EPOV

I had to say, this was impressive.

The ship wasn't too big, considering it was just a small cruise trip, maybe fitting a hundred people. Alice had wanted it that way; less people to recognize Jasper so we could enjoy ourselves.

Once we were on deck, we were shown our cabins by a very flirty blonde, one for Jasper and Alice, and a smaller single one for me.

Not the blonds. The cabins.

I cringed at the image of the blond woman with Alice and Jasper in that way. I did not need that image of Alice in my head.

My room was nice; a comfortable bed, table, and dresser, with a window port giving me a good view of the ocean. The adjoining bathroom equipped with a surprisingly nice size shower.

I had been worried this was going to be shitty.

Alice told me that the ship had a swimming pool, plus a smaller kiddie pool, a dinning hall and buffet, an arcade room, and a spa. Then of course there was the deep sea diving, instructors on hand, and something Alice called 'Whale Watching'. I was just going to stay away from that one.

The ship took off shortly afterward, but I stayed in my room. Jasper let Alice loose, I could see her running around on the main deck whenever I looked out my window, Jasper trailing a few steps behind her, a big ass smile on his face.

While looking out the small window, I caught a flash of something out of the corner of my eye. Turning my head fully, I saw a small girl, no older than seven or eight, running around the deck, much like Alice.

But it wasn't the little girl that caught my full attention… it was the woman walking behind her, laughing at something the little girl had turned and said to her.

She was pretty, not quite in that outrageously beautiful supermodel way, but there was something about her that drew me to her, that made me want to go up and talk to her. That was an extremely rare occurrence for me. I normally kept away from pretty girls like that one, too worried I'd make an ass out of myself because I tended to clam up and blurt out stuff.

Her long, curly, dark brown hair was blowing around in the wind, her face was heart shaped and pale. I was too far away to tell what color her eyes were, but I pictured blue or maybe brown. A short little thing, from what I could tell, only a few inches taller than Alice.

She was wearing jean shorts, showing off her shapely legs, and a loose white t-shirt over a blue bikini top.

Maybe I will go out on deck…
