Chapter 8 (More to come)

Nikki awoke the next morning to someone knocking on her door. "Hang on I'm coming," Nikki yelled. As she opened the door Shane came in saying, "come on sleepy head time to go." "Alright let me change," Nikki says. After changing they left and stopped long enough to grab Belle to go.

The three headed out for a day of scuba diving. "Hey we're just like the three musketeers," Shane exclaims. Belle laughed as the geared up to get in the water. Nikki was still thinking about her encounter in the hall last night and oh god that kiss, it just took her breath away.

After the diving session the three headed back to the dining area to grab some lunch. "Ok so what shell we do tonight, get it shell, get it," Shane howled with laughter. "Fool do you ever stop making jokes," Nikki says. "Well no I like to make people laugh, what's wrong with that," Shane says. "You are to cute, Shane," Nikki says with a grin. "Ok you two why don't we go swimming," Belle suggested. "Count me in," Shane yelled as he ran toward the pool. "You know he is such a good kid, I like having him for a friend," Nikki says. "Well, why don't you two go swimming I'm kind of tired," Nikki suggested. "Well alright, you go sleep," Belle said. After Nikki walked of Belle was thinking of how much Nikki and Shane should be together and how to make it happen.

Once Nikki got to her door she noticed that it was open some. Being careful she pushed it open, "Hello" Nikki yelled. No answer, she peered in the room and noticed an array of roses and other types of flowers in the room. On the table she found a card that read:

My Beautiful little one,
Meet me tonight on the top deck at 11:00. And come alone.
Your admirer ….

Nikki ran from the room to find Belle and show her the card. After she found Belle, they came up with a plan. "Belle I'm not going by myself, you have to come with me once we see that its ok you can slip away but if not you have to protect me," Nikki said with a pleading in her voice. "Ok Nikki me and Shane will follow you up there and if all looks well we will leave quietly, deal," Belle said to Nikki, "Ok deal."

The girls headed to dinner and then to their rooms so that Nikki could prepare for the evening to come. After dropping Nikki off in her room Belle went to look for Shane.
