The day we meet

The loud honking sound of a very large cruise ship going across the seas traveling across the countries smelling nothing but ocean water filling up the air. Hearing seagulls flying around the cruise searching for food along with the loud music coming from the top deck where there was a party going on.

Down below at the lower deck where there wasn't anyone down there except the woman wearing a Black panther T-shirt leaning against one of the poles on the edge of the ship sightseeing enjoying the view of the fresh blue sea taking a few pictures on her phone letting out a slight sigh shaking her head-turning around as she started to walk down the lower deck heading to the bar feeling a cool breeze against her exposed legs shaking a bit regretting that she put on shorts shivering some more looking up at the bright blue summer skies.

"Papa, why did you make me going on this stupid ship?" she groans to herself moving her long black hair from her face tucking it behind her ear looking around the bottom deck at her surroundings hearing the bass echo throughout the ship.

Once she enters the bar there were very little people because everyone else was partying on the top deck however, she was glad that she couldn't hear it in the bar while she looks for a seat she noticed that there are tons of available seats for her to sit.

"well that sucks fewer people equals terrible service," she thought to herself

The bartender notices her standing there cleaning a few shot glasses watching her coming over to an empty stool taking a seat looking at the drink menu that was attached to the counter " hmm...What should I get? the Shirley temple or the coke with rum?" she asks herself rubbing her chin looking more around the menu.

"I think you should try the Shirley temple that's the most popular drink that everyone gets around here," says the bartender placing the glass down giving her a warm smile taking a quick glimpse at her looking down at her shirt "nice black panther shirt by the way" he compliments

"Okay I'll take the Shirley temple and thanks, I'm a huge Marvel fan" she smiles back as the bartender nods grabbing a glass from the drying rack placing the wet glass that he washed onto the drying rack while he starts on her drink "so uh what's today's event?" she asked while she waits for her drink.

"today's someone's birthday...well a famous gamers birthday," he says while he continues to make the drink annoyed by the lack of customers not liking that the party is taking away his customers.

The cool breeze from outside comes in when someone opens the door feeling it brush against her skin again making her shiver a bit "G-Geez I really do regret put on shorts" she grumbles feeling stupid

More customers were coming in the bar along with a hooded figure walking in behind them finding a seat near her taking off his hood yawning a bit seeing that he recently woke accordingly to the tired look from having either a long day or maybe a lazy day of relaxing but there was something about him that was different throw off strange energy making her a bit uncomfortable being next to him. She didn't want to show it at all to him what so ever.

"here's your drink ma'am" the bartender slides her drink over

"thank you" she smiles placing her hand out blocking the glass from completely sliding off the counter seeing a little bit of her drink spill on her "shit!" she whispers to herself grabbing a napkin out of the napkin dispenser cleaning her hand while the man next to her exchange looks at the bartender.

"you've returned and this time are you actually going to pay for the drink?" asks the bartender leaning against the counter waiting for his response

"I told you that I left it in my room last time" the man replies annoyed scratching the back of his head going in his pocket taking out his wallet showing it to him "see it's right here now can I get coke with rum please I'll also pay for the beautiful lady here as well" he looks over at her giving a charming smile fixing his hair

"so did you come here by yourself or something?" he asked charmingly

"yes actually" she responds giving him a cold stare picking up her drink having the glass against her lips taking a sip

"what's your name tigress?" he teases

A soft sigh comes from her mouth shaking her head taking another sip placing the glass back down on the counter "my name is Tori...Tori Wright and yours?"

"heh the names Jace" he winks at her

This was the day the two meet however Tori still feels off being around him not sure why but she sorta trying to be nice to him trying not to either hurt him or even start a fight but so far the only thing she did was make a new friend which was him. Tori will soon know more things about herself along with Jace along with the adventure that they will soon have together.
