Zack seemed a little surprised when I kissed him. I don't know why. Don't men tend to like it when a girl kisses them suddenly? Maybe he wasn't a big fan of public displays of affection. From what I gathered, he didn't have a girlfriend. Perhaps also, he doesn't like to just kiss a girl and wants something deeper. Maybe he dates so much because he is looking for the one and hasn't been able to find her yet. That seems like a plausible excuse. I should see if he wants to go out on a date with me tonight.
"Sorry about that." I apologized. "I would really appreciate if you went out on a date with me."
"Wow I've never been asked out by a girl before." Zack replied. "Sure, I guess I'll go out with you if that's what you want."
"I can't believe this!" Cody remarked before he walked off. He is such a bugger.
"Well, I need to go do something." Woody said.
That meant that it was just me and him. While we did need to decide what we were going to do tonight, there was also something else that I needed to talk to him about.
"So you need to do something about the mess in the room." I stated. "If I hurt myself from slipping on one of your socks, they probably don't need to be on the floor."
"Okay I guess I can clean up a little." He agreed. "We don't need you getting hurt again."
Immediately after he said that, Mr. Moseby, the cruise director, appeared with a boy who possibly could be his son. I don't think I remember him having any kids. If he wasn't the man's kid then just who was this kid that I had never seen before?
"Zack, this is Marcus Little." Mr. Moseby said.
"Hey dude." Zack greeted him.
"Marcus is going to be your new roommate." Mr. Moseby added. Oh bloody hell that's not good. I was Zack's roommate. Well I guess people didn't know that I was Zack's roommate but that would surely cause us some problems. Maybe we could set up of some sort of arrangement that would work for all of this. We are going to have Marcus in on the secret.
"Oh." Zack remarked realizing the situation I think. "In that I think I should show you to the room. Bailey, do you want to come with me?"
"I do." I replied. Whoa, maybe I should have used a different set of words. The three of us then walked down to the cabin.
"So this place looks different." Marcus commented as I closed the door.
"We need to chat about something." I told him. "You see Zack and I have been sharing this cabin for the past few days."
"Isn't that against the rules?" Marcus asked.
"Yes." Zack confirmed. "That's precisely why you can't tell anyone."
"What's in it for me?" Marcus asked. Why did he have to get something from it?
"Well I know all of the girls on the ship. I could probably get you a date with any of them." Zack offered. He then seemed to remember that I was a girl. "Except Bailey but anyone else is fair game."
"We also need to find some way to work this out where all three of us can inhabit this room." I stated.
"Are you British?" Marcus asked me. I've said a few things to him and this is the first time that he notices? Why do I get the feeling that this one is a little dense?
"No." Zack answered which made Marcus look confused. "There's an interesting story behind that. We'll tell it to you later. But can you think of any girls that you want to meet?"
"Do you know London Tipton?" Marcus asked.
"I actually know her very well…but not in the way you think." Zack replied. "Let's go introduce you to her."
Zack took Marcus out of the room. That left me alone. I was going to use Skype to contact my mum and dad. This was going to be interesting. There was a setting for Mom and Dad there. I assumed whoever answered it would be my parents.
A man and a woman were on the screen. It looked to be night there. Maybe I wasn't from England.
"Hi Bailey." They greeted me.
"Hi Mum and Dad." I replied. They seemed a little shocked.
"So you know." The woman replied.
"Know what?" I asked. That insured that they had to tell me whatever it was.
"You were adopted." The man replied. That actually didn't surprise me that much "But there's more to it than that. You see when we were younger, we went to England. While we were there, we got into a car accident. You were in the other car and so were you parents. They both died. You didn't have anyone and we were struggling to conceive so we adopted you. We were going to tell you eventually."
So that meant that I am British. That makes Cody look like even more of a git.
"What part of England am I from?" I questioned.
"You're from London." My mum told me. I would have to tell Zack this. I also had to figure out something to do on our date, which we probably won't be able to go until after work. Maybe tonight's not the best night for a date. Well we already agreed to it so if we have to wait until 10:00 to go on a date, I guess that's what we'll do.
