Chapter 4- The call.
It had been a week and we had another week left on the cruise. We were all having a great time. We had tried almost everything on the cruise, Zed even convinced me going on that surf thing and turns out I actually don't suck in surfing. In that week we almost never saw my parents, meaning that we were basically on holiday together alone. They had said that we were young adults and should learn to take care of ourselves. They gave us money of course, but where to eat and what to do the whole day was our responsibility. I and Zed liked this, being able to do whatever we wanted and still be mature adults.
I woke up one morning and got ready. My parents decided that maybe we should spend one whole day together, so they booked one of the inside swimming pools for the whole day, just for us four; but knowing the way my parents were acting this week, they would leave us on our own at the pool which is exactly what happened. That morning I woke up earlier and then woke up Zed who was holding me tight to him. It was like we were getting used to that, waking up next to each other every morning. We knew this was going to stop when the holiday finished but I liked it and I knew that it was going to be hard to go back to the old day routine. Probably in the summer when we would come back, my parents would maybe let me sleep at Zed's for a night or so, but I don't think Simon liked the idea of me sleeping in the room with Zed. But then again he said we were fine with only two bedrooms in the cruise…
That morning I decided to wear something that screamed 'summer'. So I picked a white t-shirt that Zed got me, it said 'I love my boyfriend!' with a big red heart at the end, typical Zed. I then picked my blue favourite shorts and some white flip flops. Zed was in the bathroom getting ready while I was watching T.V. waiting for him. The phone rang and I got up; it was Zed's but I had already got used to answer it, he didn't mind it at all, in fact he said that it gives us a glimpse of the future when we live together.
'Hello?'
'Oh, hi Sky!' Karla's voice came through.
'Hi Karla, Zed is in the bathroom. Do you want me to tell him to call you later?'
'Actually, I don't want to talk to Zed. I need to talk to Sally but because neither your parents were answering the phone; I decided to call you two. Do you mind passing the phone over to Sally?'
'Not at all. She is in another floor so I'll have to call you back when I get to them. Bye.'
'Bye Sky.' Karla said and I turned off the phone. I picked up my room key and yelled to the bathroom door.
'Zed.'
'Yeah baby?' He shouted back over the sound of the water running in the shower.
'I'm going to see my parents; I'll be back in a few minutes.' I stood closer to the room door waiting for an answer.
'Okay. Will you be long?'
'I'm not sure. Bye, love you.'
'Love you too.' And off I went.
My mum was still talking to Karla after ten minutes. I was waiting for her to finish because it was Zed's phone. After waiting five more minutes and realizing that she wasn't going to finish soon, I gave up. I told her to give the phone to Zed back at the pool; then I went back to my room. When I opened the door to my room, I bumped into Zed which made him to trip causing me to fall on top of him. I squealed. Then I realized that I was on top, not only my soulfinder boyfriend but my naked boyfriend. I got up quickly and put my hands on my face.
'Oh my God! Zed!' I screamed at him. He just lied down there uncomfortable of the whole situation.
'Get a towel on.' I suggested and Zed quickly woke up from day dreaming. I heard him rushing through to find the towel and he swore a couple of times. Then I felt him breathing in front of me. I slowly got my hands away from my face looking at his face. Did he have the towel? No…
'You're standing on it.'
'Right.' I smiled awkwardly moving to the side so he could pick up the towel. He picked it up and wrapped around his waist. We stood in silence looking at each other for a few moments. Out of the sudden Zed hugged me tight to him and kissed the top of my head.
'Please, let's not make this awkward.' He told me softly.
'I though it already was.' I said looking at him still in his arms. He grinned showing me his devilish smile.
'What I mean is, if we just walk away and say we're fine when we aren't, the rest of the holidays are going to be awkward between us two.' He made such a good point. We wouldn't even have fun, hug or kiss. Worst this could grow us apart a little bit and I definitely didn't want or like that and I know that Zed didn't want or like that as well. We looked at each other and almost had a crazy thought. He kissed me with grand passion and suddenly stopped. He most have looked at my disappointed expression because he grinned and then said.
'If I don't stop now, your dad will kill me.' I smiled because the memory of our first kiss was going through my mind. He kissed me one last time and then said. 'Am I right?' I blushed because I was so lost in the memory and he laughed.
'Yeah, that's a nice memory.' I looked up to him and hit him on the arm.
'Now you can see my memories too?' I looked irritated but I wasn't because nothing he did could make me mad at him.
'I was there too.' I rolled my eyes at him and he smiled. 'I can see everything about you Sky and I got to be honest, I love it. I love being on your mind all the time.' I raised an eyebrow.
'You're not on my mind all the time…' he looked at me with an expression that said more than words. 'Okay. Maybe… but...'
'If you saw my mind, you would see you every second of every day.' I couldn't help but smile.
'But about the other thing. Don't worry Sky, we have time. Let's not rush into this too quickly. I mean, at least that's what you were thinking on the other day. And that was still about me, so I was on your mind.' I opened my mouth open and blushed. He laughed and picked his clothes and went into the toilet. I know exactly what he was talking about, though I wish it never came up but it had to sooner or later. We are growing up together and we are going to spend the rest of our lives together. So this 'subject' had to come up. Part of me wanted to and I was trying really hard to resist. We are too young but I don't know how much longer I can resist. Oh my God! Shut up Sky! Only then I realized that I had dropped my shields. I really didn't want him to hear that but of course he did. He is always cheeking to see if I'm alright. I waited a few moments to see if he mention something about my thoughts but he didn't.
'Come on.' Zed said behind me. He was wearing white shorts with a red stripe on the right side, with a red t-shirt and white flip flops.
