Sorry about the spelling mistakes etc in the last chapter! I'm having some writer's block at the moment for this story – I have so much planned but I couldn't find stuff to write about the first day around the pool! But here's a hint of an upcoming chapter that I think you'll like – it consists of Charlie taking up a challenge of water polo, yes that's right, WATER POLO, and guess who else is going to be doing it? Yes, that's right, Joey. I'll leave you to dwell on the thought of them both battling each other in the water for a bit.

I've got to add there is at one new character in this chapter, so don't get confused if you don't know them! He's not too important. And plus, no hate mail! As I know a lot of you won't like another character in here, but if there is no angst, there's no point right? Drama is good. Repeat.

Here we go :)

Chapter 4

"Hey, Liam, look at this one."

Liam looked over the bar to see who his fellow barman was nodding towards.

"Oh yeah, she's a beauty."

"Sure is. I'll be serving her if she comes up ok? I claim her."

"You're going to try it on?"

"Why not? I have what it takes."

"Sometimes you're too cocky-"

"-Sometimes you should just shut up and agree."

Charlie sat sunbathing in her bikini. The sun was beating intently on her skin, sending her a comforting feeling through her body. She blushed slightly, seeing the man at the bar staring intently at her. He had a cheeky face, although he seemed to be a bit intimidating. She brushed of the feeling and smiled back, to which the man simply raised an eyebrow and turned around, cleaning a glass, acting cool to the smile he received.

*****

Nicole, Annie and Ruby sat on the edge of the pool giggling at each other and whispering about the boy that seemed to be staring at Ruby from his sun lounger.

"Is that him? Form the other night?"

"Yep! Oh my God, is he still looking?" She grinned looking at her friends.

"Yeah he is, Oh my-"

"What!?"

"He's coming towards us." Shrieked Annie.

"No way!" Ruby blushed, looking down at her legs in the water, trying to avert her gaze.

"Hi." The blonde boy smiled down at the three girls, his gaze falling finally on Ruby.

"Hi." She blushed. You look like an idiot. She scolded herself.

"We're just going to get some drinks, you want one uh..." Nicole asked grinning.

"Xavier." The boy smiled, "And a coke would be nice, thanks."

Nicole and Annie giggled and whispered to each other as they got up and left for the bar, looking back noticing the boy sit down beside Ruby, placing his feet in the water.

"I'm Ruby." She offered, smiling.

"That a really pretty name Ruby." He grinned.

"Thanks. Xavier is... unusual. I don't think I've heard it before." She stated truthfully.

"Yeah it is, I'm unique." He grinned goofily again as Ruby laughed lightly.

Joey put on her Biker style sunglasses, sipping at her lemonade as she finished it off. Aden and Belle took to the stage just joking around, readying themselves for the small show they had planned. Jai and Geoff had gone to fetch some Hawaiian styled garland sets for around their necks, agreeing to bring as much as possible to give them out to the passengers to get them further into the holiday spirit.

Joey allowed her gaze to fall back to the beautiful figure on the sun lounger who was now giggling at the young boy who seemed to be splashing her and the other three women who were lying on the sun loungers alongside her. She watched, her heart nearly missing a beat as the boy nearly slipped right in the pool, the four women obviously had the same reaction nearly jumping forward to jump the small wall to get the boy of he fell. Luckily, it didn't come to that.

Joey heard the darker haired woman call on the boy angrily "VJ! Watch what you're doing!" Worry was obvious in her voice. Joey knew the little boy seemed a dare devil, and herself worried that something was going to happen to him if he didn't watch himself. After everyone settled back down, she began to watch Charlie again, cursing to herself for being so pervy, but she couldn't help it. She looked so curvy, stunning and radiant lying there relaxing, just enjoying the sun.

"JOEY, BABY!" Geoff shouted as he threw the flowers around Joey's neck, laughing at her sudden awareness of their presence.

"Come on, let's get these given out then we can get this show up and running." Jai was still laughing at how Geoff had managed to give Joey a scare.

Joey took a handful of the garlands and approached a few people on sun bed's smiling. She decided she was about to make her way around the sun loungers hopefully allowing herself to arrive at Charlie's sun lounger, but her plan backfired as she neared it and noticed Charlie vacating her space, heading for the bar, making Joey frown as she saw the sleazy smile of the bartender at her arrival.

"Liam, this one's mine." He warned, obviously his earlier warning hadn't gone into place.

"Right..." Liam backed off, finding something else to do with his time. He found someone else to serve as they approached the bar.

"Hi." Charlie smiled at the man who had been staring at her earlier on. The cheeky smile played on his lips again, and all over his face in fact.

"Hello there, what would you like?" He raised an eyebrow, obviously flirting; he smiled at himself upon seeing the woman replicate a smile.

"Four small white wines please."

"Why don't I make that a large for you, babe?" He winked at the woman.

Liam cringed at his fellow bartender upon hearing the flirting. He is SO up himself. I can't believe I've spent so long listening to this over and over again.

"Um ok, thanks." Charlie smiled, not knowing if he was offering to pay. It was an all inclusive holiday, except the drink obviously, as that's how these ships really made their money, she smiled thankfully at him as he checked the till with a card he had.

"There you go." He grinned handing over four wines on a tray.

"Thank you very much." Charlie was about to turn away when the man butted in.

"You forgot something."

"I did?" Charlie looked at the bar top, not seeing anything that belonged to her.

"Yes you did..." The man smirked, scribbling something down on a piece of paper, "It's my room number. Give it a call sometime. Or pop in, whatever suits," He winked.

"Thanks." She didn't know whether to smile that someone was interested in her on the first day of the holiday, or frown that he seemed a bit full on to his invite. She took the paper none the less, putting it on her tray with the wine. "Charlie." She offered nodding to the man, she didn't want to give him her number to her room as she didn't even know him, so she had offered her name instead.

"Angelo." He smirked, introducing himself as the woman turned away with her wines as headed back to her company, slightly shocked at the forwardness of the man, although he was rather handsome and seemed to be nice.

*****

Joey couldn't help seeing the gorgeous Charlie being chatted up by the man she knew all too well at the bar, and she grimaced as she witnessed him obviously checking her out with a smirk on his face as she walked back to the lounger.
