Chapter 12 (a new day)

Nikki met up with Belle by the pool the next morning where her, Shane and Chris lounging and talking about what they were going to do for rest of the day. "Hey Belle you want to go with me to get some lunch," Nikki asks. "Sure, let's go. Sorry guys but Nikki and me haven't had a chance to talk just us. So we'll catch up later ok," Belle says as she stands and starts walking off with Nikki. "Sure," both guys say in unison.

"Oh my god Nikki I have to tell you about my night," Nikki starts to say. "Yeah I could hear," Belle says with a note of sarcasm in her voice. "Hey! That's not even funny. I had the most wonderful time of my life you just don't know. Once we went back to my room things kind of got crazy. Girl you just don't know. It was like I was under some kind of spell and just couldn't say no to anything. He was so entrancing, I mean Belle, you just don't know. I've never felt anything like it before, I swear. The sex was kind of ruff, but you know how I like it like that sometimes, but Belle you just know," Nikki went on to tell Belle all that had occurred.

"So now that I've spent most of the time talking about me, what about you. What did you get into after you left, girl you just don't know," Nikki asks Belle with a mischievous grin. "Well as I was going back to my room, I kind of lets just say fell into Mark," Belle says looking kind of shy. "What's up with that, you fell into him, Belle," Nikki questions. "Yeah as I was walking down the steps to go back to my room I fell and Mark happened to be there and caught me," Belle goes on to explain. "Oh your kidding me, Belle, damn" Nikki exclaims. "And what happened once you got to your room. You got some didn't you," Nikki says all excited for her friend. "Well no we didn't have sex Nikki god you know me damn. However we did kiss and I don't know but he makes me feel like a teenager. Almost like I'm more alive with him than I ever have been. I felt so carefree. Its almost like he's awakened something in me that I never knew was there before. Now I feel all confused and strange," Belle explains with a far off look in her eyes. "Aw Belle's in love," Nikki says with a goofy grin. "No I'm not I just don't know damnit leave it alone," Belle says turning crimson. They finished eating in silence both deep in thought about the previous night and what each had experienced. Nikki suddenly felt as if some one was watching her and out of the corner of her eye she thought she had seen Sean. However when she turned to look she caught him leaving and knew she wouldn't catch him in time to introduce him to Belle, She thought well maybe next time.

"So where are you off to," Nikki asks. "Well I told Chris I would meet up with him on the upper deck, he said something about water balloons and the people on the deck below," Belle replies with a hint of mischief in her voice and a grin to boot. "What is up with you and Chris miss thing," Nikki questions Belle. "Oh nothing Chris has just made it his goal to find my inner child and to tell you the truth it's working," Belle says with a laugh. "Well I guess I go see what Shane is up to, So let's plan to meet for dinner, ok" Nikki says. "Ok you got it, later," Belle says as she runs off to meet Chris.
