Chapter 24-The First Night
August 22, 2002 After dinner Ty and Alex headed back to the room to get changed into something more comfortable. They sat on the balcony in each other's arms and watched the sunset.
"It is so beautiful," Alex said as the sun was disappearing into the horizon.
"It is, very romantic," Ty said as Alex snuggled a more into his arms.
The sun finally made its way into the horizon. Alex looked up at Ty and gave him a kiss.
"So what are you up for Mrs. Davis?"
"We could go get a drink and walk around the ship some more."
"We should have found out what room number Jason and Heather have. They seem like they would be cool to spend some time with."
"We'll have to remember that tomorrow night at dinner."
Ty and Alex walked out of their room and headed up two flights of stairs to the Empress Deck. The Paradise Bar was there and they got something to drink. After the bartender handed them the drinks they headed up two more flights to the Promenade Deck. On the Promenade Deck there was what was called Carnival Blvd. It was just a bunch of tables and seats set up. They also had benches up against the windows. The windows ran from the top of the bench to the ceiling. Alex and Ty decided to sit next to the long windows. Looking out the window you could see all the way down to the ocean. It was kind of freaky to look at.
"Pretty far down huh?" Ty said.
"Yeah. It always amazed me that something this size manages to float."
"It is pretty amazing."
Alex leaned back into Ty's chest. They both just watched the water below. It was one of the 'perfect' moments. Alex heard someone say something behind her so she turned around. It was just two people being loud.
"Why don't we go back to the cabin? We are at sea all day tomorrow, we can do more exploring then," Alex said.
"Sounds good to me."
Ty and Alex both got up and walked back to the cabin. As they got to the room Alex became visibly nervous.
"What's with you?" Ty asked.
"Me? Nothing," she said quickly, unlocking the door and walking in.
"Alex?"
"I said I'm fine." She grabbed a bag and walked towards the bathroom. "Make yourself comfortable, I will be right out."
"Don't take too long."
"I won't," Alex said walking into the bathroom and closing the door.
Ty was curious as to why Alex got nervous, but he dismissed it. He took her advice and made himself comfortable. He got changed into a pair of shorts that he brought to sleep in.
Alex looked at herself in the mirror.
"He better appreciate this," she said to herself.
She opened the bag she brought in with her. She first pulled out a pair of red satin shorts. They were trimmed with black lace. Then came a spaghetti strap top of the same material, also trimmed with black lace. Alex was never one to go for the whole sexy outfit thing, but she wanted to do it for Ty. His reaction would probably be priceless since he wouldn't be expecting something like this from her. She changed into the outfit she had brought and readied herself for Ty's reaction.
"Here goes nothing," she said as she reached for the doorknob and opened the door. She peaked out at Ty before she actually walked out. He was watching the television. She stepped out of the bathroom.
"Well?" she asked standing there.
Ty turned to her and his jaw dropped immediately. He found the remote to the television and turned it off.
"I don't know what to say," was the only thing he could manage to get out.
"You like it?"
"Absolutely, I never expected to see you in something like that."
"I know, that's why I did it. Expect the unexpected," she said with a smile.
"I will from now on."
Alex walked over to the bed. Ty grabbed her arm and pulled her onto his lap.
"I love you," he said as he began kissing her neck.

Eventually Ty collapsed on top of Alex. They had both experienced something they couldn't have imagined. That was the most intense, both physically and emotionally, it had been between them. They just laid there Ty with his arms around Alex. They spoke no words, they were not necessary. Eventually they both fell asleep.
