I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Tara's Point of View-
I climbed out of the raft, and walked over to Chris helping him with his life vest and helping him back to his room with Alex.
"Your in my room?" Chris asked.
"Yeah, I have a connecting room to Alex….he thought I was you earlier that is how we met." I said.
"Like we weren't going to meet any other way." Alex said.
"Yeah, she would have met you while you were working that pole later…" Chris said chuckling.
"Will I ever live that down?" I asked.
"No…I got some moves, watch this…." He said grabbing onto a pole that was holding up the roof/level grinding against it, I covered my face blushing and kept walking. "Aw, push it…push it real good…" Alex started singing along to his dancing.
"Go Alex, go Alex, go! Where is my dollars?" Chris asked as he was trying to dance on his crutches.
"You guys are ridiculous, come on Chris…" I said trying to grab him and help him to his room.
"Tara…Tara…" Alex said as he was walking and thrusting behind me getting me to speed walk and try to get out of his path but he kept following me.
"Leave me alone…Alex, stop it…Alex!" I said as Chris was standing still laughing so hard his face was turning red, I was trying to smack Alex to stop it from behind me but he wasn't that close to me.
"Am I sexy now?" Alex asked as he begun lifting his shirt up.
"Don't!" I said trying to cover my face when he grabbed me wrapping his strong arms around my waist picking me up a tad, "Put me down!" I said kicking when Chris was trying to catch up.
"Alex Shelley, put that poor girl down!" The same blonde man from earlier said.
"Yes sir." Alex said dropping me.
"Whoa!" I said dropping landing flat on my butt.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry, are you okay?" Alex said realizing that he just totally dropped me trying to help me to my feet.
"I'm fine…" I said slowly getting up to my feet trying to use as little help from him.
"Do I know you?" The blonde asked.
"I'm Tara, I'm in the room next to Alex and I know Chris from work." I said hoping I didn't get them in trouble.
"They aren't harassing you are they? They are two of our most rambunctious tag teams…" He said.
"Oh yes, that Chris is so rambunctious with that broken leg and all…he's running all around this ship and everything…." I said jokingly.
"You caught me, when your not looking I'm running all over here like a mad dog." Chris said.
"A mad dog?" Alex asked.
"Yeah, a mad dog, gr!" Chris said.
"Okay…well…Alex, you got a match with Kendrick, you need to go get suited up…" The blonde said.
"Will do…" Alex said nodding.
"Nice meeting you Tara, and thanks for coming onto the cruise." He said as Alex and Chris chuckled.
"Shut up you two…" I said nudging them.
"I don't want to know….." The blonde said waving his hand as he turned and walked away.
"I can walk Chris back to his room if you want to go up and get ready for your wrestling match." I said.
"Will you come watch?" Alex asked.
"I'll think about it…" I said smirking as Alex headed towards the elevator with a smile on his face and I walked with Chris back to his room.
"You know you don't have to help me, I am a grown man." He said as I grabbed the crutches from him after he sat onto his bed and was moving himself to prop his leg up.
"I know, but I want to help and its part of my job to take care of you."
"We aren't at work, which means you don't have too…"
"I want too…I like helping…" I said smiling as I leant his crutches against the wall near the bed in case he needed to grab them to move about his room.
"I feel bad if you base your whole 4 day weekend around me."
"I won't base it around you, but by the looks of it my weekend will be anyway…" I said.
"Don't be afraid to tell Alex no…he deserves to hear no once and a while." Chris said chuckling.
"I will keep that in mind…I'm in room 4873 so feel free to call my room, you still have my cell phone number?"
"Yeah, I still have your cell number."
"Okay, so if you can't get a hold of me in my room, call my cell and I will be around."
"Thanks Tara." Chris said smiling.
"You need anything?"
"Nope, I'm fine here…" He said smirking.
"Alright, I'm going to head back to my room…" I said patting his upper leg before I headed out of his room and up to my room trying to get used to the small sway of the boat but it was hard. I went into my room laying on my bed hoping that laying down will be better but it wasn't that better since I can feel the swaying more getting me to not feel well. I laid there holding my stomach hoping the feeling will go away but it wasn't, so I got up making my way to the bathroom kneeling beside the toilet continuing to hold my stomach until I vomited into the toilet flushing it then move to where I sat beside the toilet leaning back against the wall hoping I didn't have to vomit again but I stayed in there because I still felt as if I was sick. I couldn't help but to think about Alex, I wanted to go down and see his match but I didn't want to leave my post and have to get sick again. I sat there for Lord knows how long until I heard the connecting door opening and knew it must be Alex.
"Tara?" Alex asked.
"I'm in here." I said as I saw Alex step into view in the doorway, he was instantly concerned and pretty much ran into the room kneeling down beside me.
"You okay?" He asked concerned.
