The Cruise
Chapter 3
Getting Closer
It was now the third day since we got on this cruise and I have to say things are getting better by the day. I mean I think troy is warming up to me. I think that every moment we spend together we grow closer and that dance was amazing too. Right when I got out of the bed I heard a knock at the door. I went to go answer it and I found Troy standing there with two coffees in his hands.
"Morning sunshine, I brought your favorite, Vanilla Ice Blend," he smiled walking in and handing me my coffee.
"How did you know that Vanilla Ice Blend was my favorite coffee?"
"Well everyday when you go and get your coffee at the Coffee Bean I'm always there getting my coffee," he said sitting down on the bed with me.
"Well thank you it was really sweet of you for thinking about me even though I thought you hated me," I said the last part in a whisper then took a sip of my coffee.
He looked at me for a second then picked my head up and said, "The truth is I never hated you I just always pissed you off, because I thought you looked cute when you were mad."
"Really you think I'm cute when I'm mad?"
"Well actually I think you're cute anytime and I've always had a crush on you," he whispered looking down. Wait a second did I hear right the Troy Bolton has a crush on ME, this is so cool.
"Really well that's good, because I've always had a crush on you too."
He picked up his head and kissed me on the cheek and said, "Good so uh do you want to hangout today?"
"Heck yeah, I mean yeah that'll be cool I'll get ready." I got off my bed went to my closet and picked out a strapless orange shirt with gold sequins, white pants with a gold chain, gold bangles, silver bangles, a gold pearl necklace, and a brown Gucci bag. Then I went to the bathroom, changed, and straightened my hair. I walked out the bathroom and said, "I'm ready."
"Great lets go I want to show you the entire ship," he said lacing his fingers with mine. We spent the pretty much the whole with him showing me the ship and whenever I got tired he would give me a piggyback ride. Our last stop of the day was the deck where you could see outside and I saw two dolphins jumping up and down following the ship. "Put this on," he said handing me my bathing suit.
"How did you get this and why do I need to put it on?"
"Well I want you to take a swim with me."
"What, you mean out there, no way not going to happen," I said backing away.
"Oh come on there isn't any sharks out there, come on please," he said giving me the puppy dog look and putting both of my hands into his.
"Ok fine, but how will we breath?"
"Here's a snorkel," he said handing me a white snorkel.
"Ok be right back." I went to the bathroom and changed into a white bikini with pink and green on it. I walked back out on the deck and saw that he was staring at me. Which was exactly what I was doing. I was just standing there and looking at his bare chest. "So uh you ready to go," I asked breaking the silence, putting my snorkel on, and putting the chord on my bathing suit.
"Uh yeah come on give me your hand and we'll jump in together." I walked over to him and he grabbed my hand. "Alright you ready," I nodded my head to his question. "Ok one, two, three, jump." Then we jumped in hand in hand never letting go and I have to say the water was pretty beautiful under there. After I saw a little bit I swam up with Troy still holding my hand. We got above water holding on to the rail of the ship and to our snorkels off
"Wow it's beautiful under there."
"Yeah it was even more beautiful going in with you," he said making me blush a deep red. Right when I looked up his eyes met mine and all of a sudden something pushed me closer to him. I turned around to find a dolphin pushing me closer to Troy with his tail. "I think she wants us to kiss."
"Well I can't argue with her about that now can I?" Then I put my arms around his neck and leaned in to kiss him. After a few seconds we really got into the kiss and I started messing with his hair while he was roaming his hands up and down my back. After about five minutes of making out we pulled apart and jumped back up on the ship. We got up on the ship and took the chords off of us and put our clothes back on. "Well my family wants me to eat dinner with them tonight at that restaurant so how about I meet you at the club in two hours."
"Well how about my family joins your family, because we're eating there too," he asked putting his hand around my waist and walking me to my room.
"Sounds good to me I'll ask my parents, well here's my room if our parents say yes than I'll see you in a few minutes."
