Third Person POV

Captain ran blindly out of the open deck and into the foyer. He needed to get as far away from White as possible.

Captain was so upset with himself. He was upset at how naive and stupid he had been, thinking that his brief intimate encounter with White had meant something to White. And of course tonight's exchange with White had totally negated that. The selfish bastard was actually engaged to be married! White had played him for a fool. White had taken advantage of the attraction that Captain had felt for him.

Angry tears rolled down his cheeks as he continued to run blindly and, not surprisingly, he ran right smack into someone's hard chest. To make matters worse, it was a bare chest, glistening with droplets of water. The guy was wearing a pair of Hawaiian themed swimming trunks.

"Watch it," the other guy said, holding Captain to keep him from losing his balance.

And then when he noticed Captain's tear stricken face, his look of disinterest turned into a look of concern.

"Hey, are you alright?" he asked Captain, not letting go of him,

"I'm fine," Captain muttered, pulling himself away from the man's hold on him.

"You don't look it," the man remarked, walking alongside Captain, "why are you still up anyway?"

"Why are you still up?" Captain threw the question back at the stranger.

"I suffer from insomnia from time to time," the stranger explained, "when that happens, I go and swim to make myself tired and sleepy."

"So this is one of those nights," Captain remarked, temporarily forgetting his misery.

"Yes," the stranger admitted with a sigh.

"And are you tired and sleepy now?" Captain wanted to know.

"Not really," the stranger confessed, "maybe a drink or two at the bar will do the trick. You wanna join me for a few drinks?"

"Sure," Captain said, more than glad of the opportunity to forget his unhappiness.

"Cool," the stranger said with a smile. Captain noticed for the first time that the stranger was very good looking.

"Would you like to come up with me to my cabin, or would you like to wait for me at the bar?" the stranger asked.

When Captain looked undecided, the stranger added, "You can already order a drink while you're waiting for me. Put it on my tab. It will be my treat. By the way, my name is Guy. I'm vacationing alone so I have really been looking for some company."
