AN: So... This is chapter 4! Sorry! It took me a while, I know... But I thought I had already posted it! Anyway... Enjoy!
Chapter 4: Too soon?
Eva looked in Fabrizio's amazing eyes. "I... I... I like you too...", she told him.
Her eyes were sparkling. There was a silence and they smiled dreamily to each other. "You're the most amazing girl I've ever seen, Eva. You're beautiful and so sweet and cute.", Fabrizio said, stroking her hair.
Eva felt amazing, he was so nice and sweet. Just then Eva realized her situation wasn't as perfect as it looked like. She was engaged, she couldn't fall in love with a guy now, but hasn't she already? He had kissed her. She looked at him, with scared eyes, and he noticed. "What's wrong?" he asked worried.
"I'm engaged, Fabrizio."
"WHAT?! But my sweet Eva... You're only 16 years old! And you didn't tell me you were in love with another guy..." He stroke her cheek gently again.
"I'm not in love with him..."
"So why are you marrying him?!", Fabrizio stepped away from her, feeling stupid for what he had just done.
"I'm a girl, I have to... You don't understand!", she felt tears coming again and she knew that, this time, she couldn't block them. "I must go now.", she said.
She didn't want to leave though. "Eva... What's wrong?" he asked her with his sweet voice.
The sadness and sweetness in his voice let her tears escape. "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, Fabrizio!", Eva cried.
He was so cute, she thought. He hugged her. "Shhh... It'll be okay.", he said.
Eva had never acted so weak, she couldn't in first class, but she loved it. She felt so safe in his arms. Then the fear of her engagement came up again. "I must leave... I... I...Goodbye Fabrizio...", she said.
She stood up and left him, but she would never forget the number of his cabin.
On her way back to first class she felt sorry for Fabrizio. He liked her very much and she had just left him. But she knew she couldn't be together with a third class guy, her mother would kill her! She arrived at her cabin and saw Susanna and Eleanor waiting for her in her room. "How was your date, Ev?", Susanna smiled.
"I told him the truth.", she didn't know how she could remain this calm.
"So you told him you loved him?!", Eleanor and Susanna said together.
"Yes... NO! I told him I was engaged and left him.", Eva said coldly.
She felt tears coming, but blocked them. Don't cry, Eva, she told herself, not again. She felt the pressure of being in first class again. Eleanor and Susanna didn't say anything. "I go to the deck now, please tell mother if she is searching for me.", Eva said and she left the room, leaving Eleanor and Susanna confused.
Meanwhile Fabrizio was lying in his bed. He didn't understand her. She said she liked him too, didn't she? They kissed! And then... Everything went so fast, Fabrizio thought. He really wanted to get some advice from his best friend right now, but still he couldn't tell him. Jack won't understand this, he knew that. He decided he had to find out what was wrong with her himself and closed his eyes to think.
When Eva arrived on the deck, she spotted Rose looking sadly to the sea. 'Rose?', Eva whispered.
Rose turned around, 'Oh Eva, it's you', she said.
'Do you want to tell me something, Rose?', Eva touched her hand and stroke it softly.
'I... Cal...', Rose mumbled.
She started crying. 'No, Rose please, what happened? You can tell me. I won't judge you.', Eva led her to a bench.
The two of them sat down and then Rose started talking: 'Cal, he's horrible, I hate him. Today he got angry at me for no reason and he threw plates and stuff to me! I was so scared, Eva. I ran away, to the deck. And then I bumped into a man, well a guy...', she paused for a moment, 'I think I like him, Eva.'
Eva looked at Rose and saw the panic in her eyes, they were screaming for help.
'Rose, I will help you. I'm in the same situation... Well, there are some differences. I accidentally went to E-deck with the elevator, and I lost my way there, but there was a guy nice enough to help me. After some talking he invited me to come again after lunch. We went to his cabin and... we… eh… kinda… kissed'
Rose's mouth opened slowly and she said: 'Oh Eva! That's amazing! Leave your fiancé and marry him!'
Eva looked at her and smiled, 'It's not that simple... I wish it was...'