Right when I was about to walk in my room I heard Troy ask, "Aren't you forgetting something?" I turned around and my lips met with his for a short sweet kiss. "Bye Shar."
"Bye Troy see you in a few." I got in my room and stood there for a second and smiled to myself. After a second or two I walked over to my closet and picked out a white strapless dress that went a little past my knee, gold sandals, a whole lot of jewelry, and a black Gucci bag. I went to my bathroom, blow dried my hair, and curled the bottom. Then I walked out of my room and knocked on my parents' door.
I was about to knock again since I didn't get an answer, but my dad opened the door and said, "Oh Sharpay, come on in princess." So I walked in the room and didn't see my mom. "Your mother is in the bathroom finishing up her hair."
"Ok well do you think you could ask her to please hurry up I need to ask both of you a question."
"Hey honey Shar wants to talk to the both of us." A soon as he finished his sentence mom walked out with her hair finished.
"I'm ready now, what did you want to talk to us about?"
"Well I have this friend who is on vacation on this cruise with his family too and I was wondering if they could eat dinner with us," I said hoping they would say yes.
"Well is it a boy or a girl?"
My mom gave him a glare and said, "It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl they can have dinner with us."
"Oh thank you mom you're the best well I have to go call him." As soon as I said that I saw the look on my dad's face and ran out of the room to call Troy.
"Hey Shar did you ask your parents?"
"Yeah, but how did you know it was me?"
"I got your number from Ryan, your speed dial number one."
"Aw that's so sweet; anyways my mom said your family could have dinner with us."
"Great, but what about your dad?"
"Avoid him, well just meet us in front of the restaurant and we should be there in about five minutes."
Alright, bye," he said hanging up.
I walked over to Ryan's room and started banging on the door until he answered. "What the hell is there like a fire or something?"
"No, but hurry up and finish getting ready."
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Because Troy is eating with us and I don't want to be late now please hurry up." After about three minutes everyone came out of their rooms and we started walking towards the restaurant. Once we got there I saw Troy and ran up and hugged him. "Hi Mr. and Mrs. Bolton my name is Sharpay and you must be Troy's little sister Aly." Aly nodded.
"Oh we know Troy has told us everything about you," Mrs. Bolton said.
"Yeah and from the sounds of it your very girly, but I can tell you're a better influence on him than that Montez girl." When he said that I just had to let out a giggle. "You must be Sharpay's parents and you must be her twin brother Ryan, am I right?"
"Yep that's me now can we please go in and eat, I'm starving," Ryan moaned walking in.
We walked in and after about two minutes we were seated. I sat next to Troy, Troy sat next to Ryan, Ryan sat next to Aly, and on the other side of the table my dad sat next to my mom, my mom sat next to Mrs. Bolton, and Mrs. Bolton sat next to Mr. Bolton.
"Boy am I hungry," I said looking at the menu.
"Yea no kidding a swim works up quite a big appetite," Troy said looking down with a sweet smile.
"You said it."
"Wait a second what swim," my dad screamed at and that was pretty much how the night went, my dad bickering about Troy and me and my mom having to make him shut up.
"Um I'm getting a little tired so I'm going to head back to my room," I said walking over to my mom and dad giving them a hug and a kiss. "Goodnight I love ya'll."
"Troy be a gentleman and walk Sharpay to her room," said Mrs. Bolton.
"No its ok you can stay here," I said.
"No I was heading back to my room anyways I'll walk you there, goodnight mom, night dad, come on Shar."
Right as we got out of their sight he put his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him.
"Troy, what's going to happen when we go back to school, are you still going to date Montez," I asked looking down.
"I don't really know, but I just don't really want to think about that right now, because I'm having too much fun with you," he smiled looking down and giving me a kiss on the forehead. "Well here's your room."
"Yep," I said putting my arms around his neck while he put his hands around my waist. "So I guess I'll see you tomorrow?"
"Definitely," he smiled leaning down and giving me a sweet goodnight kiss. "I'll see you tomorrow."
"Ok goodnight," I said walking into my room and closing the door.
