A/N: Hello again! (:
Well, needless to say, I'm not too happy with this chapter. I've been drawing blanks for this story and I'm having a hard time focusing on it. But I did my best, so enjoy this chapter as best as you can! :D

The next morning when I woke up, Kurt wasn't in bed next to me. I sat up, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes, before glancing around the room frowning.
"Kurt?"
"In here babe!" Kurt's voice came out of the bathroom.
I rolled out of bed and made my way over to the bathroom where Kurt was spraying his perfectly coiffed hair with hairspray. I wrapped my arms around his waist and rested my chin on his shoulder as I watched him in the mirror.
When he was done he spun around in my arms and pecked me on the lips, pulling away smiling.
"Good morning," He smiled.
"It is now!" Kurt frowned. "I woke up without my gorgeous boyfriend beside me," I quickly clarified.
"Oh. Well, your gorgeous boyfriend has to go feed the ugly, wild beasts,"
"Hey! I'm telling them you said that!"
"They're absolutely frightened of me. I doubt they'll even try to put up a fight," he winked at me before sashaying out of the room and to the main deck.
I shook my head before getting out my shaver and toothbrush, quickly getting ready for the day. When I was done in the bathroom, I walked out to my dresser and pulled out a Freelance Whales t-shirt, my favorite band, and another pair of khakis. I pulled on a pair of my boat shoes and grabbed my hot pink sunglasses and my phone before walking out of the room.
I found all of the guys at the breakfast table, scarfing down as much food as their mouths could handle. I just smiled and shook my head.
"Food good?" I asked as I sat down in a chair next to Kurt and Jeff. All I got back were glares from everyone around the table.
I put my hands up in mock surrender. "Kidding! Jeez!" I piled my plate with fruit and made myself a breakfast burrito, leaving out onions.
"Hey Blainey-Bear! What are we doing today?" Thad asked, his mouth full of...well, who really knows?
"I was thinking we could try some water sports?" I looked around hopefully.
"That would be fun, but isn't this boat like a little...uh, big?" Trent cocked his head.
"Yeah, that's why we're docking and renting a speed boat,"
"OH! THAT'S SO COOL!" All the guys broke out in huge grins. Well all except Kurt.
"Kurt? Babe? What's wrong?"
"I...I uh, don't really like the water," I must have looked confused because he quickly said, "I mean, I don't mind being on top of it...like in a boat, but I don't like being in it. It's so dirty! It has fish and fish crap and dirt and who knows what kinds of chemicals, and plants and bugs and-God, dead things and it's just so gr-" I cut him off with a soft kiss on his lips.
"Babe, your gonna be fine. And I know it's not that, because you were absolutely fine when we went snorkeling! What's really bothering you?" I squeezed his thigh, smiling softly at him.
He sighed dramatically. "I've never done...water sports. Like tubing, skiing, wake boarding, you know, that kind of stuff,"
"That's what you're worried about? Babe, Jeff's never done this before either, but he's just as excited to learn! And you wanna know somethin' else?" He nodded. "I'll be with you the whole time! We don't have to do the hard stuff, but tubing is really easy and fun. And 2 people can do it at once!" I grinned goofily at him.
He giggled before leaning in to kiss me on the cheek. "Okay, only if you do it with me,"
"Always,"
An hour later, we were docking and everyone had changed into swim trunks. I pulled down my sunglasses to my eyes and grabbed ran out of the room.
I was greeted with the sight of everyone surrounded by Reed who apparently had just fallen off of the karaoke stage and had hit his head.
"Uhh, guys is everything alright?"
"Yup! Hey Blaine! Are we docking soon?" Reed clumsily stood up, falling a little bit on Evan when his footing got off balance.
"Yeah, we should be on land, ready to get off in the next 10 minutes or so!" Cheers and whoops went up as I grinned.
"So, what kind of things do you want to be able to do? I have to get the equipment before hand,"
"Skiing!"
"Tubing!"
"Wakeboarding!"
"Wakeskating!"
"What the hell is wakeskating?" I asked confused.
"Oh, it's like wakeboarding, except the board isn't attached to your feet!" David supplied.
"Dude, I wanna try that!" I started jumping up and down and squealed like an 8 year old girl.
"So, do we have to order the stuff or...?" Ethan spoke up.
"Nope, there's a shack that has all the things we need!"
"Awesome!"
"We are now docked. You may now proceed to land, be back on the boat at 8 o'clock PM. Thank you and have fun boys!" The captain's voice came over the loud speaker.
"Alright! Let's go have some fun!" I yelled as everyone cheered and we ran off the boat.
Kurt came up beside me, grabbing my hand. I looked over at him and saw that his eyes were wide and he was leaning into me.
"Hey, I promise it's gonna be fun! And I promise I won't make you do anything that you don't want to...but you have to try tubing. That's a must," I winked at him before kissing him on the cheek and pulling us after the other guys.
"You'd better not let me die Mr. Anderson,"
"Wouldn't dream of it,"
"Hello there lad! What can I get for ya?" An older man came out of the shack as I was looking at all the equipment with Wes and David.
"Oh, hi! I need two of those tubes," I pointed to a blue and green Slice Airhead tubes. "One pair of regular skis, and wakeboard," I grinned at the man, and David nudged me with his shoulder. "Oh! Do you happen to have any thing for wakeskating?"
"Sure do son! Their in the back! How many do you need?"
"Just one, thanks!" He nodded as he ran back into he shack, coming back out no later than 30 seconds after handing me the yellow wakeskate.
"Thank you sir!" I handed him over some money for the rentals.
"Anytime lad! Say, why do you need all these?" He looked at us with genuine interest.
