PRINCESS ON THE DECK

Chapter 10: Underwear Incidents

Russell

I opened my eyes and saw Reina snuggled on my chest, sleeping quietly. Oh yeah, last night I slept beside her. A flash of images from last night flooded my mind and I smiled a bit. I peered at her face; it was covered with her auburn hair. I gently tucked her silky hair behind her ear, revealing her face. Her lips curved into a tiny smile and her eyes closed, she has such long eyelashes. I watched her for a moment, and those eyelashes fluttered. She looked up with her amber eyes, then her cheeks glowed pink and she hides under the blanket. Now what, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. I pulled the blanket down to her neck and she covers her face with her hands.

"Geez! I wasn't even laughing." I grabbed her hands and pulled it away.

"Do I look… funny?" I just said I wasn't laughing meaning it's not funny!

"Did I laugh?"

"No…"

"Then nothing is funny."

"Really?"

"Yeah, now let's get to breakfast."

"Okay!"


Reina

I opened my eyes and saw Russell looking at me, smiling. Oh no! Do I look funny?! Now, I'm embarrassed. I felt the colors rush on my cheeks and I quickly hid under the blanket. Did I move around? Did he not sleep well? I clutched the blanket and it was pulled down to my neck. I immediately covered my face with my hands. Russell complained that he wasn't even laughing; I asked him if I look funny and after another question I settled down. We walked inside the dining room and the crew was there except for Nathan who's busy in the kitchen. Come to think of it, the last time I was in the kitchen was my first time. Anyway, everyone told me not to sneak in the kitchen without Nathan's permission. I greeted everyone happily.

"Good Morning!"

"Morning." Everyone replied.

"Something's strange about you two." Christopher speaks. Huh?

"What do you even mean?" I asked

"You two seem closer." HAH?!

"Geez, Doc! Yer starting again." Russell pulls my usual chair and he looks at me. What?

"Huh?"

"Sit, I'm pullin' it for ya."

"Uh-huh." I sit down and he pushes it to the table. He's a gentleman…?

"Haha! Look at that! He pulled the chair!" OLDIE I haven't gotten my revenge on you!

"Hmph." Eduardo ignores

"What?!" Thomas was shocked. Oh, there's a shock!

"Russell…" Christopher grins

"What?! It's just normal for a guy to pull a chair for a girl!" He sits down scowling at me. Hah? Now it's my fault!

"What?"

"It's your fault!"

"How is it mine?!"

"Because you're a girl!"

"Oh GOD! I didn't have the matter to choose if I will be a guy or girl!"

"Haha! Another lively morning!" Oh joy! Did I cause some chaos?!

"Shut up and eat!" Nathan arrives, placing down a variety of food.

We ate our breakfast chaotically. They're teasing us from time to time except for Nathan who just glares. Eduardo smirks evilly at us; sometimes I wanna peek on his evil mind. Oldie just laughs and drinks on the bottle, maybe I should put some strong sleeping pills on your drinks OLDIE! Thomas just eats his breakfast with little teasing comments. Christopher knows and notices everything going on around him, he's too sharp. Russell curses under his breath. Oldie stands up and announces a phrase, a phrase that's a good melody to my ears.

"Men! We are going to a hot spring resort in an island nearby!" Okay, I won't get my revenge anymore! Captain!

"I think we'll land there this afternoon." Eduardo mentions. Afternoon?! That's fast!

"Yay! Finally some vacation!" I squealed

"Childish…" Russell mumbles; I shoved his spoon in his mouth.

"Whatever!"

We finished breakfast and the rest of the day went on. Everyone was excited about the vacation, they were packing things up. Eduardo had a usual smirk on his face, but not that evil one. Nathan seems interested although we know that he's interested in cuisine, more than that, no. Christopher is excited but not as exaggerated as Thomas. Ol-I mean Captain just drinks like nothing has changed. Russell seems happy as he packs his things in our room. I was humming to myself as I pack my necessities.

"Let's see, towel, clothes, shampoo, soap…" I checked my things. Oh, I forgot something.

"My bra and pan-" I reached out to those but it fell and landed on Russell's hand. OH NO! This is too embarrassing! Why?!

"R-russell…" I bit my lip as I looked at him. His face was crimson red.

"Just get it! Idiot!" He throws them at me. No, I made things awkward.

"I'm sorry…"

"Just forget it happened!"

"O-okay…" I put those inside my bag. Great! I know my face is as red as his.


Russell

We were packing our belongings in our room. Reina hums as she puts her things inside her bag. I finished ahead of Reina and I checked my things. Suddenly she stops humming; I looked at her and caught her reaching for her… underwear. I ignored her and continued on checking my things. Good everything's in here. I reached for the zipper when something fell on my hand. It was Reina's bra and panty… I feel my face grow hot seeing those lacy, pink things. She calls my name. What, do you expect me to hand it over you?! I throw it at her and she apologized. I told her to forget it happened and she agrees. We zipped our bag at the same time averting each other's gaze. You just made the situation awkward you, airhead!

"C'mon let's go to the deck." I opened the door for her.

"Uh… Russell?"

"Just go."

"Yeah…" She goes and I follow her to the deck.

"Men! Are ya'll ready?" Captain shouts

"Aye!"

"Alright, let's hit the island! Haha!" Captain goes ahead, bottle in hand.

"Everyone's moving. Let's go."

"Russell, I'm really sorry about the underwear…" She's still thinking of that?! Fer crissakes, didn't I told her to forget it!"

"Didn't I tell you to forget it! Besides it's not like it's my first time seeing your underwear…" I trailed off. Yeah the first time was my barging in, the second was when we're in the Noconut Island and this is the third time.

"What do you mean?! You're such a PERVERT Russell!" She walks to me and pounds on my chest. "PERVERT! PERVERT!"

"What?! It's partly your fault in those three times!" I grabbed her hands and stared at her.

"Guys, enough making out." We turned around and saw Doc grinning at us. Oh Great!

"We are not!"

"I saw it!" Thomas yells and we didn't notice the whole crew came back and watched us.

"Heh. Russell seeing a woman and her underwear." Eduardo smirks and Nathan stares.

"I was not! She's… those were just incidents! Right, incidents!"

"Princess Reina seduces the Pirate Russell! Haha!" Captain laughs

"I'm not seducing him, OLDIE!"

"Oldie?!" Captain whines.

"Oh Crud! Let's just go!" I said and we left the Sirius with a chaotic teasing.


Russell, don't worry! We know you're a good guy! XD Ahhh… so tired, but everything's worth it. :D Please be patient with my story! Never worry, if I will stop, because I won't! :)
