Journal Entry #14 – Pleasure Cruise, Day 1
Hi Journal,
I know it may seem normal for me, but I'm going to try to have the craziest Spring Break Ever!
Daddy arranged for the cruise over a year ago, figuring it would be a safer place to have Spring Break than any of the hotspots. Boy, did I prove him wrong. His plan was for me to go off with my friends and have the best time ever, but what he didn't know was that he was sending me along with my best accomplices.
Sunday morning the limo brought Tammy, Alicia, Becca, and me down to the port. We waited in line waiting to board the ship, and we spent most of our time scoping out the other passengers, making our plans. Tammy wasn't too interested in scoring on this trip, since she is pretty happy with her life as it is, and Alicia was looking for a guy to have a romance with and never see again. Becca was hoping to get laid, but her attitude always gets in her way. I had brought my notebook and several notepads so I could expand my lovely journal.
I was ready for anything.
When we boarded we went straight to our suite on the Empress Deck (aptly named) and changed right away into shorts and deck shoes with bikini tops. Just to match a little bit more we each put on baseball caps. Alicia had been on cruises before, so she warned us about the Lifeboat drill that was going to start shortly.
We unpacked, a funny thing to watch with four girls fighting for very limited closet and drawer space. There was a knock at the door and Tammy opened it and let in Tony, our Filipino room attendant. He was older, probably nearly forty, but cute as the dickens. He was very respectful and didn't even sneak a peek at anyone's ass or tits (that we caught, anyways).
Tony showed us where the life vests were stored and offered to show us how to put them on and I could have killed Alicia when she said she would do that. Tony didn't seem too bothered when he left, but I was sure disappointed at the loss of a possible journal entry.
Just before four they called the Lifeboat drill and we went up to the lounge to wait. We sure got a lot of attention, especially from two older guys, so clean and stylish I thought they might be gay, except for their very obvious ogling.
We saw lots of kids and girls and guys around our age, but it was mostly older folks, couples with their families. Other than the two cute guys, the two that stood out were a Dad with his wife and two 18-year-old sons who kept looking at me and smiling. I wondered if he was just fantasizing or if there might be a journal entry there.
The other was a guy who looked about our age with his mom and dad. He had dark hair and was pretty cute, tall and thin, almost "lanky" I guess. He wore glasses and looked like a computer geek, but there was intensity in his eyes when he looked at me that was exciting. I think the fact that I only caught him looking at my face was pretty cool too.
The pursers went through their speeches and marched us out onto the deck, and as we stood there in crowded rows as the ship started to sail. The horn blew to tell us we were free, and we joined the crowd to head back to our suite.
Somebody bumped into me and I turned to see the glasses guy. He smiled and apologized, and I was sweet back because he didn't grope or anything, he just bumped me. It was hard in the noisy crowd, but I introduced myself, and he said his name was Alex. We found ourselves walking the same direction, so I asked if it was his first cruise and he said it wasn't, that he'd been on a few. He seemed really nervous, but I figured it was because he didn't get the courage to talk to pretty girls all that often.
I got to the door to my suite and found the door open, Tammy and Becca inside. Alex touched my arm and I turned around to look up into his eyes. The deck was rumbling from the big engines moving us out of port, but as I looked up into his intense eyes he felt more powerful than the engines, and I got like totally turned on. He looked down, like he was going to look at the floor, but ended up staring at my tits for the first time.
"You want to have dinner tonight?" he asked, then looked back up at my eyes.
"Alex!" his Dad called from a few doors down. "Come on, get unpacked!" When Dad saw me though his eyes got wide and he ducked back into the room. Alex smiled, obviously so embarrassed, and I said I would meet him by the pool at eleven. I asked him if he liked to dance, and he stammered and said he didn't dance, so I told him he was going to and then I popped into the suite and closed the door.
I was trying to decide on an outfit when Alicia came in and said she'd reserved a table for us in the David Lounge for dinner that night and all of the rest of the nights except the last two. We filled her in about Alex, and she seemed a bit pissed at first. We decided to put off everything else and go explore the ship.
Just to establish ourselves we decided to put on colorful tops, dark short skirts, and strappy heels. After approving the look with each other we headed out to explore.
We took the elevator down to the Promenade Deck and walked past the Starry Night Lounge and through the Casino, which was still closed and walked until we reached the Lobby. My God it was beautiful, all decorated in Renaissance style with an atrium that rose like seven levels and had a glass ceiling. It was crowded, with people ambling around aimlessly, and we were very overdressed, but then we were also very hot.
We wandered the decks for a long time, getting situated, but we found most of the clubs closed until later. The pool deck was nice, but a bit cramped, and we found a little stairway that had a chain across it and a sign saying it was adults only, because topless sunbathing was allowed. We all giggled, knowing where we would be spending at least some of our time.
The motion of the ship was relaxing to me, but Tammy had trouble walking on her heels and Becca looked positively green.
Our dinner reservations were for eight-thirty, so we headed up to the David Supper Club (excuse me), and almost had the most attentive cute waiter until a pretty Thai girl took over. She was good, but I usually get better service from guys. I wonder why? The food was excellent, but we couldn't order wine, no matter how hard we tried.
After dinner we went to the casino and dropped a few hundred bucks, and when it got close to eleven I excused myself, Tammy engrossed in a blackjack game. I went up to the pool area and found it wasn't too crowded. It was also damn cold and very dark. The bartender gave me a coke and I sat at a table and sipped it, shivering and wishing I had at least worn tights.
I didn't see him approach, but Alex came up from behind me and asked if he could sit. I said yes and he did, and we talked about how it was his sixth cruise and he was usually totally bored, and how he was glad he met me. I said he probably picked up girls on cruises all the time, and he looked really embarrassed and said he never had before.
I asked him why he had talked to me, and he looked into my eyes with his beautiful brown, intense eyes and quietly told me that I was the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen. You know? No matter how many times you hear it, when it's said so honestly you still get a thrill. He asked me to walk with him, and when he noticed how cold I was he put his arm around me. It felt really good.
We walked to the topless stairs and he led me up. I don't know what I was expecting, but I didn't mind at all, except for the cold wind getting worse as we climbed.
The sunbathing deck was really small and had high barriers to block the wind, so it felt warmer. Alex pulled two deck chairs together and when I laid out on one he went and got a couple of big towels. He gave them to me and I draped them over myself as blankets. He sat next to me, and the chairs didn't have arms so we scooted close to each other. I tossed a bit of blanket over him even though he didn't need it.
I asked him where he was from and he said his family moved all over the place, so he never spent much time in any one place. They had been living in Brentwood for the last month, in a hotel.
I moved close to him and enjoyed his warmth. Unable to stop myself I let my hand "innocently" rub across his lap and felt his hardness. Good, the boy was interested.