"Well, 12 of us are on a boat trip and we decided to rent a smaller speed boat and do some water sports!"
The man made a small grunt of amusement. "Well have fun boys! Be sure to return everything by 7:30 tonight!" He patted me on the shoulder before turning around and walking back into the small shack.
I turned and faced Wes and David who were holding hands now that the man was gone and were making lovey eyes at each other.
"Come on guys! We've only got...like 6 hours to do everything!" I clapped my hands to get their attention as they both blushed.
"Sorry Blainers," My eyes softened.
"Don't apologize, I know what it's like to be in love, trust me," I winked at them before picking up the skis in one arm and the wakeboard and wakeskate in the other.
"Now help me with this!" I grinned at them as they each lifted up a tube over their heads as we walked back to the others.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Once everyone was in the rather large, yet small speed boat, we decided to do tubing first as they would take the most room in the boat.
"Oo! Blaine! Can Evan and I go first?" Ethan was practically vibrating with excitement.
"Yeah! Go ahead!" They high-fived each other as they put on their life jackets and climbed out of the boat, setting the tubes in the water and laying across them.
Nick, Jeff, Thad, David and I knew how to drive the boat, so we would be taking turns while people traded places. I was first for driving so I turned on the blower and waited for the engine to warm up. When I thought it was good to go, I started the boat, loving the sound of the clean motor.
"Ready?" I yelled at the twins. They gave me huge goofy grins and thumbs up.
I slowly pulled out of the dock and gently turned the boat so the nose was facing the water. I waiting for Trent to finish feeding the rope to them before tightening it so it wouldn't get caught in the engine.
"Alright Blaine! They're good to go!" Trent called to me.
I grinned wickedly before lurching the boat to a sudden fast speed, laughing at all the shrieks and cries of protest and surprise from the twins and everyone on the boat.
I twisted and turned the boat, trying to knock the guys off, but they held on tight. I made sharp turns and then gunned the engine, making the boat practically fly with the momentum.
"Holy shit! Blaine, they both just flew off!" Thad yelled.
I immediately slowed the boat, turning around to pick up the twins who were now laughing hysterically in the water.
"Have fun guys?" I called as I neared them.
"Dude, that was fucking amazing!" I laughed again.
"Do you guys want to switch now?"
"Yeah, sure! Why don't you and Kurt go?" Evan winked.
I turned to Kurt who was frozen in shock and fear.
"Babe? Wanna go? I can have Jeff drive and he goes slow," I looked at Jeff who smiled and nodded.
"Uh...I mean...um. Sure?" Kurt sounded unsure of himself. I hopped out of the seat anyways, letting Jeff take over while the twins climbed up on the little ladder, grabbing towels and wrapping them around their waists.
I held out my hand to Kurt who gripped it like a lifeline before making out way to the back of the boat. I had turned the engine off so we could get in without having to avoid the running propeller. I jumped on top of my tube as Kurt slowly lowered himself on his. I could see him gripping the handles so hard his knuckled were turning white.
"Hey, look at me," he did with worried eyes. "We'll go slow. If you want to speed up we will," He snorted at this. "But I promise. You won't die. And I'll be right here with you the whole time! It'll be impossible to fall off if we go slower," I smiled hopefully reassuringly to my boyfriend as Jeff started the boat again.
"Ready guys?" Jeff called over his shoulder.
"Go for it! But go slow!"
Jeff slowly started to move the boat forward, around 5 miles an hour. We were at a pretty steady speed, enough momentum for the tubes to move around and the wind to blow in our hair.
After a few moments Kurt began to loosen his grip and smile a little bit. I looked over at him and laughed, he was clearly enjoying the ride.
"Wanna go faster?" I yelled above the noise.
He looked hesitant at first but nodded, gripping the handles again a little tighter.
I gave the spectators on the boat a thumbs up, signaling to go faster.
We speed up to about 15 miles an hour, Kurt and I laughing and shrieking whenever we hit a wave. I saw the others on the boat laughing at us and taking pictures.
When we stopped again about 5 minutes later, Kurt was absolutely beaming and laughing giddily.
We switched out the tubes for the water skis and waited for Trent to get situated in the water. I sat down in his empty seat and pulled Kurt down on my lap. He wrapped his arms around my neck and kissed me on the lips, smiling the whole time.
"I love you. Thank you for making me do that,"
"I love you too. And you're welcome. I really hope you have fun the rest of the day Kurt...you deserve it," I smiled softly before connecting our lips again.
"Alright you two, cut it out," Cameron said smiling a little.
"Hey! What about Wevid over there? They're practically having a competition on who can suck face more!" I protested.
And it was true. Wes was straddling David's lap as they heatedly made out, David sucking Wes' bottom lip as Wes moaned quietly into his mouth.
"That means you guys too!" Cameron thew a rolled up towel at their heads, effectively making them blush and jump away from each other.
"Okay! I'm ready!" Trent's voice got all our attention as we got out our phones and cameras, ready to document this boating experience.
The rest of the day included more skiing, mostly failed attempts by Wes and David, several attempts at waterboarding from Nick, Cameron, Reed, and Jeff, who actually managed to do some tricks, and complete failed attempts at wakeskating from mostly everyone but Kurt.
As we headed back to the large boat, we were all still on our highs from the adrenaline, cracking jokes and laughing.
We stayed up late that night, all crowded into one circle on lounge chairs with blankets draped over our laps. With only a few days left on our trip, we tried to pack as much as we could in that one day and night, just enjoying the last bit of freedom of adults that we had before we went our separate ways for the rest of the summer.
A/N: So, again, this chapter was kind of hard to write at first. I have absolutely no idea for what I want to happen next. I am having major writers block for this story, so any kinds of prompts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! (:
