The next day the ship docked at an island just off the coast of Nassau. Everyone got off the boat and decided to look around. Taylor followed AJ off the boat, he was acting like he was 12 again. "AJ! Would you slow down!," Taylor exclaimed as he pulled her by her hand.
"I can't help it!"
"Yes you can..slow down!"
He laughed and stopped so she could catch up, "Sorry babe..I just wanna explore.."
"And we will..we have ALL day.."
He grinned, "I know..now come on!"
She sighed as he began practically dragging her again, it was going to be a long, but fun, day.
They went to the beach to spend some time in the ocean. Taylor laid her towel down and AJ did the same with his. "Wanna go in the water?," He asked taking off his sunglasses.
"Umm..well..maybe.."
"Maybe?"
"Yeah..you have to catch me first in order to get me in the water!," She said before taking off down the beach.
AJ stood there confused for a second before taking off after her. He finally caught up with her and swung her over his shoulder, "HAHA! Now you can go in the water!"
"AJ! Be gentle! I'd like to get used to it first!"
"No way!"
"ALEXANDER!!"
He laughed as he walked into the water, it was now knee deep. "I'll set you down now."
Taylor shivered involuntarily as her feet went in the water. "Its cold!"
"Not too bad..come on..let's go swim."
She watched as he dove under water and resurfaced about 3 feet from her. She sighed, she was going to have to go underwater sooner or later, so she did it then.
Taylor yawned as they made their way back onto the ship. It was almost 8 o'clock and the ship would be leaving at 9. "Tired?," AJ asked.
"A little..swimming always seems to make me tired."
He put his arm around her, "But, its a good kind of tired, right?"
"Yep..I'm gonna go take a shower.."
"Okay..I'm gonna head to the dining hall and see what they got..meet me there?"
She smiled, "Sure."
He kissed her, "Okay..See you then."
She nodded and walked towards the elevator.
Taylor walked into their suite and opened her suitcase. She pulled out a pair of khaki pants and a sleeveless top and other things and went to go take a quick shower.
AJ walked into the dining hall and went to see what the buffet had to offer. He got a plate and walked around, grabbing things here and there. After loading up his plate, he found a table and sat down to eat.
Taylor finished with her shower and got ready and went down to the dining hall. She spotted AJ pretty quickly and walked over. "Hey..you're quick.," He said.
She smiled and sat down, "I know..is anything good?"
"Yep..everything's good..go get something.."
"K..I'll be right back."
He watched as she walked up to the buffet and got a plate. He would of probably kept on watching her if someone hadn't blocked his view. He looked up and was met with a pair of dark blue eyes. The woman smiled flirtasouly(sp?), "Hi..My name's Kelly, I was wondering, could I have your autograph?"
"Umm..sure."
"Great.," She said sitting down.
AJ didn't say anything, took the peice of paper from her and signed it quickly. She leaned across the table, "Are you here alone?"
"No actually, I'm here with my wife."
"Don't you two have kids or something?"
"Yeah.."
"Where are they?"
"We just wanted to be alone for the weekend..the twins are with my mom."
"Oh how cute! You know, I just love what you did with your hair, it looks so good. So, what are you doing when you get back?"
AJ sighed inwardly, why wouldn't she just leave!? "Probably going home."
"Ohh..well you know, I am free tonight."
"Are you now? Well I'm sure you can find someone so you won't be free.."
She put her hand on his arm, "I was hoping it'd be you who'd keep me from being lonely."
AJ smiled tightly, "Well you know, I am married, I have two kids, and my wife is right over there."
Kelly looked where AJ was pointing. "Well, isn't she quaint. I would of thought you'd go for the bad boy type of girl AJ..not some little girl.."
"She's not a little girl.."
"Well..you could be having so much more fun with someone like me than with someone..like..oh I can't say it."
"No, please, say it.," Taylor said from behind her.
Kelly spun around and stood up. She smiled fakely, "I was just going to say that AJ could have so much more fun with someone of my character than a fat cow like you."
Taylor's eyes widened and she tried not to cry, not in front of this woman. AJ stood up, "Wait a minute, where the hell do you get off?!"
Taylor looked down at her plate of food and then back up at Kelly. "No..she's right. I suddenly am not hungry anymore. Why don't you have my dinner.," She said sweetly before dumping her plate of food on Kelly.
Kelly stood there in shock as Taylor walked out of the dining hall. AJ tried not to laugh at Kelly's expression, "Umm..I think I'm gonna go now.."
AJ walked quickly out of the dining hall and looked both right and left, he didn't see Taylor. He walked down towards the suite, figuring she had to of gone there. He unlocked the door and walked in. Taylor was throwing her things back into the suitcase. "Taylor.."
"Don't start with me AJ.."
He sighed, "She had no right to say that about you.."
"But she was right wasn't she AJ?!"
"What?! No! Taylor you are absolutely gorgeous!," He said turning her to face him.
His heart about broke when he saw she was crying. "Oh baby..don't cry..don't listen to whatever she had to say..," He said taking her into his arms.
"I..I just want to go home."
"We will be home tomorrow."
"I know..it just..hurt my feelings that someone would actually say that to my face. None of your fans have ever been that cruel to me!"
"I know baby..I'm sorry, I really am. I thought she'd just come over, get an autograph, then leave. She just stayed and wouldn't leave. You should of seen the look on her face though when you did that!"
She laughed dispite herself and wiped her eyes, "That just pissed me off.."
"It was funny as hell though.."
"I shouldn't of done that though.."
AJ smiled, "Yeah..you should of. She deserved it and more for saying something like that..are you okay now?"
She nodded, "Yeah..I didn't mean to start crying.."
"Its okay.."
"I am hungry though..," She said looking down.
AJ laughed, "I am too.."
"Hey! All I had was a bag of chips and a turkey sandwich for lunch!"
"I know! I'm not saying anything..let's order room service.," He said.
She sat down on the bed, "Okay.."
"What do you want?"
She shrugged, "Surprise me."
He grinned, "You might end up with octopus."
"Order that and you might not have any more kids."
"Okay okay..ouch, hurt a man where it really hurts!"
She laughed and threw a pillow at him. He dodged the pillow and swatted at her playfully with the room service menu.
"Would you just call already!?"
"I am!," He said picking up the phone.
