Chapter 5 (The day after)

"Girl I have got to tell ya," Nikki says as she comes busting into the room. "Oh I'm sorry Belle I didn't know that you had company," Nikki says stopping dead in her tracks as she sees that her friend has Nash in her bed. Belle raises up putting her finger to her mouth telling Nikki to be quiet. Belle and Nikki go out to the main part of her cabin and close the door.

"Looks like I wasn't the only one getting lucky last night," Nikki says with a big shit-eating grin on her face. "Its not like that Nikki, we were just talking and feel asleep," Belle says. "Yeah ok fell asleep whatever you say, now me on the other hand I had one heck of a mattatitude last night," Nikki said as she sat down on the couch. "Well that didn't take you no time miss thing," Belle answered. "I know but it was the alcohol, Belle you know me, not even," Nikki says. "I know let's go up on deck and get something to eat and maybe go swimming," Nikki says. "Ok, but I'll need to change in your room," Belle replies.

After change the girls headed for the deck. Once at the dining area Nikki and Belle order breakfast and found a table to sit at. "So mind if I join ya, I think I feel a hurricane a comin," Shane says as he walks up to the girls. Belle started laughing and Nikki just shook her head. "Ok sit down, I'm Nikki and this is Belle," Nikki says. "As in beauty and the beast," Shane says with a big grin on his face. "Ha Ha real funny," Nikki replies. "So what are your plans for after breakfast," Shane asks. "Well we were going swimming," Nikki replies. "Well how about going for a stroll with me," Shane leans over and asks Nikki. "Actually Nikki if you don't mind I'm feeling kind of tired why don't you and Shane go for that walk," Belle says. "Well if you're sure," Nikki asks. "Yeah go ahead and Shane nice to meet you, why don't we all meet back here tonight for dinner," Belle says. "Ok it's a date come short stuff lets have some fun," Shane says smiling at Nikki.

Belle decides to go for a walk along the upper decks. She starts think about Nikki and the type of life style she leads. Belle knows that Nikki never gets close to any body, especially if it means a relationship. Nikki just hasn't met the right one yet and she doesn't like to be held down. But come to think of it she does look good with Shane, he is exactly what she needs. Happy go lucky and full of life; yeah he could probably keep her on her toes. Belle walks on a little farther in deep thought, thinking of how she is and why. She has never had a real relationship before, she prefers to take care of people. Belle thinks about how she is always there for people, and that how she never lets her own problems show. Before she new what happened she walks right into none other than the man she hates most Chris Irvine.
