ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING
Chapter Five
Fabrizio and Tommy woke up in the
morning to find Jack sleeping peacefully in the third bed. Fabrizio looked at
the clock. Ten o‘clock AM.
"I haven’t slept in this
late in awhile. I am surprised Jack is still asleep!" said Fabrizio. Tommy
laughed.
"Yeah. He was probably up
all night, talking to Rose on the phone or something. I heard him talking on
the phone right before I fell back asleep last night," said Tommy.
"Yeah. Let’s hit him with
our pillows to wake him up," suggested Fabrizio, laughing.
He and Tommy got out of their
beds, got dressed, and starting hitting Jack with their pillows.
"Wake up, Jack!" yelled
Tommy, hitting him with a pillow.
"Yeah! It’s ten
o‘clock!" said Fabrizio.
"Why are you guys torturing
me?" asked Jack, a confused look on his face.
"Hey, it’s not our fault you
were on the phone with Rose for a year last night," muttered Fabrizio.
"Shut up, Fabri. Like you
don’t call Adrienne all the time," said Jack. "I will be ready soon.
Just give me a minute."
About five minutes later, Jack
came out of the bathroom and the guys went to wake up the girls.
"Wake up, girls!" said
Jack, knocking on their door. "We want to go outside!"
"What the fuck? Who is
it?" asked Autumn through the door.
"It’s us. Hurry up and get
ready so we can go eat, then go out on deck and swim and stuff," said
Fabrizio.
"Hold on. Let me wake up
everyone else. You guys might want to go back to your room and watch TV or
something. It will take us awhile to get ready," said Autumn.
The guys agreed and went back to
their room. The girls went to their room Thirty minutes later, they went to eat
breakfast. They went to the café and ordered their food, then went outside to
go swimming. When they got to one of the pools, the guys got in the pool, but
the girls just sat on the deck chairs, tanning, until an hour later, when they
were interrupted.
"Come on, girls. Get in the
pool!" said Jack.
"No. The water is cold and
we need to get tans," said Adrienne, glaring at him over her magazine.
Jack picked Rose up and took her to the pool.
"No, Jack! No! Put me
down!" Rose exclaimed. Jack jumped into the pool with Rose in his arms.
"See? It isn’t so bad!"
"Jack, I am freezing, since
I’ve been out in the sun so long. Let me work on my tan for awhile, and then I
promise I will get in the pool later, and I will even swim at the beach when we
get to the Bahamas tomorrow," said Rose.
"Fine, but you’d better swim
later."
"Trust me. I will,"
promised Rose, walking back and getting her towel. She lay back down in the
sun.
"Guys, if you are just going
to stand there and wait for us to get in the pool, then go get us some lunch
and drinks," said Adrienne.
"Fine. Come on. Let’s go,
guys," said Tommy, walking towards the poolside deck alongside Jack and
Fabrizio. Once the guys had left, the girls started talking again.
"That pool water is
freezing. I told Jack I would go in there, so I guess I will later, but it had
better be warm," said Rose.
"I know. I told Tommy the
same thing," said Autumn.
"Same here," agreed
Adrienne.
"Goddammit! Where are they
with our food? It’s twelve o’clock, and I am starving," said Rose.
"I know. Same here. Sitting
out in the sun makes me tired and hungry," said Adrienne.
"Hey, they’re finally coming
back!" exclaimed Autumn happily, pointing towards Jack, Fabrizio, and
Tommy, who were walking towards them.
"Here’s your food, and
exactly what were you girls talking about?" Fabrizio asked teasingly.
"Nothing," said Rose,
Adrienne, and Autumn.
"That’s what they all say.
We really know you’re arguing about whose boyfriend is hottest," said
Tommy. The guys were all laughing at this comment, and the girls looked at them
like they were crazy.
"Yeah...right," Rose
said sarcastically, raising an eyebrow. "Whenever you guys talk, you’re
probably talking about porn, or something like that."
"Whatever," muttered
Jack, handing Rose her food.
"Okay, guys. Thanks for the
food. Now, leave us alone," said Adrienne, going back to reading her
magazine, as did the others.
Two Hours Later
"Okay, Jack. I will get in
the pool now," said Rose regretfully when he picked her up and made her
jump in the water with him. "Jack, this is so cold! How do you stand
this?"
"It’s fine to me."
"Girls must be
water-sensitive, then, because Adrienne and Autumn are freezing cold, too.
See?" asked Rose, pointing at Adrienne and Autumn, who wouldn’t get in the
water until Fabri and Tommy pushed them in. "Jack, how long do I have to stay
in here?"
"Thirty minutes."
"Fine."
Three Hours Later
"Come on, Jack," Rose
said, grabbing his hand. "We have to get back to our rooms and get ready
for dinner. Tonight is a formal night on the ship, and we have to wear nice
clothes."
"Fine. Let’s go."
They walked to their rooms with
Autumn, Tommy, Adrienne, and Fabri. Jack gave Rose a quick kiss and told her to
call them when they were ready to leave. They went inside their separate rooms
to get ready for dinner so Rose’s parents wouldn’t be upset with them again. They
hoped that they would get to sit where they wanted tonight, because last night
had been aggravating. They also hoped they wouldn’t see Cal again. Since he was
locked up, he would probably have dinner brought to him instead of going
anywhere. They just prayed that he wouldn’t ever be able to escape.
