Brittny pulled away quickly, and stood up turning away from Lance.
"Oh my gosh. Brittny, I'm sorry, I thought-"
Brittny turned around. She was confused. She liked Lance. She hated Danielle. So, why couldn't she bring herself to kiss him?
"Brittny," Lance said softly. She loved the way her name sounded coming from those lips. Lance stood up. "I'm sorry, but, every part of my body just told me that what I did was right. Being with you just feels so right to me. I'm sorry if you don't feel the same way, but I had to get that off my chest."
Brittny had never been so touched in her entire life. She didn't know what to say. This was all so overwhelming. So, she just stood their silently. Lance sighed sadly, and turned to the door. "I understand how you feel. I'm sorry. Goodbye."
She couldn't believe she was letting this perfect man walk out the door. "Wait!"
Lance turned around, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
"It's not that I don't feel the same way, because I do, I really do. It's just that you have a girlfriend. I can't be the girl you have on the side. And no matter how much I hate her, I can't bring myself to hurt someone like that. If you really feel the way you say you do, you're going to have to make a choice. Her or me."
Brittny was so scared. Her heart was pounding so loud, she was sure Lance could hear it.
His face softened. A smile spread across his face, as he rushed across the room, cupped Brittny's face in his hands, and pulled her into a deep passionate kiss. "You." he whispered, when they pulled away. He gave her another quick kiss. "You."
Brittny pulled away from him. "I need you to go settle things with Danielle before you say that. I want you to go talk to her and see how you feel. If you are back by six, then I'll know where we stand. If not, then I know you and Danielle have worked things out."
"Alright. If that's what you want."
"That's what I want."
"Then I'll be back in forty minutes."
"I hope."
"Goodbye." Lance leaned to kiss her, but Brittny turned away.
"Bye." she said.
Lance sighed, then left, and Brittny slammed her body onto the couch, and burst into tears of confusion.
"Joey?" Katie whispered to Joey who was skwirming in his seat.
"Yeah?"
"You wanna leave? You look like if you sit in here any longer you'll explode."
"Yes! Let's go!" he whispered excitedly.
Katie turned to Danielle who was sitting next to her with her head resting on JC's shoulder. "Danielle?"
Danielle sat up. "What?"
"Joey and I are going to leave."
"Alright. I'll see you back at the room."
Katie stood up. She grabbed a hold of Joey's hand, and they left the theater.
When they got out the sun stung their eyes, and Katie burried her head on Joey's shoulder.
"What do you want to do?" Joey asked.
Katie pulled away and shrugged. "Whatever."
"Well, when I first got on the ship I discovered this quiet little place we can go and talk or something." he suggested.
Katie nodded. "That would be nice."
Joey laced his fingers through Katie's and lead her to the bow of the ship. The sun was just begining to set as they sat down on a large power surger, leaving the sky orange and pink on the horizon. The only sound around them was the white, foamy waves crashing against the side of the ship.
Joey wrapped his arms around Katie's shoulders and she rested her head on his chest. They sat silently for a moment.
"Do you believe in love at first site?" Joey asked.
"I used to. I'm not so sure anymore."
"Why not?"
"Because I didn't fall in love with you until you kissed me."
Joey kissed the top of Katie's head. "I fell in love with you the second I saw you."
"How could you have? I was such a bitch to you."
"Well, you know what they say. Love is blinding."
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be."
"I am. It's not like me to be mean to people. I don't even remember why I was like that."
"Because of Justin and Becky." Joey reminded her.
"Well, now I realize how lucky I am that Justin has Becky. Because if Justin didn't, I would have spent all last night flirting with him, and I wouldn't have really met you." Katie crooked her head so she was looking up at Joey.
"I know we haven't known eachother that long, but deep down, I know that I'm 100% in love with you."
"I love you, too." their lips met in a slow, deep kiss.
"I want to know everything about you." Joey murmered.
"Alright. Where should we start?"
"How about your last name. . . ?"
