Yours Truly || Sequel to Let Me Know

Chapter Twenty-One: Sea Day

Julia:

"Alright, whoever wins has to..." Lin put his hand up to his head, pretending to think clearly and hardly. "Pick the next restaurant for us to lunch in."

"No, you know I'm horrible at picking!" I protested, making Lin laugh.

"Crazy of you to assume that you're gonna win." He smirked while shooting his eyebrows up. I rolled my eyes and snatched the golf stick away from his hands, "Crazy of you to infer that I'm gonna lose."

"Come back here!" Lin being the romantic he is, he grabbed me by my waist with both hands and stole a kiss from me. "Very charming, I must say." I patted his chest after we pulled away from the passionate kiss.

"Thank you. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a game to win!" He grabbed the golf stick from my hands and I threw my head back in laughter, "I hate you!"

After an hour playing on the mini golf course, it's no surprise that I won. Well, Lin nearly beat me, but we won't speak about that.

"Okay, since I let you win, you get to pick what we eat for lunch. Although we don't have many choices other than two restaurants and the local buffet." He joked and I giggled. He was right, since it was our last day in the cruise and it was a Sea Day.

"Well since this type of power comes with great responsibility, I'll let you choose. Just because I like you."

"Ouch, that's a hurtful way to friendzone your husband!" I cackled at his foolish comment, but cheesed at the way he said husband.

"You should try saying that last word again, I don't think I heard you right."

"Oh, you mean ouch?" He joked.

"Mm, not exactly."

"Oh! You mean friendzone?"

"Not quite there." I pursed my lips and tilted my head to the side until he laughed.

"Don't worry, mi Amor, I know you meant husband, which sounds almost as lovely as hearing myself call you my wife." He cupped my face and planted a kiss on my forehead.

After eating some good lunch, we decided to spend the rest of the day hanging by the pool and going laser tagging at night. Just my luck, I remembered I should never go swimming with Lin-Manuel Miranda.

"Put me down, right now!" I demanded as he threw me over his shoulder, attempting to throw me in the water, just like he did when we went on vacation in Cancun just a year ago.

"That sounds like a good offer, but the cold pool water sounds even better!" He joked and I just kept kicking at his back. "Remind me to never go swimming with you ever again!" I retorted.

"I'll add it to our reminders." He grabbed my back and instead of putting me down, he now carried me bridal style. I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"You see, right now I don't know if I want to kiss you or shove you into the pool." I said while staring at my reflection in his black sunglasses.

He looked to the side and smirked, "Can I pick?" He said before pecking my lips multiple times. Too cute.

We ended up tanning a bit in the pool, which was surprisingly not cold at all. We imagined it was going to be freezing but it was actually a good refreshing temperature to complement the scorching hot sun.

And to finish off this adventurous filled day, we played some laser tag. Against each other.

"You know I'll win." Lin said while reaching for the straps around my waist, putting on the vest for me.

"And you know I'll fight." I shrugged.

"Oohhh, competitive now are we?" He flipped his imaginary long hair causing me to chuckle.

"Alright, ready guys? The game is gonna give you like 20 seconds to hide at first. Then, you'll have fifteen minutes to shoot each other as much as possible. And..." The man said, "Begin!"

Lin and I ran to separate places to hide, and after a few seconds, the red button on the gun was activated, letting us know that the game had started.

I ducked down, trying to get across all the neon obstacles and walls, attempting to find Lin. "Found you!" I heard a familiar voice shout behind me. "God, you scared me!" I turned around, shooting at him. "I'm glad!" He got down, missing my shot. 

I hid behind a wall while he ran towards his hiding spot again. I turned my head, trying to see where he went now. I saw his leg stick out of the big neon triangle and quietly giggled, sneaking up on him. When I found him, I started shooting like a madwoman, gaining like 100 points. "Ha!" I laughed in his face.

"Oh, this isn't over yet!" He yelled, running behind me through the whole maze. When he finally caught up to me, I pushed him into a corner and pressed my lips to his. He closed his eyes in shock and deepened the kiss in return, until I shot him once more and walked away.

"I can't believe you!" He said after me, laughing his heart out. "That was hot, though!!"
