CHAPTER 2: CHARLIE SETS SAIL
It's time for the Duncan family and Spencer to head to California to board the cruise ship. When the plane lands late, it's a rush to get the family and Spencer checked in. And Spencer learns a few tips about how to keep Teddy with him from a smoker driving a taxi... (Weird, huh?) But he listens anyways.
I decided to give Spencer a turn to share his thoughts. It's not always Teddy's P.O.V I'll be switching it off.
Teddy is 17, Spencer is 17, Cody is 17, Zack is 17, Bailey is 17, London is ?, Maya is 17, and P.J is 18
Just bear with the age stuff here, sorry since I think it's untrue.
I just wanted to even it out.
Anyways... Let's set sail!
Teddy's P.O.V
"Spencer, Teddy!" Mom cried. "Stop doing this in public!"
"Sorry, Mom..." I sighed.
I was kissing Spencer, and that's what she told me to stop doing.
So right now we're at the airport and we're about to catch our flight to California. I thought I'd make a video diary for Charlie right now. I got my video camera out and pressed 'Record'
"Hey Charlie it's your sister Teddy! We're at the Denver airport and we're heading to California to board a cruise ship!" I exclaimed. "Spencer's here, so say 'Hi', Charlie!"
I put the camera on Charlie.
"No!" Charlie cried.
"Guess she doesn't want to greet me..." Spencer sighed.
"Relax, Spence!" I smiled. "So Mom and Dad let Spencer and me share a suite together!"
"This suite should be... Quite sweet." Spencer joked.
"Was that a joke?" I bit my lip.
"Don't mind that, Charlie!" Spencer said.
"But isn't Spencer the hottest... Dreamiest... Well, yeah, he's super hot." I snapped myself to reality. "Hopefully you might find someone just as cute as him when you're older. Anyways... Good luck, Charlie!"
I was about to kiss Spencer again, but I realized the camera was still on.
"Oops..." I muttered and turned it off. "Now we can."
"I told you guys no more!" Mom snapped.
Spencer was shy around Mom. He put his hands in his pockets and smiled at me sweetly.
So after lots of security checking and luggage check-in since we're going on a cruise, we finally got on the plane! We were one stop away from entering California, and boarding the S.S Tipton.
Gabe, Spencer, and me got our own row. Mom, Dad, Charlie, and P.J got the four seat row. Charlie's old enough to have her own seat! Toby sits in Mom's lap. P.J sits on the isle seat as he flirts with some girls sitting next to him. I have my Spencer to flirt with.
I don't care if Gabe is here, I'm kissing him.
"So Teddy, I found out there's a duo waterslide on one of their decks." Spencer began. "I was hoping you and I could go as a pair on the waterslide together. Is it cool?"
"Yeah, but I'm scared of some rides..." I sighed.
I wasn't trying to be flirtatious. I've always been afraid of rollercoasters and big waterslides.
"I'll wrap my arms around you as we go down, and you'll be safe with me." Spencer smiled.
"Will you two shut up?" Gabe snapped.
"No, I have a lot of talking to do with him." I said.
"It's alright, I'll quiet down." Spencer grinned at me.
I didn't know what that meant, but why would Spencer listen to Gabe's commands? Oh, but now I understand what Spencer meant! He meant- He's kissing me right now.
I guess what he meant is that he'll be quiet and start kissing me instead! My tongue came up and back into Spencer's mouth. Our lips pressed against each other. I felt his hot breath go into my mouth every time I renewed the making out with another lip-up. Our tongues intertwined and I felt so good kissing him. Now I wish we went further yesterday...
"Eww! What are you guys doing!? Eating each other?" Gabe was disgusted.
"This is what you do when you have a girlfriend." Spencer told him.
I smiled at Spencer. The plane ride went fast. We talked about all the stuff at school, how much we liked each other, yeah, that kind of mushy-gushy stuff. It's fun with Spencer!
"We're here." I gave a wide grin to Spencer.
"I can't wait to go to sleep! I'm beyond tired." I saw Spencer about to laugh.
"Is that the real reason?" I asked flirtatiously.
"Oh my god, stop!" Gabe yelled. "I call not sitting next to you guys on the way back! I liked it better when you were broken up!"
Spencer smiled. We were getting off the plane. He stretched his body up to get his hand luggage suitcase. Everyone had gotten off from our family except us. As Spencer was pulling it down, something fell out... Is that what I think it is?
"Spencer... You dropped something on the ground." I bit my lip.
"Oh, I did?" Spencer said. "What?"
"Look down, baby." I sighed.
"Ehh... Uh..." Spencer looked away. "I brought it just in case! I didn't know if they'd sell them at the store..."
It was a. Condom.
"Teddy! Are you mad?" Spencer asked.
"Kind of! I told you I wasn't doing that with you!" I yelled.
