Rock The Boat IX- 6.8.2008
Roxy sighed, a smug smile on her pink glossy full lips. Her grass green eyes closed behind darkly tinted Dolce and Gabana sunglasses. She stretched out, like a cat contentedly soaking up the warm winter sun. Yes, in the Bahamas, the winter sun was warm. She layed out on her purple beach towel on top of the deck lounge chair. The chairs to both her left and right were empty, just like she liked it. She couldn't believe she was here. On the deck of a cruise ship in the Bahamas. But oh, she deserved it. She'd slaved it with two jobs, the second just to pay for this trip.
A frown disrupted her face as a shadow fell over her. she opened her eyes and tipped her sunglasses down her nose, and looked up at the intruder. Her expression changed instantly to a sultry smile. Sliding her sunglasses back into place, she tossed her long brunette largely curled hair over her right shoulder and waited for her new guest to make the first move.
"Hey."
"Hey.
"Company?"
"Sure." As he unfolded his beach towel, she screamed inwardly. She'd prayed this would happen, and this possibility was almost the entire reason she came on this cruise. She glanced down at her bikini top to make sure all was placed well. It was sky blue and looked good against her light goldenly tanned skin. She watched her "company" sit and make themselves comfortable. In a moment when he wasn't looking, she pinched herself on the opposite side to make sure she wasn't dreaming, sitting next to her celebrity crush. She already knew his blue eyes were roaming over her body behind his own dark Ray Bans, and her stomach tightened with excitement.
"Enjoying yourself?" He asked.
"A little, more with company." She smiled sweetly as her eyes started at the top. His long blond wind touseled, sun streaked hair, straight nose, perfectly kissable soft, red lips, slight indent in the chin, and no shirt over his thin but well muscled torso, and red loose swim trunks to his knees over his long legs, and sandaled feet. He flashed his famous crooked smile, and her stomach knotted.
"So what's your name?"
"Roxy, and if you don't mind me saying, I know yours." She smiled, and lifted her left hand, showing off a fan club members only charm bracelet. After giving it a shake, she lowered her hand as a knowing smile passed over his lips.
"Awesome. Then you came for us?"
"And the possibility of this." Smiling, she slowly brought her legs up under her and turned her body towards him, and leaned forward on the arm of the chair. He shook his head, smiling.
"You're gorgeous."
"So are you."
"Your room?"
"Your wife?"
"Sea sick, stuck in the cabin."
"Right around the corner."
"Lets go." They jumped up, grabbed their towels and dashed to her room. She opened her door and slammed it behind him. He was on her so fast her head spun. He had her pinned up between the door and his body. He reached up and slowly drew her sunglasses away, then his, tossing them gently on the floor. "Your eyes are amazing."
"So are yours." And with that, his mouth covered hers greedilly.
As they got back into their swimming suits an hour later, he told her, "I know a song I'll change. I want you to listen tonight."
"Alright."
"See you then." She could only nod and remember how he'd felt touching her.
Later that evening, the stars were out and all the boat's lights were on like a party. Roxy had waited in the front of the stage for a couple hours, along with the few other fan club members that had been able to make the trip. When her band came on, right away, she knew.
"This song, is really popular right now, so I know you'll all know it, but I changed the lyrics around some. It's an experience I had earlier today." He smiled down at Roxy. "Here we go." The beat started, then the melody joined. His voice filled the speakers. The crowd cheered when they recognized it.
This was nver the way I planned
Not my intention
I got so brave, no drink in hand
Lost my discretion
It's not what, I'm used to
Just wanna try you on
I'm curious for you
Cought my attention
As he launched into the chorus, the crowd roared while the members of the fan club stood, frozen, jaws on the floor. Except for Roxy, who was swaying in a green strapless sundress, smiling at him while he sang, and him smiling at her.
I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I just hope my wife don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Might mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it
Yeah, I even know your name
And, it matters
You're my expiramental game
Just human nature
It's not what, good guys do
Not how they should behave
My head gets so confused
Hard to obey
They launched into the chorus again, him rocking out as usual. It was the best song ever, and she hoped someone, as usual, was recording somewhere. The crowd quieted as they went into the bridge of the song.
You girls are just so magical
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable
Hard to resist so touchable
Too good to deny it
A big deal, not so innocent
I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I just hope my wife don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Might mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it
The crowd exploded with cheers as the fan club members stood silent. From the few fan club members, she heard a gasp come from them. She turned to look where they were looking, and there was Natalie, standing at the edge of stage right, in plain sight, with tears streaming from her eyes as she staired at her husband. When Taylor turned to see what they were all looking at, Roxy could read his lips when he said, "oh shit." Roxy saw Natalie turn and run, and Taylor, torn between going after her and finishing the show. He looked to his brothers for a split second, all knowing what had to be done. Taylor didn't even look at Roxy as he walked off the stage after her, hand running though his hair.
