Just Cruising

Chapter 2: Day I

I had nothing to wear. Wait, no. Correction. I didn't know what to wear. My mom enjoys packing and she packs my bags all the time. I let her do it this time too and I'm happy she did. I had heels, dresses and other crap I would've NEVER worn, let alone packed.

The only problem was I didn't know what to wear. What dress? Which shoes?

I heard my brother come through the door while I was in the shower. I finish fast and stepped out. I needed advice from him.

"Sam I need help!"

"What" his gruff voice replied.

"I made some friends at the pool today and I was wondering what to wear? I have 3 dresses to pick from."

"Where are you going?"

"Blue Sapphire"

"Well that place is freaking fancy, so wear heels for sure. Are the dresses on your bed?"

"Yeah"

"Ok, well, you have this one with green lace all around... You have this long one with stripes. I hate this one... Oh! And this one is with pink and that lacy part that splits it!"

"So you vote pink one?" I call from the bathroom.

"Yeah. And wear these wedges too. The silver works with the dark pink well."

"Ok, thanks"

"Yeah whatevs"

I hated wearing makeup so I just put some mascara on. I didn't pack any fancy jewellery so I wore this string bracelet I got from one of our stops in Bahamas. I let my hair air dry and get all natural and wavy. It would take too long to straighten or curl, so I left it. I just twisted my bangs I was growing out into a long loopy thing. I then secured it to the side of my head with bobby pins and added this creamy bow at the end. I strapped my heels on. They were around 4 inches with an inch of platform. I loved these shoes to be honest, I just didn't wear them often enough.

Presentable. That was my verdict. I stepped out of the bathroom. My brother was watching TV by himself.

"Are you going to dinner?" I asked

"Nah I get room service. Mom and Dad are staying in their rooms too I think."

"Ok, I'll see you later."

He just nodded, already focused back on the TV.

I grabbed my black satchel and tucked my phone and key card in it.

I stepped out of the room to see the boys grouped in the hallway. I didn't even hear them come in?! Maybe they came when I was in the shower.

I got really nervous. I felt underdressed then overdressed! I was so scared. Then Jacob saw me and froze. His eyes scanned my outfit. Then he stepped away from the group and towards me. My heart was doing backflips. Not kidding.

He reached me and looked at me. I was just below his eye plane. He smiled and my heart melted. I smiled back cautiously. Then he took my hand and brought me towards the group.

"There's the lass! Geez you ladies take forever to get ready!" That could only be Fin. I never noticed just how short he was compared to everyone else. This was going to be fun.

"I was just getting my heels on. I felt so short at the pool around you guys, and I guess these heels did the job!" I winked and blew a kiss towards Fin, making sure to make a show about needed to bend down a bit to be his height.

Fin was fuming. I guess that was a sore spot for him. I tent bad almost as fast as the words flew out. I didn't mean to be mean or anything like that. The boys just laughed.

We started towards the hallway tot eh restaurant. We took the elevator(thank God!) and we stepped. We got a large table pretty fast. I took a seat between Fin and Jacob. During the meal I met all the boys. Josh, Tyler, Dylan, Jake, Dan and Nathan. They were all really nice, and just a bit crazy.

I ordered my salad and lasagna, while most of them ordered a full pizza. We had a fun, but loud meal. It was great though. By the end of my molten chocolate dessert I was stuffed. I started getting up when Jacob grabbed my hand. He looked at me with his greeny hazel eyes.

"Where are you going?"

"Um, well I ate, and I finished so I thought I'd retire to my room because you guys would want to have with out me being a bore."

He looked at me like I had just grown a million heads, not just one. I started laughing after a second.

"You think you can just leave with out having fun with your us because you think your a boring person? That, miss Rachel, is absurd!

I stared at him a shrugged sheepishly.

"I guess I'm staying then?" and Jacob just nodded and chuckled.

Everyone started getting up and made their way to the bar. Oh, that's the fun they were talking about...

I stopped in my track and tried to reel around but my hand was still anchored onto Jacob's. He looked at me with concern. I just started shaking my head. He let go, but then he picked me up bridal style. He scared me.

He carried me to the bar, and sat me on the stool. When I tried to get off, he would grab my waist and slide me back Ont he chair. My waist contracted when he placed his hand do on me, and I blushed, yet again. He ordered a beer for himself, but didn't get anything. I shook my head when he asked for an order.

He turned his chair to look at me, taking sips here and there.

"I'd there a reason you don't like drinking?"

"I have family that we came alcoholic, and I don't like not being able to think straight."

At this Jacob snorted and took a nether swig. Well, that was just my opinion.

I saw all the boys had beers, and they were hanging around the pool table, but surprisingly not playing any. I got up walked over there. My heels tapped a bit making my presence clear. Then I picked a stick from the wall and got the triangle.

I nodded my head at the table, challenging them. Fin got up and grabbed a stick, then smirked at me mischievously.

"Don't cry when I beat, princess" was all he said. I just put my hands up in surrender and smirked.

Jacob came over to watch too.

I got everything ready. I broke first and got a stripe in. Then I got another one in. Then another, and another. I got 4 in one my first shot when I finally lost the next shot. I got up from my position and looked up. I was so focused I hadn't noticed how quite the boys had gotten. Fin's eyes where huge. Jacob was smirking. Dan, Nathan, Dylan and Josh's jaws were dropped. Tyler and Jake and Dylan were laughing like crazy at Fin. I smirked and sashayed to Jacob's side. Fin got up got 2 in. I got another 3 in, then Fin got 4 in. We were neck in neck by the end, both of us in to get the back ball in. I won. Fin was miserable. It was hilarious.

For my victory Jacob took my hand and led me away. I could smell the beer off his breath a bit. He was slightly drunk, but not too bad.

We went up to the upper deck. There were lights garnished all around the railings. We walked din silence for awhile

We stopped in the middle of the deck. I took my heels off and set then down. He wrapped his arms around me to keep warm forms he chilly air. I was full of goose bumps.

"Your interesting Rachel. Different." He said, his words only slightly slurred.

I only nodded and set my head only his chest. He rested his head a bit on top of my head.

"You like thinking straight?" He asked again. I nodded again.

He took his head off of mine and looked at me. Then said, "Could you think straight after this?"before he thrust his lips onto mine.

I couldn't. That was my answer. I couldn't.

My fingers found their way to his hair, and I giving him a free scalp massage with this kiss full of passion.

He smiled but kept kissing me, wrapping his arms around my waist. It felt wonderful.