'Why not?', Rose answered.
Eva took a deep breath and said clearly: 'He's in third class.'
Rose smiled. 'Jack is too.'
Eva didn't understand it, 'Jack?', she said.
'The cute guy I bumped into!', Rose giggled, 'And what's your boyfriend's name?'
Eva laughed, 'He's not my boyfriend! And his name is Fabrizio... But I hurt him... I left him after saying I was engaged.'
Rose looked at her with a knowing smile. 'And you regret that? I see. But, you guys kissed, didn't you? Why don't you visit him! I can find Jack's cabin maybe... He gave me the number, G-60'
Eva was surprised to hear that number. 'But... G-60... That's Fabri's cabin!'
'Awhhh! You've already shorten his name! But yeah, that's weird… I guess we just have to visit that cabin then! Let's visit our boyfriends!', Rose exclaimed.
'They're not our boyfriends, Rose!', Eva laughed.
When they had found G-60, Eva knocked on the door. A man they had never seen before opened the door, he whistled when he saw them. 'Wow… What are you pretty girls doing down here?', he flirted.
'Who is it, Tommy?', Fabrizio yelled to him.
'I dunno!', he looked at the girls again and said: 'Soooo… did it hurt when you fell from heaven?'
'Awww, you're so original!', Rose said sarcastically, as she knew this wasn't Jack and this couldn't be Fabrizio, because Eva looked at him strangely.
'We're her for 2 other guys who should be here as wel…', Eva said, 'They told us this was their cabin.'
The man smiled: 'I don't think you'll find 'em in here, unless you mean Jack and Fabri.'
He started laughing really loud. 'JACK?', Rose yelled happily.
He gave her the right number! Eva didn't say a thing, she was scared. Did he still want to see her? Inside Jack had heard his name and went to the door, he smiled when he saw Rose. 'Hey Rose! Tommy, why didn't ya let them in?', he smiled.
Eva studied Jack, he was handsome as well, but Fabrizio looked sweeter to her. 'Who is your friend?', he looked at Eva.
'I'm Eva', she introduced herself, 'er... Is Fabrizio in here?'
'Wait what…? How do you know Fabri?'
Eva understood Fabrizio hadn't told this Jack about her, although they seemed to be quite good friends.
'Doesn't matter. Is he in here?' she said.
'Sure… Yes, he is.', Jack said, still confused.
Eva looked at the door for a while. Then she walked in. She didn't see Fabrizio anywhere. 'Ehh…. Fabrizio?'
'Eva?', she heard.
Then she saw him, he laid in his top bunk. 'Hi…', she said, when he came down.
He looked in her eyes and said: 'You came back…'
Eva blushed. 'I changed my mind, Fabri', she said with a flirtatious smile.
'But… Your engagement?', he looked at her, confused but happy.
'I don't want to marry him, he's a jerk...! I can't even marry him, 'cause I guess I'm falling in love with another guy…'
He smiled, she was the most perfect girl ever. He knew she liked him, she came back to him! He couldn't be happier now. 'I kinda hope you mean me…', he said, already knowing she meant him.
She just smiled and he did to. He stepped closer to her and put his hand on her cheek, stroking it slowly. He looked her in her eyes and then slowly kissed her again. She felt amazing, finally she had met someone who cared for her. She put her arms around him and so he did. She felt safe again. Just then Jack, Rose and Tommy came in. 'Seems like we have a couple here…', Tommy smiled.
Fabrizio and Eva stopped kissing and looked at Jack, Rose and Tommy. They both blushed. 'Whew... Where did you meet that girl, Fabri? I didn't know who were that good at talking to girls!', Tommy said, he was surprised.
Eva laughed: 'He isn't!'
Jack walked to Fabrizio and gave him a high five. 'Your first girlfriend, Fabri! Let's celebrate this rare thing. Who wants show these first class girls a real third class party?!', Jack yelled.
'YEAH!', Fabri and Tommy yelled and Fabri put his hand around Eva's waist. Eva couldn't be happier.
