Alicia

The brunette looked up at Amber with a sad smile, "Huh? Oh, yeah. My name is Alicia. No offense but I really didn't want to go. I just dumped my boyfriend of like...forever a month ago. But...I miss him."

"So, call and get him back." Amber answered.

Alicia sighed deeply, which pushed her breasts out very enticingly. "I...I...said some things that I shouldn't. I'd be surprised if he even thinks about me at all."

Meghan shook her head, "Okay, first off the guy promised he would quit smoking after college, and he never did. He lied many times about that..."

"But...I'm afraid that he may wind up getting back into harder stuff. I mean...I...at least I wish I could have handled it a bit better. Maybe we needed a break, I mean he is the only guy I've ever been with, and...we've been together since we were fifteen, it's...oh god I hope he's not face up in a gutter somewhere...I should call...make...make sure he's okay and..."

Julie shook her head, "Look, I understand..."

Alicia's face suddenly contorted in anger, which immediately cut her off, "No, you don't. You don't have the faintest Idea of what this is about. You don't know how I feel, and you don't even care really."

"Why would you say that?" Julie asked, her voice quiet, hurt.

"Because right now I'm being really emotional." Alicia stated and walked over to a deck chair and flopped in it. Julie on the other hand had walked towards the back of the ship, leaving Meghan, Kristen and Amber to wonder what to do.

Kristen looked between the two, then at the Captain. "They've always had a love hate relationship."

"I see." Amber answered, not really meaning it.

Kristen nodded, "See, Alicia and Dirk..."

"Wait...Dirk?"

"Yeah. Anyway, they had been, as she stated together since they were fifteen. And that was about the time that Julie came out as Bi. And she had wanted Alicia to be her first, but that didn't pan out, and it was a long fight. Hell, Meghan and I just got them to being friends again this last year. And they hit it off pretty good, but Julie still didn't like Dirk. In fact..." Meghan said taking over the story, and then pausing.

"It was Julie's idea for Alicia to do a break with Dirk to get him to see the light and stop the pot." Kristen said, speaking low.

"Julie wouldn't have done that to try and get with Alicia...would she?" Meghan said.

Meanwhile, Amber was standing there not really hearing a thing as she tried to figure out if the Dirk they were talking about is the Dirk that was right now, at this very second getting his stuff unpacked in his stateroom.
