Zack held me for a few minutes.
"We should get going." I commented. "We still have a date to attend."
"Yes I remember." He pointed out. "Where do you want to go?"
"Somewhere that sells food?" I suggested. Zack laughed.
"I know a few of those places." He remarked as he took my hand and led me to one of the restaurants. I know it was kind of late for dinner but we didn't really have the opportunity to eat it earlier. Well I suppose we could have eaten before work but I probably would have just burnt it off working anyway.
We were seated and ordered before we waited for our food to arrive.
"So your parents are divorced, correct?" I asked.
"Yes, that is true." Zack confirmed. "How long ago was it if you don't mind me asking?"
"It's been a few years." He replied. "We lived at the Tipton in Boston for a while."
"Yes I think I remember that." I responded. "You and Cody had to share a room if I'm not mistaken. That must have been a bother."
"Yeah, I kind of wish I could have lived with someone like you." He remarked. "Of course we were younger then and Cody did all of the cooking."
"At least he's useful for something." I replied.
"He also did my homework a lot of the time." Zack added. I stared at him. "Well it was more me copying his homework but it was done by him. "
"I'll make sure to help you with that." I agreed. "You probably need my help and could probably use a few extra lessons as well."
"What kind of lessons are we talking about?" He asked with a side of hopefulness. He seemed to be thinking of same thing that I was here.
"We'll just have to see." I replied coyly. "I don't know if we'll have time to do any tutoring tonight because it's already kind of late."
"That sucks." He commented. Yes it was quite convenient. Also inconvenient was the fact that we now had to share the room with Marcus. That was even more bothersome. Though, I'm sure that there had to be somewhere else on the ship that the two of us could shag. I need to find a map so I can know all the good places to go. I also remembered the security guard probably couldn't be bought but I think food would serve as a good bribe if needed.
The food was definitely good. We also got a pretty nice employee discount. I guess technically being a serving wench was a good thing. I probably would be offended if anyone other than Zack calling me that. Hmm, maybe we should play pirates some time. By that I mean Jack Sparrow and Elizabeth Swann style…just without all of the backstabbing that they do. I've never been a fan of Will. Jack and Elizabeth make a much hotter couple because Jack brings out the best in her. Before they met, she was some boring bird but he managed to make her a successful pirate.
What I liked most about Zack was his spontaneity. After we were done eating, he led me in a dance across The Sky Deck. Since no one was there, it didn't look like we had gone mad. That is unless you count madly in love and I don't think we were quite there yet. I wouldn't say that we were in love but there was definitely a mutual attraction between the two of us. After our dance had ended, we headed back to our room where Marcus was already asleep. After getting changed, the two of us got into bed. We decided not to cuddle because I don't think he was in a cuddling mood. I was sure that it would have been nice but if he didn't want to do it, I was okay with it.
In the morning, I was truly hit with the reality of the situation. I had had a dream. It was a really heartbreaking one. Basically it was the accident that took the lives of my parents. Instead of being a baby, I was myself. I could only watch as they died. It was heartbreaking. I woke with tears in my eyes.
I headed to the shower and began to wash myself as I cried. This was a little exhausting. Since it was Monday, I would have to go to class. This could be a bit of a problem since I don't remember what we were studying. I do know that if we had any homework, I could attribute me not knowing doing it to my memory loss. I do wonder if I would get those memories back. They probably weren't that important because I probably already knew the subject. Now if only I could remember what the teacher's name was. I do recall her being neurotic but not much else.
I walked to the classroom holding Zack's hand once again. We walked into the classroom and sat next to each other. It was then that a redheaded woman approached us. I assumed that she was the neurotic teacher that I remembered.
"Hello, Bailey. I heard you hit your head over the weekend." She replied. That didn't really help me remember her name at all. "I was just wondering if you were alright after all of that."
"Well I am physically fine." I replied. "To say that I'm 100% alright probably would be inaccurate."
"Is there any particular reason that you have a British accent?" She asked.
