No One's Point of View.
It was a Friday night on the SS Tipton, Zack was collecting smoothie cups and serving the few customers still visiting the Sky Deck so late at night and a brown haired girl sat patiently waiting for him at one of the stools by the smoothie bar.
"How long till your shift ends?" Maya questioned Zack, it was approaching curfew and she didn't want to get in trouble when she hadn't even been on board the SS Tipton for long..
"Just before curfew, we'll have enough time to get back, don't worry" He said, putting away some smoothie cups and smiling at the girl.
"I..Oh..Okay.."Maya still seemed hesitant, but didn't want to question Zack further..
"You can go back to your cabin you know, right?"
"I..I know, I'm fine though" Maya forced a smile on to her face, but Zack still noticed her glancing at the clock every 30seconds.
"You know, this place is deserted now, no one's going to be coming for a smoothie right before curfew anyway, I'll close up early.."Zack said, getting agitated by Maya's constant worrying.
"Oh, okay" But Maya still seemed on edge, as if it wasn't just getting in trouble that was on her mind.
Maya's point of view.
Even as I sat there with Zack, my mind was somewhere else. Why wasn't I focusing on the gorgeous blonde working in front of me? After all, we were finally together, even if it was after me completely denying having feelings for him..No, my mind was focused on another gorgeous blonde. To make it worse, that other gorgeous blonde was Zack's twin!
After Cody had helped save myself, Zack, London and Woody from dying in London's shoe submarine I had gone to thank him personally in his cabin whilst London grieved for her shoes, Zack got back to work and Woody went to attack the buffet.
I had found Cody alone in his room, him himself pretty upset too. He had lost out on winning the chess game and trophy to help us, and even though it was because our lives were in danger, he was still very upset. I had sat on the edge of his bed and tried to comfort him, telling him everyone knew he deserved it and that helping everyone had been far more of an achievement, but he shrugged it off, still deep in thought. I too drifted off into thought, flashing back to confessing I had feelings for Zack, the desperation and fear, London's reactions and the whole process that we had gone through. As I thought of Zack a ping of regret echoed through me, I wished I hadn't admitted I had had feelings for him, I don't know why..
"Maya..Maya?" Cody's voice shook me from my thoughts and I looked up. He was staring at me with a confused expression on his face. "Are you okay?"
"Um, yeah..I." My words drifted off..
"Maya, I know I've hardly known you long but, I can tell when your upset. Come on, spill" Cody said.
I found myself telling Cody about my regret and he listened to me carefully. After I had finished babbling about my situation he just smiled faintly and pushed my hair out of my face. I expected him to quickly move his hand, but I didn't even want him to. As soon as I felt Cody touch my skin I felt a bolt of electricity rush through my body and I looked into Cody's eyes. Cody gazed back at me, and I felt such an urge to kiss him. I remember shaking off the thought for a second, reminding myself about Zack, but before I could think properly I felt Cody's lips on mine, he kissed me softly and slowly asked for entry into my mouth...
"Maya, Maya?" This time, it wasn't Cody breaking me out of my thoughts, it was Zack. He had cleaned up the smoothie bar and was sat next to me on a stool. How long had I been zoned out for?
"You kinda' zoned out for a while there.."He spoke, a slight hint of concern flowing into his voice.
"I, yeah, I'm sorry, it's nothing, come on.." I managed to choke out, and to avoid further questions I planted a kiss on his mouth and grabbed his hand, leading him off the sky deck towards the cabins where we said goodnight.