"I don't feel so well, I think I may be seasick…" I said.
"What do you want me to do?" Alex asked.
"Is there a store on this ship?" I asked.
"This isn't a time to go shopping."
"Not that type of shopping…" I said trying to get up, he helped me get to my feet and he wrapped my arm around his shoulders helping me out to the main room where I sat on the bed.
"What type of shopping?"
"I need to get something to make me feel better." I said as I reached for my wallet that was in my purse.
"Don't worry, I got it…" Alex said as he made sure I was situated before he ran out of the room, I laid down on the bed trying to stay still and an half hour later Alex came rushing into my room through the connecting door carrying a brown bag filled with things.
"Alex, what the hell did you get?" I asked sitting up onto my elbows regretting it on some level.
"I didn't know what you needed…" Alex said as he set the bag down pulling out the first item being a pack of pads and tampons, I started to blush and roll my eyes.
"I'm sea sick, not on my period…" I said, Alex tossed them aside before pulling out a pregnancy test, "I'm not pregnant…" I said laughing now at this.
"It's not funny, I don't know what you need…I even called Chris for help."
"Did he say to get all this?"
"No…"
"Then why'd you get it?" I asked chuckling.
"I wanted to be on the safe side." Alex said as he pulled out Pepto Bismuth, "I know this works for upset stomachs." He said as he set it down on my bed.
"I'm curious what else you got."
"I got some ginger ale, crackers, and dredomine patches." Alex said as he pulled them out.
"How much was all this?" I asked reaching for my wallet to grab some cash.
"Don't worry about it, I want my buddy to feel better."
"Buddy?"
"Yep, you're my ship buddy for this weekend." He said smirking and gave me a quick wink before he poured some Pepto into the small cup to the dosage line handing it to me for me to drink. He went into the bathroom to rinse out the cup as I opened the box of patches and put one on my arm in hopes it will start working before tomorrow. I was embarrassed to be like this in front of Alex, the one guy that I PROBABLY had a shot with and now he has to take care of me because stupid me can't handle a simple sway of a cruise ship. Alex came back out setting the Pepto aside, I wiped at my face chuckling a tad. "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm so sorry, just embarrassed and when I get embarrassed I tend to laugh…" I said.
"There isn't anything to be embarrassed about…" Alex said as he moved the ginger ale so he can sit on the bed across from me.
"Yes there is…a person of my age shouldn't be sea sick."
"A person my age shouldn't be afraid of sick people."
"Your afraid of sick people?"
"Afraid may not be the right word, I get uncomfortable around them and I worry too much about their well being."
"As most people do." I said smiling.
"You want to split some ginger ale with me? We have a whole bottle here, it may not be as good as wine, or beer for that matter but its still good." He said smirking pulling the ginger ale bottle out from behind his back.
"Sounds good." I said smirking, he went into the bathroom grabbing a couple of the plastic cups that was placed on the sink before he walked out with them. "How was your match?" I asked curiously as he handed me a cup to pull the plastic off of.
"It was good, I have had better matches but it went well, no one got injured so that is always good…" Alex said.
"That's a good sign when no one gets injured…"
"It is…" Alex said as he opened the ginger ale as I held the two plastic cups while he poured the ginger ale for us, "Is that enough?"
"Yeah, I'm not a big ginger ale fan so the less is merrier."
"You were the type of kid that never wanted to drink or eat what is best for them when they were sick…"
"Yep, I was the kid that wanted to go out and play even if I was sick as a dog…" I said as he put the ginger ale bottle on the night stand and moved the box of crackers.
"Scoot over…" Alex said as he was shoving me, I begun scooting over giving him room to climb onto the bed next to me, he grabbed my remote turning the television on flipping it to the cruise's channel where it was designated for all of the Impact matches that you wanted to watch.
"Who are those guys?" I asked noticing the two big men in the ring.
"The red head is Crimson and the other is Matt Morgan."
"Their huge…" I said sipping my ginger ale.
"And I'm not?"
"Sorry Alex, but they got some height and muscles on you." I said smirking.
"Psh, whatever…" Alex said rolling his eyes, he was instructing me about each move and the thought/technique behind it. I slowly laid down and he laid over my head onto his elbow that was propping him up from the pillow on the left of my head. "You feeling any better?" Alex asked after a few hours of watching these wrestling matches, he put the back of his hand on my forehead, I looked up to him smiling.
"Yeah, a tad…"
"Your head is a little hot, I'll go get you a wet wash cloth." Alex said climbing off the bed.
"You're a good Mr. Mom." I said chuckling.
"Well, you know…" Alex said shrugging as he went into my bathroom and came back with a drained wash cloth resting it over my forehead before he climbed back onto the bed with me, I slowly fell asleep unintentionally with him laying with me and under his watch.
