Blane sighed happily as she sipped her drink on the lounge chair.She was wearing her new bikini and soaking up as much sun as she could. Erica turned and smiled at her."So is everything OK between you and Nick now?," she asked,as she adjusted her sunglasses and laid back on her lounge chair. Blane nodded."Yeah.We talked things out," she answered. Just then Nick walked up to them and kneeled down next to Blane's chair."Aren't you gonna go swimming?," he asked. She nodded."I will.I just wanted to lay out first," she told him,removing a strand of hair from his forehead. He smiled at her."OK," he said,and stood up and started to walk away,but suddenly turned back and scooped her up in his arms. She screamed."Nick,put me down!," she exclaimed,laughing. He shook his head."Oh no.You're going in the pool with me," he told her,as he carried her toward the water. "Nickolas,I swear.If you...," she began,but before she could finish,he threw her in the water,and jumped in after her. She surfaced and splashed water at him."You're so dead!," she exclaimed,as he pulled her closer to him and grinned from ear~to~ear. Brian splashed her,and she spun around and jumped on top of him and they began a round of water wrestling. Erica jumped into the pool and she and AJ began to frolick themselves.Soon everyone was in on it,and for the next couple hours they contiuned to have fun in the sun.

Blane and Nick walked into their cabin,laughing and giddy after dinner. "I'm stuffed.I don't think I'll eat anything ever again," she stated,and threw herself down on the bed. He layed down on top of her and kissed the tip of her nose."Are you enjoying the cruise so far?," he asked. She smiled."Oh yeah.I'm having a fantastic time," she replied. He leaned down and kissed her."We finally have some alone time," he whispered. She knew what he was hinting at,and reached up and pulled off his shirt.He removed his pants,then took off all her clothes,and began to travel kisses all over her body. She moaned as he entered her and began his gentle lovemaking.She rested her hands on his shoulders as he moved on top of her,filling her with his excitement. "Oh baby girl.I love you so much," he whispered in her ear,and then moved his lips over to hers,and they kissed hungrily,their tongues fighting for control in each other's mouths. He travelled his hands all over her body as he continued his lovemaking. "Nick,let me make love to you now," she begged him. He placed a finger over her lips."No,baby girl.This is your night~a time for me to show you how much I really love you," he told her. She traced her finger over his cheek."I love you so much," she whispered,as his mouth closed over hers again. He continued his lovemaking to her,as a gentle breeze drifted through the window,bringing with it the smell of the ocean.

Brian and Karen were checking out the game room.He was playing a game of pinball while she watched. "Come on.You try now," he said,throwing her a smile that made her melt. She shook her head,"I don't know how," she told him,a little embarrassed. He shrugged."No big deal.I'll show you," he said."Come on." He took her hand and pulled her in front of him,and took her other hand from behind and placed them both on the knobs."All you do is hit this ball and try to get it to the top." She tried,and finally managed to get the ball to the top.A bell sounded,and she jumped up and down with excitement."I did it! I did it!," she exclaimed. Brian smiled at her."I knew you would," he said. She grinned."Thanks for showing me," she said,and played a few more games before she and Brian left the game room and headed for their separate rooms. As they strolled along,he looked over at her."Did you have fun today?," he asked her. She nodded."Yeah.I hope the rest of this trip is as fun as today was," she replied.She smiled."I really like all the gals.They're all so nice." He agreed."Yeah.We're all one big happy family," he said. They reached her cabin and he turned to her."I guess I'll see you tomorrow.Good night," he remarked. She squeezed his hand."Goodnight,Brian.Thanks again," she replied. Brian turned to walk away,but she grabbed his arm. "Brian,wait," she said. He turned back to her."Yeah?," he questioned her. She took a step toward him and gave him a quick kiss on the mouth.Then she stepped into her cabin and closed the door,leaving him standing there stunned.
