So apparently Zack set me up on a date with Cody. I really didn't have anything against Cody but Zack was more my type. Yes I know that they look exactly the same but Zack's just oozed sex appeal. But he was also a really nice guy when you get to know him. Granted, Zack and I didn't know each other for very long but it was long enough For one, Zack was the only person to stand up for me when I was going to be kicked off the boat. That was another factor in my decision to become roommates with him.
Since it was just a date with Cody and not Zack, I probably wouldn't wear my best date. I probably wouldn't even wear a dress. Cody wasn't the one I was trying to impress. However, I was not going to purposely be a bad date to make Cody never want to go out with me again. That would be rude and I wasn't going to be that kind of person. I also wasn't going to cancel the date. I don't think either of those would win me any points with Zack because I had a feeling Cody would tell him about it. Why did they have to be brothers?
I would have to be very inconspicuous when moving my clothes because I didn't want London to suspect anything. Luckily she wasn't in the room when I got there. I started to grab some of my dresses and a few sets of underwear because I would definitely need those. They were hidden under the dresses so no one would see them. London managed to open the door as I was about to head out. It caused me to fall backwards onto the floor and the clothes fell on top of me.
"What are you doing?" London asked. "Are you taking those clothes down to the incarcerator to burn them?"
"First off it's the incinerator." I pointed out. "And second, no I'm just taking them to…the laundry room."
"I don't think cleaning them will help." London remarked. And that is one of the reasons that I don't like living with London. She's always insulting me or my clothes…and trying to get rid of my clothes. I started to grab the clothes off of the floor and down towards Zack's cabin. On the way, I realized that I probably should have brought my laundry basket. I managed to get into the room unnoticed, Zack was once again out of the room and I started put my stuff in the second unused dresser. As I was exiting the room, I saw Woody in the hallway.
"What are you doing coming out of Zack's room?" He asked me.
"Woody, what's it going to take for you to forget you saw me here?" I asked.
"Well I have been known to have short-term memory loss after eating chicken tacos." He stated. That was strange but I guess it would work if it caused him to forget. I took him to the cafeteria and bought him some chicken tacos. After he finished eating, he had a look of puzzlement on his face. "Whoa how did I get here?"
Damn, that actually worked. I wonder if he should see a doctor about that but that really wasn't my concern right now. I went to the juice bar once again to see Zack.
"So the first stage is set." I told him.
"What do you mean?" He asked. I looked around for Mr. Moseby or Cody or anyone else might try to listen in on our conversation. None of them seemed to be there.
"I moved some of my clothes into the room." I explained as he gave me a Cherry Chiller. That had to be my favorite of all of the drinks. I liked how Zack gave me free drinks, even though he wasn't supposed to. Whether or not this was a sign that he liked or he was just being friendly I don't know.
"No one saw you?" He asked. Well no one remembered seeing me.
"Nope." I replied because it was technically the truth. "So why did you ask me out for Cody? Why didn't he ask me himself?"
"Because he thinks this crazy thing about waiting six months before asking a girl out." Zack answered. Yes that was strange. Maybe since Zack had disrupted his six-month plan, he wouldn't be too into it and I wouldn't have to feel bad about rejecting him at the end of the night. I wasn't going to tell Zack that I only accepted because I thought he was asking me out.
"Do you think you can grab some girl and double with us by any chance?" I asked. Zack didn't seem to trouble finding dates. Despite the fact that, I didn't like the idea of him dating another girl, I did want him to be there. "Maybe you can ask Addison."
"Did someone say my name?" Addison asked as she walked by the bar.
"Yes Zack was wondering if you wanted to go out with him on Friday night." I stated. "Right, Zack?"
"Yes, right." He responded.
"What would we be doing?" Addison asked.
"Well there's this nice restaurant that I have been dying to try." Zack replied. "But I haven't exactly found a girl that I want to go with yet? Would you be the honor of being that girl?"
"Sure." Addison replied. Damn he's good. I hope I didn't just start something. "Oh and can I have a Blueberry Blaster?"
Zack blended and filled the drink before taking her card and charging it. Hmm he didn't give her a free drink. Of course, I'm not sure he and Addison are exactly friends.
There were still two days between now and when Zack and I were going out on our group date. Before that happened, we were going to be spending our first night together sleeping in the same room. It was exciting to me.
I then noticed a sign on the bar that I didn't notice before.
"You're hiring waitresses?" I asked.