"Well I actually found out that contrary to popular belief, I was born in England." I explained. "I am suffering from sort memory loss
"So I take it that you didn't do your homework probably because you didn't remember what it is?" She asked as I nodded. "Okay that's fine, I'll tell you what it is after class and you can turn it later. What about you Zack, do I even have to ask?"
"Actually Ms. Tutweiller, I was helping Bailey adjust and remember things so I didn't have time to complete it." Zack replied. Okay now that was quick thinking. It was pretty much true.
"Okay fine." Ms. Tutweiller relented. "Do you need me to remind you what it was too?"
"That would be great." Zack replied.
We were currently studying France which I assumed was going to be the ship's next stop. I had a feeling we were going to be taking the English Channel and then heading to Paris. I remember wanting to go to Paris as a little girl. This was probably still true even though I grew up in Kansas. I imagined that Paris was a beautiful place and the clothes were also equally beautiful. I hope they let us go shopping. If we did, I wasn't going to make Zack go with me just to carry my bags like some of those American tarts do.
After class was over, Zack and I went to see a movie called Monte Carlo which was about a girl pretending to be a British heiress. The British heiress was a real bitch and kind of deserved what she got. I also noticed that one of the other girls had an accent that seemed to come and go. I'm glad that mine wasn't like that.
Afterwards I went to see if I could a good place for shagging while Zack went to the lavatory…no I didn't want to shag in there. The best that I could seem to come up with was a closet in one of the far wings by the planetarium. It could work but I would have to find Zack and bring him back there first. I also noticed Cody walking out of the planetarium.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him.
"I was trying to ask the stars how there was any way that could be interested in my brother. It just doesn't seem logical." He remarked.
"Maybe because you don't seem to understand that some girls like nice guys who also look good. I've gotten neither of those from you." I explained. He didn't respond to that. He just walked away. I couldn't help but wonder if I was being too harsh to him but I guess it wasn't my fault if he was desperate. I then thought of something else. That could work.
So I went and got Zack and then brought him back to the planetarium. It was probably the only place on the ship that we could shag under the stars. Yes I know that is a lame pun but I'm pretty sure that no one ever comes down here so it was okay.
No I am not going to explain what happened there. That's still private but it was a good thing. I think it was even better than the first time because there was the added danger that we could get caught, even though we probably wouldn't be.
This did include some cuddling. Zack was good at cuddling. I did wonder how many other girls he had done this with. We were safe so I guess it wasn't that big of a deal. I did not need to a babe or any wacky hijinks that could from being with child.
"So this was really great." Zack remarked. "You're right about no one ever coming here."
Not long after her said that, we heard footsteps. Oh bugger. We had to hurry and get dressed. We grabbed our clothes and did so as it was Woody who walked into the planetarium.
"Woody, what are you doing here?" Zack asked. It was at that point that I realized something was wrong with our trousers.
"Why are you wearing each other's pants?" Woody asked. Please don't say we were shagging. Please don't say we were shagging.
"Because it's International…Pants Swap Day." Zack improvised. That was the best he could come up with? There's no way Woody would believe that. He might as well as just stated that we were shagging in the planetarium.
"Ooh I want to see if anyone wants to switch with me." Woody replied in glee. Okay I seemed to have underestimated his gullibility. In any case, he left and we were free to switch our bottoms.
"You know you can keep wearing those if you want." I joked.
"No thanks these are way too tight." Zack responded. "We're lucky that he didn't look at the front of my pants."
Yes, that could have been an awkward situation. It also could have been very awkward if someone else, especially someone from the staff had found us.
After we were wearing the correct garments, Zack spoke up.
"So now that that's over, do you want to go get some grub?" He asked.
"Of course." I replied. "I want to eat before we head to France so I don't have to eat snails."
So yeah, Zack and Bailey soiled the planetarium so to speak. The scene with the swapping of pants actually happened with two of my coworkers several years ago. What kind of hilarity will happen once they get to France? You must review to find out.
