Chapter one: All Aboard

Dannie looked up at the giant cruise ship that was in front of her. She couldn't believe how big it was Why did I let them talk me into this? she asked herself. Suddenly she felt strong muscular arms circle her wait and a deep voice in her ear.

"What are you doing?"

Dannie jumped, her heart racing, her breathing labored/ he had succeeded once again, by scaring the shit outta her. "GODDAMNIT NATHAN!" she yelled turning around and punching him in the arm hard. "I hate it when you do that!"

"Ow! Alright Dannie, damn! I'm sorry." Nathan said blocking her punches.

"Why do you always do that?"

"You know I can't help myself!" Nathan said pulling his angry friend into a hug. "You alright now?" he asked pulling back to look in her green eyes.

"Yeah." She whispered back, looking into his blue ones. Oh yeah, that's why.

They stood there talking when their friends Brooke, Peyton, Jake and Mouth walked up to them. They all smiled at each other before enveloping one another in a hug.

"Hey Superstar, Superstar-girl!" Brooke exclaimed smiled broadly at them.

"Brooke, why do you insist on calling me that?" Dannie asked rolling her eyes.

"What? You're the girl version of Tree Hill's famous Nathan Scott!" She turned to Nathan who was flirting with a blond. "Right Superstar?"

"Stop calling me that." Nathan muttered before turning back to the blond.

Jake and Mouth made their way over to the group hands full with bags. They rolled their eyes when they saw Nathan already picking up girls. Yes, girls as in plural. They were talking to the girls when Lucas and Haley finally got there. Haley laughing at a very red Lucas.

"Oh, I know that laugh. What embarrassing thing did he do now?" Peyton asked looking at them.

Haley giggled some more. "He-he fell up the stairs." Haley said laughing harder.

"Oh please Haley, you do that too." Brooke pointed out not seeing what was so funny about that.

"Yeah, but not escalator stairs while teasing me about always being clumsy. Who's the klutz now?" Haley said bursting into laughing fit again. When the group heard that they all broke into fits of laughter at Haley's childish behavior.

"I don't see what's so funny about that!" Lucas muttered moving over to where his brother, Nathan, was getting yet another phone number. "Hey man."

"Lucas my man, ain't it a beautiful day to go on a cruise?" Nathan asked, a cocky smile on his face.

"How many did you get?" Lucas asked knowingly.

"10. And I just got here about 5 minutes ago."

"10 numbers? Already?"

"What can I say, I have a gift." Nathan said smiling. He turned seeing Mouth and Jake join them.

"How many?" Mouth and Jake asked knowingly.

"10."

"You sly dog you." Mouth smiled giving him the pound.

Meanwhile the girls were in a circle talking about Nathan and his phone numbers.

"So how many do you think this time?" Peyton asked looking over Dannie's shoulder at the boys laughing at something Mouth said.

"Girls or phone numbers?" Haley asked rolling her eyes at his ex's ways.

"Both." Peyton answered.

"I say 4 girls and at least 20 numbers." Brooke answered. They always did this when they went somewhere with Nathan. He was your average man-whore. He only had 2 steady girlfriends in his life and they were both in the group. Peyton and Haley. Total opposites but still, he had them. Anyways, so whenever everyone got together the girls place bets on Nathan's man-whoring easy. Nathan hated when they did but that just made them want to do it more.

"5 girls and 25 numbers." Peyton said pulling out $20.

"6 girls and 10 numbers." Haley said also pulling out a 20.

Dannie just stood quietly. She always knew what the real ending amount would be. She just knew him so damn well. But she always pretended that she didn't. So she just stood off to the side looking off into space. She didn't want to place bets on her best friend, the one person who really understood her and protected her when she needed it.

"HELLO!"

"SUPERSTAR GIRL!"

"DANNIE!"

They all yelled to get he attention but she didn't hear them calling her until they pulled out the big guns and used her given name.

"DANIELLA ARMANI!" they yelled kin unison, which made her and the boys snap to attention, and look at them. They all knew she hated being called that.

"Què en el demonios tú quieriste? What in the hell do you want?!" she yelling in Spanish at them.

"Well someone needs to get laid." Brooke said bluntly looking at Dannie. Dannie glared back.

"Why, because I don't wanna know or bet on how many girls Nathan FUCKS the two weeks we're on vacations? Sorry, but unlike you, Slur, I have a life!" Dannie blew up grabbing her bags and making her way to the ship that was now letting on passengers.