"Please don't be mad." Spencer sighed. "I brought it for safety!"
Spencer kissed her on the lips.
I twinkled my eyes. When he did that, it paralyzed me for moments!
"O-oh okay... I guess it's alright then." I had a faint smile.
We exited the plane. I know Spencer kissed that issue better, but I'm still wondering why he thinks we're getting that far just because we're sharing a single bed. Now I wish I asked for duo so I wouldn't have to deal with him asking every night.
I listened to my parents and Gabe talking
"Teddy, Spencer!" Mom called. "Bob, where are they?"
"Probably making out on the plane..." Gabe said.
Does he find it that gross?
"Sorry Mom, Spencer dropped something." I said, not telling them what it was.
Spencer looked at me funnily. He was eye-messaging me that he really didn't want me to mention that incident around my parents. I would get in trouble, too. They'd think I plotted doing this with Spencer, so I'd just have to bunk with Mom and Charlie in her suite.
I'd much, much, much rather lie there with Spencer all night.
"Alright, the ship sets sail in 30 minutes! We need to hurry up and get checked in." Dad ordered.
The plane was late. We had very little time to drive to the dock and get checked into the ship. Dad called a taxi, but there was no room for two people. How fortunate!
"How about Spencer and me go together in one?" I suggested.
Mom gave me a little smile. "Alright Teddy, if that's what you want."
Spencer smiled happily.
We were in the taxi... Just us two.
"So, are you still mad at me?" Spencer asked.
"Not as much." I replied, hoping the taxi driver wouldn't listen. "But why would you think we'd get that far?"
"I...I just wanted to protect you if it did happen." Spencer sighed. "I care about you a lot, and I wouldn't want you to get in any trouble because of me. And sometimes I fall head over heels for you..."
"Spencer I-" I began.
"Hey girlie, we're pulling over. Get out. $20.00 for the ride." The taxi driver rudely interrupted me
I sighed and handed the taxi driver a bill that Dad gave me.
"Babe, we'll talk later." I said. "We have a whole vacation."
SPENCER'S P.O.V
My beautiful girl got out of the taxi. The old looking taxi driver was smoking a cigarette. He tapped me on the shoulder. I turned to look at his face. I studied his face for a second. He had brown hair, turning grey by the day, I bet. He had a stubby beard and brown eyes.
"Hey kid, I once had a girl like that." He said. "She was precious to me, so beautiful. But then I made all these... Stupid mistakes that I regret. Now I lost her forever, and my life is a living hell."
"I'm sorry about your loss, sir." I said.
"Kid, this ain't about me!" He cried. "It's about you. Keep the girl to your heart."
"But I'm afraid of losing her..." I sighed. "She's everything I've ever wanted and more."
"You need to the the perfect moment." He said. "And tell her the 3 words she has to know. Say it out loud when the moment is right... 'I love you'. If she says it back, you're golden. How old are you kid?"
"17." I replied.
"You're young." He smiled at me faintly. "Don't lose her. Are you a virgin?"
"Excuse me?" I was shocked by his question.
"I asked... Are you a virgin?" He repeated.
"W-well yeah." I replied.
"Boy, you're young, but you need to be the one to take that away from her. Is she a virgin?" He asked.
"I bet she is." I said.
"Your golden. Seduce her. Be protected, kid. If you get her pregnant, the family hates you." He sighed.
"Thank you for the help, sir." I said.
That was really odd. Why would a taxi driver try to help me?
"By the way you were talking with your girlfriend... Did you try to seduce her already?" He asked.
"A little, but not the full thing." I told him. "I accidentally dropped a... Condom. She found it and was mad that I brought it."
"She knows you want her, that's bad." He said. "Girls like to play hard to get."
"Spencer, baby! I'm still waiting, we're going to miss the ship!" Teddy cried.
"I have to go." I said.
"Goodbye, youngster." He waved.
He's nice.
I shut the taxi door.
"Why were you chatting with him?" Teddy asked.
"He asked me about you." I replied. "Y-you know, if I'm your boyfriend and stuff."
"We have 14 minutes to check in!" Teddy cried. "We need to meet with my family."
I spotted a cute little girl. It was Charlie! She was holding hands with Mrs. Duncan.
"There they are!" I spotted.
"You're an observant boy." Teddy flirted.
"You're a hot girl." I smiled flirtatiously.
We walked to meet up with them.
"There you guys are. Hurry! We need to check in!" Bob Duncan cried.
We basically speed-walked to the dock.
"Anchor lifting in 9 minutes." A loudspeaker spoe.
Mr. Duncan checked the family in. I was holding Teddy's hand. She smiled at me. I couldn't help but notice how cute her cheekbones made her look! She had the nicest dimples... So perfect. I got to stay with her tonight.
Tonight she's my girl.
I can cuddle with her as freely as I want as long as she's comfortable.
