Crush Hard

Chapter 4

I woke up by myself in an empty bed. I didn't know where Max had gone. It took me ahwile for me to officially get up and out of bed. I looked at the time on my phone. 11:17. I couldn't believe I had slept in that long. I had been so anxious to wake up early and start the day, but instead I had slept in.

Max peaked in the room a couple minutes later. He was wearing nothing but swim trunks. His hair wasn't wet though. I hoped he hadn't gotten into the water without me already.

"Finally." Max said rolling his eyes in way that let me knew he was just joking. "Come on. It's boat time."

"Boat time?" I asked.

"Alexandra got us a boat for the day!"

"Just us?" I said excitedly.

"No, it's gonna be everyone. It's gonna be so much fun! Get up and get ready we're leaving at 12. I made you breakfast. Or lunch. Whatever you wanna call it." I was a little disappointed I wasn't getting the alone time with Max that I wanted, but I was curious to know if any of the girls nights went as well as mine did.

I grabbed a swimsuit from the dresser drawer and went to go put it on in the bathroom. I put on ripped jean shorts over my pink bikini. I walked out into the kitchen. Max had pancakes ready on the table just off of the stove.

"I didn't know you were such a cook." I said to him.

"Just appreciate my pancake. Look I made it into a smiley face." Max said proudly showing me his smiley face pancake. The pancake part of it looked good, but the smiley face could use some work. I ate a pancake and started cleaning the dishes and putting them away.

"I'm gonna have to work on getting used to your whole everything needs to be spotless thing." Max joked.

I helped Max pack a little bag of food and clothes and some alcohol to bring along the boat ride. He told me someone will be providing dinner on the boat so we'll be there the entire day. Still a little disappointed, but we still had thirteen more days in the houses.

We were the first ones at the dock even though we walked instead of taking the tiny rental cars that were placed at every house. It was only about a five minute walk. The dock was right in between town and all the hotels and houses.

I guess I shouldn't say that we were the first ones there. Alexandra was standing there with the camera crew patiently waiting for us.

"You guys can go ahead and get on the boat." Alexandra pointed us towards the "boat" which wasn't even considered a boat. It was a full yacht. It was tall, big, and white, with lots of windows. The deck on the yacht was ginormous. We both stepped onto the yacht through a tiny boardwalk placed in between the yacht and the dock. The first floor of the yacht had lots of seating and a bar where you could get drinks at. There was a door leading to the ships control station and another door across from it that led to a bathroom. Next to the bathroom were stairs leading to the top floor. The top floor had a small sheltered area with a hot tub in the middle but other than that the top floor consisted of the large deck. At the front of the yacht was a small pool. On the other side of the sheltered hot tub area, in the back of the yacht, was a large dinner area with a couple tables squished together.

"I wanna know where the hell Alexandra got all the money for this." Max said. I had to agree on that one. The yacht, the nice houses, a free trip to Jamaica for ten people plus her and her camera crew, it wasn't something this show was gonna pay off anytime soon.

"She has to have a side job." I replied.

"A good ass paying one too." We were leaning over the rail on the deck waiting for everyone else to get here. It didn't take long for all the rental cars to show up with the rest of the group. Everyone got on the yacht and toured around having the same reaction as Max and I had.
