Chapter 10:
They walked around the deck for a while, until it got dark out. Once it did, they stopped near the stern. Both were leaning over the rails, gazing dreamily at the stars and cosmos. " Isn't it magnificent? So grand and endless." Allie asked
" What is?" He asked.
"The stars an the night sky. Its beautiful."
" If you say so, then yes it is." Allie slapped Tim. Then she returned her gaze to the sky, just as a shooting star flew by.
"Look, Tim, a shooting star it's so long!" She exclaimed. Tim looked at the star, then at her.
" There's an old saying that whenever you see a shooting star, it's a soul going to Heaven." He explained.
" That's nice. I like that saying." She cuddled closer to him. He wrapped his arm around her, as if to protect her from something. It was a beautiful night, and this was the perfect romantic moment. Or at least it would've been had Allie not had that horrid fear of what was to become of Tim's character. She couldn't let that happen, she just couldn't. In that split second she knew that she had to alter the end of the movie. That somehow, someway, his character and hers both were going to live and go on together.
Anyways aside from Allie's thoughts, it was getting late and both Tim and Allie knew that they should be returning to the cabins. But neither of them wanted the night to end. After a few minutes Tim looked down at Allie. " I love you." He said. Allie could feel herself blushing; she immediately grabbed him with all her strength, and whispered to him " I love you too Sweetie." Again, Allie stood on the tips of her toes ready to have a romantic kiss with him with a scenery that they would never again be able to get. Tim moved his lips close to hers slowly to hers, and again only a couple centimeters away from each other's lips, Natalie jumped out from underneath one of the deck chairs screaming like a banshee. " TIM! YOU- YOU LIP-GINITY STEALER!" Natalie screamed. " It's all your fault! Before you she was so pure and innocent, now she's all mwawa kissy face oh I love you so much Tim! YUCK! You did this!" Natalie went and grabbed the back of Allie's dress and dragged her back to the cabin muttering obstinacies. But all Allie could think of was what a wonderful night it had been before she had been so rudely torn from it. At the cabin door, Natalie allowed Allie to stand. When she got to her feet, Natalie took her hand and pulled her into the bathroom, they were both shocked when Rachel wasn't there. Natalie took Allie to the sink and took the bar of soap that was on it and stuck it in Allie's mouth. Allie chocked on the taste. Then Natalie took the soap out and said " Here you little slut. Eat this." She handed her a marshmallow. " Remember Allie, marshmallows are pure. Like I wish you were." Then Natalie skipped out of the room, and Allie trailed close behind. After a few minutes Natalie whipped around enraged.
"Why the fuck are you following me?" she snarled, trying to lose her by running faster.
"I wanted to make sure you weren't with Fabrizio!" she joked. Natalie stopped dead in her tracks, turning slowly
"You dirty, dirty slut!" and Allie just smiled and said,
" No really, I'm only going back to the stateroom," Her tone serious now.
" Oh… Ok." Natalie said mellowing out and returning to her skipping.