"Ouch." Haley said smiling looking at eh heated red head walking off.

"Did she just go off on me?" Brooke asked shocked as hell.

"Yup." They agreed laughing.

"DANNIE!" Nathan yelled behind her running up to stop her. Finally she stopped but didn't turn around. "Hey you alright?" he asked sincerely. He turned her around to look her in the eye. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," she whispered, rubbing her forehead before running a hand over the gelled hair that was up in a ponytail. A nervous habit she did when she was stressed about something.

"Bull. You did the hair thing." He smiled knowingly. Next will be the glaring with the putting her tongue ring between her teeth he thought just seconds before she did that. "Face it Ramierez. I know you too well."

"Shut up, Scott." Dannie growled at him making him laugh.

"So what's wrong?"

""Grumpy" Dannie pouted putting her head down on his shoulder/

"And sleepy?" he asked. She nodded. "Not sleeping again?" he asked knowingly. She shook her head no. "Dreams?"

She looked up at him, tears in her eyes. "I thought I was doing better. I though I was over it. I thought they were done," she whispered.

"Dannie it's only been a few months," he said pulling her into a hug. "Give it time."

"But I don't want to give it time! I wasn't to be able to go places, enjoy myself without being afraid that he'll show up." Dannie protested.

"You're still afraid?" Nathan asked surprised.

"When you're not around." She confessed looking up him.

"I know." He whispered whipping her tears away. "So wanna tell me why you went off on Brooke back there?"

Dannie made a disgusted face. "Ugg, she was doin' the bet thing on how many girls you'd screw while we were on the ship." Nathan laughed at that. "And then she had the nerve to call me Daniella Armani. Perra. Bitch."

"Well you looked a million miles away." Nathan pointed out. "They were only trying to get your attention the only way they knew how. Even if it was saying your given name."

"So you're trying to tell me that I have to go over there and apologize." Dannie sulked like a 2 year old.

"Yup." He answered sternly.

"Ugg, you suck." She said walking toward their group of friends who were also moving towards them.

"You suck." He mocked in a girl voice carrying Dannie's bag.

When they met up with the group they stood in silence Dannie looked everywhere but Brook. That was until Nathan nudged her hard in the shoulder making her glare at him.

"So um, yeah, uh Brooke, I guess, I'm uh, you know, sorry." Dannie said hesitantly.

"Oh Dannie," Brooke said before plowing into Dannie almost knocking her over if it wasn't for Nathan coming up behind her and putting his hands on her hips. Sending a jolt of electricity, the good kind, through her. She hoped Brooke didn't feel that. But from the look on her face she could tell that she did, but ignored it. "I'm sorry too, Dannie." She said moving away.

"Well then, we're all good here, huh?" Nathan said smiling over Dannie's shoulder. This is nice. Dannie thought to herself.

"I guess we should get going." Lucas said picking up his and Brooke's suitcases. Jake did the same with his and Peyton's and Mouth with his and Haley's.

"I hope you don't expect me to carry yours too." Nathan said laughing at Dannie.

"No of course not, Scott. That would mean you're a gentleman." Dannie shot back rolling her eyes. Out the corner of her eye she saw someone staring at her intently. She snapped her head in that direction and saw the face from her past that haunted her dreams every night. Her breathing quickened and she closed her eyes whispering to herself, "not there. Not there. Not there." She repeated to herself. Finally she opened her eyes to Nathan putting a hand on her shoulder.

"Hey, you alright?" she looked into his eyes than to the direction where she saw him. Nathan turned and looked to see what she was looking at. "What is it?" he asked concerned.

If you tell him he'll freak and then be worried about you the whole trip. Than you would've ruined his vacation. She thought to herself before shaking her head and looking at him. "Nothing. It's nothing." She said putting on a smile with a 'will you just drop it now' look.

"Alright, let's go." He said uneasily taking her hand and leading her to the cruise ship and giving the bell boy their baggage.

Chris what are you doing here? Dannie thought to herself as Nathan led them to their room.

None of them noticed the shadowy figure following them onto the ship with a smile on his face. Chris Keller watched as they turned the corner, his smile getting bigger. Soon Dannie. I'll see you soon. He thought to himself before moving to his room.

AN: So there's the first chapter! And the title of the next will be Unexpected Temptation. Hope you enjoyed!