'Well come on then Mr Benedict.' I said trying to forget all my thoughts and distracting him from the thoughts as well.
'Very well Miss Bright. You command me.' I couldn't help but laugh. That accent was so funny. He winked at me and opened the door to let me pass. 'Ladies first.' He had said. Zed is such a gentleman when he wants to!
When we got to the pool, my parents said they were going to get some snacks but they didn't give Zed his phone back. They only came back two hours after and then said that they had to go and see the manager. Zed and I already knew that these were only excuses to leave us on our own. When they left 'to see the manager' I took my flip flops off and lied down on a deck chair reading a book. Zed was swimming in the pool and every now and then he tried to splash me but I was too far away so he couldn't. But he had another idea in mind. He got out of the pool and was coming towards me.
'Baby.' I looked up from my book. 'I want a hug.' I opened my eyes wide open and started to nod.
'No, no… You wouldn't.' He smiled evilly at me and said.
'Oh, you know I would.' I knew what was coming… Zed laughed and gave me a tight hug. I gasped really loud feeling the cold, wet water getting on my shorts and t-shirt. He got up and when he did, I could see him laughing so I joined him. When we were breathing again, he looked at me and asked.
'Have you got any electronics in your pockets?'
'No, I left them in the room. Why?' I looked down to check my pockets. When I looked back up, Zed was already picking me up. He put me over his shoulders so that I couldn't stop his evil plan. I started to hit him gently on his back with my arms and hands.
'Zed, stop! Let me go!' Giggles came along my screams. He ignored what I said and jumped to the water with me still on his shoulders. I held my breath and…
Splash!
He burst out laughing and well, so did I and I started to splash him.
'Idiot.' I shouted laughing. I wasn't mad, I was actually glad because I wanted to go to the water but I didn't have the courage to go with just my bikini on. Being in the water was much easier, so I took off my shorts and t-shirt and threw them on the side leaving me with my blue bikini. It was blue with white spots and it was my favourite. Zed then swam to me.
'Yes, Mr Benedict?' He smiled.
'Miss Bright, please do not press charges over me. It was your entire fault with all your prettiness.' I laughed and swam closer and whispered in his ear.'
'I won't if you do me a favour.'
'I'll go and get your hot chocolate Miss Bright.' He started to move away.
'No, no.' He looked back. 'I want a kiss Mr Benedict.' He showed me a big smile and swam to me. I gave him my sweetest smile and when he got close enough… splash. I wanted revenge and here it was. He looked shocked and started to splash me back. I didn't notice he was getting closer, only when I felt his hands around my waist pulling me closer and I gave up and stopped splashing.
'You cheeky little monkey!' Zed said kissing my neck and I giggled.
'Can I still have that kiss?' He looked at me and raised an eyebrow.
'That depends can I trust you?' Before I could answer he said. 'I'm not going to trust that sweet smile of yours.'
'Please, Zed. I won't trick you this time.' He chuckled and then I realized. 'I just begged you to kiss me.'
'That is what I was going for.'
'You tricked me.' I said shocked.
'Now, we're even.' We smiled and he pressed his lips against mine. I melted deeply with him. He makes me feel warm, loved, safe, happy, and all those other good feelings.
Our kiss was stopped by my mum calling out our names. We looked up and there she was with Zed's phone on her hand, she hadn't given back still.
'It's your brother Xavier.' She talked to Zed and then she turned to us both. 'He says he wants to speak to you two and says it's important.' Zed and I looked at each other a bit worried. We got out of the pool, token the phone and went to a quiet place to talk to Xav.
'What's up?' Zed asked his older brother.
'It's Yves. He's found his soulfinder.' Our expressions changed straight away; from worried to happy.
'That's great!' I said happily.
'Well, she's in trouble. She needs to get out of the country and Sky, you being British too, may be able to help her.'
'British?' I asked.
'Yves is in London.' Zed explained.
'Oh yeah, I forgot that.'
'I did too until Xav started to talk about him. When do we need to leave?'
'As soon as possible.' Xav said and Zed moaned.
'So we have to get out of our holiday.'
'Yes, Zed. Like our brothers did for Sky.'
'Well, they weren't on holiday and of course I'll go. Family first, then holidays.' I laid my head on Zed's shoulder and said softly.
'I agree.' He smiled and put his arm around me.
'You probably better have mom and dad explain that to Sky's parents.'
'Yeah, probably a good idea. Bye.'
We turned off the phone and sat down at a sofa. We stayed in silence for a few minutes curled up on each other. I got up and Zed looked at me.
'Come on, we better go and pack our bags.' He looked me over and smiled.
'I was so right. See, you are sexy! Now I really don't want to get out of this ship.' I blushed.
'Zed, let's just go.'
'We can go to the pool a bit longer.' I was getting frustrated.
'If you come now, this summer I'll put my bikini on just for you.'
'Just for me?' I leaned over and kissed him softly and shortly leaving him want more.
'Yes. Just for you.' I said slowly and he pulled me closer so that I had my legs round his waist and my arms around his neck. He kissed me with passion and then I stopped him.
'If we don't go now, you mom and dad will kill us.' I looked at his eyes and he looked at mine and we didn't break the eye contact.
'And if we don't stop now, they will kill us including your parents. They'll be a scary army coming after us.' We stayed in silence still looking at each other for a few more moments.
'We need to go.' He looked disappointed.
'Okay.' He leaned forward and I pushed him back on his chest. He looked confused.
'But I don't want to move.' His confusion disappeared.
'Well, I think you'll want to move because your parents are coming.'
'What?' I shouted and fell on the floor. Zed laughed but quickly stopped to help me up. Just in time because my parents walked in. I'm guessing they already knew that we had to go to London because of their expressions. We were going to enjoy this, yay…