"Yeah but no one has applied." Zack said. Suddenly Mr. Moseby walked onto the Sky Deck.
"Mr. Moseby, are you still looking for a waitress?" I asked.
"That would depend on what venue you were speaking of." He responded.
"This one." I told him.
"Yes if you want the job you can have it." He told me. "You start…tomorrow."
The cruise director then walked off.
"Well that wasn't much of an interview." I commented. "Looks like we're going to be working together."
"Why do you want to work here anyway?" Zack asked.
"Because this is usually around the time that people get their first jobs and I can actually get a job here as opposed to in Kettlecorn." I explained. "All I have to is remember which drinks to give to people. It shouldn't be that hard."
"Weren't those somebody's famous last words?" He asked.
"No I don't think so." I replied. "So maybe you can quiz me on the menu."
He helped me go through the list of drinks and I had a feeling that I was going to be good at this job.
That night was the first night that Zack and I were going to be together. I headed to get my pajamas and then made my way to my new room which was really my old room. Zack was shirtless and wearing a pair of pajama pants.
"So I'm going to go change in the bathroom." I announced.
"Okay." He replied. Without further comment, I went into the bathroom and changed into my pajamas with chickens on them.
"Those are cute." Zack teased me. Oh he was not one to talk about choices in sleepwear. "You sure you want a feathered pillow?"
"Well at least I'm not wearing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles bottoms?" I pointed out. "Maybe we can both get less childish pajamas when we stop in England tomorrow night."
"I'll do it if you speak with a British accent for all of tomorrow." He challenged me.
"I'll agree if I don't have to do it in class." I bargained.
"Fine I guess we don't need to freak Miss Tutweiller out." He agreed. "But for everything else you have to use a British accent."
"Is there any particular British accent that you want me to use?" I asked him. I had a feeling that he didn't realize that there was more than one.
"No." He replied.
"Alright then." I replied as I shook his hand. The agreement had been made. Then the two of us went to sleep.
I was the first one to awaken in the morning. It was about 6:30. I needed to wake Zack up.
"Mornin' Zack." I said to him. "Time to get up."
"I don't want to Mom." Zack mumbled.
"I'm not your mum, Zack." I told him as I pulled the covers off of him. "Come on we hahve to get ready for clahss."
"You're really doing it." He commented noticing the accent.
"We agreed that I would." I pointed out as I grabbed some clothes and headed to the shower which I had conveniently left my supplies. "By the way, you do need to something about this rubbish on the floor."
After both of us had had our showers, the two of us headed to get breakfast…well bagels anyway. Cody and Woody were both there."
"Ello, Cody. Ello, Woody." I greeted them. That caused the two of them to look at me funny "It sure is a splendid, isn't it?"
"Why are you speaking with a British accent?" Cody specifically asked me.
"Your brothor dared me to tawk like this until we arrive in London." I explained. "Do I sound British to you?"
"Are you sure you're not from England?" Woody asked me. I knew Woody wasn't very smart but did he really think that?
"Yes Woody I am shore." I answered.
As agreed upon, I turned the accent off during class. Miss Tutweiller was already disturbed enough. I didn't want her to be questioning my nationally because I put on an accent for just one day. Plus when I stop using it, it would probably confuse her even more.
After class, I went to the juice bar and Mr. Moseby gave me a yellow shirt, nametag, and an apron. After I was changed, I headed to the floor. Ironically, or coincidentally my first table happen to Cody and Woody.
"Ello boys." I greeted them. "I personally recommend the Blueberry Blahster but perhops you would enjoy a popular Banana Fofana."
"Okay that accent is so good that it's creepy." Woody commented. "I am so confused I don't think what to order. Maybe you should ask him what he wants first."
"She actually asked both of us." Cody pointed out. "One Banana Fofana."
"Oh by the way, Cody." I added as I wrote the order down. "I ahsked Zack and Addison to accompany us on our date tomorrow night. I figured since you were too shy to ahsk me out yourself, hahving a group would make things better. I ope that's okay."
"Yeah sure." He agreed. "Are you really going to keep talking like that until we get to London?"
"Yes I am." I replied. "I may keep even longer if I feel like it."
I probably wasn't. I really hadn't gotten Zack's opinion of it.
We arrived in London late that night and the two of us prepared for the what was going to happen on the day ahead.
So what do you think of Bailey's British accent? If it gets enough positive response it might just stay around. If not it will never be seen again. The next chapter Zack and Bailey go shopping plus this date that who knows how it will go. Please don't forget to review
