This is just one of many fantasies I have about the wonderful actor Heath Ledger. Your votes and feedback would be appreciated! :)
* * * * *
I was a Travel Agent for about 10 years and absolutely loved the profession. One of the wonderful perks about the job that I took full advantage of was being able to get really great discounts on hotels, car rentals, trips, cruises and sometimes even free airfare. Needless to say during those 10 years I've taken some really great trips. I still keep in contact with a girl that I used to work with and she invites me along every now and then when she's going somewhere.
One day I received a call from her and she invited me to come along on a Bermuda cruise with her. I took this same cruise a few years ago and it was one of the best vacations I've ever had. Out of all the islands I've visited Bermuda is my absolute favorite! I was so excited for the opportunity to be able to go again and jumped at her invitation.
When we arrived on ship the day of departure we had a very pleasant surprise. We found out that we would be staying in one of only two of the exclusive suites on board. The suites cost top dollar and are usually reserved for VIP's and celebrities. It turned out that whoever was suppose to be staying in one of the suites cancelled last minute, which made it available for us to occupy. This is what I mean when I say perks of the job! I wondered just how much better it could possibly get. Little did I know I'd soon be finding out.
When we got to the room and opened the door we couldn't believe our eyes. It was absolutely amazing! All the other cabins I've ever stayed in while on a cruise were extremely small and minimally decorated. This one compared to a room at a five star hotel. I noticed a door on one side of the room and figured it led to an adjoining suite, so that there could be access to both rooms if necessary. I had a fleeting thought about who the other person or people were that was staying in the adjoining suite, but quickly forgot about it as I concentrated on unpacking.
After a gourmet dinner and stroll around the ship my friend Melissa and I decided to go and hang out in our suite. We've already done the whole cruise thing before and figured we'd take advantage of the amenities our suite had to offer. When we stepped inside we immediately could hear music and voices coming from the adjacent suite. The voices were muffled but you could definitely tell that there was some kind of accent. Being curious and a tiny bit nosy I put my ear to the wall to see if I could hear better. Whoever it was you could tell they were having a good time. The music was loud and there was laughter. Melissa grabbed us a couple of drinks from the well-stocked mini-bar and we turned our music up to let our neighbors know we were next door. Their music was immediately turned down in response to ours, which gave me a great opportunity to figure out the accent. At first I thought it was British, but knew without a doubt it was Australian when I heard the word mate mentioned. I am such a sucker for an accent, especially an Australian one and I could've stood at the wall listening forever, but Melissa had a better idea. She suggested that we take our drinks out on the balcony, which adjoined with our neighbors and opened into a large patio area and that maybe they would join us.
We perched ourselves out on the balcony with our drinks, some refills and our music. When our neighbors didn't show up within the first half hour or so we figured they weren't coming out and possibly even left the suite. It didn't really matter to me anymore anyway. I was having enough fun without having to deal with being nice and making small talk with someone I didn't know.
I was talking to Melissa with my back turned, leaning against the balcony railing when she got the weirdest look on her face. Her eyes became as big as saucers and she started to choke on a piece of pretzel she had just put in her mouth. Concerned I leaned over asking her if she was ok. Coughing, she nodded yes and pointed for me to turn around. Confused I slowly looked over my shoulder and came face to face with Heath Ledger! I know my face must have immediately flushed, because my heart was pounding wildly in my chest when I saw him.
"Is your friend ok?" I heard him ask.
I wanted to scream and faint, but somehow I managed to reply in a calm voice that I thought she was fine. He flashed that infamous grin and apologized for startling us. He asked if it was ok for he and his friend Trevor to join us. He confessed that they had been eavesdropping on us for the entire time and had a few good laughs over our silliness and wanted to join in on our little party.
We stayed up the entire night drinking, laughing and just goofing around. Heath was so much fun to be around, just like I knew he would be. He's got a great sense of humor and can make you laugh at just about anything.
Finally as daylight approached Melissa and I decided we should try to get some sleep and Heath agreed that he and Trevor should also. I walked over to the adjoining door in our suite to unlock and open it with Heath following behind me. I unlocked the dead bolt and when I put my hand on the doorknob to turn it he covered my hand with his own and gave it a squeeze, remarking that he had a lot of fun and saying that tomorrow night we'd switch to his room. I'm not sure what my response was because all I could think about was the electricity I felt when his hand touched mine. As I closed the door behind him I remembered the same feeling I had earlier in the night when his bare leg had nonchalantly brushed against mine.
Melissa grabbed my arm and drug me into the bathroom, shutting the door behind us, so we could excitably talk about our night without the worry of Heath or Trevor possibly over hearing us in their suite. It took us at least an hour or so to fully absorb the entire events of the evening and with great anticipation of what was to come tomorrow night we exhaustedly fell into our beds.
Heath's fingers brushed my cheek and my body trembled with anticipation of his kiss. He slowly lowered his head bringing his lips just inches from mine.
((KNOCK)) ((KNOCK)) ((KNOCK))
"Noooooo…go away!!" I fought to remain asleep.
((KNOCK)) ((KNOCK))
"Oh damn it!" I mumbled out loud, as I forced my body out of bed and stomped over to the door to open it.
It was Heath. He took one look at me and laughed. Still grumpy I snidely asked him what was so funny.
Reaching over he moved a stray hair out of my eyes and said with a chuckle, "Your hair have you seen it?"
"Are you kidding me?" I sarcastically replied. "Have you seen yours Heath?"
Heath is the only person in the world that I know who actually looks good with bed head. To tease him I raised both of my hands to mess with his hair. He quickly grabbed my wrists, brought them behind my back and drew my body into his.
Stunned I stood there as he leaned down and playfully whispered into my ear, "So what's wrong with my hair, eh?"
At that moment Melissa called into the room as she approached, "Hey, who was at the…" She stopped short when she saw the position Heath and I were in.
"Ah, sorry you guys didn't mean to interrupt." She remarked and turned to walk out.
Heath released me laughing. "It's ok we were just goofing around!"
Oh you're gonna pay for that one Heath Ledger!" I remarked as I walked over to the refrigerator to get a drink. Suddenly my mouth was incredibly dry.
"Trevor and I were wondering if you two wanted to come over to our suite and have something to eat with us. Oh, and if you want we thought we'd try out the Jacuzzi later. What do ya say?" Heath asked smiling.
I flashed a grin at Melissa and somehow managing to keep my composure and a steady voice I replied, "Sure why not? We'll get dressed and be over in a few minutes. Ok, Heath?"
"Great." Heath responded as he turned and closed the door behind him.
Melissa grabbed my arm and we ran to the bathroom to excitedly talk again. After my explanation to Melissa about my dream and what was going on with Heath and I at the door we left the bathroom considerably calmer. We tried to get ourselves around as quickly as we could, but the few minutes of time I told Heath that it would take us turned into an hour.
I knocked twice on the adjoining door to let Heath and Trevor know we were coming in and opened it. There was a huge amount of food spread out on the table.
"I was wondering if you two were gonna show up or not." Heath remarked walking toward me with a wink.
He grabbed my hand and added, "Hmmm it seems it was worth the wait."
Blushing slightly I replied, "thank you".
With his hand remaining in mine he led me over to the table and pulled my chair out for me. Trevor did the same for Melissa.
After we finished eating Trevor asked if anyone was up for the Jacuzzi.
Heath flashed me a seductive smile at Trevor's question and I said, "I definitely am."
Heath stood up and started to remove his shirt. Trevor did the same while Melissa and I just sat there watching them.
Teasing I commented, "Is that it Heath? How about the bottoms now?"
