white and grey bed. Maine fell asleep in his chest and Richard couldn't sleep, he enjoys looking at her as she sleeps, so beautiful and serene.

Maine woke up at 6am and she found a note from Richard which says that he is in the kitchen making breakfast and that she can use his robe. Maine smiled, washed her face and put her hair in a braid. She smiled when she sees Richard plating their breakfast.

R:Good Morning Miss Maine... continental breakfast? A choice of hot brewed coffee, English breakfast tea....or me???

M: You...ha ha ha ang cute pero mas gusto ko yung shirtless Chef...

R: Please take your seat (points to his lap) hmmmm I love this braid...

They ate and talked about their future plans; Richard showed her his black book of schedule and Cruise details.

R: Here you go...honey I need to be back on ship in two weeks time...I have to do this kasi last year ko na as Apprentice Captain...

M: Ayoko....joke lang...okay, let me get my phone and show you my plans...

R: let's work this out, I don't want to lose you.

M: You won't...don't worry I understand na we got different lives...we can make this work! Promise...

R: whew...Im' so scared na you will hate me for bringing this up but I need to...

M: I understand...here's my schedule, I will forego with the Induction Party, I want you there with me...and then one month training in Singapore, i p plot ko ito same with your schedule on Cruise...

R: Look at you...sounding like a COO na, you have grown a lot, so proud of you...

M: It's because of you....I believe in myself more now that you're here...we cannot predict what the future holds but we can hold on to each other di ba.

R: Yes...so...

M: so...

R: Nabitin ako sa jacuzzi...let's go back...

M: ieeeeee.....buhatin mo ako...

R: Gladly...