"So is there anything else that there is to tell me about?" I asked. "Is my real name even Bailey?"
"Yes you were born Bailey Nicole Wiltshire." My dad explained. "Your parents were Nigel and Lauren Wiltshire. So why do you have an accent if you didn't know this?"
"Well there's apparently an interesting story about that." I answered. I explained it to them, leaving out the part about me and Zack being roommates. I didn't want them to think I was a tart or anything.
"Well I need to be off." I replied. "It's probably late for you."
I couldn't remember the exact time zone difference but I was pretty sure of that.
After I was done, Zack and Marcus walked back into the room.
"Look man I'm sorry she turned you down." Zack replied. "But you should have led off with the fact that you were a formerly successful rapper."
I actually wondered if London Tipton dating a teenager was legal. I know that the age of consent was 16 in England but we were on an American boat and we had to follow American laws.
"Well you tried and I will uphold my word." Marcus replied. "But I am not sharing a bed with you."
"It would probably work better if Zack and I shared a bed." I agreed. Zack and I were both smaller than Marcus and I was also really hot for Zack. Though, having a third roommate might make shagging a little difficult when we revisit that stage of our relationship. I don't know when that will be, however.
"So why do you share a room?" Marcus asked. "Are you like a couple or something?"
"Yes…no…well kind of." Zack and I pretty much said at the same time.
"We have a date tonight." I explained.
"Okay you two finish each other's sentences." Marcus commented. I blushed because it was kind of embarrassing. "How long has this been going on?"
"What exactly are you referring to?" I asked.
"I mean the whole living together thing. Has it been going on for a while?" He asked.
"No that's only been going on for a few days." Zack explained. "Though, there was a glitch in the system and we were paired together on the first day."
Yes I liked the sound of that better than me cross-dressing.
"That meant that I had the key that could be used to enter the room whenever I wanted." I added.
"Why didn't they ask for that back?" Marcus asked.
I didn't know the answer to that.
"I don't know but you have your key, I have my key, and Zack has his key. That's all that matters." I explained. "So you sang a song? I don't recognize your name from anything. What was it called?"
"You're telling me you haven't heard Retainer Baby?" Marcus asked.
"I might have but I've been having some memory problems lately and it doesn't ring a bell." I answered. "Just don't start singing it. So why do you only have one-hit song?"
"Because my voice started to change and no one was interested anymore." Marcus explained. I wonder if Justin Bieber is going to have that problem. It still seems like a rubbish reason to drop someone.
"Well I guess that's something that's not very convenient." Zack remarked. "Now Bailey and I need to get ready for work, so you need to go."
Marcus left the room and we changed into our uniforms. Surprisingly, I remembered the entire menu and what went into the drinks. I couldn't remember what my hometown looked like but I could remember that. I don't know if that's sad but I guess that's just amnesia works sometimes.
After Zack and I got off work, we found ourselves at the counter closing down the bar. I don't know if I wanted to go back to the room and change or just go on a date with him like I was dressed now. What we're wearing shouldn't matter as long as we're together after all.
"So today was an interesting day." I commented.
"Yeah I don't know exactly how our Three's Company arrangement is going to work out but we'll have to find a way."
"I don't actually know what you're talking about." I told him. "I don't know what Three's Company is."
"It was a show from the 70s. It was about a man and two women were single and roommates." He explained. "At some point one of the girls left and they brought in her cousin. It looked pretty funny from the few episodes that I've seen."
"Well I found out something important about my life today." I told him.
"What's that?" He asked.
"I found out that I'm adopted and my real parents died in a car crash when I was a baby." I answered.
"Wow that's intense." He commented. I think he was kind of shocked by it.
"There's more." I added. "I also found out that I am from England, London."
After that he voluntarily gave me a hug and it felt marvelous.
So Marcus is here, more Zailey moments and we find out that Bailey actually IS British. How will everything work out with these new developments.
