Dark Waters

Great

Life was great. Just fucking great. Trying to absorb all of this greatness I trudged on through the halls on this great fucking ship. With my big great suitcase of course! What the hell was I going to do now?

Everything was going just fine, I had just gotten over my fear of being here alone when that idiot just had to show up and take my room. I wonder where that god damned ticket went anyway. Tired and lost as hell, I stopped near the deck of the ship trying to figure out where to go.

It's a total eclipse of the heart...
The sound of someone singing hit my ears and I instantly perked up

I see a member of the staff with a mop in her hand cleaning the deck, all while singing one of my favourite songs.
I have an idea, I announce to myself.

"Hey there , um I have a slight situation?" I politely ask the old lady with beautiful blue eyes. I try my best to make my own brown eyes as big as possible.

"Yes dear? What is it?" She asks, hand on her hip.

"Well, you see, my boyfriend and me actually had a fight because he thought I was cheating on him with his friend which I, of course, would never do! and he kicked me out of my own room! Men I tell you! I don't know where to go!" I start my performance, putting on my best show.

She looks at me a little strangely at first but I slowly catch a glint of sympathy in her eyes. Old people. They always believe you.

"Oh my! You poor dear! Where is this boyfriend of yours? Should I try to help him understand? What kind of a gentleman would kick out a lady! This generation I tell you, no decency at all! I think I can help you, after all its our job to make sure our travellers are happy! And trust me , I have a way with words" she winks, patting my cheek.

Jackpot

" Oh! Thank you so very much! I'm very grateful!" I hug her and smile to myself.

We start walking to the room together, a bright smile on my face. When we get there I knock as loud and proud as possible.

He opens the door and looks at me, confusion lacing his eyes.
"Why are you here aga-" he starts to say but I cut him off
" BABYY! PLEASE LISTEN TO ME!"I practically yell, throwing myself in his arms and hugging the crap out of him.
"What the..?"

Damn he has quite the muscles

I turn to the lady and gesture to her, eager to see her " way with words" but to my surprise, she looks like she's seen a ghost.

"Mr Alexander Belrose?!? Sir! Please tell me it's actually you?! Is this a dream?!" She swoons and I could practically see the heart eyes on her.

"Hello there" he smiles. He actually smiles? I thought he wasn't capable of human emotion.

"Oh my god! It is you! Can I have a picture please!" She pulls out her phone and flashes a smile moving beside him.
Since when do old people carry phones?
....
great

Well this was unexpected. For the second time in the past 20 minutes I found myself wondering who this guy really was.

After their little photo session, the lady finally seemed to remember me.

"Oh my gosh miss! I can't believe you're Mr.Belrose's girlfriend! I'm sure he's more than capable of handling your problems. I must get back to work. Oh and Mr.Belrose? If you need anything, please feel free to call me!" She winks.
She winks.
and then she is gone.
Shit

I can just feel him slowly turning his eyes to me.
"We meet again. Girlfriend." He says rolling his eyes.
"Did you seriously think that was gonna work?"

Okay. Time to take drastic measures.
I spun around and looked him right in the eyes.

"Listen. Was it Alex? Yeah. Listen Alex. I know you wanna apologize to me and stuff, about so rudely taking my room away from me and leaving me nowhere to go but you know what? It's okay! My mom always taught me to be forgiving you know? Yup you heard me! and it's your lucky day because I'm feeling especially generous today! And plus, you're french. Who doesn't like croissants? Don't sweat it. So now that your forgiven, I think I'd be happy to stay with you! No need to ask me twice! But honestly I would prefer if I could sleep on the bed and maybe you could sleep on the floor?? That would be amazing! Thanks!" I breath out, squeezing myself past him and into the room, sitting on the bed with a smile.

When I look up at him he is staring at me, his frame filling up the whole doorway, his mouth set in a straight line.

After what seems like ages he takes a deep breath shaking his head.

"First of all. It's Alexander. Never Alex. And I guess you can make yourself at home then" he says before walking off.

I let out a sigh of relief. Thank god he let me stay, I was starting to think he wouldn't and I would be left to sleep with the sharks and dolphins. Although that still might have been better than staying with him. But by the way that lady had reacted, I knew he was someone important and respectable which made me feel safe to stay with him, only until I got another room of course.
Whoever he was, I was sure he was gonna enjoy his stay with me.
He was gonna enjoy it a lot.
