A Caribbean Cruise

The five women board the SS Exotica as a group. We chat away as if no time had passed since our last meeting, though it had been months since we had all been together in the same place. Most of us lived in Michigan but we were spread all about the state that we were never really got together since back in college.

I glanced over my shoulder at my group of friends, the five of us all walking up the ramp into the ship. I wasn't going to carry anything, that's why Grace paid for this cruise, why would I give a shit about my bags when some worker would bring them to my room. With a roll of my eyes I saw the scrawny and tall bellboy grab my luggage and struggle to carry it up the ramp. I couldn't help but snicker at him as I continued to chat and laugh with my friends.

"So here's the situation!" Grace begins "I could only get two rooms since this cruise is so demanded." she begins "So, I"m going to share with our lovely engaged Brooke and the other three will room together, okay?!" she states.

"Seriously?!" Danielle retorts "These rooms better be amazing!"

"I agree, what the hell, Grace?" Megan replies.

"Calm down, calm down!" Grace says "The rooms aren't that great but come on ladies, we won't be in the rooms most of the time, just to sleep and get changed. Why splurge on amazing rooms when we can use the money elsewhere!"

"It's all good, ladies." Isabella replies, her normal better than everybody else stature reigning supreme "We'll have fun either way."

It isn't that much longer before Grace and myself get into our bedroom and the other three girls get into theirs.

As I look around, I see two beds sitting on top of each other, obviously bunk beds, the rest of the room is rather small. It has a small window that looks out of the room and off into the distant sea, it gazes long off into the distance, looking into the horizon. The rest of the room has a chair, a couch, a table and a mini fridge to keep any amenities cold.

As I open the door, I look around the limited space and I can't wait until I can finally enjoy the night before me. "Hey Grace?" I let out, moving to the restroom to splash some of the filtered water in my face.

"Yeah, Brookey?" she questions.

"Thank you..." I smile at my best friend "Now come on, what's your plan for the first night here?!?" I smile happily.
